This is a research study at Samsung Medical Center that carefully observes how doctors help patients come off mechanical ventilation—the breathing machines used in intensive care. The study tracks the process doctors use to decide when patients are ready, what tests they do, and how successful the removal of the breathing tube is. Researchers want to understand what makes the process work well and what factors affect how long patients need the machine.
Knowing when and how to safely remove a patient from a breathing machine is one of the most important decisions in intensive care, but doctors don't always use the same approach. This study aims to describe what actually happens in practice and identify the best ways to help patients breathe on their own again as quickly and safely as possible.

If you are included in this study, doctors and respiratory therapists will assess you each morning to see if you might be ready to breathe without the machine. They will check your overall condition and run a short breathing trial where you breathe on your own (or with minimal machine support) for 30 minutes to 2 hours to see if you can manage. The study team will track this process and your outcomes, but you will not receive any new medication or experimental treatment—they are simply observing and documenting the standard care you receive.
