Testing a new way to predict breathing tube removal success
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new method, called Delta Pocc, that measures pressure changes in the lungs to help doctors decide when it's safe to remove the breathing tube. It aims to reduce the risk of needing the tube reinserted after it's removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 24 hours.
- Your medical team has decided you are ready to try breathing on your own (a spontaneous breathing trial).
- You are stable enough that the measurements can be done safely.
- You have no severe heart or lung problems that would make the test unsafe.
- You do not have a breathing tube air leak or other issues that would interfere with measurements.

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 tests if a new method (PPI) can better predict when a patient is ready to have their breathing tube removed after a trial of spontaneous breathing.
This study tests if simple breathing tests can predict whether a patient with a traumatic brain injury will successfully breathe on their own after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to make the removal process safer.
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.
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 is testing a simple way to measure how well you breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator in the ICU. It helps doctors decide the best time to safely remove the breathing tube.
