Non-invasive respiratory support for COVID-19 breathing failure
Part of 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 tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
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 tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask during placement of a breathing tube helps patients with severe breathing problems in the ICU. It aims to make intubation safer and improve oxygen levels.
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 compares different non-invasive ways to help you breathe (using a mask or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works better for people with low oxygen levels. It aims to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
This study compares two ways to help breathing in adults with pneumonia who have low oxygen levels: a noninvasive breathing machine versus high-flow oxygen. It aims to see which option helps patients breathe better and avoid getting worse.
