Tracking jaw movements to guide breathing tube removal in ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the ICU because your lungs suddenly failed (acute respiratory failure)
- You have been on a breathing machine for more than 24 hours
- You are awake and not receiving continuous sedation medicines
- You have at least one of these: age over 65, or heart problems like weak pumping or irregular rhythm, or lung conditions like COPD, stiff lungs, or obesity-related breathing trouble

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 measures electrical activity of the diaphragm and how your breathing system works while you are on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand breathing during recovery after major lung events.
This study tests a special breathing therapy for intensive care patients who are having trouble coming off the ventilator. If you have weak muscles or a weak cough, the therapy aims to strengthen your breathing so you can recover faster.
This trial tests a non-drug breathing technique to help people who are having trouble coming off the breathing machine in the ICU. If you have needed a ventilator for more than a day and have already failed a breathing trial, this study may be for you.
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
