High-flow oxygen for bronchiectasis flare-ups in intensive care
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests high-flow oxygen (a special oxygen delivery through a device) for people hospitalized with a bronchiectasis flare-up who need breathing support. It may help people avoid more invasive breathing machines and improve comfort and breathing during a severe episode.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis
- You are currently admitted to a respiratory intensive care unit (RICU)
- You need ventilator-type breathing support, but not an invasive mechanical ventilation breathing tube
- You are 18 years or older
- You have not had an earlier tracheotomy (a breathing opening in the neck)
- You have not already needed invasive breathing machine support and you do not have end-organ failure

This trial tests a home-use device called BiWaze Clear, which helps clear mucus from your lungs. It is for people with bronchiectasis (including those with cystic fibrosis) who have had recent lung infections and can use the device at home.
This study tests if giving antibiotics (levofloxacin or gentamicin) directly into the lungs during a bronchoscopy can help patients with bronchiectasis who are in the hospital with a sudden worsening of symptoms or are on a breathing machine.
This study compares two breathing support methods—noninvasive ventilation (a mask that helps you breathe) and high-flow oxygen (warm, moist oxygen through a tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with sudden worsening of interstitial lung disease. If you are in the ICU and need extra oxygen, this trial may help guide your treatment.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
This study compares two breathing support options for people hospitalized with a COPD flare-up and high carbon dioxide levels in the blood. It aims to see which option works better and is safer for breathing and recovery.
This trial is studying how a mask that helps you breathe (non-invasive ventilation) affects people with bronchiectasis (a condition where airways in the lungs are stretched and scarred). It may help doctors understand if this treatment improves quality of life or slows the disease.
