NCT ID NCT03140267
First seen May 21, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 22 ICU patients who had trouble being taken off a breathing machine (ventilator). The goal was to measure two things about their breathing muscles: strength and endurance. By tracking these over time, researchers hope to understand which problem is more important, so future breathing exercises can be designed to help patients wean off the ventilator faster.
