Comparing two breathing trial methods for ICU patients on ventilators
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to help patients breathe on their own during a spontaneous breathing trial (a test to see if they can come off the ventilator). It aims to find which method works better for adults in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the best time to do a breathing trial for patients on a ventilator. It helps doctors decide when to start testing if you can breathe on your own so you can come off the ventilator sooner.
This trial measures how your breathing muscles work while we try taking you off the breathing machine. The results could help doctors predict when you're ready to breathe on your own.
This study compares two ways of testing if overweight or obese patients can breathe on their own after being on a ventilator. You will be randomly assigned to one of two breathing trials (pressure support or a T-piece) to see which works better for helping you get off the ventilator.
This study tests a simple breathing strength measurement to help doctors decide when patients in the ICU are ready to come off the breathing machine. It aims to make that decision safer and more accurate.
This study compares two ways of timing a breathing mask's support to match your own breaths. If you're in the ICU or ER and need help breathing for at least 2 more hours, this trial may test which method works better.
This study tests if a new method (PPI) can better predict when a patient is ready to have their breathing tube removed after a trial of spontaneous breathing.
