Early detection of breathing support failure in COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at a new way to measure oxygen levels in the blood to help doctors tell early on if non-invasive ventilation (breathing support through a mask) is not working well for people with COPD. If it works, it could help avoid emergencies and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a long-term lung condition.
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU) receiving non-invasive ventilation (breathing support through a mask).
- You do not need a breathing tube placed right away as an emergency.

This study looks at whether nighttime breathing problems can predict long-term success with a non-invasive breathing machine in people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. The goal is to help doctors decide who will benefit most from this therapy.
This study tests whether using a breathing machine (called non-invasive ventilation, or BiPAP) at home can help people with severe COPD breathe better and possibly live longer. It is for people whose blood CO2 levels stay high even after a COPD flare-up.
This study tests different ways to improve chronic noninvasive nighttime breathing support at home for people with COPD. It may help make home treatment easier and more effective, using better tools and setup.
This study looks at how well non-invasive breathing support works for people with COPD by checking how well the diaphragm muscle is working. The goal is to better predict if this type of breathing help, given through a mask, will work for you.
This trial compares two non-invasive breathing treatments—one that pushes air in, and one that helps you breathe out—to see which one helps people with COPD recover faster during a flare-up.
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.
