New study aims to personalize care for breathing failure patients
NCT ID NCT07178483
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 500 patients with severe breathing failure due to pneumonia who are using a non-invasive breathing mask. Researchers will measure their energy needs, muscle function, and blood markers to identify different patient types. The goal is to better understand how to tailor nutrition and physical therapy, potentially reducing the need for a breathing tube.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could lead to personalized nutrition and physical therapy plans for patients with breathing failure, potentially reducing the need for invasive breathing tubes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, so it will not directly test a treatment. The findings may not lead to immediate changes in care, and the measurements may be difficult to apply in routine hospital settings.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Moderate-to-severe Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (PaO2 /FiO2 \< 200mmHg) due to respiratory infection who underwent NIV support for at least 24h. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of electrical implants, wounds or skin damage at the designated electrode sites or the inability to perform BIA. * Patients who met criteria for immediate intubation upon ICU admission were also excluded. * Other circumstances or clinical conditions at the discretion of the investigator that precluded the participation of the patient in the study were also considered (i.e., limitation of therapeutic effort and poor prognosis).
