High-flow oxygen during breathing tube removal test
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using warm, moist oxygen at a high flow rate during the breathing tube removal test can make breathing easier for patients who are at risk of having trouble after the tube is removed. It may help reduce the effort needed to breathe and improve the chances of successful removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 48 hours.
- You are considered at higher risk for breathing tube removal failure because you are over 65, or have a chronic lung or heart condition.
- You are ready for a breathing test (weaning trial) - meaning you are awake, have a good cough, and your oxygen levels are stable.
- You have an arterial line (a small tube in your artery) for blood sampling.
- A family member can sign the consent form for you.

This study tests different ways to give oxygen after a breathing tube is removed, to see which method helps patients with low oxygen levels recover better. It aims to find the safest and most effective approach to support breathing during this critical time.
This study tests whether giving oxygen through a small tube in your windpipe during a breathing test helps you breathe more comfortably and successfully. It aims to improve how doctors decide if you are ready to breathe without the ventilator.
This trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask during placement of a breathing tube helps patients with severe breathing problems in the ICU. It aims to make intubation safer and improve oxygen levels.
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 two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
This study is testing a simple way to measure how well you breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator in the ICU. It helps doctors decide the best time to safely remove the breathing tube.
