Breathing mask to improve airflow in ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of breathing mask that helps your lungs take in more air by clearing stale air from the mask. If you are already in the ICU using a breathing mask, this could make your breathing support more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older and are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You are currently prescribed non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and are stable.
- You can wear a mask that fits under your nose (a sub-nasal mask).
- You do not need very high air pressure (30 cmH2O or more) for your breathing support.
- You are not pregnant and are able to understand the consent process.

This trial tests a new non-invasive ventilation mask that fits under the nose. The goal is to see if the mask is comfortable and works well for people who are already stable on NIV therapy.
This study tests a new type of face mask for people with severe COPD flare-ups who are already getting breathing support. The goal is to see if this mask helps reduce carbon dioxide levels in the blood better than the usual mask.
This study tests different masks used for non-invasive ventilation (breathing support) to see how they affect breathing in healthy adults. It might help people who need this kind of support at home or in the hospital.
This study is looking at ways to improve non-invasive ventilation, which is breathing support given without a breathing tube. You may be invited if you’re already receiving this kind of support and you agree to take part.
This study compares different non-invasive ways to help you breathe (using a mask or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works better for people with low oxygen levels. It aims to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
This trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
