Compare two oxygen masks for breathing failure from pneumonia
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen—high-flow nasal tubes versus a Venturi face mask—for adults with pneumonia causing acute breathing failure. It aims to see which method works better to improve breathing and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult age 18 or older (any sex or ethnicity)
- Have pneumonia as the only cause of your sudden breathing problem
- Currently need oxygen support with certain breathing/oxygen measurements (for example, fast breathing or breathing distress, and low oxygen despite treatment)
- Be able to give consent yourself, or a close relative can consent if you cannot
- Not have other major reasons for your breathing failure (not just pneumonia)

This study tests how well a specific breathing mask setup works in people who need noninvasive ventilation (breathing support without a breathing tube), especially during COPD flare-ups or certain kinds of breathing failure. It may help reduce complications related to the mask while supporting breathing for at least a day.
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.
This trial compares two ways to help people with severe breathing failure: high-flow oxygen and non-invasive ventilation (a mask that pushes air into your lungs). The goal is to see which treatment works better for patients in the ICU who have too much carbon dioxide in their blood.
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.
This trial tests two noninvasive breathing support methods (NIV and HVNI) for people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see which method works better to help you avoid needing a breathing tube.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen to people with serious breathing problems after chest trauma. It looks to see whether a high-flow system works better when delivered through a face interface rather than a facial mask, after standard nasal oxygen fails within 72 hours.
