Timing of breathing tube removal after stroke may impact recovery
NCT ID NCT05847309
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 174 adults who had a stroke and were treated under general anesthesia. Researchers compared removing the breathing tube early versus later to see which approach leads to better functional recovery after 90 days. The goal is to find the best time to take patients off the ventilator to improve their outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult (age ≥ 18 years) * Acute ischemic stroke due to large intracranial vessel occlusion demonstrated on CT-angiography in the following anterior circulation locations (occlusion of the internal carotid artery and/or middle cerebral artery in segments M1, M2, M3) within 24 hours of symptom onset. * Patients admitted with a NIHSS neurological status ≥ 6. * Patients who received endovascular treatment under general anesthesia (intubated in the interventional radiology room) with satisfactory reperfusion (TICI 2b-2c-3). * Patients admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) with mechanical ventilation. * Written informed consent from the patient or proxy (if present) before inclusion or once possible when patient has been included in a context of emergency. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have not been intubated in the interventional radiology room. * Pregnancy * Patients who suffer bronchial aspiration prior to the endovascular procedure or during intubation. * Patients who underwent the procedure under local anesthesia and sedation. * Patients with functional neurological status, prior to the ischemic stroke, measured with the modified Rankin scale (mRS) of value: 3-6. * Patients with vascular involvement of the posterior cerebral circulation, or intracranial haemorrhage associated with stroke. * Patients who do not sign the informed consent by themselves or their relatives.
