Diaphragm movement test to predict ventilator weaning success
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial checks if the way your diaphragm moves can help doctors know when you're ready to come off a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation). It focuses on patients who have been on the machine for more than 72 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) and have been on a breathing machine for more than 3 days
- You do not have organ failure that cannot be reversed
- You do not have advanced cancer

This trial compares two bedside methods (ultrasound of the diaphragm and a quick breathing test) to see which better predicts if a patient on a breathing machine can safely breathe on their own. It is for adults in the ICU who are ready to try weaning from the ventilator.
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at how your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves while you try breathing on your own. It may help doctors better understand when patients are ready to come off the breathing machine.
This study looks at whether testing the strength and function of your breathing muscles (diaphragm and chest wall muscles) can predict whether you're ready to come off a ventilator (breathing machine). The goal is to help doctors make better decisions about when patients are ready to breathe on their own.
This study uses an ultrasound measure of how your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) moves in coordination as a way to predict whether you can successfully come off the breathing machine. If you are ready to try breathing on your own with a support mode, the test may help doctors know when you are truly ready to be free of the ventilator.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the movement of your chest wall muscles and diaphragm to see if it can predict whether you can safely come off the breathing machine (ventilator). The goal is to find a better way to know when you are ready to breathe on your own.
