ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how measuring certain biomarkers (substances in the body that can indicate health conditions) during a specific test called a Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) can help predict whether patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) will be able to successfully breathe without a ventilator after being on mechanical ventilation. The goal is to improve patient care by identifying those who might struggle to breathe on their own, allowing for better planning and treatment.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. They should also meet specific criteria that suggest they are ready to try breathing on their own again. Participants will undergo biomarker testing during the SBT and will need to provide consent, either personally or through a legal representative. It’s important to note that patients with certain complications or serious illnesses may not be eligible. Overall, this study aims to enhance the safety and effectiveness of weaning patients off mechanical ventilation in the ICU.
