Closed-loop oxygen control for ICU patients on a breathing machine
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a closed-loop system that automatically adjusts the oxygen level in your breathing tube, aiming to keep your oxygen levels in a safe range with less need for manual changes. It may help if you are in the ICU, need a breathing machine, and have low blood oxygen despite receiving extra oxygen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the ICU and expected to need a breathing tube for at least 8 more hours.
- You have acute respiratory failure with low oxygen levels in your blood (PaO2/FiO2 less than 300) while on at least 40% oxygen.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You or a family member can sign a consent form to join the study.
- You are not on high doses of blood pressure medicines (more than 1 mg/h of epinephrine or norepinephrine).
- You do not have severe acidosis, certain blood disorders, or a language barrier that prevents consent.

This study tests whether using high-flow oxygen through a nasal cannula during the breathing tube placement can help keep oxygen levels stable in ICU patients who already have low oxygen. It compares this method to standard care.
This trial tests a system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy. The goal is to see if it can keep oxygen levels in a safe range better than usual care.
This trial tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for people with COPD who are in the hospital using a nasal high-flow device. It may help keep your oxygen levels stable without needing constant adjustments.
This study compares a computerized “closed-loop” system that helps match breathing support to a child’s needs versus usual (standard) breathing control. It’s for critically ill children on a breathing machine, aiming to improve synchronization between the child and the ventilator.
This trial tests a device that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for premature babies who need help breathing through tubes or masks in their nose. The goal is to keep oxygen levels in a safer, more stable range without needing staff to manually adjust it constantly.
This trial tests a computer-guided (“closed-loop”) oxygen control system for very preterm babies who need breathing support. It aims to keep oxygen levels safer and more consistent than standard care.
