Comparing breathing support for sudden fluid in the lungs
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares different types of breathing support to find which works best for people who suddenly have fluid buildup in their lungs, a condition called acute pulmonary edema. The goal is to improve breathing and outcomes for patients experiencing this emergency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with acute pulmonary edema, which is a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs causing breathing difficulty.
- You must be 18 years old or older.

This trial compares two ways to help people who have a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs (acute pulmonary edema) breathe easier. One uses a simple oxygen mask, the other uses a machine that pushes air into your lungs. The results may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
This trial tests whether regular oxygen or CPAP (a breathing-support machine) works better for people who have swimming-induced pulmonary edema, a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs after swimming. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective breathing treatment in an emergency.
This study compares two breathing support methods—noninvasive ventilation (a mask that helps you breathe) and high-flow oxygen (warm, moist oxygen through a tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with sudden worsening of interstitial lung disease. If you are in the ICU and need extra oxygen, this trial may help guide your treatment.
This study looks at people on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours who are starting a “spontaneous breathing trial,” a test used to see if they can breathe on their own. It focuses on those at higher risk of “weaning-induced pulmonary edema,” meaning fluid can collect in the lungs during the weaning process.
This study looks at how the lungs react when they collapse or overinflate during mechanical ventilation in people with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It aims to find better ways to adjust breathing support to improve outcomes.
This study compares different ways to support breathing in patients who need a ventilator in the cardiac intensive care unit. It aims to find the best approach for people with certain heart conditions, like cardiogenic shock or heart failure.
