Monitoring breathing muscles in respiratory failure patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing muscles in patients who need extra oxygen or breathing support, like a mask or high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors better understand how to treat respiratory failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have acute respiratory failure with low oxygen or high carbon dioxide levels
- You are currently using a breathing support device like high-flow oxygen, CPAP, or BiPAP
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have severe facial injuries, a pacemaker, or need immediate help to breathe

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests different types of noninvasive breathing support (like masks or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works best for patients with low oxygen levels. It may be helpful if you are in the hospital, need extra oxygen, and are not already on a breathing tube.
This study measures electrical activity of the diaphragm and how your breathing system works while you are on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand breathing during recovery after major lung events.
This trial is testing a new way to monitor your breathing while you are on a ventilator, to make it safer. It is for people who need a ventilator for reasons other than lung failure, like after a coma, injury, or severe infection.
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 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 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.
