Predicting oxygen therapy failure using a monitoring device
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a monitoring device to predict if a patient with low oxygen levels will need a breathing tube within 72 hours. It aims to help doctors decide earlier if a patient needs more intensive support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have acute low oxygen levels that require oxygen therapy through nasal prongs.
- You meet one of these high-risk criteria: your oxygen level is low despite oxygen therapy, you are breathing rapidly, you have a high APACHE II score, or you have infiltrates on chest imaging.
- You do not have a neuromuscular disease that affects breathing, are not pregnant, and do not have a pacemaker or chest wounds that prevent the use of the monitoring device.
- You do not have a 'do not intubate' order and your primary problem is not high carbon dioxide levels (unless it's mixed).

This trial tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe and non-invasive monitoring technique, helps doctors set the ventilator better for patients with low oxygen levels. It may improve your breathing support during mechanical ventilation.
This trial tests whether using a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to set the breathing machine's pressure can improve oxygen levels and lung function in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, a serious lung condition.
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 two different oxygen monitors change how much extra oxygen doctors give you during high-flow nasal oxygen therapy. If you are in the ICU and already on this type of oxygen, the researchers want to see if using a different monitor helps keep your oxygen levels stable.
This study tests a new way to measure pressure in your lungs while you receive high-flow oxygen therapy. It may help doctors better understand how to use this treatment in people with heart failure who need extra breathing support.
This study tests if a wearable chest monitor can predict when breathing support (like a mask or nasal prongs) might stop working, so doctors can act faster. It is for hospital patients who need help breathing but are not on a breathing tube.
