Kidney trouble may keep ICU patients on ventilators longer
NCT ID NCT07477652
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how acute kidney injury (AKI) impacts the process of removing a breathing tube (weaning) in critically ill adults in the ICU. Researchers will track 85 patients to see if AKI makes weaning harder, slower, or more risky. The goal is to learn whether kidney problems are a key factor in weaning success or failure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * • Age ≥ 18 years of either sex. * Admission to the ICU and receiving invasive mechanical ventilation via endotracheal tube. * Expected duration of mechanical ventilation ≥ 24 hours. * Hemodynamically stable or stabilized at the time of first spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) according to unit protocol (e.g., mean arterial pressure ≥ 65 mmHg with or without low dose vasopressors). * Availability of baseline and daily serum creatinine, urine output, and relevant clinical data to diagnose and stage acute kidney injury according to KDIGO criteria. Exclusion Criteria: * Pre existing end stage renal disease on chronic dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis). * Known advanced chronic kidney disease (e.g., baseline estimated GFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m²) if baseline creatinine is available. * Previous tracheostomy before current ICU admission. * Neuromuscular diseases or spinal cord injury causing chronic ventilatory dependence. * Severe pre existing cognitive impairment or brain death at ICU admission. * Do not intubate or comfort care only orders at time of eligibility assessment. * Re intubation after ICU discharge (only the first ICU admission episode will be considered). * Patients or legal representatives refusing or withdrawing consent
