View clinical trials related to Pulmonary Atelectasis.
Filter by:Pulmonary atelectasis is a frequent respiratory postoperative complication in cardiac surgery. Classically, the treatment of these patients is based on manual chest physiotherapy. Our objective is to evaluate the interest of association of positive end expiratory delivery sessions with the EzPAP® device. We perform a prospective monocentric, open label trial. Patients with atelectasis after scheduled cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass are included. They benefit from manual chest therapy and are randomised to receive or not positive end expiratory pressure sessions twice a day. The primary endpoint is the effect of this treatment on atelectasis radiological score after 2 days of treatment. The secondary endpoints are: oxygen saturation(SpO2)/inspired oxygen(FiO2) ratio, qualitative evaluation of ventilatory function, respiratory & cardiac rate, pain, inspiratory pressure (sniff test), patient satisfaction, duration of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) as a bedside diagnostic tool for lung pathologies in patients who are mechanically ventilated. In electrical impedance tomography low amplitude, low frequency current is applied on electrodes, and the resulting voltage is measured and used to computed the electrical properties of the interior of the chest as they change in time. The computed properties are used to form an image, which can then be used for monitoring and diagnosis.
Atelectasis is common during and after general anesthesia. Atelectasis develops early if preoxygenation with 100% oxygen is used and continuously used during induction until endotracheal intubation. The investigators hypothesize that a rapid anti-preoxygenation maneuver immediately after confirming a successful intubation, reduces the area of atelectasis as investigated by computed tomography compared to a standard procedure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a therapy that uses a machine called a continuous high frequency oscillator (CHFO) is more successful at removing mucus than medications that thin out the mucus.
To compare the effectiveness of unilateral pulmonary collapse (right lung) to bilateral pulmonary collapse for cardiac de-airing in open left-sided heart surgery.
The project aims to study whether the application of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of 4 cm water vapor is a safe method in pulmonary radiofrequency intervention (PRF) lung cancer under conscious sedation compared with placebo. And, assess whether CPAP prevents atelectasis formation and consequently reduces the potential complications of PRF and improves procedural success
The purpose of this study is to determine whether prophylactic nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) improves post-operative pulmonary function following elective bowel surgery. The investigators hypothesize that one hour of nCPAP in the PACU will result in a higher partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) when compared to the standard treatment of low flow oxygen applied by face mask.
The use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and recruitment maneuvers during laparotomy will limit the development of atelectasis and therefore improve the aeration score.
The aim of this study will be to investigate the effects of using physical therapy resources in the postoperative morbidly obese individuals undergoing gastroplasty. It is believed that the application of these various features of physiotherapy after abdominal surgery may contribute differently in restoring lung function and prevention of pulmonary complications and can thus identify the resources that can contribute more effectively in post-operative bariatric surgery.
Evaluate the effect of chest manual compression technique (CCT) in the variables of oxygenation, hemodynamic and respiratory work in infants with respiratory diseases that are associated with atelectasis.
