Monitoring oxygen levels with a new non-invasive method
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure oxygen levels in your blood without using extra tubes or invasive techniques. It aims to make monitoring safer and more comfortable for patients on a breathing machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) and are sedated or relaxed so you don't breathe on your own.
- Your doctor thinks you need special monitoring of oxygen levels in your blood, which usually requires a tube in your heart or a central line.
- You are not already taking part in another research study.
- You agree (or your legal representative agrees) to take part in this study.

This study tests how well certain monitors measure oxygen and blood thickness in healthy volunteers. It helps improve devices used in hospitals to keep patients safe.
This trial tests a new way to measure breathing using a standard oxygen sensor (pulse oximetry) and a special clip on the nose for children and adults. It's meant for people already having their blood oxygen checked regularly, and the goal is to see if the sensor can accurately track your breaths.
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing muscles in patients who need extra oxygen or breathing support, like a mask or high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors better understand how to treat respiratory failure.
This study checks whether a new non-invasive measurement of oxygen delivery is accurate in patients having heart surgery. Participating may help improve monitoring during and after surgery, without extra procedures beyond what is already part of your care.
This trial tests a new type of oxygen monitor (pulse oximeter) in babies under 1 year old. It helps doctors better track oxygen levels in critically ill infants to improve care.
This trial tests whether adjusting high flow oxygen therapy (which delivers warm, moist oxygen through the nose) based on a new, non-contact technology — a depth camera that measures lung volumes without touching you — can help improve breathing in people with low oxygen levels. It's for patients in respiratory distress who need oxygen but don't have chronic lung disease.
