Summary

This study looks at two ways to help people in the ICU who have trouble breathing due to low oxygen levels. It compares using a helmet-like device plus high-flow oxygen through the nose versus high-flow oxygen alone. The goal is to see which approach works better and to gather information for future larger studies. About 200 adults will take part.
