Heated humidified oxygen during lung tube exam for COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen device through the nose (called HFNC) can help people with COPD breathe more comfortably during a bronchoscopy, a procedure where a thin tube is placed into the airways to examine the lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have COPD (a chronic lung disease).
- You must be in generally good health (classified as ASA I–III by your doctor).
- You cannot have any reason that would make a bronchoscopy unsafe for you.
- You must not have frequent nosebleeds.

This study tests whether a special nasal breathing device (nasal high flow) can help people with COPD exercise longer and more comfortably. It compares the device to standard low-flow oxygen or no oxygen at all.
This trial tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for people with COPD who are in the hospital using a nasal high-flow device. It may help keep your oxygen levels stable without needing constant adjustments.
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 study looks at how a breathing treatment called nasal high-flow therapy affects lung function over time in people with severe COPD. You'll use a device that delivers warm, moist air through small tubes in your nose while the researchers monitor your breathing. This might help open your airways and make it easier to breathe.
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen through a special nasal tube (high-flow nasal cannula) helps patients with COPD breathe more safely during a sedated endoscopy procedure, compared to usual oxygen delivery. It aims to reduce breathing problems during the procedure and improve overall safety.
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.
