One hour of breathing help after a success trial of breathing on own
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- 18 years old or older.
- In the intensive care unit (ICU).
- Has a breathing tube (endotracheal tube).
- On a breathing machine for more than 72 hours.
- Able to breathe on their own for a trial and doctors think they can safely have the tube removed.

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.
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 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 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 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 tests if a new method (PPI) can better predict when a patient is ready to have their breathing tube removed after a trial of spontaneous breathing.
