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.

- 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 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 tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask during placement of a breathing tube helps patients with severe breathing problems in the ICU. It aims to make intubation safer and improve oxygen levels.
This study compares different non-invasive ways to help you breathe (using a mask or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works better for people with low oxygen levels. It aims to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
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.
