Breathing support weaning in brain injury patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well patients with brain injuries breathe on their own when doctors remove the breathing machine. It may help doctors find better ways to support recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are in intensive care for a recent brain injury.
- You have been on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours.
- Your doctors plan to take you off the breathing machine in the next few days.
- You have health insurance coverage (not state medical aid).

This study looks at how to judge when it is safe to remove the breathing tube in people in the ICU after a brain injury. It may help improve timing and safety of extubation, when supported by a breathing trial and clinical stability.
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
This study looks at how different breathing machine settings affect people with new brain or spinal cord injuries who need help breathing. It only includes people with healthy lungs to see which ventilator settings work best.
This study looks at how a breathing machine setting (called PEEP) affects blood flow in the brain. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with a serious brain injury and is on a breathing machine, this trial could help doctors understand how to make breathing therapy safer for the brain.
This study looks at how often obese patients have trouble breathing when doctors try to remove the breathing tube (weaning) in the ICU. The goal is to understand what causes this and how it affects recovery.
This study tests if simple breathing tests can predict whether a patient with a traumatic brain injury will successfully breathe on their own after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to make the removal process safer.
