New imaging technique may predict breathing tube success in brain injury patients
NCT ID NCT07067671
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how air moves in the lungs of brain-injured patients when doctors are removing their breathing tube. Using a special imaging belt (electrical impedance tomography), researchers will track changes in lung ventilation patterns. The goal is to find patterns that predict whether the patient will breathe well on their own after the tube is removed. About 60 adults in intensive care will take part.
