This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After you're taken off a breathing machine in the ICU, your lungs need extra support while they recover. This study is testing whether using two types of non-invasive breathing support — a mask-based system (NIV) alternating with a high-flow nasal tube — works better than using the high-flow tube alone to prevent your lungs from failing again in people with severe obesity.
People with severe obesity are at higher risk of their lungs failing again after the breathing tube is removed, which can mean going back on the machine or staying longer in the ICU. Early research suggests that combining two types of breathing support might prevent this, but doctors need to test this more carefully.

After your breathing tube is removed, you'll be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will use a mask-based breathing support alternating with a high-flow nasal tube for 24 hours; the other group will use only the high-flow nasal tube. Doctors will monitor your breathing, oxygen levels, and how well you recover during this 24-hour period and beyond.
