Sleep quality and breathing tube removal in COPD patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep quality affects your ability to breathe on your own after being on a breathing machine in the ICU. It is for people with COPD who are getting better and ready to come off the breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with COPD (chronic lung disease).
- You are on a breathing tube (mechanical ventilation) for more than 24 hours.
- You are no longer getting continuous sedation or strong sleep medicines.
- Your level of consciousness is good enough to follow commands (Glasgow scale of 8 or higher).
- You do not have any brain damage or nerve/muscle disease (like a stroke or Parkinson's).

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 tests whether a special monitor can help doctors know when it's safe to take a breathing tube out after surgery in the ICU. The monitor looks at pain signals, and the goal is to make the process of breathing on your own again more comfortable.
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 tests a new approach to help patients with chronic heart, lung, or brain conditions come off breathing machines (ventilators) in the hospital. The goal is to use personalized information about each patient's condition to safely and successfully remove the breathing tube.
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 a respiratory rehabilitation program improves sleep quality in people with COPD. It may help you breathe better and sleep more restfully.
