Breathing machine settings and weaning success study
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours.
- You have had at least one attempt to take the breathing tube out (extubation), whether it worked or not.
- You have had at least one 'breathing trial' where you tried breathing on your own while still connected to the machine.

This study observes how doctors remove breathing machines from patients in intensive care units (ICUs) in developing countries. It aims to learn more about the best ways to help patients breathe on their own again.
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
This study compares two ways of helping patients breathe on a ventilator after a failed attempt to come off the machine. It looks at how the diaphragm and rib muscles work during each method to find the best approach for weaning.
This study looks at people who have a tracheostomy and have been on a breathing machine for at least two weeks. Researchers want to see if certain lung measurements can help predict how easy or hard it will be to come off the ventilator.
This study looks at how children breathe while on a breathing machine (ventilator) to help doctors adjust the machine better. It may help improve comfort and weaning off the ventilator.
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.
