Clinical Trial: Detecting Early Weaning-induced Pulmonary Oedema Using Lung Impedance Negative Trend During SBT

U.S., Oct. 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07886671) titled 'Detecting Early Weaning-induced Pulmonary Oedema Using Lung Impedance Negative Trend During SBT' on Oct. 14.

Brief Summary: Critically ill patients who require a breathing machine are routinely assessed with a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) to determine if they can safely breathe on their own. If the trial fails, the breathing machine must be continued. One common cause is weaning-induced pulmonary oedema (WIPO), in which the heart cannot handle the increased workload during spontaneous breathing, causing fluid to accumulate in the lungs. Although several markers can suggest WIPO, it is often diagnosed after the SBT has already f...
