Endotracheal suction during extubation in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares different methods of suctioning the breathing tube during extubation (removal of the tube) in patients who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. It aims to find the best way to clear the airway while taking the tube out.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You have been on a breathing tube for more than 48 hours.

- You do not have any restrictions that prevent your head from being elevated more than 30 degrees.
- You are not pregnant or breast-feeding.
- You are not under legal protection (like guardianship) or in prison.

This study is for patients who have low oxygen levels after a breathing tube is removed. It tests whether certain oxygen methods can help keep your oxygen levels safe after the tube comes out.
This study watches how patients do after a breathing tube is removed (extubation) in the operating room, ICU, or other anesthesia areas. It aims to learn about complications and improve care.
This study asks healthcare professionals about their experiences and practices when removing patients from mechanical ventilation (breathing machines) in intensive care units. Your insights help improve how doctors and nurses safely manage this critical care procedure.
This study compares how well patients recover from the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery, depending on whether it happens during the day or at night. The goal is to see if there are more breathing complications at night so hospitals can improve care.
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) in patients who are ready to breathe on their own: taking the tube out right away, or doing a trial of breathing without the machine first. It is for people who are at low risk of needing the tube put back in.
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.
