Breathing monitor to predict successful breathing tube removal after abdominal surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive breathing monitor to help doctors decide when it's safe to remove the breathing tube after upper abdominal surgery. It aims to reduce complications by predicting who will breathe well on their own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had planned (not emergency) upper abdominal surgery and are on a breathing machine.
- Your medical team has already started reducing breathing support to prepare for removing the tube.
- You do not have a tracheostomy (a tube in your neck to help you breathe).
- You do not have a pacemaker or defibrillator, and you don't have burns on your chest where the monitor would be placed.
- You are not receiving end-of-life care.

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 a special carbon dioxide monitor to help decide when it's safe to remove your breathing tube after abdominal surgery. If you are having a planned abdominal procedure lasting 1–4 hours, you may be able to join.
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 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 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.
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.
