Hyperoxia effects on brain blood flow in ICU patients
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial studies how giving extra oxygen (hyperoxia) affects blood flow in the brain for patients on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if short bursts of higher oxygen levels are safe and how they change brain activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older and in the intensive care unit.
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) for less than 72 hours.
- You have a small tube in your artery to monitor blood pressure continuously.
- Your carbon dioxide level in the blood is between 35 and 45 mmHg (a normal range).
- You are able to get a clear ultrasound signal through your temple to measure brain blood flow.
- Your doctor thinks it's safe for you to receive a short increase in oxygen.

This study checks if a new blood test (measuring carbon dioxide differences between veins and arteries) can help doctors better treat people with a severe infection in a high-pressure oxygen chamber. It is for critically ill patients already on life support.
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 giving a little more oxygen to ICU patients on breathing machines leads to better recovery. It compares usual oxygen levels to a more liberal target to see which is safer and more effective.
This study tests whether a high-flow oxygen device works better than the usual (standard) oxygen for people admitted to the hospital with low blood oxygen. The goal is to see if high-flow oxygen can help you breathe easier and improve oxygen levels faster.
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.
This trial tests a closed-loop system that automatically adjusts the oxygen level in your breathing tube, aiming to keep your oxygen levels in a safe range with less need for manual changes. It may help if you are in the ICU, need a breathing machine, and have low blood oxygen despite receiving extra oxygen.
