To evaluate change of different immune cellsduring ARDS and its impact on prognosis.
The use of esophageal balloon catheter to estimate pleural pressure has gained renewed popularity in recent years. Indeed, measurement of transpulmonary pressure may allow a more pathophysiological-based approach to ventilator strategy in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. Nevertheless, it is well known that esophageal balloon catheter derived parameters can be influenced by several patient-related or technical-related factors. During a PEEP trial, the investigators will observe in-vivo the esophageal pressure and derived measurements obtained using different esophageal balloon calibration volumes.
Paediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a manifestation of severe, life-threatening lung injury. Care for paediatric patient is mainly supportive and based on what works in adults and personal experiences, including the use of mechanical ventilation. However, differences in lung physiology and immunology between (young) children and adults suggests that adaptation of adult practices into paediatrics may not be justified. A study in adults with severe ARDS showed that early use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) improved 90-day survival and increased time off the ventilator without increasing muscle weakness. It is unknown if this is also true for paediatric ARDS
To evaluate the correlation between the value of miRNA related to ARDS and vascular endothelial cell and ARDS severity, vascular endothelial cell damaging degree，mortality in patients with ARDS.
High frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) is a high frequency ventilation mode in which high frequency pulses accumulate to generate a low frequency tidal volume at a controlled airway pressure. Previous studies have suggested a protective effect of HFPV on lung injury. The goal of our study is to compare, in early ARDS patients, the effects of conventional mechanical ventilation and of high frequency percussive ventilation on alveolar recruitment and distension evaluated by CT-scan
The purpose of this piece of research is to assess the effect of altitude on the clinical evolution of ARDS. For this purpose, patients who live and receive care at sea level are compared with those who live and receive care at high altitudes. For reasons of convenience, a cut-point of 1500 meters above sea level was chosen. In addition to this, it will be sought to assess whether adjusting the cut-points for the severity categories of ARDS improves the ability to predict some adverse events, by comparison with unadjusted cut-points. The results of this research will probably be disruptive, and will provide the first information yet about the effect of altitude on ARDS; they will therefore be of great interest for the international scientific community and for the direct care of patients. A high bibliometric impact is to be expected.
First clinical application of an algorithm for individual adjustment of ventilator settings using electrical impedance tomography.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by increased pulmonary vascular permeability and reduced aerated lung tissue. With an extremely high hospital mortality among 35 - 46%, current therapeutic strategies to increase ARDS survival are still limited. Advances in etiology and pathology of ARDS are urging. Numerous genetic variants were identified associated with ARDS outcome. By whole-exome sequencing association study, our goal was to explore the associations between genetic variants and ARDS outcome.
Assessment of right ventricular (RV) function in patients with acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) is warranted because RV failure is frequent and associated with worse outcome. Transthoracic echocardiography is the cornerstone of RV assessment but it remains challenging. Quantification of RV deformation by speckle-tracking imaging echocardiography (STE) is a widely available and reproducible technique that readily provides an integrated analysis of all segments of the RV. This study aims to investigate the accuracy of STE-derived strain parameters in assessing RV function during ARDS.
