Weaning from high-flow oxygen therapy in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a way to safely reduce high-flow oxygen therapy for patients in the ICU who have low oxygen levels. It might help find the right time to stop this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult admitted to the ICU for sudden low oxygen levels (with a specific blood test result).
- You have been on high-flow oxygen therapy for at least 24 hours, with the flow at 50 liters per minute or more and oxygen concentration at 50% or higher.
- Your oxygen levels and breathing rate must be stable or improving in the last 6 hours before joining.
- You had a blood gas test (a blood draw from an artery) while on high-flow oxygen therapy within the last 24 hours.
- You are covered by social security and you or your family member can sign a consent form.
- You do not have severe COPD, a history of lung scarring, or heart-related fluid in the lungs as the main cause of your breathing problem.

This trial tests a step-by-step plan to safely reduce oxygen support in adults who have been using a high-flow nasal cannula for breathing problems. The goal is to find the best way to wean patients off oxygen when they are stable, which might help them recover faster.
This study tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts the amount of oxygen you receive, to help you safely reduce oxygen support. It may make the weaning process smoother and faster.
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 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 a system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy. The goal is to see if it can keep oxygen levels in a safe range better than usual care.
This study tests whether two noninvasive breathing/oxygen treatments after cardiac surgery help improve heart function. It may benefit people with weak pumping function who are recovering in the hospital and can safely use these devices.
