Breathing vest vs. standard mask after tube removal
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special breathing vest (Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation) compared to standard non-invasive ventilation for patients who are at high risk of needing breathing help after a breathing tube is removed. It aims to see if the vest can help prevent breathing problems.

This trial tests whether giving noninvasive breathing support (using a mask or similar device, without a new breathing tube) right after removing a breathing tube works better for severely obese adults. It mainly looks at people at higher risk of needing help breathing again after extubation.
This study compares two types of breathing support—a high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive ventilation—to see which one better prevents the need for re-inserting a breathing tube in people with systolic heart failure who are at high risk for breathing problems after the tube is removed.
This study looks at why some children in the pediatric ICU have trouble coming off the breathing machine (ventilator). If your child is ready to try stopping the ventilator, this trial will help doctors understand what may make that transition safer.
This study looks at how your lungs work during the process of removing a breathing tube, for people who have had a serious brain injury and are in intensive care. The goal is to make the removal process safer and more comfortable.
This study looks at whether a special chest “vest” and related lung measurements can improve breathing in people with sudden severe lung failure who need a breathing machine. You may be eligible if you have ARDS and can safely use the vest during mechanical ventilation.
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.
