Ultrasound may help doctors decide when to remove breathing tubes
NCT ID NCT06321848
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether ultrasound scans of the heart, lungs, and diaphragm can predict if a surgical ICU patient will successfully come off a ventilator. Researchers will collect ultrasound images and clinical data from 190 adults who have been on a ventilator for at least 48 hours. The goal is to build a model that combines these ultrasound signs to improve weaning decisions and reduce failed extubation.
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 give doctors a simple, bedside tool to better decide when to remove a ventilator, potentially reducing complications and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The model may not be accurate enough for routine use, and results may not apply to all ICU patients.
