Noninvasive breathing support for low oxygen levels
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares different non-invasive ways to help you breathe (using a mask or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works better for people with low oxygen levels. It aims to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have low oxygen levels in your blood, but you are not on a breathing tube
- You are currently receiving noninvasive breathing support (mask or high-flow nasal oxygen) or high-flow regular oxygen
- You have not been on this type of breathing support for more than 24 hours
- You do not have long-term lung disease or heart failure causing your breathing problem
- You are not pregnant

This study tests a personalized approach to caring for patients with serious breathing problems who need extra support, like a breathing machine or high-flow oxygen. It aims to make care more tailored and effective.
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 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 study tests two common ways to help people who are having trouble breathing in the emergency room: a face mask that pushes air into the lungs (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) or high-flow oxygen through small tubes in the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen). The goal is to find which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
This trial compares three ways of giving extra oxygen to people with low blood oxygen levels: a face mask with continuous pressure, a noninvasive ventilator, or high-flow oxygen through the nose. The goal is to see which method helps people avoid needing a breathing tube.
This study tests whether inhaling nitric oxide gas can improve how well oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood in people with ARDS who are using noninvasive breathing support like a CPAP or high-flow nasal oxygen. It may help doctors understand if this treatment can improve lung function and potentially reduce the need for a breathing tube.
