Ultrasound muscle test to predict breathing tube removal success
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
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 for more than 48 hours.
- Your doctor has decided you are ready to try breathing on your own for the first time.
- You meet specific health criteria, such as good oxygen levels, stable blood pressure, and being awake and cooperative.
- You do not have certain conditions like pregnancy, chest injuries, or severe obesity.

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 trial uses ultrasound to measure how well your diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) thickens when you breathe in. The goal is to see if this measurement can help doctors decide the best time to remove the breathing tube safely.
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.
This study checks if a simple ultrasound test of your muscles can help doctors decide when you are ready to breathe without a breathing tube. The test is painless and may help make weaning safer.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the strength of your breathing muscles when the doctors are trying to take you off the breathing machine. Measuring how well your diaphragm and rib muscles work can help predict whether you'll be able to breathe on your own.
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.
