A step-by-step guide to safely reduce oxygen support
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a step-by-step plan to safely reduce oxygen support in adults who have been using a high-flow nasal cannula for breathing problems. The goal is to find the best way to wean patients off oxygen when they are stable, which might help them recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You've been on high-flow nasal cannula (a type of oxygen therapy) for at least 12 hours.
- You started high-flow oxygen because of low oxygen levels and increased effort to breathe.
- You are stable enough to start reducing the oxygen support safely.
- You do not have high carbon dioxide levels in your blood, are not on a breathing tube, and are not using a breathing machine like ECMO.

This trial is testing a way to safely reduce high-flow oxygen therapy for patients in the ICU who have low oxygen levels. It might help find the right time to stop this treatment.
This study helps doctors predict which patients receiving high-flow oxygen through a nasal tube will need additional breathing support. Researchers use blood tests and clinical information to identify who might need a ventilator, allowing earlier interventions if needed.
This study tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts the amount of oxygen you receive, to help you safely reduce oxygen support. It may make the weaning process smoother and faster.
This trial tests a system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy. The goal is to see if it can keep oxygen levels in a safe range better than usual care.
This trial studies a continuous negative external pressure device (a “cuirass” that helps breathing) for people with sudden, severe low oxygen levels. It aims to see whether the device improves breathing and oxygen levels without needing immediate intubation.
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.
