Comparing two breath-timing methods for breathing masks in adults
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of timing a breathing mask's support to match your own breaths. If you're in the ICU or ER and need help breathing for at least 2 more hours, this trial may test which method works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be in the ICU or emergency room and expected to use a breathing mask (noninvasive ventilation) for at least 2 more hours while still breathing on your own.
- You or a close relative must sign a consent form agreeing to join the study.
- You cannot be enrolled in another research study that tests a treatment.
- You must not be pregnant, and if you are a woman who could become pregnant, you must not be pregnant.

This study compares a computerized “closed-loop” system that helps match breathing support to a child’s needs versus usual (standard) breathing control. It’s for critically ill children on a breathing machine, aiming to improve synchronization between the child and the ventilator.
This study is testing two different ways of using a breathing machine for people with sudden breathing failure. The goal is to see which method puts less stress on the lungs and might help them recover faster.
This study compares two breathing support methods—noninvasive ventilation (a mask that helps you breathe) and high-flow oxygen (warm, moist oxygen through a tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with sudden worsening of interstitial lung disease. If you are in the ICU and need extra oxygen, this trial may help guide your treatment.
This study tests two different ways of adjusting the breathing machine (ventilator) to help intensive care patients start breathing more on their own. The goal is to find the better approach to reduce time on the ventilator and improve recovery.
This study compares two ways to help patients breathe on their own during a spontaneous breathing trial (a test to see if they can come off the ventilator). It aims to find which method works better for adults in the ICU.
This study tests two common ways to help people who are having trouble breathing in the emergency room: a face mask that pushes air into the lungs (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) or high-flow oxygen through small tubes in the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen). The goal is to find which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
