Finding the best oxygen flow for hospital patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares different ways of giving oxygen to hospital patients to find the best settings for keeping oxygen levels healthy. It may help improve comfort and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently receiving oxygen through a standard mask or nasal tube.
- Your oxygen level is between 88% and 100% when measured with a standard finger clip.
- Your oxygen level drops below 92% when you breathe regular room air.
- You are not receiving more than 6 liters of oxygen per minute.
- You do not have severe anemia (hemoglobin below 80 g/L) from a recent blood test.

This study compares how much oxygen is needed and how well oxygen levels stay in a safe range after heart surgery in the ICU. It also tests whether using different oxygen monitors affects oxygen flow and oxygenation.
This trial tests a system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy. The goal is to see if it can keep oxygen levels in a safe range better than usual care.
This study tests whether two different oxygen monitors change how much extra oxygen doctors give you during high-flow nasal oxygen therapy. If you are in the ICU and already on this type of oxygen, the researchers want to see if using a different monitor helps keep your oxygen levels stable.
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 trial tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for people with COPD who are in the hospital using a nasal high-flow device. It may help keep your oxygen levels stable without needing constant adjustments.
This trial tests different flow rates for a high-flow nasal cannula (a device that delivers warm, moist oxygen) after a breathing tube is removed. It aims to find the best setting for patients moving from a ventilator to breathing on their own.
