• Weaning HFNC: When to Stop High-Flow Oxygen in Acute Respiratory Failure

  This study tests a protocol to guide when to stop high-flow nasal therapy in adults with acute respiratory failure who are already on HFNC.

  Recruiting University of Milan · Milan, Lombardy and 1 other locations · NCT07638293

• Monitoring breathing muscle function in ARF patients on non-invasive support

  This study tests whether advanced breathing-muscle monitoring can help care teams manage adults with acute respiratory failure who are on non-invasive respiratory support.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Queen Mary University of London · London and 1 other locations · NCT07423338

• Comparing 3D/2D electrical impedance tomography and the R/I ratio to measure lung recruitability during mechanical ventilation

  This test tries to see if two imaging methods (3D and 2D electrical impedance tomography) and a pressure-based recruitment-to-inflation (R/I) ratio give consistent estimates of how much the lungs can be recruited in sedated adults on mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure.

  Recruiting Peking Union Medical College Hospital · Beijing, Beijing Municipality · NCT07379242

• Bedside measurement of lung collapse and reopening in people on invasive mechanical ventilation

  This project will try using ventilator-recorded pressure and volume data to measure how much lung tissue opens with inhalation and then collapses again with exhalation in people on passive invasive mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure.

  Recruiting Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia · Pavia, Pavia · NCT07265882

• Home oxygen with high-flow therapy vs standard oxygen for chronic lung and heart disease

  In people with long-term lung or heart conditions who need oxygen after leaving the hospital, the study tests whether a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) can improve breathing comfort and quality of life compared with standard oxygen therapy.

  Recruiting Università degli Studi di Ferrara · Ferrara, Italy · NCT07157696

• Music therapy to ease pain during noninvasive ventilation in children

  This trial will try using a structured music program to lower pain and improve comfort for children (0–17) who are starting noninvasive ventilation in the pediatric intensive care unit.

  Recruiting University Hospital, Montpellier · Montpellier · NCT06848218

• Assessing Diaphragm Activity and Breathing Mechanics During NAVA Ventilation

  This study is testing if a special type of breathing support called NAVA can help lung transplant patients breathe better and protect their lungs while they recover in the ICU.

  Recruiting University of Padova · Padova, Italy · NCT05689476
