Using heart rate to guide oxygen therapy settings
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a simple, non-invasive test (heart rate monitoring) to help doctors adjust the flow of oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula. It may help improve how well this breathing support works for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are currently receiving high-flow nasal cannula therapy (a breathing support that delivers warm, moist oxygen through your nose at a high flow rate).
- You are not getting oxygen at a very high concentration (90% or more).
- You do not have a pacemaker or atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat).
- You have not had heart surgery recently.
- You do not have any medical implants, burns, or chest wounds that would prevent placing monitoring stickers on your chest.

This trial tests whether showing nurses their own heart rate data can help them make better decisions during patient care. It aims to improve recovery support for patients.
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 tests whether high-flow oxygen delivered through the nose, combined with non-invasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe without a tube down your throat), can help patients with sudden severe breathing problems. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
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.
This study tests whether breathing high-flow oxygen through a nasal tube during exercise helps people with heart failure exercise longer and feel better. Researchers will compare how well patients do with and without this extra oxygen during cardiac rehabilitation.
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.
