How breathing tubes are removed in intensive care
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how healthcare professionals in intensive care units decide when to remove breathing tubes (extubation). By understanding current practices, the study aims to improve patient care and safety during this important step.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study watches how patients do after a breathing tube is removed (extubation) in the operating room, ICU, or other anesthesia areas. It aims to learn about complications and improve care.
This study looks at patients who are ready to have their breathing tube removed and checks how to predict who might struggle after extubation. It’s observational, meaning your care won’t be changed—researchers are gathering information to improve future predictions.
This study compares different methods of suctioning the breathing tube during extubation (removal of the tube) in patients who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. It aims to find the best way to clear the airway while taking the tube out.
This study looks at how to judge when it is safe to remove the breathing tube in people in the ICU after a brain injury. It may help improve timing and safety of extubation, when supported by a breathing trial and clinical stability.
This study looks at how doctors safely remove breathing tubes from patients with lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find ways to improve decisions about when to take the tube out.
This study observes how doctors remove breathing machines from patients in intensive care units (ICUs) in developing countries. It aims to learn more about the best ways to help patients breathe on their own again.
