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 study observes how your breathing effort changes as doctors try to remove you from the breathing machine (ventilator). It helps understand why some patients have trouble breathing on their own after being on the ventilator.
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 level 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. It may help doctors understand how to better manage your care.
This study tests a new approach to help patients with chronic heart, lung, or brain conditions come off breathing machines (ventilators) in the hospital. The goal is to use personalized information about each patient's condition to safely and successfully remove the breathing tube.
This study tests if careful management of the pressure in the breathing tube's cuff and regular cleaning below the vocal cords can help prevent lung infections in people who need a breathing machine for a long time. It might help if you're at risk for stomach contents or saliva going into your lungs.
