Home high-flow oxygen after COPD hospital flare
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a special oxygen device at home helps prevent another acute COPD flare after you’ve been hospitalized. It’s mainly for people with severe breathing problems who may need oxygen support long-term.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have COPD (chronic lung disease) diagnosed by standard COPD criteria (GOLD)
- You were admitted to the hospital for an acute COPD flare (worsening)
- You have severe breathing impairment that meets long-term oxygen thresholds, or you meet them after you stabilize from this hospital stay
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You can and will use the high-flow oxygen device if you join the study
- You do not have certain conditions that would interfere, like ongoing breathing-support for sleep apnea or specific very high CO2 levels

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is looking at patients with a serious worsening of their chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who need intensive care. It aims to gather information to help improve treatment for these severe episodes.
This trial tests whether a special type of oxygen delivered through the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen) helps people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up. It is likely meant for people with significant breathing problems and recent repeat flare-ups.
This study tests whether a home high-flow nasal breathing device (myAirvo 3) helps people with COPD who recently needed hospital care for a flare-up. You would use the device at home and track symptoms, oxygen levels, and heart rate daily to see how well it works.
This trial tests if adding high-flow oxygen therapy to your usual long-term oxygen therapy can help you breathe better. It is for people with COPD or ILD who use oxygen at home for at least 15 hours a day.
This study tests whether high-flow nasal oxygen (a gentle breathing support through the nose) can help people with a severe COPD flare-up. If you have high carbon dioxide and slightly acidic blood, this treatment might improve your breathing and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
This trial studies a coordinated (multidisciplinary) care program for people with severe COPD who were recently hospitalized for worsening breathing symptoms. It may help reduce future flare-ups and improve day-to-day breathing by coordinating multiple types of care in a COPD center.
