New tool to predict readiness for breathing tube removal
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new scoring tool to help doctors decide when a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed safely. It is for patients who are currently in the process of being weaned off the ventilator.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your loved one is on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit and doctors are starting to try removing it.
- You do not have a tracheostomy (a breathing tube placed through a hole in the neck).
- You are not currently enrolled in any other research study.
- You do not have a device implanted to help the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) work.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have a legal guardian or family member who can give permission for the study.

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 tests three measurements taken before removing your breathing tube after surgery to predict whether your lungs are ready to work on their own. The goal is to help doctors safely decide when to extubate (remove the tube) in the operating room.
This study compares two ways of measuring a breathing test (the Rapid Shallow Breathing Index) to decide if you are ready to have your breathing tube removed. Both methods are done at the bedside with a device, and the goal is to see which one better predicts success.
This study looks at how well a tool (VVI) can predict if patients on a breathing machine are ready to start breathing on their own. It may help doctors decide the best time to begin the weaning process.
This study looks at how well current breathing measures predict a patient's readiness to have their breathing tube removed in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to make the decision to remove the tube safer and more accurate.
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.
