Breath test may predict ventilator success in ICU patients
NCT ID NCT05802745
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 120 critically ill patients on breathing machines to see if a quick, non-invasive test called P0.1 could predict whether they would need the tube reinserted after removal. The test measures the effort to breathe in the first split second of inhalation. Researchers hope this could help doctors make safer decisions about removing breathing support.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: \- All patients aged 18 years or older who received mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours and satisfied the weaning criteria will be eligible for enrollment. The readiness-to-wean criteria that will be employed are: (1) the resolution or improvement of the underlying cause of respiratory failure for which the patient was intubated; (2) hemodynamic stability, defined as heart rate (HR) \< 140/min and systolic blood pressure between 90 and 160 mmHg with no or minimal doses of vasopressors; (3) stable respiratory status, defined as oxygen saturation \> 90% with fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ≤ 0.5 and positive end expiratory-pressure (PEEP) ≤8 cmH2O, respiratory rate (RR) ≤ 35/min, spontaneous tidal volume (Vt) \> 5 mL/kg, and no significant respiratory acidosis; (4) adequate mental status, and (5) adequate cough. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of tracheostomy * Do-not-reintubate orders * pregnancy * Absence of informed consent * Spontaneous breathing trial failure.
