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.

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 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 study tests if changing the type or material of a tracheostomy tube can help people who are learning to breathe without a ventilator feel less short of breath. If you have a tracheostomy and are able to spend time off the ventilator, this trial may find ways to make your breathing easier.
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 tests a special oxygen delivery method through a tracheostomy to help people safely come off a breathing machine. It may be an option if you have a tracheostomy and are ready to wean from the ventilator after more than 48 hours.
This study looks at people who have a tracheostomy and have been on a breathing machine for at least two weeks. Researchers want to see if certain lung measurements can help predict how easy or hard it will be to come off the ventilator.
