Comparing breathing support during bronchoscopy for respiratory failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of helping you breathe during a bronchoscopy (a tube with a camera that goes into your airway). It is for people whose lungs are failing to remove carbon dioxide, and it aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older and need a bronchoscopy to clear your airways, remove a foreign object, treat bleeding, or check/treat a lung infection.
- Your blood test must show high carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and low pH, meaning your lungs are not clearing CO2 well.
- You must be able to give written consent to join the study.
- You must not already be on a breathing tube (intubated) before the study starts.
- You must not have severe heart problems, unstable blood pressure, recent heart attack (within 2 weeks), or serious bleeding risks.

This study tests whether a special breathing technique (non-invasive ventilation) can help stabilize your breathing before you have a bronchoscopy. It aims to reduce risks during the procedure and improve how well your lungs handle the test.
This trial studies how to give oxygen and breathing support during a flexible bronchoscopy (a camera test through the airways). It may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable by refining the way oxygen is managed during the test.
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.
This study looks at why some patients with acute respiratory failure do not improve with non-invasive breathing support like high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV). It aims to find patterns that might predict when these treatments are not enough.
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen delivered through the nose, combined with non-invasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe without a tube down your throat), can help patients with sudden severe breathing problems. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
This trial uses a breathing mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help people who need a bronchoscopy. It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for those with breathing problems.
