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 compares different ways of helping you breathe during a bronchoscopy (a tube with a camera that goes into your airway). It is for people whose lungs are failing to remove carbon dioxide, and it aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support during the procedure.
This study tests whether a special breathing technique (non-invasive ventilation) can help stabilize your breathing before you have a bronchoscopy. It aims to reduce risks during the procedure and improve how well your lungs handle the test.
This study tests a new type of breathing mask that helps your lungs take in more air by clearing stale air from the mask. If you are already in the ICU using a breathing mask, this could make your breathing support more effective.
This trial compares two non-invasive breathing treatments—one that pushes air in, and one that helps you breathe out—to see which one helps people with COPD recover faster during a flare-up.
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.
