New study aims to predict breathing tube removal success
NCT ID NCT07577453
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 150 adults having planned surgery to see if combining three monitoring checks—breathing pattern, muscle strength, and brain activity—can better predict when it's safe to remove the breathing tube. Doctors will record these checks before removing the tube and watch for any breathing problems for 30 minutes after. The goal is to find a more accurate way to avoid complications after anesthesia.

Who is studied
Adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and planned extubation in the operating room will be prospectively enrolled. Patients will be included if pre-extubation RSBI, TOF ratio, and BIS measurements can be obtained and if they provide written informed consent.
