High-Flow Oxygen Therapy Following Tracheostomy
NCT03721419 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Respiratory failure patients sometimes receive tracheostomy due to difficulty weaning from mechanical ventilation. Efforts to wean patients with a tracheostomy usually involve the administration of oxygen via High Humidity device. There are two major ways of administering oxygen to patients which include low flow delivered at less than 10Liters per minute (LPM) and high-flow delivered at greater than 10LPM. There is not a currently accepted standard of care practice for how to administer oxygen therapy to these patients. Both Low and High Flow are accepted practices in the US.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03721419
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03721419 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 61 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Barnes-Jewish Hospital, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Acute Respiratory Failure appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which High Flow High Humidity device is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03721419 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Missouri. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
