Monitoring health after tracheostomy tube removal
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study watches people when their tracheostomy tube is removed to see how it affects their body, like breathing and heart rate. You'll wear small sensors on your skin that track your health for a few days, and the information may help doctors know when it's safe to remove the tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You have a tracheostomy tube and it has been in place for at least 48 hours
- You are not on a breathing machine (ventilator)
- You are scheduled to have the tube removed (decannulation)
- You are able to wear small monitoring devices on your skin

This study uses a small wearable monitor to track your body's signals, like breathing and heart rate, to help doctors predict when it's safe to remove your tracheostomy tube. The goal is to make the decision to remove the tube more reliable and safer for you.
This study looks at how your breathing changes after removing a tracheostomy tube, using a valve and simple breathing tests. It may help doctors better plan your recovery.
This study compares two ways to prepare patients with a tracheostomy (a breathing tube in the neck) for having it removed. It tests whether a standard method or using a special valve (incremental dead space) works better for safe removal.
This study looks at how using a speaking valve (a one-way valve that lets you breathe in through the trach but out through your mouth) affects your heart rate, breathing, and other vital signs. It uses small wearable monitors to track these changes.
This trial studies the process of removing a tracheostomy tube from critically ill patients who are ready. It focuses on making sure patients can breathe on their own and swallow safely before the tube is taken out.
This study looks at how patients do after their tracheostomy tube is removed. It aims to understand the process and results for people who have had the tube taken out at the Swiss Paraplegic Center.
