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 trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask during placement of a breathing tube helps patients with severe breathing problems in the ICU. It aims to make intubation safer and improve oxygen levels.
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.
