Testing a Cough Test to Guide Breathing Tube Removal
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the ICU and have been on a breathing machine for more than 24 hours
- You have passed a breathing test where you breathed on your own with little help from the machine
- You do not have a tracheostomy or your breathing tube did not come out by accident
- Your doctors have not decided to stop life support, and you do not have a severe nerve or muscle disease

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.
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 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 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.
This trial tests a new way to measure cough strength in patients who have a tracheostomy tube. The goal is to see if this measurement helps doctors and therapists plan better care for weaning and recovery.
This trial uses ultrasound to check if patients on a breathing machine are ready to have the tube removed. It may help doctors decide the safest time to try stopping the breathing machine.
