Controlled oxygen for copd flare-ups in the icu
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving oxygen in a carefully controlled way (using a target range) works better than standard oxygen treatment for people in the ICU with a COPD flare-up. It aims to see if the controlled approach leads to better outcomes, like helping you recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years of age or older.
- You have a COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) diagnosis.
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) because your COPD suddenly got worse.
- You have not been put on a breathing tube (intubated) before starting the study.
- You do not have severe heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction below 30%).

This study tests whether high-flow nasal oxygen (a gentle breathing support through the nose) can help people with a severe COPD flare-up. If you have high carbon dioxide and slightly acidic blood, this treatment might improve your breathing and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
This trial compares two non-invasive breathing treatments—one that pushes air in, and one that helps you breathe out—to see which one helps people with COPD recover faster during a flare-up.
This trial tests whether giving oxygen in a standard way or a more targeted way helps people who are having a COPD flare-up before they reach the hospital. It may help reduce oxygen-related harms while still treating low oxygen during emergency care.
This trial is looking at patients with a serious worsening of their chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who need intensive care. It aims to gather information to help improve treatment for these severe episodes.
This study tests whether using a special oxygen device at home helps prevent another acute COPD flare after you’ve been hospitalized. It’s mainly for people with severe breathing problems who may need oxygen support long-term.
This trial tests whether a special type of oxygen delivered through the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen) helps people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up. It is likely meant for people with significant breathing problems and recent repeat flare-ups.
