New oxygen device may help patients with lung failure breathe easier during procedure
NCT ID NCT05759832
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a modified high-flow oxygen device in 160 adults with acute respiratory failure who needed a bronchoscopy (a tube inserted into the lungs to diagnose or treat disease). The device delivers oxygen through one nostril while the procedure uses the other. The goal was to see if it reduces the need for more breathing support within 24 hours after the procedure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years; 2. Respiratory failure defined as a ratio of the partial pressure of arterial oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) \<300 mm Hg; 3. Clinical indication for FB to diagnose or treat pulmonary disease. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pre-existing endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy; 2. Required immediate endotracheal intubation; 3. PaO2/FiO2 \<150 mm Hg; 4. Platelet count \<60 × 109/L; 5. History of myocardial infarction within the past 6 weeks; 6. Nasopharyngeal obstruction or blockage; 7. Presence of chest skin lesions contraindicating the application of electrical impedance tomography (EIT); 8. Intolerance to HFNC oxygen therapy.
