Depth camera could guide oxygen therapy and prevent intubation in respiratory failure
NCT ID NCT06819644
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether adjusting the flow rate of high-flow oxygen therapy based on lung volume measurements from a depth camera can reduce the need for intubation in intensive care patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure. About 406 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard high-flow oxygen or a strategy where the flow rate is tailored using the camera's lung volume readings. The main goal is to see if this personalized approach lowers the rate of intubation within 28 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- high-flow oxygen therapy with flow rate adjustment guided by depth camera lung volume measurements
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation in intensive care patients with breathing failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single trial testing a new technique; results may not apply to all patients, and the depth camera method may not improve outcomes over standard care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with hypoxemic respiratory distress define by the following 4 criteria: * Respiratory rate ≥ 25 breaths per minutes * A ratio of the partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) to the FiO2 ≤ 300 mmHg while the patient is breathing oxygen at a flow rate of 10 liters per minutes or more * A partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) not higher than 45 mmHg * An absence of clinical history of underlying chronic respiratory failure Exclusion Criteria: * A do-not-intubate order * Pregnant or lactating woman * Cardiogenic pulmonary edema * Exacerbation of asthma * Hemodynamic instability with use of vasopressor at significant dose (norepinephrine \> 0.5 mg/h) * A Glasgow Coma Scale of 12 points of less * Contraindications to non-invasive ventilation * Urgent need for endotracheal intubation * High flow oxygen therapy started within 48 hours before inclusion * Patient under legal protection or deprived of liberty
