Respiratory failure

This study tested a device called FreeO2 that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for people hospitalized with a COPD flare-up. The goal was to see if it could shorten hospital stays compared to manual oxygen adjustment by staff. Only 17 people took part, and the study was stoppe…

This trial investigates whether removing the chest tube during thoracoscopic lung surgery, instead of leaving it in place afterward, leads to less pain and faster recovery. Participants undergoing elective wedge resection are randomly assigned to have the tube removed during surg…

This study compared two types of non-invasive breathing support for people with sudden breathing failure who are obese or have sleep apnea. One machine automatically adjusts pressure and volume, while the other uses a fixed pressure setting. The goal was to see which method clear…

This study tested a negative pressure vest (Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation) to see if it works as well as standard breathing masks for patients hospitalized with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (high carbon dioxide levels). The trial planned to enroll 50 adults, but it was te…

This study tested a device that delivers warm, moist air through the nose to help people with breathing failure who did not have too much acid in their blood. The goal was to see if it could prevent their condition from getting worse. Only 16 people took part, and the study was s…

This trial tests two new devices, NivolisMonitor and NivolisAnton, designed for people who use breathing support at home, such as non-invasive ventilation or high-flow nasal oxygen. NivolisMonitor measures breathing parameters like pressure, flow, and oxygen levels, while Nivolis…

This study aimed to see if skipping a type of muscle relaxant during general anesthesia could lower the risk of serious lung complications in high-risk surgery patients. The trial was terminated early after enrolling only 3 participants, so no meaningful conclusions can be drawn.…

This study tested if a special measurement called transpulmonary pressure could help obese patients with breathing failure get off ventilators sooner. Only 4 people took part before the study was stopped early. The goal was to reduce time on the ventilator and lower risks like in…

This study tested a special band called AirGo to monitor breathing patterns in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure. The goal was to see if the band could detect early signs of worsening breathing, helping doctors decide when to use a breathing tube. The study …

This study looked at two different ways to use a breathing machine (ventilator) for patients in the intensive care unit who have dangerously low oxygen levels. The goal was to measure pressure inside the lungs with each method to see which might be safer or more effective. The st…
