Study digs into medical records to uncover clues about delayed breathing tube removal
NCT ID NCT07658456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 204 patients who needed a breathing tube after surgery in the intensive care unit. Researchers reviewed existing medical records to find factors linked to delayed removal of the tube. The goal is to better understand why some patients take longer to breathe on their own, which could help improve care in the future.
