Understanding factors related to weaning failure in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation

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

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the ventilatory settings and monitoring variables that are associated with weaning failure in critically ill patients who have been on mechanical ventilation. It focuses on patients who have undergone at least one extubation and one spontaneous breathing trial during their ICU stay. The study aims to identify the rates of weaning failure, particularly in the context of COVID-19, and to analyze the factors contributing to both successful and unsuccessful weaning attempts. By collecting and analyzing data from patients in the ICU, the study seeks to improve understanding of the weaning process and its challenges.

• Monitoring diaphragm electrical activity and breathing effort during ventilator weaning

  We will see if surface diaphragm EMG, esophageal pressure, and oxygen use measured during a spontaneous breathing trial can predict who will fail to wean from the ventilator in the ICU.
