Non-invasive respiratory support for COVID-19 breathing failure
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or high-flow oxygen) can help hospitalized patients with low oxygen levels due to COVID-19, without needing a breathing tube. It aims to see how well it works and what risks it may have.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in the hospital (either on a regular ward or in the ICU)
- You are 18 years or older
- You have low oxygen levels despite oxygen therapy (defined as a specific test ratio under 250)
- You have not yet been placed on a breathing tube (intubated)
- You do not have a 'do not intubate' order in your medical records
- You do not have a tracheostomy tube in place

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 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 tests a method to measure oxygen in the air you breathe out during emergency intubation. It aims to help doctors prevent low oxygen levels in patients at high risk, such as those with pneumonia, sepsis, or obesity.
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 looks at how hard people with COVID-19 are working to breathe when they have serious breathing trouble but are not yet fully on a breathing machine. The results may help doctors better understand breathing support needs and improve care.
This study tests a new type of mask and breathing machine for patients in the ICU who need non-invasive breathing support (NIV). It looks at whether this method helps you breathe better. You may be eligible if you are stable, 18 or older, and can use a mask that fits under your nose.
