Oxygen levels in ICU patients on breathing machines
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a little more oxygen to ICU patients on breathing machines leads to better recovery. It compares usual oxygen levels to a more liberal target to see which is safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) and need a breathing machine (ventilator) with a tube down your throat.
- You have been on the breathing machine for at least 12 hours.
- You were not transferred from a hospital outside the UCHealth system.
- You do not normally need a breathing machine at home through a hole in your neck (tracheostomy).
- You are not pregnant or in prison.

This study looks at how to better adjust breathing machines for people in the ICU who have low oxygen levels. It tests a new way to measure if the machine is doing too much of the work, which could help tailor support and make breathing easier.
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.
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
This study looks at how a specific type of breathing machine setting (adaptive pressure control) affects your lungs and recovery. It aims to find the best way to support breathing for people in the ICU with respiratory failure.
This study tests whether a simple 'bag CPAP' mask works better than standard oxygen therapy for people with sudden low oxygen levels from a new breathing problem. It aims to see if CPAP can improve oxygen levels and reduce the need for a breathing tube.
This study tests how well different pulse oximeters measure oxygen levels compared to a direct blood test in patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to find which devices are most accurate for monitoring oxygen.
