High-flow nasal cannula based on diaphragm ultrasound
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to match high-flow oxygen settings to your diaphragm's movement. It looks at how breathing muscles respond at different flow rates to give you the best support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have respiratory failure and need breathing support.
- You need breathing support for at least 24 hours (or high-flow oxygen or non-invasive ventilation for at least 48 hours).
- You can agree to join the study (or your legal representative can).

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 compares two types of high flow nasal cannula to see which one makes it easier for you to breathe. You may join if you are 18 or older and have normal oxygen levels without extra oxygen.
This study tests a new way to measure how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) is working using ultrasound imaging. Researchers want to see if this measurement method works reliably in patients who are on breathing support.
This study helps doctors predict which patients receiving high-flow oxygen through a nasal tube will need additional breathing support. Researchers use blood tests and clinical information to identify who might need a ventilator, allowing earlier interventions if needed.
This trial uses ultrasound to check how your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) is working while you are on a ventilator. The goal is to help doctors set the breathing machine more accurately to make it easier for you to breathe on your own.
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen therapy (given through the nose) can help people in the emergency room whose oxygen levels are low due to a lung infection or other lung problem, without needing a breathing tube right away. It compares this to standard oxygen therapy through a mask.
