New study tests if ventilator energy measurements can predict breathing tube removal success
NCT ID NCT07268989
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 60 adult ICU patients on breathing machines to see if a measure called mechanical power (the energy delivered to the lungs) can predict whether they will successfully breathe on their own after the tube is removed. Researchers also checked other breathing tests like airway pressure and breathing rate. The goal is to find better ways to decide when it's safe to take someone off a ventilator, reducing the risk of needing to put the tube back in.

Who is studied
Adult patients who are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) and are scheduled for planned extubation based on standard clinical weaning criteria. All participants must be hemodynamically stable and able to undergo bedside ventilator-based respiratory assessment, including mechanical power (MP), airway occlusion pressure (P0.1), negative inspiratory force (NIF), and the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), prior to extubation.

Inclusion Criteria: \- Age ≥ 18 years (adult patient population) * Patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit * Having been intubated for at least 24 hours * Patients for whom the clinical team has decided extubation and who meet the following weaning criteria: * Stable respiratory parameters (FiO₂ ≤ 50%, PEEP ≤ 7 cmH₂O, SpO₂ ≥ 92%) * Hemodynamic stability (no inotropic support or minimal/stable dose) * Stable acid-base balance * Adequate secretion control * Technically suitable ventilator and measurement conditions * Written informed consent obtained from the patient or legal representative Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with any of the following conditions will be excluded: and * Individuals under 18 years of age * Pregnant patients * Patients who do not meet the weaning criteria * Tracheostomized patients * Neuromuscular diseases (e.g., Guillain-Barré syndrome, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, etc.) * Technical inadequacy preventing correct ventilator measurements * Significant asynchrony (e.g., auto-PEEP, double triggering, ineffective triggering, cycle asynchrony, auto-triggering) * Patients without an extubation plan or those receiving palliative care * RASS ≤ -2 (excessive sedation) for PSV mode measurements * RASS ≥ +2 (agitation) for PSV-CPAP mode measurements * Patients with delirium for PSV-CPAP mode measurements * Patients who cannot provide consent, have no legal representative, or whose representative refuses consent
