Test two oxygen targets using different oxygen monitors
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently in the ICU after postoperative heart (cardiac) surgery
- You have an arterial line (an artery catheter) for blood oxygen monitoring
- You are on regular oxygen by nasal cannula at up to 5 liters per minute, and your oxygen saturation is usually 88% to 100% on the usual monitor
- You must have a reliable oxygen reading (no missing SpO2 signal) from the monitor

This study tests how well different pulse oximeters measure oxygen levels compared to a direct blood test in patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to find which devices are most accurate for monitoring oxygen.
This study compares different ways to give oxygen (by mask or nasal prongs) to find the best target oxygen level. It might help doctors give you just the right amount of oxygen to keep you safe.
This trial compares how well different fingertip pulse oximeters measure oxygen levels, using an arterial blood test as the reference. It may help improve oxygen monitoring for ICU patients, especially when measurements can be hard or inaccurate.
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.
This trial tests a method to measure oxygen in the air you breathe out during emergency intubation. It aims to help doctors prevent low oxygen levels in patients at high risk, such as those with pneumonia, sepsis, or obesity.
This study tests whether two different oxygen monitors change how much extra oxygen doctors give you during high-flow nasal oxygen therapy. If you are in the ICU and already on this type of oxygen, the researchers want to see if using a different monitor helps keep your oxygen levels stable.
