Drowning breathing failure oxygen trial
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to give oxygen to people who have trouble breathing after drowning. It aims to find the best approach in the emergency setting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be 1 year old or older
- Oxygen level below 92% at the scene
- Needed a high flow of oxygen (15 liters per minute) to get oxygen level to 95%
- Had at least one sign of breathing trouble (fast breathing, chest pulling in, belly breathing, or blue lips/skin)
- No severe hypothermia (body temperature below 34°C)
- No severe brain injury (Glasgow score below 13) or unstable blood pressure

This trial looks at emergency calls for drowning incidents to see how the call is handled and what happens to the patient. If you or someone you care for had a drowning and emergency services were called, you may be able to join.
This trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
This trial looks at how a test might help evaluate adults who come to the emergency room with a brand-new, sudden breathing problem that needs high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors identify what’s going on faster and guide care in the early hours.
This trial tests a targeted approach to manage oxygen levels in the brain for patients who received ECMO (a machine that does the heart and lung work) after a cardiac arrest that did not respond to standard CPR. The goal is to improve brain recovery and outcomes.
This study tests two types of non-invasive breathing support (mask-based or high-flow oxygen) for people arriving at the emergency department with severe low oxygen levels. The goal is to find which approach works best and keeps more people from needing 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.
