Study of breathing support types during bronchoscopy for respiratory failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares different methods of mechanical ventilation while doctors perform a bronchoscopy to clean the airways or stop bleeding. It may help people with severe breathing problems whose blood tests show high carbon dioxide and low pH.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You need a bronchoscopy to clear the airway, stop bleeding, or remove a foreign object
- You have breathing failure with high carbon dioxide (pCO2 > 45 mmHg) and low pH (< 7.35) in a recent blood test
- You sign a consent form to participate
- You do not have unstable heart disease, severe heart failure, or recent heart attack

This trial tests if special breathing support (non-invasive ventilation) before a bronchoscopy can help people with chronic respiratory acidosis. It's for patients who need a lung scope to diagnose conditions like lung cancer or sarcoidosis.
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 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 studies how different breathing support strategies affect people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide (CO2) in their blood. It may help care teams choose safer respiratory support after a breathing machine is stopped.
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.
