Breathing support for adults with respiratory failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests two simple scores to predict how well breathing support (high-flow nasal cannula or a mask) will work for people with respiratory failure. It may help doctors choose the best treatment and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have acute or chronic respiratory failure (type 1 or 2).
- You are admitted to the chest intensive care unit (ICU).
- You are going to receive breathing support through a high-flow nasal cannula or a mask (noninvasive ventilation).
- You are not pregnant and are not being intubated (put on a breathing tube) at ICU admission.

This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen delivered through the nose, combined with non-invasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe without a tube down your throat), can help patients with sudden severe breathing problems. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
This trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
This trial compares two breathing support methods used after a breathing tube is removed, to see which works better at preventing the need for the tube to be put back in. If you or your loved one is being taken off a ventilator, this study could help choose the safest way to support breathing.
This study compares two types of breathing support—a high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive ventilation—to see which one better prevents the need for re-inserting a breathing tube in people with systolic heart failure who are at high risk for breathing problems after the tube is removed.
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 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.
