Predicting breathing tube need after major surgery recovery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had major surgery (abdominal, vascular, orthopedic, or head/neck) and are now in the intensive care unit
- Your breathing tube was removed before leaving the operating room
- You do not have a tracheostomy or a significant nerve/muscle disease
- You are stable enough for measurements in the first 2 hours after ICU arrival

This study tests whether combining three monitoring tools can help doctors predict if it's safe to remove your breathing tube after surgery. The tools measure your breathing effort, muscle strength, and depth of anesthesia, which may help reduce breathing problems after extubation.
This study tests a new way to predict breathing problems soon after surgery by looking at ventilator waveforms. If successful, it could help doctors spot issues earlier and provide better care.
This study looks at patients in the ICU who have been on a breathing machine. It tests whether a simple ultrasound along with a standard test can help predict if the patient will breathe well after the tube is removed, potentially preventing complications.
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 whether ultrasound scans and simple body measurements can help doctors predict when placing a breathing tube during surgery might be difficult. If successful, it could help doctors plan safer anesthesia care.
This study uses ultrasound to check if patients are ready to have their breathing tube removed. It aims to help doctors decide the best time for removal, which could reduce complications.
