Ultrasound to predict breathing tube removal success
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check if patients are ready to have their breathing tube removed. It aims to help doctors decide the best time for removal, which could reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation).
- Your doctor believes the reason you needed the breathing tube is improving or resolved.
- You meet standard readiness checks, like being alert and having stable oxygen and blood pressure.
- You are 21 years of age or older.
- You do not have a tracheostomy, certain spinal cord injuries, heart rhythm problems, or severe chronic lung disease.
- You have not failed a previous breathing tube removal attempt.

This study uses ultrasound to measure how well your breathing muscles work before removing the breathing tube. It aims to see if this test can help doctors know when you are ready to breathe on your own.
This study looks at patients in the ICU who have been on a breathing machine. It tests whether a simple ultrasound along with a standard test can help predict if the patient will breathe well after the tube is removed, potentially preventing complications.
This study compares two ways to check if a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed. It uses an ultrasound to look at the diaphragm muscle, which helps doctors decide when it's safe to take the tube out.
This study uses ultrasound to check fluid buildup in the body, which may help doctors decide when it's safe to remove a breathing tube. It could help patients who have been on a ventilator for more than two days.
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 trial studies a decision-support tool that helps ICU teams decide when it’s safe to try removing (extubating) a breathing tube. It may help reduce delays or avoidable re-intubation by guiding the timing of a low-support breathing trial (SBT).
