Oxygen flow and pressure in heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure pressure in your lungs while you receive high-flow oxygen therapy. It may help doctors better understand how to use this treatment in people with heart failure who need extra breathing support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have been using both non-invasive breathing support (like a mask) and high-flow oxygen for at least 24 hours.
- You have heart failure with signs of lung infection or fluid on chest X-ray.
- You are awake and able to follow instructions.
- You do not have a tracheostomy, severe COPD, or a pacemaker.
- No wounds or injuries on your face or nose that would prevent using a mask or oxygen tubes.

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 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 study tests whether breathing high-flow oxygen through a nasal tube during exercise helps people with heart failure exercise longer and feel better. Researchers will compare how well patients do with and without this extra oxygen during cardiac rehabilitation.
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.
This study tests two breathing devices—one that uses positive pressure and one that uses high-frequency vibrations—to see which helps open up clogged or collapsed parts of the lung better. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is used to scan your lungs like a video while you breathe, to measure the results.
This trial tests whether adjusting high flow oxygen therapy (which delivers warm, moist oxygen through the nose) based on a new, non-contact technology — a depth camera that measures lung volumes without touching you — can help improve breathing in people with low oxygen levels. It's for patients in respiratory distress who need oxygen but don't have chronic lung disease.
