Comparing breathing support for sudden lung fluid buildup
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests different ways to help patients breathe easier when fluid suddenly fills their lungs (acute pulmonary edema). It compares methods of respiratory support to see which works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with acute pulmonary edema (sudden fluid in the lungs).
- You are 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 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 trial tests two breathing support methods—noninvasive ventilation (a mask that helps you breathe) and high-flow oxygen therapy—to see which works better for people with a sudden worsening of interstitial lung disease (a type of lung scarring) who are in the ICU and need extra oxygen.
This study watches how your body responds to fluids while on VA ECMO (a heart-lung machine). The goal is to improve care for people needing this support.
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.
