Breathing machine vs. face mask: can it save drowning victims from a breathing tube?

NCT ID NCT06183827

First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study compares two ways to help people who have low oxygen after drowning: a breathing machine (CPAP) that pushes air into the lungs, versus a standard face mask with extra oxygen. The goal is to see if the machine can improve oxygen levels enough to avoid needing a breathing tube. The study includes 210 people aged 1 and older who are treated by emergency services at the scene.
