High-flow oxygen through tracheostomy for ventilator weaning
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tracheostomy tube.
- You are ready to start coming off the breathing machine after being on it for more than 2 days.
- Your blood oxygen levels have been low while on the machine.
- You are not expected to need the machine long-term.
- You do not have a muscle or nerve disease, and you are not already dependent on a ventilator at home.

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 study compares two ways of giving oxygen (high-flow through the nose vs. a T-piece) to help patients come off a breathing machine safely. It aims to see which method works better during a test of your ability to breathe on your own.
If you are on a breathing machine in the ICU and ready to try breathing on your own, this study looks at how much oxygen your body uses during that test. It may help doctors better understand when you are ready to come off the ventilator.
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 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.
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.
