What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looked at 20 critically ill patients on breathing machines to see which method of removing the tube (T-tube or support ventilation) is better for their breathing muscles. Researchers used special sensors to measure muscle activity and fatigue during the process. The goal is to find a more reliable way to predict when a patient can breathe on their own.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose the best method to remove breathing tubes, reducing weaning failure rates.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study (20 participants) focused on measurement, not treatment. Results may not apply to all patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Patients will be intubated and ventilated mechanically for at least 24 hours, capable of starting the spontaneous breathing test based on the criteria recommended by the current Brazilian Recommendations on Mechanical Ventilation (Barbas, 2013), through a decision of the multiprofessional team. They should present adequate level of awareness to understand guidelines and age\> 18 years. \- Exclusion Criteria: Patients with psychomotor agitation will not be able to interpret the electromyographic data, requiring an inspired fraction of oxygen greater than 0.6, tracheostomized, peritoniostomies and thoracotomies that would not allow the electrodes to be positioned in the right pectoralis major muscle, laparotomies that would not allow the positioning of the Electrodes in the rectus abdominis muscle and those whose family members have not adhered to the informed consent form (Appendix A). \-
