High-flow therapy for secretions in tracheostomy patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether high-flow tracheal therapy helps manage mucus in patients with a tracheostomy who already use it overnight. It may improve breathing comfort and reduce suctioning needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a tracheostomy (a tube in your windpipe to help breathing).
- You need routine suctioning to clear mucus from your airway.
- You already use high-flow therapy through your tracheostomy at night.
- You have enough mucus for analysis.
- You are not confused or have cognitive issues that would interfere.

This study tests whether high-flow oxygen through a breathing tube helps patients recover faster after tracheostomy (a surgical opening in the windpipe). If you're in the ICU with a tracheostomy and nearly ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help you transition off the ventilator more smoothly.
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.
This trial studies two types of high-flow oxygen therapy in people who have a tracheostomy and are breathing on their own. The goal is to see which method helps breathing and oxygen levels better.
This study tests whether sending a small amount of air through the nose can help reduce shortness of breath in people who have a tracheostomy and are on a breathing machine. If you often feel breathless, this simple approach might make you more comfortable.
This trial tests a device called TrachPhone that helps people with a tracheostomy speak more clearly. It may be a good fit if you are stable and breathing on your own through your trach tube.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen during a procedure where you are awake but have a tube placed in your windpipe. It may help patients with airways that are hard to open safely.
