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.
