Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess innovative treatment methods in patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as well as those at risk of developing ARDS.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the 2mg/kg administration of corticosteroids, in the form of methylprednisolone sodium succinate, in early phase acute respiratory distress syndrome after thoracic surgery, will reduce the postoperative mortality.
The investigators aim to study the effect of different levels of PEEP in ALI/ARDS patients on gas exchange.
To assess rapidly innovative treatment methods in patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome as well as those at risk of developing ARDS.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects in terms of gas exchange, respiratory mechanics and comfort of breathing, of different assisted mechanical ventilation in ALI/ARDS patients.
The investigators aim to compare the respiratory mechanics in acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory diseases syndrome (ARDS) patients with and without pleural effusion.
This research project is an open-label, randomized study for the use of Nitric Oxide in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The study examines whether nitric oxide (NO) treatment impacts the the P:F ratio (arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) divided by fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) in patients with ARDS. The goal of the study is to evaluate whether the order of NO therapy will have any effect on response, and evaluate the characteristics of patients who respond to NO compared to those who do not.
The objective of this study is to analyze by trans-oesophageal echocardiography the effect on the right ventricle of positive expiratory pressure (PEP) level variations with constant plate pressure among patients with syndrome of acute respiratory distress of the adult (SDRA). The assumption tested is that a high level of PEP increases the impedance with the ejection of the right ventricle independently of the level of plate pressure. The effect on the right ventricular preload will be checked via the analysis of the respiratory variability of the diameter of the higher vena cava.
Study of the long term outcomes and economic impact of the pulmonary artery catheter in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS/ALI) patients.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of sivelestat in patients with acute lung injury associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The results will be compared to the study with conventional treatment without sivelestat.
