Ultrasound guide to help remove breathing tube
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check fluid buildup in the body, which may help doctors decide when it's safe to remove a breathing tube. It could help patients who have been on a ventilator for more than two days.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- You are in an intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 48 hours.
- Your doctor has already decided you are ready to start the weaning process (trying to breathe without the machine).

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 ultrasound to check if patients are ready to have their breathing tube removed. It aims to help doctors decide the best time for removal, which could reduce complications.
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 trial tests if using ultrasound to monitor your heart during a breathing test can help predict if you will need the breathing tube again. It is for people on a ventilator for at least 24 hours who are at higher risk of needing the tube reinserted.
This study uses a heart ultrasound to see if it can help doctors predict when patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. It may help avoid failed extubations and reduce complications.
