Nurse-led care for COPD flare-ups in the hospital
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether special care from a nurse can help people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up breathe better and recover faster. It may be a good fit if you are 40 or older, have moderate or worse shortness of breath, and are stable enough for the nursing program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
- You are 40 years old or older.
- You are currently in the hospital because your COPD suddenly got worse (a flare-up).
- Your shortness of breath is at least moderate (Grade 2 or higher on a standard scale).
- You are stable enough to take part (your blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels are within safe ranges).

This trial studies a coordinated (multidisciplinary) care program for people with severe COPD who were recently hospitalized for worsening breathing symptoms. It may help reduce future flare-ups and improve day-to-day breathing by coordinating multiple types of care in a COPD center.
This trial tests a new way to diagnose and treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) flare-ups (sudden worsening of symptoms). It aims to help people who come to the emergency room with a COPD flare-up get better care and follow-up.
This trial is looking at patients with a serious worsening of their chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who need intensive care. It aims to gather information to help improve treatment for these severe episodes.
This study looks at a new strategy to help people recover from COPD flare-ups (also called exacerbations) after they arrive at the hospital. It may help by improving oxygen support and overall management during a short, early hospital stay.
This research looks back at hospital records of people with a COPD flare-up who received breathing support. The goal is to find the best ways to use oxygen and breathing machines for future patients.
This trial tests whether a special type of oxygen delivered through the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen) helps people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up. It is likely meant for people with significant breathing problems and recent repeat flare-ups.
