High-Flow Oxygen Therapy Weaning Protocols for Respiratory Failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two different approaches to gradually reducing high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (a breathing support treatment delivered through your nose) in patients with acute respiratory failure. The goal is to find the best way to safely stop this treatment and transition you to breathing on your own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You have acute respiratory failure (your lungs aren't getting enough oxygen on their own)
- You've been receiving high-flow nasal therapy for at least 24 hours
- You don't have a tracheostomy (breathing tube in your throat) or recently had a breathing tube removed
- Your blood pH and carbon dioxide levels are within acceptable ranges (no severe respiratory acidosis)

This trial studies how well oxygen therapy works for people with long-term lung or heart conditions who have sudden breathing problems. It aims to find the best way to monitor breathing at home to improve care.
This trial tests different types of noninvasive breathing support (like masks or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works best for patients with low oxygen levels. It may be helpful if you are in the hospital, need extra oxygen, and are not already on a breathing tube.
This study tests a step-by-step plan to safely reduce and stop high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy in adults who are stable enough to start weaning. It may help you breathe on your own sooner.
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 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 trial tests four different methods to safely take patients off a high-flow oxygen device (HVNI) after they have improved from low oxygen levels. The goal is to find the best approach to help you breathe on your own again.
