Breathing muscle test to predict ventilator weaning success
This study checks if a simple ultrasound test of your diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) can help predict whether you will be able to breathe on your own after being on a ventilator. The results could help doctors decide the best time to try removing the breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) and on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 3 days.
- You do not have irreversible failure of multiple organs.
- You do not have advanced cancer.

This study compares two ways to check if a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed. It uses an ultrasound to look at the diaphragm muscle, which helps doctors decide when it's safe to take the tube out.
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 uses an ultrasound to measure how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves during a breathing test, to see if it can predict whether you will be able to breathe on your own without the ventilator. This could help doctors decide the best time to take you off the breathing machine.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the strength of your breathing muscles when the doctors are trying to take you off the breathing machine. Measuring how well your diaphragm and rib muscles work can help predict whether you'll be able to breathe on your own.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how well your breathing muscles work before removing the breathing tube. It aims to see if this test can help doctors know when you are ready to breathe on your own.
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.
