Comparing two breathing machine settings for high carbon dioxide failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests two different ways of setting a noninvasive breathing machine (BiPAP) to help patients with high carbon dioxide levels in the blood due to respiratory failure. It aims to find which setting works better for patients at Lenox Hill Hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have been diagnosed with high carbon dioxide in your blood (hypercapnic respiratory failure) confirmed by a blood test.
- You must be admitted to the medical intensive care unit or telemetry unit at Lenox Hill Hospital.
- Your doctor must decide that you need a noninvasive breathing machine (like a BiPAP) for your high carbon dioxide levels.
- You must be willing and able to follow the study procedures and stay for the whole study.

This trial compares two ways to help people with high carbon dioxide levels breathe better using a mask. It aims to find which method works best in the emergency department.
This trial studies how different breathing support strategies affect people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide (CO2) in their blood. It may help care teams choose safer respiratory support after a breathing machine is stopped.
This trial tests two different ways of adjusting a ventilator to help patients get off the breathing machine. It aims to find which method works better for people in the ICU who are ready to start the weaning process.
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive ventilator (a breathing machine with a mask) at home can help people with severe COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. It aims to improve breathing and reduce the need for hospital visits.
This trial compares two ways to help people with severe breathing failure: high-flow oxygen and non-invasive ventilation (a mask that pushes air into your lungs). The goal is to see which treatment works better for patients in the ICU who have too much carbon dioxide in their blood.
This study compares two breathing machine modes for patients in intensive care who need a ventilator due to severe lung failure. The goal is to see if letting the patient breathe on their own is better than the machine controlling all breaths.
