The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation with helmet in reducing endotracheal intubation rates in comparison with Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV) facemask among patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
This is a pilot study to evaluate the impact of providing patients admitted with acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) with non-invasive ventilation (NIV)home devices prior to discharge on hospital readmission rates and other secondary outcomes. Aim 1 To test whether continuation of NIV at home after being initiated during hospitalization for AECOPD improves subsequent admission-free survival in patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure secondary to COPD Hypothesis 1: The use of targeted NIV during hospitalization with continuation upon discharge to home will improve one-year all-cause mortality as compared to published mortality in the current literature. Hypothesis 2: The use of targeted NIV during hospitalization with continuation upon discharge to home will reduce readmission rates for AECOPD within-institution historical data. Aim 2 To evaluate the feasibility of a larger multisite randomized controlled trial in veterans using inclusion and exclusion criteria specified in this pilot. Outcomes Primary: Event-free survival (re-hospitalization for AECOPD, time to readmission for AECOPD, and all-cause mortality) Secondary: 1. Unplanned readmission rates (all complications) 2. Time to readmissions for admissions other than AECOPD. 3. Arterial blood gas/Venous blood gas (ABG/VBG): PaO2, PaCO2 and serum bicarbonate at Baseline, 6 and 12 months 4. Pulmonary function (handheld spirometer or in-laboratory based on specific institution resources) at Baseline, 6, and 12 months 5.6 minute walk test at Baseline, 6,and 12 months 6.Health related quality of life (HRQOL) measured by the St. Georges respiratory questionnaires (SGRQ) at Baseline, 1,3,6,9 and 12 months 7.Adherence to NIV at Week 1-2, Months 1,3,6,9 and 12 8.Sleep assessed by type 3 portable monitors 9.Sleep assessed by questionnaires: Insomnia severity index (ISI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Functional Outcomes of Sleep Short Form (FOSQ-10) at Baseline, 1,3,6,9 and 12 months 11.Utilization of healthcare services (number of visits to outpatient clinics and emergency services, number of inpatient admissions)
Mechanical ventilation was introduced to treat respiratory failure in preterm infants or sick neonates then improvements in survival (1,2). However, the complications from short or long term use of ventilation can result in unintended harm or burden (e.g., air leak syndrome, pneumonia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, neurological injury, retinopathy of prematurity) (3,4). To reduce these risks, clinicians should aggressive extubated neonates as early as possible. Respiratory (focus on blood gas as well as partial pressure CO2 [pCO2]) or extubation (focus on clinical condition as well as reintubation) failure was worrisome in pediatrician and parents if the neonate was reintubated owing to complete recovery of lung disease or inadequate respiratory drive. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) was supported for primary respiratory support (initial mode before endotracheal intubation) or post-extubation. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) was familiar to NIV mode in neonatal respiratory support. Nowadays, the new NIV modalities are nasal intermittent synchronized positive pressure ventilation (nSIPPV) and nasal high frequency oscillation (nHFO). To increase the likelihood of nCPAP success, other new modalities of NIV may be interesting. From theory, nSIPPV and nHFO combines peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) with synchrony and high-frequency oscillations without synchrony above CPAP, respectively. From meta-analysis, nSIPPV and nHFO were statistically significant superior than nCPAP both respiratory and extubation failure in neonate (5,6). The aim of our study was to investigate the efficacy of nHFOV and nSIPPV for CO2 clearance and reintubation rate after extubated neonates. The investigators hypothesized that nHFOV mode would improve CO2 clearance better than nSIPPV mode.
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used for supporting preterm infants with respiratory distress in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and the incidence for nasal injury including skin redness or breakdown associated with pressure from the nasal interfaces is found in infants receiving this support. Risk is found higher in preterm infants than term infants due to the smaller gestation age and lower birth weight. Thus, the study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate an evidence-based practice guideline (the guideline) for preterm infants receiving NIV in the NICU. With the implementation of this guideline, it helps to promote comfort to infants receiving NIV, and at the same time to minimize complications associated with NIV.
Patients being treated with non-invasive home mechanical ventilation (NIV) may experience morning dyspnea after each night of NIV use, when the therapy is abruptly ended. This study aims to show that dyspnea intensity can be significantly reduced by a gentle NIV therapy end, delivered by a continuously decreasing pressure level (inverse pressure ramp) after therapy end in the morning, a feature called softSTOPP, which can configured in prismaVENT NIV devices. This could also improve therapy adherence.
Pars plana vitrectomy is minimally invasive endoscopic procedure which is usually performed in moderate analgo-sedation given by anesthesiologist combined with topical anesthesia and retrobulbar or Subtenon block performed by surgeon. Intravenously applied anesthetics can often lead to slower breathing rate or cessation of breathing which introduces risk of low blood oxygen level despite careful adjustment of anesthetics' dose and application of standard low-flow nasal oxygenation (LFNO). Respiratory instability is often accompanied by circulatory instability manifested by disturbances of heart rate and blood pressure. LFNO provides maximally 40% inspired fraction of oxygen and can cause discomfort of a patient due to coldness and dryness of inspired gas. On the other hand, high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) can bring up to 100% of inspired oxygen fraction to patient, providing noninvasive pressure support of 3-7 cmH2O in patients' upper airway which ensures better oxygenation especially in higher anesthesia risk patients. Because of carrying warmed and humidified air/oxygen mixture via soft nasal cannula, HFNO is better tolerated by patients. In this trial investigators will compare effect of HFNO to LFNO during intravenously applied standardized analgo-sedation given for vitrectomy in normal weight patients of low and high anesthesia risk. Investigators hypothesize that normal weight patients of low and high anesthesia risk, whose breathing pattern is preserved, receiving HFNO vs. LFNO during standardized analgo-sedation for vitrectomy will be more respiratory and circulatory stable, preserving normal blood O2 and CO2 level, breathing pattern, heart rate and blood pressure.
Background: Non-invasive ventilation at home for chronic respiratory failure due to different etiologies has proven effective regarding mortality and quality of life. Nonetheless, adherence to therapy still constitutes a clinical day-to-day problem. Physiological monitoring has shown to improve adherence. We hypothesise that an additional behavioural intervention delivered via mHealth tools, on top of usual care, can further enhance therapeutical success alongside patient satisfaction. Methods: Randomized single-blinded controlled trial with an intervention and control groups. Intervention will consist of a multi-component based behavioural intervention delivered via a mHealth tool, during a three-month period. Primary objective will be change in self-efficacy towards non-invasive ventilation use Statistical Analysis: Based on a change of 0.5 units in the Self Efficacy in Sleep apnea (SEMSA) questionnaire, a sample size of 30 subjects per study arm was calculated. It has been anticipated a drop-out rate of 5%. Standard statistical analysis will take place. Expected results: we expect a positive change on the SEMSA score (reflecting better self-efficacy) after three-month use. Indirectly, this enhancement should facilitate patient adherence specifically via mask leak problems resolution. Also, we presume that the proposed mHealth tool will be highly usable and accepted by the patients, leading to overall satisfaction with the service provided.
Mask ventilation is fundamental to airway management at the start of surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia. For general anesthesia, medications are provided that affect the entire body and lead to a loss of consciousness. Medical professionals perform mask ventilation by placing a plastic mask over a subjects mouth and nose to provide enough oxygen for the placement of a breathing tube. In this study, we expect that a 45 degree rotation of the head will increase the efficiency of mask ventilation.
