Heart rate variability and breathing trial success in ventilated patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether heart rate patterns can help predict if a person on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own. It may help doctors decide the best time to try removing the breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have been on a breathing machine for more than 24 hours and your doctor says you may be ready to try breathing on your own.
- You have a stable heart rhythm before the breathing trial starts.
- You or your family agree to take part and you can be followed up for 72 hours after the breathing tube is removed.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other heart device that could affect the readings.
- You are not on strong sedation that keeps you from waking up, and you do not have severe heart rhythm problems.

This study looks at whether monitoring heart and breathing signals can help predict how well COPD patients on a breathing machine will recover. It aims to find better ways to guide treatment and improve outcomes.
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 trial measures how your breathing muscles work while we try taking you off the breathing machine. The results could help doctors predict when you're ready to breathe on your own.
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.
This study uses data from your hospital records to see if a machine learning tool can predict whether a patient will succeed when doctors try to remove their breathing tube during a test of their own breathing.
This study compares two methods of measuring whether patients with COPD who are on breathing machines are ready to breathe on their own. The goal is to find the best way to predict which patients can successfully come off the ventilator.
