Heart scan could predict breathing tube removal success
NCT ID NCT07075926
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple heart ultrasound can help doctors know when it's safe to remove a breathing tube from ICU patients. Researchers will measure heart function in 50 adults just before planned tube removal and then check if they can breathe on their own for 24 hours. The goal is to find a better way to predict success and avoid complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a simple, non-invasive tool to better decide when to remove breathing tubes, reducing complications and hospital stays.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 50 participants. The results may not apply to all ICU patients, and the ultrasound measurements might not reliably predict outcomes.
