New breathing test to predict when ICU patients can breathe on their own
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a simple breathing strength measurement to help doctors decide when patients in the ICU are ready to come off the breathing machine. It aims to make that decision safer and more accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older) in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 24 hours.
- You successfully completed a 'breathing trial' - a test where you try to breathe on your own for a short time.
- You do not have a tracheostomy (a tube in your throat) or a condition that requires one, such as severe face or jaw injury or upper airway blockage.
- Your breathing tube did not come out on its own or get accidentally pulled out.
- You do not have a severe nerve or muscle disease that affects breathing, and you are not planning to stop life-sustaining treatments.

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 trial measures how your breathing muscles work while we try taking you off the breathing machine. The results could help doctors predict when you're ready to breathe on your 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 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 compares two ways to help patients breathe on their own during a spontaneous breathing trial (a test to see if they can come off the ventilator). It aims to find which method works better for adults in the ICU.
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.
