Non-invasive ventilation for bronchoscopy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a breathing mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help people who need a bronchoscopy. It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for those with breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need a bronchoscopy (a test where a camera is used to look inside your lungs) for diagnosis or treatment.
- You are awake and alert, not confused or unconscious.
- You do not have severe breathing failure that requires a breathing tube.
- You do not have active vomiting, bowel blockage, or recent stomach surgery.
- You are not at risk for heavy bleeding (normal blood clotting).

This trial is studying how a mask that helps you breathe (non-invasive ventilation) affects people with bronchiectasis (a condition where airways in the lungs are stretched and scarred). It may help doctors understand if this treatment improves quality of life or slows the disease.
This study tests a new type of mask and breathing machine for patients in the ICU who need non-invasive breathing support (NIV). It looks at whether this method helps you breathe better. You may be eligible if you are stable, 18 or older, and can use a mask that fits under your nose.
This trial compares different methods of mechanical ventilation while doctors perform a bronchoscopy to clean the airways or stop bleeding. It may help people with severe breathing problems whose blood tests show high carbon dioxide and low pH.
This study is testing a new mask for non-invasive ventilation (a breathing machine that helps you breathe without a tube in your throat). It is designed to see if the mask is comfortable and works well for people who already use this type of breathing support at home.
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 study is looking at ways to improve non-invasive ventilation, which is breathing support given without a breathing tube. You may be invited if you’re already receiving this kind of support and you agree to take part.
