CPAP plus high-flow oxygen vs oxygen alone for breathing failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a breathing machine (CPAP) to high-flow oxygen can help people with sudden breathing failure more than high-flow oxygen alone. It is for adults recently admitted to the ICU with low oxygen levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) less than 24 hours
- You have a new, sudden breathing problem (not a long-term lung disease)
- Low oxygen levels in your blood despite using a high-flow oxygen mask
- You are not pregnant, not on long-term oxygen at home, and have no chest injury or surgery in the last 6 days

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 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 study tests two types of breathing support—CPAP (a mask that pushes air into your lungs) and high-flow nasal oxygen (a special tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help you breathe more easily without needing a breathing tube.
This trial tests different types of noninvasive breathing support (like masks or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works best for patients with low oxygen levels. It may be helpful if you are in the hospital, need extra oxygen, and are not already on a breathing tube.
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 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.
