Timing of Breathing Trials for Patients on Ventilators

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates how the timing of Spontaneous Breathing Trials (SBTs) influences recovery in adult patients on mechanical ventilation in the ICU. It compares outcomes between patients who undergo SBTs early in the morning versus those who have them later in the morning. The goal is to determine the optimal timing for these trials to minimize the duration of mechanical ventilation and improve overall recovery metrics, including ICU stay and hospital discharge times.

Why it matters
