Nasal airflow and sleep in tracheostomy patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how breathing through your nose affects sleep quality for patients with a tracheostomy who are on a ventilator at night. It involves a sleep test to measure your sleep patterns and breathing, which could help improve your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the hospital learning to breathe without a ventilator during the day.

- Your care team has decided you need a sleep study (polysomnography).
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form.

This study tests whether sending a small amount of air through the nose can help reduce shortness of breath in people who have a tracheostomy and are on a breathing machine. If you often feel breathless, this simple approach might make you more comfortable.
This trial tests whether using a nasal ventilation mask affects how well the brain and lungs work in people who are already on a breathing machine. It is for patients with very low oxygen levels who have been intubated for less than 4 days.
This study compares different tracheostomy tubes to see which one helps people breathe more comfortably while they are getting used to breathing on their own after being on a ventilator. It aims to find the best tube to reduce shortness of breath.
This trial tests if high-flow oxygen delivered through a tracheostomy tube can make mucus less sticky and reduce breathing effort while you are being taken off a ventilator. It could help you breathe easier during weaning.
This study compares two types of high-flow oxygen therapy (warm, moisturized air delivered through a tracheostomy tube) to see which one helps you breathe more comfortably and efficiently. They use a special monitor called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to see how your lungs are working.
This study compares two ways to prepare patients with a tracheostomy (a breathing tube in the neck) for having it removed. It tests whether a standard method or using a special valve (incremental dead space) works better for safe removal.
