Bedside test for breathing tube patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a simple bedside test to evaluate patients who are on a breathing machine and not breathing on their own. It may help doctors better understand and manage acute respiratory failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) and not making any breathing efforts yourself.
- You must not have unstable blood pressure or heart function (hemodynamic instability).
- You must not have high pressure inside the skull (confirmed intracranial hypertension).

This study tests a new way to monitor breathing muscles in patients who need extra oxygen or breathing support, like a mask or high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors better understand how to treat respiratory failure.
This study tests whether watching jaw movements can help doctors know when patients are ready to breathe on their own after a breathing tube. It is for ICU patients who are awake and stable enough to start the weaning process.
This trial tests different types of noninvasive breathing support (like masks or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works best for patients with low oxygen levels. It may be helpful if you are in the hospital, need extra oxygen, and are not already on a breathing tube.
This study looks at how pressure readings from a breathing tube compare with whether non-invasive breathing support fails in people with sudden, severe low oxygen levels. It may help improve how clinicians spot who will need stronger breathing treatment sooner.
This trial is testing a simple breathing test at the bedside to help doctors understand lung damage in patients who are in intensive care with severe breathing problems. It might help guide treatment for patients with acute lung injury.
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.
