Negative pressure breathing device for sudden low-oxygen breathing failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies a continuous negative external pressure device (a “cuirass” that helps breathing) for people with sudden, severe low oxygen levels. It aims to see whether the device improves breathing and oxygen levels without needing immediate intubation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently in the hospital with sudden low oxygen breathing failure.
- Your scans (chest X-ray or CT) show lung opacities that are not from a heart problem.
- You started high-flow nasal oxygen (at least 30 liters per minute) within the last 4 days, and your oxygen settings are FiO2 40% or higher.
- Your oxygen level on pulse oximeter is at least 92% (SpO2).

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 is testing a way to safely reduce high-flow oxygen therapy for patients in the ICU who have low oxygen levels. It might help find the right time to stop this treatment.
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen delivered through the nose, combined with non-invasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe without a tube down your throat), can help patients with sudden severe breathing problems. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
This study tests whether adding a breathing machine (CPAP) to high-flow oxygen can help people with sudden breathing failure more than high-flow oxygen alone. It is for adults recently admitted to the ICU with low oxygen levels.
This trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
This trial tests different types of noninvasive breathing support (like masks or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works best for patients with low oxygen levels. It may be helpful if you are in the hospital, need extra oxygen, and are not already on a breathing tube.
