Predicting breathing support failure with wearable monitoring
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently using a breathing support device (mask or high-flow nasal prongs) in the hospital.
- You do not have a long-term condition that causes high carbon dioxide levels in your blood.
- You do not have a muscle or nerve disease that affects breathing.
- You do not use a breathing machine at home (CPAP or BiPAP).
- You do not have a breathing tube in your windpipe, a pacemaker, defibrillator, or burns where the chest monitor would be placed.

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 study tests a new way to monitor breathing muscles in patients who need extra oxygen or breathing support, like a mask or high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors better understand how to treat respiratory failure.
This study tests a monitoring device to predict if a patient with low oxygen levels will need a breathing tube within 72 hours. It aims to help doctors decide earlier if a patient needs more intensive support.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive breathing monitor to help doctors decide when it's safe to remove the breathing tube after upper abdominal surgery. It aims to reduce complications by predicting who will breathe well on their own.
This study looks at whether nighttime breathing problems can predict long-term success with a non-invasive breathing machine in people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. The goal is to help doctors decide who will benefit most from this therapy.
This study looks at how well non-invasive breathing support works for people with COPD by checking how well the diaphragm muscle is working. The goal is to better predict if this type of breathing help, given through a mask, will work for you.
