Heart ultrasound to predict breathing tube removal success in ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a heart ultrasound to see if it can help doctors predict when patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. It may help avoid failed extubations and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- Your doctors have decided you meet the standard criteria to try removing the breathing tube
- Your heart is stable at the time of the ultrasound
- You or your legal representative agree to participate

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to check how well the right side of your heart is working. The goal is to see if that can help predict whether you will successfully come off the breathing machine.
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.
This study uses a special ultrasound of the heart to help predict whether you might fail a trial of breathing on your own after being on a breathing machine. If the test can predict trouble early, clinicians may choose safer weaning plans.
This trial tests if using ultrasound to monitor your heart during a breathing test can help predict if you will need the breathing tube again. It is for people on a ventilator for at least 24 hours who are at higher risk of needing the tube reinserted.
This study looks at patients in the ICU who have been on a breathing machine. It tests whether a simple ultrasound along with a standard test can help predict if the patient will breathe well after the tube is removed, potentially preventing complications.
This study uses ultrasound (sound waves) to look at the muscles you use to breathe while you are coming off a breathing machine in the ICU. The goal is to see if ultrasound can help predict how well you will do when the machine is removed.
