Predicting tracheostomy tube removal using a wearable device
This study tests whether a wearable device can help predict when a person with a tracheostomy can safely have the tube removed. If you are between 18 and 90, have a stable tracheostomy, and are not on a ventilator, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether using a speaking valve can improve breathing and communication for patients who have a tracheostomy tube but are not on a ventilator. It uses wearable devices to monitor your body's responses.
This study looks at how your breathing changes after removing a tracheostomy tube, using a valve and simple breathing tests. It may help doctors better plan your recovery.
This trial studies the process of removing a tracheostomy tube from critically ill patients who are ready. It focuses on making sure patients can breathe on their own and swallow safely before the tube is taken out.
This study tests if measuring cough strength can help decide when a tracheostomy tube can be safely removed. It may help patients who have had the tube for at least two weeks and are breathing on their own.
This trial uses a non-invasive monitoring device to see if it can help predict when patients can safely have their breathing tube removed after upper abdominal surgery. The goal is to improve the success of coming off the ventilator.
