New oxygen device may help breathing patients between treatments
NCT ID NCT02389166
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a high-flow oxygen system (Optiflow) works better than a standard oxygen mask for patients with breathing failure. About 100 adults in intensive care who needed non-invasive ventilation (NIV) took part. The goal was to see if Optiflow keeps oxygen levels more stable between NIV sessions.
