Noninvasive breathing support vs high-flow oxygen after ICU extubation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two breathing supports used after a breathing tube is removed in the ICU: a noninvasive ventilator (mask-based) versus high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which one works better when patients develop breathing trouble soon after extubation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were on a breathing tube (invasive mechanical ventilation) in the ICU for more than 24 hours before it was removed
- After the tube is removed, you develop breathing failure within 7 days
- Your breathing shows ongoing fast breathing or distress for at least 30 minutes, with abnormal blood gas results (low oxygen and/or carbon dioxide/pH changes)
- A relative or you can give consent, or emergency consent rules apply if you can’t speak for yourself
- Your problem is not mainly from a blocked upper airway

This trial tests whether giving noninvasive breathing support (using a mask or similar device, without a new breathing tube) right after removing a breathing tube works better for severely obese adults. It mainly looks at people at higher risk of needing help breathing again after extubation.
This study compares two types of noninvasive breathing support (NHFOV and NIMV) used after a premature baby's breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method helps babies breathe more smoothly after extubation.
This trial compares two breathing support methods used after a breathing tube is removed, to see which works better at preventing the need for the tube to be put back in. If you or your loved one is being taken off a ventilator, this study could help choose the safest way to support breathing.
This study tests different ways to give oxygen after a breathing tube is removed, to see which method helps patients with low oxygen levels recover better. It aims to find the safest and most effective approach to support breathing during this critical time.
This study tests whether using a positive pressure ventilation mask for one hour after removing the breathing tube helps patients who have been on a ventilator for a long time adjust better to breathing on their own. If you are in the ICU and about to come off the breathing machine, this extra support might help you recover more smoothly.
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.
