Brain-lung interaction study in acute respiratory failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at how the lung and brain communicate during serious breathing problems. If you are in the ICU with a new breathing issue and need high-flow oxygen therapy, researchers want to study your brain and lung activity together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the last 48 hours.
- You have a new type of breathing failure that needs high-flow oxygen through nasal tubes.
- You have a fast breathing rate (over 25 breaths per minute) or work hard to breathe.
- Your oxygen level is low (PaO2/FiO2 ratio of 200 or less).
- Chest X-ray shows cloudy areas (called alveolar opacities) in one or both lungs.

This study is developing an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to help doctors choose the best treatment for people with sudden breathing failure. It compares patients who need breathing support to those who do not, to find patterns that improve care.
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 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.
This study is testing an existing model (BREF) to see how well it helps doctors make decisions for patients on high-flow oxygen in the intensive care unit. It may help improve care for people needing extra breathing support.
This trial tests whether using a nasal ventilation mask affects how well the brain and lungs work in people who are already on a breathing machine. It is for patients with very low oxygen levels who have been intubated for less than 4 days.
This study measures sleep quality in patients hospitalized in intensive care who need help breathing. Researchers will use EEG (brain wave monitoring) to see if tracking sleep helps improve patient care and outcomes.
