Ultrasound may make throat suctioning safer for ventilator patients
NCT ID NCT07496385
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide throat suctioning can reduce lung infections and injuries in ICU patients on breathing machines. About 321 adults expected to need a breathing tube for at least 72 hours will take part. The goal is to see if this imaging technique makes the procedure safer and more effective.
