Comparing two oxygen methods during breathing 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.

- Your doctor thinks you may be ready to try breathing on your own.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have unstable blood pressure or heart rate.

This study compares two types of high-flow oxygen therapy (warm, moisturized air delivered through a tracheostomy tube) to see which one helps you breathe more comfortably and efficiently. They use a special monitor called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to see how your lungs are working.
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 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 giving oxygen through a small tube in your windpipe during a breathing test helps you breathe more comfortably and successfully. It aims to improve how doctors decide if you are ready to breathe without the ventilator.
This trial tests if high-flow oxygen delivered through a tracheostomy tube can make mucus less sticky and reduce breathing effort while you are being taken off a ventilator. It could help you breathe easier during weaning.
