Can we predict who needs a breathing tube earlier in the ICU?
NCT ID NCT07315477
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at records of 200 ICU patients who needed a breathing tube to protect their airway. The goal is to find patterns that show which patients are more likely to need a tracheostomy (a tube placed directly into the windpipe). If we can identify these patients earlier, doctors might be able to perform the procedure sooner, which could improve recovery.
