High-flow oxygen versus standard oxygen in hospitalized adults
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a high-flow oxygen device works better than the usual (standard) oxygen for people admitted to the hospital with low blood oxygen. The goal is to see if high-flow oxygen can help you breathe easier and improve oxygen levels faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be admitted to the hospital within the past 24 hours
- At the first check, have low oxygen (SpO2 under 90%) or be already receiving oxygen
- Be able to use a nasal breathing tube (no face/airway anatomy issue that blocks nasal cannula)
- Agree to take part (patient or caregiver cannot refuse)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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 tests whether high-flow oxygen therapy (given through the nose) can help people in the emergency room whose oxygen levels are low due to a lung infection or other lung problem, without needing a breathing tube right away. It compares this to standard oxygen therapy through a mask.
This study compares two ways to help breathing in adults with pneumonia who have low oxygen levels: a noninvasive breathing machine versus high-flow oxygen. It aims to see which option helps patients breathe better and avoid getting worse.
This study helps doctors predict which patients receiving high-flow oxygen through a nasal tube will need additional breathing support. Researchers use blood tests and clinical information to identify who might need a ventilator, allowing earlier interventions if needed.
This trial tests if adding high-flow oxygen therapy to your usual long-term oxygen therapy can help you breathe better. It is for people with COPD or ILD who use oxygen at home for at least 15 hours a day.
This study looks at how high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (a special way to give extra oxygen through a tube in the nose) is used in children's hospital wards. It aims to help doctors and nurses understand how to use this treatment better.
