Brain waves may predict ventilator weaning success
NCT ID NCT03372252
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring tiny brain signals during a breathing test can help predict if a patient on a ventilator will successfully breathe on their own. Researchers monitored 70 intubated adults as they tried breathing without the machine. The goal is to find a simple, noninvasive way to reduce weaning failures and improve outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: * All intubated-ventilated patients eligible for an artificial nose breathing test in spontaneous ventilation, according to the physician in charge, and to the protocol of the medical resuscitation service and good clinical practice, * at least 18 years of age; * intubated-ventilated for at least 24 hours; * express consent given by patients or "relatives" after clear and fair information on the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients are secondarily excluded from the study only if EEG or pressure monitoring are uninterpretable.
