Oxygen versus CPAP during emergency lung fluid episodes
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether regular oxygen or CPAP (a breathing-support machine) works better for people who have swimming-induced pulmonary edema, a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs after swimming. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective breathing treatment in an emergency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a doctor-made diagnosis of swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE)
- You need urgent treatment because your oxygen level is low (oxygen saturation 91% or lower)
- You can give consent (or your legal representative can) to join the study
- No signs of an urgent heart problem are suspected

This trial tests a specific device to treat a lung condition called swimming-induced pulmonary edema, where fluid collects in the lungs after swimming. It may help people who need quick, acute treatment to get breathing better.
This study looks at what happens in the lungs after open-water swimming. It may help doctors better understand and recognize “swimming-induced lung fluid,” especially by using lung ultrasound when symptoms happen.
This study looks at people on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours who are starting a “spontaneous breathing trial,” a test used to see if they can breathe on their own. It focuses on those at higher risk of “weaning-induced pulmonary edema,” meaning fluid can collect in the lungs during the weaning process.
This trial compares two ways to help people who have a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs (acute pulmonary edema) breathe easier. One uses a simple oxygen mask, the other uses a machine that pushes air into your lungs. The results may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
This trial compares different types of breathing support to find which works best for people who suddenly have fluid buildup in their lungs, a condition called acute pulmonary edema. The goal is to improve breathing and outcomes for patients experiencing this emergency.
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen (delivered through a special nasal tube) works better than standard oxygen therapy for a condition called high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)—fluid buildup in the lungs caused by rapid ascent to high altitude. The study aims to see which approach helps patients breathe better and recover faster.
