One hour of breathing support after a breathing test
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a mask to give extra breathing support for one hour after a breathing test helps patients who have been on a breathing tube for more than 3 days. The goal is to see if it reduces the chance of needing the breathing tube again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You have been on a breathing tube for more than 3 days
- You have passed a test to see if you can breathe on your own and are ready to have the tube removed

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving one hour of positive pressure ventilation (a breathing tube with a machine that helps push air into the lungs) after a successful spontaneous breathing trial (when a patient breathes on own without help) can lower the risk of needing a breathing tube again after extubation (tube removal).
This trial tests whether giving noninvasive breathing support (using a mask or similar device, without a new breathing tube) right after removing a breathing tube works better for severely obese adults. It mainly looks at people at higher risk of needing help breathing again after extubation.
This trial studies a decision-support tool that helps ICU teams decide when it’s safe to try removing (extubating) a breathing tube. It may help reduce delays or avoidable re-intubation by guiding the timing of a low-support breathing trial (SBT).
This study is testing a new way to measure how strong your cough is—using a simple device—to help doctors know when you're ready to be taken off the breathing machine. If you're in the ICU and have been on a ventilator for more than a day, this trial might help make your breathing tube removal safer.
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 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.
