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+ - NCT05681962Recruiting
Improving breathing support during flexible bronchoscopy
This trial studies how to give oxygen and breathing support during a flexible bronchoscopy (a camera test through the airways). It may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable by refining the way oxygen is managed during the test.
CatanzaroAges 18 years+ - NCT07750288Recruiting
Studying shortness of breath in children with acute respiratory distress
This study looks at how shortness of breath (dyspnea) relates to the progression of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), a severe lung condition in children. It aims to understand breathing difficulties better to improve care.
SantiagoAges 1 month–18 years - NCT03826797Recruiting
Testing breathing pressure signals in serious lung breathing failure
This study looks at how pressure readings from a breathing tube compare with whether non-invasive breathing support fails in people with sudden, severe low oxygen levels. It may help improve how clinicians spot who will need stronger breathing treatment sooner.
ModenaAges 18 years+ - NCT03667027Recruiting
Study of breathing muscle and lung changes during transplant planning
This trial studies how the diaphragm (your main breathing muscle) and lung/airway tissue behave in people who are being supported until they can get a lung transplant. The results may help doctors better understand breathing failure and improve transplant care.
TorontoAges 18 years+ - NCT07652268Recruiting
Home support for parents caring for children with breathing help
This trial offers nurse-led home visits and phone support to help parents manage symptoms for children who need breathing assistance (like oxygen or a ventilator). It aims to make daily care easier and improve your child's comfort.
Hong KongAges 6 months–22 years - NCT07237139Recruiting
Lung volume changes during breathing support in preterm infants
This study measures how the lungs of preterm babies (born before 30 weeks) expand during synchronized breathing support. It aims to understand how well this ventilator method works for very young infants.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT07344714Recruiting
Predicting breathing help needs for newborns in NICUs
This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 7 months–9 months - NCT06757166Recruiting
Non-invasive respiratory support for COVID-19 breathing failure
This study tests if non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or high-flow oxygen) can help hospitalized patients with low oxygen levels due to COVID-19, without needing a breathing tube. It aims to see how well it works and what risks it may have.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07558265Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods in the emergency department
This study tests two common ways to help people who are having trouble breathing in the emergency room: a face mask that pushes air into the lungs (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) or high-flow oxygen through small tubes in the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen). The goal is to find which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06788093Recruiting
Reducing antibiotic overuse with decision support
This trial tests a tool to help doctors decide when antibiotics are truly needed for lung infections like bronchitis or pneumonia. It may help you avoid unnecessary antibiotics and their side effects.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 6 months–17 years - NCT03890224Recruiting
Testing breathing support needs in COPD with high CO2
This trial studies how different breathing support strategies affect people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide (CO2) in their blood. It may help care teams choose safer respiratory support after a breathing machine is stopped.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06442267RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing blood thinners for ECMO support
This trial compares three different blood thinners (heparin, argatroban, and enoxaparin) used during ECMO support. It aims to find the safest and most effective way to prevent blood clots while on ECMO.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05965830Recruiting
Diaphragm testing in babies using ultrasound or a breathing-recording test
This study compares two ways to measure how well a baby’s diaphragm (main breathing muscle) works in babies and children who need breathing support. It may help doctors choose the best test to guide safe breathing changes, like when to remove the breathing tube or support.
LeidenAges birth–1 year - NCT05589831Recruiting
Test breathing support and brain health in premature babies
This study checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
Toronto, OntarioAges 3 days+ - NCT07219784Enrolling by invitation
Abdominal binders for feeding in preterm babies on breathing support
This study tests whether a soft abdominal binder (a wrap around the belly) helps preterm babies on breathing support keep their milk feeds going without interruptions. It might help reduce pauses in feeding and support growth.
Albany, New YorkAges Up to 1 year - NCT06961227Recruiting
Comparing two breathing machine settings in the ICU
This trial compares two different ways a breathing machine can help you breathe. It uses a special imaging technique to see which method works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
SanliurfaAges 18 years+ - NCT05207046Recruiting
Study for people on a breathing machine after spine trauma
