Recruiting studies
- NCT06675045Recruiting
High flow oxygen therapy and breathing patterns
This study looks at how breathing changes in patients with low blood oxygen levels who are treated with high-flow oxygen through a mask. It aims to understand which patients might need a breathing tube.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07189078Recruiting
Comparing intubation methods for patients with low blood oxygen
This study tests two different ways to place a breathing tube in patients who are in intensive care with very low oxygen levels and need help breathing. The goal is to find which method is safer and works better for patients like you.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06989385Recruiting
Studying breathing support failure in respiratory failure
This study looks at why some patients with acute respiratory failure do not improve with non-invasive breathing support like high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV). It aims to find patterns that might predict when these treatments are not enough.
ModenaAges 18 years+ - NCT04912960Recruiting
PEEP breathing support for adults with acute lung failure
This trial studies whether a specific breathing setting called PEEP can help adults whose lungs are failing and who need a breathing machine. Doctors will compare outcomes in patients who fit this critical illness pattern and are safe for the required positioning and ventilator settings.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Las PalmasAges 18 years+ - NCT06213168Recruiting
CPAP plus high-flow oxygen vs oxygen alone for breathing failure
This study tests whether adding a breathing machine (CPAP) to high-flow oxygen can help people with sudden breathing failure more than high-flow oxygen alone. It is for adults recently admitted to the ICU with low oxygen levels.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06425354Recruiting
Can breathing machine energy predict lung inflammation?
This study looks at a new measure called 'mechanical power' (the energy from the breathing machine) to see if it can predict inflammation in the lungs and blood of patients with low oxygen levels. It may help doctors better understand how the breathing machine affects lung damage.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07279831Recruiting
Brain-lung interaction study in acute respiratory failure
This trial looks at how the lung and brain communicate during serious breathing problems. If you are in the ICU with a new breathing issue and need high-flow oxygen therapy, researchers want to study your brain and lung activity together.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03642002Recruiting
Music therapy for adults on breathing machines in the ICU
This trial tests whether music therapy can improve comfort and recovery for adults who need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) in the ICU for at least 48 hours. It may help with stress, mood, and other ICU-related symptoms while you are in critical care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03758508Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support versus high-flow oxygen for pneumonia
This study compares two ways to help breathing in adults with pneumonia who have low oxygen levels: a noninvasive breathing machine versus high-flow oxygen. It aims to see which option helps patients breathe better and avoid getting worse.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04524585Recruiting
Tested a muscle-relaxing treatment for severe low-oxygen breathing
This study tests whether partially relaxing the breathing-related muscles can help people with severe low oxygen while they are on a breathing machine. It may improve how well the lungs work by changing the way the muscles affect breathing.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04545242RecruitingPhase 4
Dexamethasone for severe lung failure from infections on ventilators
This trial studies whether dexamethasone (a steroid medicine) improves outcomes in adults who have sudden, severe breathing failure caused by an infection while they are on a breathing machine. It may help reduce inflammation in the lungs during critical illness.
Terrassa, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04707729Recruiting
Checking when to intubate patients on nasal high-flow oxygen
This study looks at a scoring system (ROX Index) to help decide the best timing to place a breathing tube (intubate) for adults who are struggling to get enough oxygen while using nasal high-flow (NHF). The goal is to see if using this timing approach can improve care for acute lung failure in the ICU.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–120 - NCT05089695Recruiting
Compare noninvasive breathing supports for breathing failure
This trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT05150483Recruiting
Study of a blood test in new severe breathing failure
This trial looks at how a test might help evaluate adults who come to the emergency room with a brand-new, sudden breathing problem that needs high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors identify what’s going on faster and guide care in the early hours.
Athens, AtticaAges 18 years+ - NCT05675345Recruiting
Negative pressure breathing device for sudden low-oxygen breathing failure
This trial studies a continuous negative external pressure device (a “cuirass” that helps breathing) for people with sudden, severe low oxygen levels. It aims to see whether the device improves breathing and oxygen levels without needing immediate intubation.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06007495Recruiting
Testing a new mask for carbon dioxide removal in breathing failure
This study tests a new mask designed to help remove carbon dioxide more effectively. It is for hospitalized adults with breathing failure who need non-invasive breathing support or high oxygen.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06104956Recruiting
Weaning from high-flow oxygen therapy in the ICU
This trial is testing a way to safely reduce high-flow oxygen therapy for patients in the ICU who have low oxygen levels. It might help find the right time to stop this treatment.
BloisAges 18–90 - NCT06374589Recruiting
Closing the loop on oxygen use during high flow therapy
This trial tests a system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy. The goal is to see if it can keep oxygen levels in a safe range better than usual care.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06438198Recruiting
Early switch to assisted breathing for lung failure
This trial tests switching patients from full ventilator support to a more gentle, assisted breathing mode earlier than usual. It may help people with severe lung failure recover faster and avoid complications from prolonged deep sedation.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06438302Recruiting
Nasal ventilation for patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether using a nasal ventilation mask affects how well the brain and lungs work in people who are already on a breathing machine. It is for patients with very low oxygen levels who have been intubated for less than 4 days.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06494085Recruiting
Finding the right breathing support for ICU patients
This study looks at how to better adjust breathing machines for people in the ICU who have low oxygen levels. It tests a new way to measure if the machine is doing too much of the work, which could help tailor support and make breathing easier.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06501118Recruiting
Oxygen levels in ICU patients on breathing machines
This study tests whether giving a little more oxygen to ICU patients on breathing machines leads to better recovery. It compares usual oxygen levels to a more liberal target to see which is safer and more effective.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06716463Recruiting
Predicting breathing support failure with wearable monitoring
This study tests if a wearable chest monitor can predict when breathing support (like a mask or nasal prongs) might stop working, so doctors can act faster. It is for hospital patients who need help breathing but are not on a breathing tube.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06795971Recruiting
Comparing oxygen methods for hypoxemic respiratory failure
This trial compares three ways of giving extra oxygen to people with low blood oxygen levels: a face mask with continuous pressure, a noninvasive ventilator, or high-flow oxygen through the nose. The goal is to see which method helps people avoid needing a breathing tube.
