Hospital transports under High-Flow oxygen: how safe are they?
NCT ID NCT05311007
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 175 critically ill adults who needed to be moved within the hospital while on high-flow nasal oxygen. The goal was to see how often serious problems like low oxygen or needing a breathing tube happened during transport. The findings could help make these moves safer for patients.
