New study aims to predict which ICU patients need breathing tubes again

NCT ID NCT07672106

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study observes 600 adult patients after major surgery to see if simple bedside tests—like ultrasound of breathing muscles and a breathing score—can predict who will need a breathing tube again. No new treatments are given; doctors make all decisions as usual. The goal is to find better ways to spot high-risk patients early.

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 help doctors better predict which patients might need to be put back on a breathing tube after surgery, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it only looks for patterns—it does not test a treatment. The findings may not lead to a clear prediction tool or change clinical practice.
