Oxygen mask vs. breathing machine for sudden fluid in the lungs
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to help people who have a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs (acute pulmonary edema) breathe easier. One uses a simple oxygen mask, the other uses a machine that pushes air into your lungs. The results may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with sudden fluid in the lungs due to a heart condition or very high blood pressure.
- You can give written consent to be in the study.
- You do not have any of the conditions listed as reasons to not participate (like severe infection, low blood pressure, or recent surgery).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests how well a specific breathing mask setup works in people who need noninvasive ventilation (breathing support without a breathing tube), especially during COPD flare-ups or certain kinds of breathing failure. It may help reduce complications related to the mask while supporting breathing for at least a day.
This trial compares different types of breathing support to find which works best for people who suddenly have fluid buildup in their lungs, a condition called acute pulmonary edema. The goal is to improve breathing and outcomes for patients experiencing this emergency.
This trial tests whether regular oxygen or CPAP (a breathing-support machine) works better for people who have swimming-induced pulmonary edema, a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs after swimming. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective breathing treatment in an emergency.
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen (delivered through a special nasal tube) works better than standard oxygen therapy for a condition called high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)—fluid buildup in the lungs caused by rapid ascent to high altitude. The study aims to see which approach helps patients breathe better and recover faster.
This study looks at how different levels of positive pressure from the breathing machine affect blood flow and fluid buildup in patients with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings to reduce stress on your body.
This study is testing two different ways of using a breathing machine for people with sudden breathing failure. The goal is to see which method puts less stress on the lungs and might help them recover faster.
