Breathing support during patient transport
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well different types of breathing support work when patients are moved between places, like in an ambulance or within a hospital. It aims to improve safety and quality of care during these trips.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being moved from one place to another for medical care, like from home to hospital or between hospitals.
- You are receiving extra oxygen through a mask or small tubes in your nose, or you are on a breathing machine.
- The medical team taking care of you decides what kind of breathing support you need.
- The study team can collect the necessary information about your transport, and you or your legal representative agree to participate if required.

This study looks at why some patients with acute respiratory failure do not improve with non-invasive breathing support like high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV). It aims to find patterns that might predict when these treatments are not enough.
This study is looking at ways to improve non-invasive ventilation, which is breathing support given without a breathing tube. You may be invited if you’re already receiving this kind of support and you agree to take part.
This study compares different ways to support breathing in patients who need a ventilator in the cardiac intensive care unit. It aims to find the best approach for people with certain heart conditions, like cardiogenic shock or heart failure.
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 compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
This study tests two common ways to help people who are having trouble breathing in the emergency room: a face mask that pushes air into the lungs (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) or high-flow oxygen through small tubes in the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen). The goal is to find which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
