Predicting Treatment Success for High-Flow Oxygen Support
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are in the ICU with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (difficulty getting enough oxygen into your blood)
- You are receiving high-flow nasal cannula (a tube delivering oxygen at higher rates than standard oxygen)
- You joined the study within 24 hours of starting high-flow oxygen
- You or your legal representative can provide informed consent
- You do not have an active do-not-resuscitate order limiting your medical treatment

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a scoring system (ROX Index) to help decide the best timing to place a breathing tube (intubate) for adults who are struggling to get enough oxygen while using nasal high-flow (NHF). The goal is to see if using this timing approach can improve care for acute lung failure in the ICU.
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.
This trial looks at how a test might help evaluate adults who come to the emergency room with a brand-new, sudden breathing problem that needs high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors identify what’s going on faster and guide care in the early hours.
This study tests two types of breathing support—CPAP (a mask that pushes air into your lungs) and high-flow nasal oxygen (a special tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help you breathe more easily without needing a breathing tube.
This trial tests two ways to measure if non-invasive breathing support (a high-flow nasal cannula or a face mask) will work for patients with respiratory failure. The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment sooner.
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.
