How low phosphate affects breathing after ventilator use
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how low phosphate levels in the blood affect your ability to breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator. If you are already getting better and ready to start breathing without the machine, the results may help doctors understand and manage your recovery better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have acute respiratory failure and are on a breathing tube (ventilator).
- You have been on the ventilator for at least 48 hours.
- Your main illness has improved, and your doctor is planning to take you off the ventilator soon.
- You do not have a severe nerve or muscle disease, or a central nervous system condition.
- You have not been on muscle relaxant medications for more than 48 hours.

This trial tests whether adding phosphate granules to feeding tubes can help raise low phosphate levels in ICU patients who are already receiving nutrition through a feeding tube.
This trial tests a standard way for doctors to manage phosphate levels (a mineral in your blood) in intensive care patients. The goal is to see if a set protocol helps keep your phosphate levels healthy, which could support your overall recovery.
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 whether the amount of phosphate in your blood is linked to how long you need a breathing machine (ventilator) while in the intensive care unit (ICU) for sepsis, a severe infection. It may help doctors understand and manage your care better.
This study looks at how breathing and phosphate levels change in the first days of critical illness. It may help doctors understand and manage these changes better.
This study looks at how giving phosphate supplements affects a hormone called FGF23 in patients with low blood phosphate levels. It aims to help understand how the body responds to treatment.
