Comparing two oxygen methods during breathing trials
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving oxygen (high-flow through the nose vs. a T-piece) to help patients come off a breathing machine safely. It aims to see which method works better during a test of your ability to breathe on your own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies two types of high-flow oxygen therapy in people who have a tracheostomy and are breathing on their own. The goal is to see which method helps breathing and oxygen levels better.
This trial uses a small tube in your nose to measure how hard you are working to breathe while receiving different types of oxygen therapy. It aims to find out if this nose pressure test can replace a more invasive test, making monitoring easier for you.
This study tests a special oxygen delivery method through a tracheostomy to help people safely come off a breathing machine. It may be an option if you have a tracheostomy and are ready to wean from the ventilator after more than 48 hours.
This study compares two ways of testing if overweight or obese patients can breathe on their own after being on a ventilator. You will be randomly assigned to one of two breathing trials (pressure support or a T-piece) to see which works better for helping you get off the ventilator.
This trial compares three ways of giving extra oxygen to people with low blood oxygen levels: a face mask with continuous pressure, a noninvasive ventilator, or high-flow oxygen through the nose. The goal is to see which method helps people avoid needing a breathing tube.
This study tests whether using warm, moist oxygen through a special mask (high-flow oxygen) makes it easier for people to breathe while they are being weaned off a breathing machine in the ICU.
