This study, called TEACH, is looking at ways to improve care for patients on breathing machines (mechanical ventilators). It compares two approaches: the usual way hospitals provide feedback to staff, and a new approach that adds telehealth-enabled support. The telehealth support helps identify patients who can try to breathe on their own and guides staff through these trials. The study wants to see if this new approach helps more patients successfully complete these breathing trials and improves their overall recovery, measured by how many days they are free from the ventilator. You may be able to join if you are 16 or older, admitted to a study hospital ICU, and are on a breathing machine. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 13,400 participants.

Study design

This study is an interventional trial comparing two different methods of supporting healthcare providers. It is a cluster-randomized trial, meaning groups of patients will receive one of the two approaches.
