Hypnosis to help breathing tube removal
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help patients who are on a ventilator (breathing machine) feel calmer and breathe better when the tube is removed. It may reduce anxiety and improve the chance of a smooth recovery after critical illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and currently in the intensive care unit (ICU) on a breathing machine.
- Your doctor has decided you are ready to try breathing without the machine and you meet safety criteria (stable heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels).
- You have been on the ventilator for at least 48 hours.
- You are able to communicate in French and do not have severe hearing problems.
- You are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and if you can have children, you use effective birth control.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using a positive pressure ventilation mask for one hour after removing the breathing tube helps patients who have been on a ventilator for a long time adjust better to breathing on their own. If you are in the ICU and about to come off the breathing machine, this extra support might help you recover more smoothly.
This study tests a non-drug technique to help patients in intensive care who are having difficulty breathing on their own after being on a ventilator. It may help reduce shortness of breath and improve the weaning process.
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help people in the ICU who need noninvasive breathing support (breathing help without a tube) for breathing flare-ups related to COPD and/or obesity. It aims to make this treatment easier and safer while you are awake.
This study looks at how often obese patients have trouble breathing when doctors try to remove the breathing tube (weaning) in the ICU. The goal is to understand what causes this and how it affects recovery.
This study tests whether using warm, moist oxygen at a high flow rate during the breathing tube removal test can make breathing easier for patients who are at risk of having trouble after the tube is removed. It may help reduce the effort needed to breathe and improve the chances of successful removal.
This study tests whether a special monitor can help doctors know when it's safe to take a breathing tube out after surgery in the ICU. The monitor looks at pain signals, and the goal is to make the process of breathing on your own again more comfortable.
