New score could prevent dangerous breathing tube failures in ICU patients
NCT ID NCT07098611
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a new scoring system called REXs to better predict when patients on breathing machines in the ICU are ready to breathe on their own. The researchers will test this score in 470 patients to see if it can reduce the number of patients who need to be put back on the machine within 48 hours. The goal is to make extubation safer and more successful.
