New index could help ventilator patients get off breathing machines sooner
NCT ID NCT07372664
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to confirm if a new measurement called the Volume-Velocity Index (VVI) can accurately predict when patients on mechanical ventilators are ready to breathe independently. Researchers will observe 100 adults who are already considered ready for weaning by their doctors. The goal is to reduce time on ventilators and improve patient outcomes.
