Swallowing test to predict breathing tube removal success
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial checks if a swallowing test before removing a breathing tube can predict who will need the tube back. It might help doctors decide safer extubation for ICU patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours.
- You have passed a trial of breathing on your own (spontaneous breathing trial).
- You can have a swallowing test at the bedside before the tube is removed.
- You or your legal representative must agree in writing.

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 is testing a new way to measure how strong your cough is—using a simple device—to help doctors know when you're ready to be taken off the breathing machine. If you're in the ICU and have been on a ventilator for more than a day, this trial might help make your breathing tube removal safer.
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 checks if a quick physical therapy exam can predict whether a person will need the breathing machine again after it is removed. It is for adults who have been on a ventilator for more than two days and have already shown they can breathe on their own for a short time.
This study tests three measurements taken before removing your breathing tube after surgery to predict whether your lungs are ready to work on their own. The goal is to help doctors safely decide when to extubate (remove the tube) in the operating room.
This study watches patients after major surgery to see which factors may increase the chance of needing a breathing tube again. It helps doctors better predict and prevent breathing problems in the intensive care unit.
