Summary
This study compares two breathing support methods for adults with pneumonia and low oxygen levels: alternating between a mask that helps breathing (NIV) and high-flow oxygen through the nose (HFO) versus using high-flow oxygen alone. The goal is to see which approach improves oxygen levels and patient comfort better. About 128 participants will be enrolled to help doctors find the best way to support breathing in pneumonia.
