Helmet vs. oxygen: race to keep ICU patients off breathing tubes

NCT ID NCT05078034

Summary

This pilot study is comparing two ways to help adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have severe breathing failure. It tests whether using a special helmet that provides gentle air pressure, along with high-flow oxygen, works better than high-flow oxygen alone. The main goal is to see which method better helps patients avoid needing a breathing tube inserted down their throat.
