Can heart health predict ventilator weaning success?

NCT ID NCT05226247

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether the heart's pumping ability plays a role in why some patients fail to come off a mechanical ventilator. Researchers will use ultrasound to check heart and lung function before and during a breathing test in 250 intensive care patients. The goal is to better understand and predict weaning failure caused by fluid buildup in the lungs.

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 predict which patients will struggle to come off a ventilator, potentially reducing complications and time in intensive care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve outcomes, and results may not apply to all ventilator patients.
