Testing CPAP and high-flow oxygen for ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests two types of breathing support—CPAP (a mask that pushes air into your lungs) and high-flow nasal oxygen (a special tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help you breathe more easily without needing a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have low oxygen levels in your blood that need extra oxygen or a breathing machine.
- Your lungs show cloudiness or fluid on both sides in a chest X-ray, CT scan, or ultrasound.
- Your breathing problems started less than 7 days ago.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You do not have a long-term lung condition like COPD or pulmonary fibrosis, and you have not needed a breathing tube or mask ventilator before.

This study tests two types of non-invasive breathing support (mask-based or high-flow oxygen) for people arriving at the emergency department with severe low oxygen levels. The goal is to find which approach works best and keeps more people from needing a breathing tube.
This trial observes the symptoms, treatments, and recovery of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. It aims to learn more about how different types of breathing support affect outcomes.
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 different types of noninvasive breathing support (like masks or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works best for patients with low oxygen levels. It may be helpful if you are in the hospital, need extra oxygen, and are not already on a breathing tube.
This study tests whether adding a breathing machine (CPAP) to high-flow oxygen can help people with sudden breathing failure more than high-flow oxygen alone. It is for adults recently admitted to the ICU with low oxygen levels.
This study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide (a gas you breathe in) can improve oxygen delivery to your lungs in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are using non-invasive breathing support instead of a breathing tube. The goal is to help your lungs deliver oxygen more efficiently to your blood.
