High flow oxygen therapy and breathing patterns
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how breathing changes in patients with low blood oxygen levels who are treated with high-flow oxygen through a mask. It aims to understand which patients might need a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the intensive care unit with low oxygen levels in your blood
- You are receiving high-flow oxygen therapy through a nasal mask
- You are not currently on a breathing machine with a tube in your throat
- You do not have a decision to avoid placing a breathing tube if needed
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

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.
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 whether high-flow oxygen therapy (given through the nose) can help people in the emergency room whose oxygen levels are low due to a lung infection or other lung problem, without needing a breathing tube right away. It compares this to standard oxygen therapy through a mask.
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.
This trial studies how well oxygen therapy works for people with long-term lung or heart conditions who have sudden breathing problems. It aims to find the best way to monitor breathing at home to improve care.
This study tests whether a high-flow oxygen device works better than the usual (standard) oxygen for people admitted to the hospital with low blood oxygen. The goal is to see if high-flow oxygen can help you breathe easier and improve oxygen levels faster.
