Breathing tube removal study for brain injury patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are in the intensive care unit for a serious brain injury.
- You have been on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours.
- Your doctors plan to remove your breathing tube in the next few days.
- You have social security coverage.

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 the best way to help people with a recent brain injury come off a breathing machine (ventilator). It aims to improve the weaning process and reduce time on the ventilator.
This study looks at how doctors can safely remove the breathing tube (extubation) in children who need a ventilator. It tests a specific method of observing how well a child breathes on their own before removing the tube. This could help doctors decide the best time to try extubation.
This study looks at patients who are ready to have their breathing tube removed and checks how to predict who might struggle after extubation. It’s observational, meaning your care won’t be changed—researchers are gathering information to improve future predictions.
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 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.
