Predicting success of breathing support in respiratory failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways to measure if non-invasive breathing support (a high-flow nasal cannula or a face mask) will work for patients with respiratory failure. The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must have respiratory failure (low oxygen, high carbon dioxide, or both, either sudden or long-term).
- You are being admitted to the chest intensive care unit (ICU).
- You are planning to receive treatment with a high-flow nasal cannula or a non-invasive breathing mask.

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—high-flow nasal cannula (a tube that delivers warm, moist air through the nose) and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (a mask that gently pushes air into the lungs)—to see which one better helps adults who were just removed from a breathing tube avoid needing a new tube. It is for people with acute respiratory failure who have been successfully weaned off the ventilator.
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.
This study tests if a wearable chest monitor can predict when breathing support (like a mask or nasal prongs) might stop working, so doctors can act faster. It is for hospital patients who need help breathing but are not on a breathing tube.
