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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06912360Recruiting
CPAP support for severe breathing failure in Burkina Faso
This trial tests if CPAP, a breathing machine that keeps airways open, helps adults with severe breathing problems and low oxygen levels. It is for people in Burkina Faso who need extra oxygen to breathe well.
Bobo-Dioulasso, HouetAges 18 years+ - NCT06931938Recruiting
Awake Prone Position for Pneumonia and Low Oxygen
This trial tests whether lying on your stomach while awake (called awake prone positioning) can help people with pneumonia who have low oxygen levels in the ICU. It aims to see if this simple position change can improve breathing and avoid the need for a breathing machine.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06936618Recruiting
Electrical impedance guided ventilator settings for breathing failure
This trial tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe and non-invasive monitoring technique, helps doctors set the ventilator better for patients with low oxygen levels. It may improve your breathing support during mechanical ventilation.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07168213Recruiting
Comparing oxygen monitors during high-flow nasal oxygen
This study tests whether two different oxygen monitors change how much extra oxygen doctors give you during high-flow nasal oxygen therapy. If you are in the ICU and already on this type of oxygen, the researchers want to see if using a different monitor helps keep your oxygen levels stable.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07175194Recruiting
Matching lung scans to ventilator settings in acute breathing failure
This study uses two lung imaging tests—CT scan and EIT (a non-invasive electrical test)—to find the best ventilator pressure for people with sudden breathing failure. The goal is to tailor settings to your lungs and potentially improve breathing support.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07607080Recruiting
Predicting Treatment Success for High-Flow Oxygen Support
This study helps doctors predict which patients receiving high-flow oxygen through a nasal tube will need additional breathing support. Researchers use blood tests and clinical information to identify who might need a ventilator, allowing earlier interventions if needed.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06938217Enrolling by invitation
Low-flow ECMO for adults with severe breathing failure
This study tests whether a gentler, low-blood-flow version of ECMO (a machine that helps oxygenate blood outside the body) is safe and effective for adults with very severe breathing failure. It is for patients who are already on a breathing machine and have very low oxygen levels despite that support.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - 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.
