Predicting successful breathing tube removal in brain injury patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if simple breathing tests can predict whether a patient with a traumatic brain injury will successfully breathe on their own after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to make the removal process safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your family member has a traumatic brain injury (closed type, not an open wound).
- You have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) on a breathing machine for more than 24 hours.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your doctor has determined you are ready to try breathing on your own.
- Your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate) are stable.

This study is testing a simple way to measure how well you breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator in the ICU. It helps doctors decide the best time to safely remove the breathing tube.
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
This study looks at how to judge when it is safe to remove the breathing tube in people in the ICU after a brain injury. It may help improve timing and safety of extubation, when supported by a breathing trial and clinical stability.
This study looks at patients who are ready to have their breathing tube removed and checks how to predict who might struggle after extubation. It’s observational, meaning your care won’t be changed—researchers are gathering information to improve future predictions.
This study tests if a new method (PPI) can better predict when a patient is ready to have their breathing tube removed after a trial of spontaneous breathing.
This study looks at newborns on breathing machines to find signs that predict whether they can safely come off the machine. It aims to help doctors make better decisions about when to remove the breathing tube.
