Alert system for endotracheal tube position issues in ICU
This trial tests a new alert system to monitor the position of breathing tubes in intensive care patients. The goal is to quickly detect if the tube moves out of place, which could improve safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).

This study is for people who are on a breathing machine and will be for at least another day. It checks the pressure in the tube in your windpipe to help prevent problems.
This trial tests if an AI program can help doctors quickly spot problems with breathing tubes, feeding tubes, or collapsed lungs on chest X-rays. It may help patients in emergency or intensive care who need these tubes or are on a ventilator.
This study tests whether changing how alarms are managed in the ICU can make the environment quieter and safer for patients. If you are an adult patient in this ICU, you may be able to join to help improve care.
This trial tests a system that gives ICU staff an early alert when a patient's condition might get worse. If you are already in the ICU, the study uses your medical data to see if the alert can help catch problems sooner.
This study tests whether using a handheld ultrasound device (a small machine that uses sound waves to see inside the body) placed on the neck or chest is better at confirming that a breathing tube is correctly positioned in the windpipe than the usual methods. It is for adults in the intensive care unit who need a breathing tube to keep their airway safe.
This study looks at how well current breathing measures predict a patient's readiness to have their breathing tube removed in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to make the decision to remove the tube safer and more accurate.
