Test if FreeO2 helps keep oxygen levels in range
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether adding FreeO2 can help keep your oxygen saturation (a measure of oxygen in the blood) within a target range while you use breathing support like NIV or CPAP. It may help reduce time spent either too low or too high in oxygen levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 or older
- If you have AECOPD: have high carbon dioxide levels and low blood pH during this hospital stay
- Need oxygen support because your oxygen level is low (for example, SpO2 under 90% on room air) or you are on limited oxygen through a nasal cannula or face oxygen
- Be able to use noninvasive breathing support (NIV/CPAP) instead of needing an immediate breathing tube
- If you are having bariatric surgery: use CPAP before surgery for sleep apnea (and you may also have obesity-related low breathing)

This study compares how much oxygen is needed and how well oxygen levels stay in a safe range after heart surgery in the ICU. It also tests whether using different oxygen monitors affects oxygen flow and oxygenation.
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.
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 whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
This study tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts the amount of oxygen you receive, to help you safely reduce oxygen support. It may make the weaning process smoother and faster.
This study tests whether two noninvasive breathing/oxygen treatments after cardiac surgery help improve heart function. It may benefit people with weak pumping function who are recovering in the hospital and can safely use these devices.
