Predicting breathing tube removal with ultrasound
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound to check if patients on a breathing machine are ready to have the tube removed. It may help doctors decide the safest time to try stopping the breathing machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on a breathing machine (ventilator).
- Your doctor must feel the reason you needed the machine has improved.
- You must show signs that you may be ready to come off the machine, like being awake and having good oxygen levels.
- You must be 21 years old or older.
- You cannot have a tracheostomy (tube in your throat).
- You cannot have certain other conditions like heart rhythm problems or severe lung disease.

This trial uses ultrasound to measure fluid buildup in the body as a way to predict if a patient will succeed when their breathing tube is removed. It aims to help doctors decide the best time for removal.
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 three measurements taken before removing your breathing tube after surgery to predict whether your lungs are ready to work on their own. The goal is to help doctors safely decide when to extubate (remove the tube) in the operating room.
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).
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 uses an ultrasound measure of how your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) moves in coordination as a way to predict whether you can successfully come off the breathing machine. If you are ready to try breathing on your own with a support mode, the test may help doctors know when you are truly ready to be free of the ventilator.
