Oxygen support after breathing tube removal in low oxygen patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is for patients who have low oxygen levels after a breathing tube is removed. It tests whether certain oxygen methods can help keep your oxygen levels safe after the tube comes out.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a French-speaking adult covered by health insurance.
- You gave written permission to join the study.
- During a breathing test, your oxygen level dropped to 90% or lower even with extra oxygen (6 liters per minute or 40% oxygen).
- Your carbon dioxide level did not rise too high (above 50) in that breathing test.
- You did not have very low oxygen (below 86%) with even more oxygen (9 liters/min or 50% oxygen) during the test.
- You do not have severe coughing problems, face/neck issues that block oxygen masks, or serious lung disease that needs oxygen at home.

This trial tests if different oxygen levels before removing a breathing tube after abdominal surgery can prevent low oxygen levels in the recovery room. It may help patients avoid breathing problems after waking up.
This trial tests two types of non-invasive breathing help (NIV and HVNI) for patients who develop serious breathing problems within two days after major surgery. It aims to see which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
This study tests whether using high-flow oxygen through a nasal cannula during the breathing tube placement can help keep oxygen levels stable in ICU patients who already have low oxygen. It compares this method to standard care.
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) in patients who are ready to breathe on their own: taking the tube out right away, or doing a trial of breathing without the machine first. It is for people who are at low risk of needing the tube put back in.
This trial tests whether giving noninvasive breathing support (using a mask or similar device, without a new breathing tube) right after removing a breathing tube works better for severely obese adults. It mainly looks at people at higher risk of needing help breathing again after extubation.
This study compares two breathing supports used after a breathing tube is removed in the ICU: a noninvasive ventilator (mask-based) versus high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which one works better when patients develop breathing trouble soon after extubation.
