Study on a model for ICU patients on high-flow oxygen
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing an existing model (BREF) to see how well it helps doctors make decisions for patients on high-flow oxygen in the intensive care unit. It may help improve care for people needing extra breathing support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You are getting high-flow oxygen through a tube in your nose.
- You have a special pressure-measuring tube (esophageal balloon) placed to help doctors monitor your breathing.
- You do not have a chronic lung disease (like COPD that lasts a long time).
- Your breathing trouble is not caused by fluid in the lungs from a heart problem.
- You have been in the ICU less than 4 days (96 hours).

This study looks at why some patients with acute respiratory failure do not improve with non-invasive breathing support like high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV). It aims to find patterns that might predict when these treatments are not enough.
This study looks at how doctors decide about breathing support for patients on ventilators in the ICU. It uses a computer model to help make these decisions, and the goal is to improve care for people who need breathing help.
This trial looks at how the lung and brain communicate during serious breathing problems. If you are in the ICU with a new breathing issue and need high-flow oxygen therapy, researchers want to study your brain and lung activity together.
This study compares two breathing support methods—noninvasive ventilation (a mask that helps you breathe) and high-flow oxygen (warm, moist oxygen through a tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with sudden worsening of interstitial lung disease. If you are in the ICU and need extra oxygen, this trial may help guide your treatment.
This trial looks at how a test might help evaluate adults who come to the emergency room with a brand-new, sudden breathing problem that needs high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors identify what’s going on faster and guide care in the early hours.
This study helps doctors predict which patients receiving high-flow oxygen through a nasal tube will need additional breathing support. Researchers use blood tests and clinical information to identify who might need a ventilator, allowing earlier interventions if needed.
