Breathing tube removal success study
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if a new method (PPI) can better predict when a patient is ready to have their breathing tube removed after a trial of spontaneous breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been on a breathing machine for at least 2 days
- You are 18 years or older
- Your doctors plan to try removing the breathing tube after a test of breathing on your own
- You or your family have given permission to join 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 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 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.
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 trial studies a decision-support tool that helps ICU teams decide when it’s safe to try removing (extubating) a breathing tube. It may help reduce delays or avoidable re-intubation by guiding the timing of a low-support breathing trial (SBT).
