NCT ID NCT00213499

First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looked at whether using a noninvasive ventilation mask (NIV) can help patients with long-term breathing problems get off a breathing tube more easily. 205 adults who had been on a ventilator for at least 48 hours and had trouble breathing on their own were randomly assigned to one of three weaning methods. The goal was to see if NIV reduces complications and shortens the time spent on breathing support.
