High-flow nasal oxygen during intubation in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at using a special, fast-flow oxygen device through the nose during intubation in critically ill adults. It may help keep oxygen levels safer while a breathing tube is placed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older)
- You are in the intensive care unit and need a breathing tube placed (intubation)
- Your clinician does not think it’s unsafe to use a nasal oxygen tube because of face or skull injury
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have total blockage of both nostrils
- No other clinician reason says you are not suitable for this nasal oxygen approach

This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen to people with serious breathing problems after chest trauma. It looks to see whether a high-flow system works better when delivered through a face interface rather than a facial mask, after standard nasal oxygen fails within 72 hours.
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 trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen during a procedure where you are awake but have a tube placed in your windpipe. It may help patients with airways that are hard to open safely.
This trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask during placement of a breathing tube helps patients with severe breathing problems in the ICU. It aims to make intubation safer and improve oxygen levels.
This trial tests different flow rates for a high-flow nasal cannula (a device that delivers warm, moist oxygen) after a breathing tube is removed. It aims to find the best setting for patients moving from a ventilator to breathing on their own.
