Tested a protective breathing mask in COPD and respiratory failure
Part of Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are admitted for a COPD flare-up needing breathing support without a tube, or a similar breathing problem where a breathing tube is being avoided
- You are expected to need this breathing support for at least 24 hours while in a hospital care unit
- You have NO pressure-skin injury at the mask/contact areas (for example, nasal bridge, cheeks, scalp) when you arrive
- You can and will consent to the study, and you are not pregnant
- You cannot have certain situations where this mask breathing support is unsafe (for example, no spontaneous breathing, severe agitation, blocked airway, severe circulation problems)

This study tests a new mask designed to help remove carbon dioxide more effectively. It is for hospitalized adults with breathing failure who need non-invasive breathing support or high oxygen.
This trial tests a new type of face mask designed to help remove carbon dioxide from your blood when you have a severe COPD flare-up and need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if the mask works better than standard masks for people like you.
This trial tests whether real-time monitoring with wearable devices can provide early warnings for COPD patients using home non-invasive ventilation. It aims to help manage the condition and prevent complications.
This trial compares two types of noninvasive breathing support (high-intensity vs. low-intensity) to see which is more comfortable for people with a sudden worsening of COPD. If your carbon dioxide level remains high despite initial treatment, you may be eligible.
This study tests a new type of mask and breathing machine for patients in the ICU who need non-invasive breathing support (NIV). It looks at whether this method helps you breathe better. You may be eligible if you are stable, 18 or older, and can use a mask that fits under your nose.
This study is testing a new mask for non-invasive ventilation (a breathing machine that helps you breathe without a tube in your throat). It is designed to see if the mask is comfortable and works well for people who already use this type of breathing support at home.
