NCT ID NCT03943914

First seen May 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tested whether giving breathing support early (non-invasive ventilation and high-flow nasal oxygen) to people with chest injuries and low oxygen levels could prevent them from needing a breathing tube. 144 patients in the ICU took part. The goal was to see if this early approach works better than waiting until breathing gets worse.
