Comparing ways to remove breathing support in respiratory failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares four different ways to remove breathing support from people who have low oxygen levels. The goal is to find the most effective method to help you breathe on your own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently receiving breathing support through a high-velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) device.
- Your doctor has decided you are ready to be weaned off this breathing support, based on standard criteria.
- You do not have severe facial injuries or burns that would interfere with the devices.
- You do not have a tracheostomy (a tube in your throat) or other upper airway blockages.
- You do not use a non-invasive ventilator (mask or nasal prongs) at home for a long-term condition.

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 types of non-invasive breathing support (through a mask) to see which is more effective for people with type 2 respiratory failure, a condition where the body can't get rid of carbon dioxide. If you qualify, you would receive one of these breathing treatments in the emergency department.
This trial tests two noninvasive breathing support methods (NIV and HVNI) for people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see which method works better to help you avoid needing a breathing tube.
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 tests two common ways to help people who are having trouble breathing in the emergency room: a face mask that pushes air into the lungs (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) or high-flow oxygen through small tubes in the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen). The goal is to find which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
This study compares two ways of helping patients breathe on a ventilator after a failed attempt to come off the machine. It looks at how the diaphragm and rib muscles work during each method to find the best approach for weaning.
