Personalized care for serious breathing problems
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized approach to caring for patients with serious breathing problems who need extra support, like a breathing machine or high-flow oxygen. It aims to make care more tailored and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe breathing failure that needs non-invasive breathing support, such as a mask or high-flow oxygen.
- You have a nerve or muscle disease and need a tracheostomy and help with breathing through it.
- You are coughing up blood in a life-threatening way and need a procedure to stop it within 24 hours.
- You have a blood clot in your lungs that is high-risk and need close monitoring while on blood thinners.
- You are moving from the intensive care unit to a regular hospital room but still need careful monitoring or special care for breathing or muscle weakness.
- You have lung cancer or a related complication that threatens your life, like severe bleeding, fluid around the lungs or heart, or breathing failure from cancer treatment.

This study compares different non-invasive ways to help you breathe (using a mask or high-flow nasal oxygen) to see which works better for people with low oxygen levels. It aims to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing muscles in patients who need extra oxygen or breathing support, like a mask or high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors better understand how to treat respiratory failure.
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 a more tailored way to set the amount of air delivered by a ventilator in people with severe ARDS. The goal is to see if personalized breathing settings can improve breathing and heart-related monitoring while patients are in intensive care.
This study tests whether a customized breathing machine approach ("precision ventilation") is better than usual care for patients with ARDS. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and recovery while avoiding lung damage.
This trial tests a personalized ventilation method that adjusts how the breathing machine delivers air based on your lung's air and blood flow match. It aims to improve breathing for people with moderate to severe ARDS who are already on a ventilator and will be placed on their stomach.
