High-Flow Oxygen to Help Breathing Tube Patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether high-flow oxygen through a breathing tube helps patients recover faster after tracheostomy (a surgical opening in the windpipe). If you're in the ICU with a tracheostomy and nearly ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help you transition off the ventilator more smoothly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in an ICU with a tracheostomy placed during this hospital stay
- You have been on a breathing machine for 60 days or less
- You have successfully breathed on your own for at least 1 hour (a spontaneous breathing trial)
- Your medical team is not planning comfort-care-only treatment
- You and your doctor both agree to join the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether high-flow tracheal therapy helps manage mucus in patients with a tracheostomy who already use it overnight. It may improve breathing comfort and reduce suctioning needs.
This trial studies two types of high-flow oxygen therapy in people who have a tracheostomy and are breathing on their own. The goal is to see which method helps breathing and oxygen levels better.
This trial tests if high-flow oxygen delivered through a tracheostomy tube can make mucus less sticky and reduce breathing effort while you are being taken off a ventilator. It could help you breathe easier during weaning.
This study tests a special oxygen delivery method through a tracheostomy to help people safely come off a breathing machine. It may be an option if you have a tracheostomy and are ready to wean from the ventilator after more than 48 hours.
This trial tests if adding high-flow oxygen therapy to your usual long-term oxygen therapy can help you breathe better. It is for people with COPD or ILD who use oxygen at home for at least 15 hours a day.
This study tests whether using warm, moist oxygen through a special mask (high-flow oxygen) makes it easier for people to breathe while they are being weaned off a breathing machine in the ICU.
