Oxygen test to detect early breathing machine failure in COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a simple breathing measurement (oxygenation index) can predict when non-invasive ventilation (a breathing mask that helps you breathe) may not be working well in people with COPD. It could help doctors decide sooner if a different treatment is needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
- You are admitted to the respiratory intensive care unit (ICU) and are using non-invasive ventilation (a breathing mask).
- You do not need immediate placement of a breathing tube (intubation).

This trial tests whether using a non-invasive ventilator (a breathing machine with a mask) at home can help people with severe COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. It aims to improve breathing and reduce the need for hospital visits.
This trial tests a new type of face mask designed to help remove carbon dioxide from your blood when you have a severe COPD flare-up and need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if the mask works better than standard masks for people like you.
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 trial tests a non-invasive method to measure oxygen levels in your blood using your breath, avoiding the need for a tube in your heart. It's for adults who are on a breathing machine and whose doctors recommend a pulmonary artery catheter for monitoring.
This trial is testing a simple breathing test at the bedside to help doctors understand lung damage in patients who are in intensive care with severe breathing problems. It might help guide treatment for patients with acute lung injury.
This study looks for chemical “biomarkers” in samples taken during ICU care to better understand what happens during mechanical ventilation. It may help future care by identifying signs that could guide safer breathing-machine treatment.
