Inhaled salbutamol for pneumonia patients on oxygen
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving inhaled salbutamol (a medication that opens airways) through a nebulizer can help people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing and need oxygen support. It looks at how the treatment affects lung function and breathing effort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 89 years old.
- You are not on a breathing tube (not intubated).
- You have acute respiratory failure caused by pneumonia, with low oxygen levels in your blood.
- You are currently receiving oxygen therapy.
- You do not have high carbon dioxide levels in your blood (hypercapnia).
- You do not have hemodynamic instability, uncontrolled fast heart rate, or recent use of certain inhalers.

This trial compares different nebulized solutions to see which works best at clearing mucus from the lungs in people with pneumonia who cannot cough it up on their own. If you are in the hospital with pneumonia and need suctioning to remove mucus, this study might help improve your breathing and recovery.
This study tests an inhaled gas (iNO300) given through your breathing tube to improve oxygen levels in critically ill patients with pneumonia. You may qualify if you are on a ventilator and have been diagnosed with pneumonia within the last 3 days.
This study tests whether giving fast, high-flow oxygen early—together with inhaled terbutaline via a vibrating mist—helps adults with moderate to severe asthma flare-ups in the emergency department. It aims to see if this approach improves breathing after initial treatment.
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.
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 uses video recordings to see how well salbutamol helps children with wheezing caused by a virus. Researchers want to understand when this medicine works best.
