Studying breathing support failure in respiratory failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be admitted to the Respiratory Medicine Unit at AOU Policlinico di Modena.
- You must have acute respiratory failure with low oxygen levels (PaO2/FiO2 less than 300 mmHg).
- You must be receiving treatment with HFNO or NIV.

This study looks at how pressure readings from a breathing tube compare with whether non-invasive breathing support fails in people with sudden, severe low oxygen levels. It may help improve how clinicians spot who will need stronger breathing treatment sooner.
This study looks at how hard people with COVID-19 are working to breathe when they have serious breathing trouble but are not yet fully on a breathing machine. The results may help doctors better understand breathing support needs and improve care.
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 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 trial tests two ways to measure if non-invasive breathing support (a high-flow nasal cannula or a face mask) will work for patients with respiratory failure. The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment sooner.
This trial tests different types of noninvasive breathing support (like masks or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works best for patients with low oxygen levels. It may be helpful if you are in the hospital, need extra oxygen, and are not already on a breathing tube.
