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.

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

This study looks at whether lung and heart ultrasound can help predict if a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) will successfully come off a breathing machine (ventilator). It follows 100 adults who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours and are ready for a weaning trial. Researchers will compare ultrasound images and blood markers between patients who need to go back on the ventilator and those who breathe independently.

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 ultrasound patterns predict weaning success, doctors could better decide when to remove breathing support, reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all ICU patients.
