Improving breathing support during flexible bronchoscopy
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies how to give oxygen and breathing support during a flexible bronchoscopy (a camera test through the airways). It may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable by refining the way oxygen is managed during the test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a procedure that uses a flexible bronchoscopy (a flexible camera through the airways).
- You are either an outpatient scheduled in a dedicated clinic, or you are in the hospital (any ward or the ICU).
- There are no specific exclusion conditions listed, so participation mainly depends on having the procedure and being in the right care setting.

This study is looking at ways to improve non-invasive ventilation, which is breathing support given without a breathing tube. You may be invited if you’re already receiving this kind of support and you agree to take part.
This study looks at why some patients with acute respiratory failure do not improve with non-invasive breathing support like high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV). It aims to find patterns that might predict when these treatments are not enough.
This study looks at whether using high-flow oxygen through the nose during a specific lung procedure (EBUS bronchoscopy) is safe and works well while you receive monitored sedation. If you qualify, it may help improve how breathing is supported during the procedure.
This trial tests two breathing support methods—noninvasive ventilation (a mask that helps you breathe) and high-flow oxygen therapy—to see which works better for people with a sudden worsening of interstitial lung disease (a type of lung scarring) who are in the ICU and need extra oxygen.
This trial compares different methods of mechanical ventilation while doctors perform a bronchoscopy to clean the airways or stop bleeding. It may help people with severe breathing problems whose blood tests show high carbon dioxide and low pH.
This trial tests if special breathing support (non-invasive ventilation) before a bronchoscopy can help people with chronic respiratory acidosis. It's for patients who need a lung scope to diagnose conditions like lung cancer or sarcoidosis.
