INTRODUCTION: Neurological Chronic disease leads to motor disability and associated pathologies. Numerous studies agree that the lack of prevention and treatment in pulmonary health in children with disabilities results in increased morbidity and mortality, increased medical care and costs in care, and, for patients and their caregivers, decrease in their quality of life OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to assess if children with chronic neurological disease and respiratory disease benefit from airway clearance techniques and postural hygiene workshops to optimize their respiratory status and quality of life. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Multicenter experimental study before-after with intervention of chest therapy and workshops of postural hygiene in 30 children from 0 to 6 years with chronic neurological affectation and respiratory complications. Respiratory clinical variables, volume of expectorated secretions, PedsQL pediatric quality of life questionnaires were evaluated and the number of exacerbations due to respiratory complications was recorded.
Objectives: To compare the perioperative respiratory adverse events between using laryngeal mask airway and endotracheal tube in preterm neonates receiving general anesthesia for hernia surgery.
The measurement of the inspired / expired fractions in O2 and CO2 is part of the daily monitoring of the intubated-ventilated patient in the operating theater. The ratio of VCO2 to VO2 (respiratory quotient (RQ)) is a non-invasive indirect measure of anaerobic metabolism of the patient, and an indirect reflection of tissue perfusion. We hypothesize that a hemodynamic optimization in major surgery individualized by non-invasive continuous measurement of the RQ would optimize TaO2 more specifically by informing us about the installation of a VO2 dependence, and therefore of an anaerobic metabolism. Patients are randomized in 2 groups : Control group: hemodynamic management of patients is done according to usual practices by maintenance of blood pressure by norepinephrine as well as optimization of Systolic Voume (SV) by vascular filling and use of dobutamine if necessary. Experimental group: perioperative hemodynamic management is based on an algorithm that includes RQ measurement and includes volume expansion, norepinephrine, FiO2 enhancement, RBC transfusion and dobutamine. Primary and secondary outcomes are recorded 1,2,7 and 30 days after the surgery.
Background Mechanical assistance cough for patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD) are known, but there is no adaptation model established. Currently is performed subjectively by the physiotherapist following the pressures recommended in the current literature as optimal (±40CmH2O). To check is these pressures are the most optimal pressures to achieve the better peak cough flow (PCF) monitoring cough assist (Mechanical insuffllation-exsuflattion MI-E) maneuvers and analyzing pressure- flow / time curves Adults with MI-E criteria (PCFbaseline <160 l /min). A pneumotachograph, PeakAnalysis software and nasobucal mask were used to monitor and analyze flow/time curves. Protocol included 9 PCF values in each patient: 1 baseline, 4 related with inspiratory pressure in sequential increase of 10 cmH2O (10 to 40 cmH2O) and 4 adding expiratory pressures (±10 to ±40cmH2O)
The purpose of this prospective, randomized study was to compare the incidence of adverse events associated with removal of the LMA either in deeply anesthetised or awake patients.
Postoperative observation of patients is based on the Early Warning Score (EWS). By using continuous wireless monitoring of vital parameters it may be possible to predict the risk of complications after abdominal cancer surgery. The object of this pilot study is to test the equipment and methods for the next phases. Patients will be monitored for 4 days postoperatively and data is analyzed retrospectively. Vital parameters are monitored with ECG, blood pressure monitor and pulseoximetry. In the analysis the investigators will compare the results from the continuous monitoring to the measurements made by the nurses and registered in the EWS. The primary outcomes for the pilot study are the frequency of measurements resulting in a single parameter score of 3 according to the EWS algorithm.
Does the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, and aortic cross clamping affects the post operative pulmonary function.
This study evaluates the local cytokine inflammatory response during one lung ventilation in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy or wedge resection. We compare two different ventilation strategies: a conventional strategy with a protective strategy.
Postoperative (PO) hypoventilation, atelectasis and hypoxemia after bariatric surgery are common and multifactorial, contributing to prolonged oxygen (O2) therapy after surgery and even at hospital discharge. Incentive spirometry (IS) is recommended postoperatively but its success in preventing postoperative atelectasis and hypoxemia (POH) heavily depends on patient compliance with IS effort and frequency. The investigators hypothesize that a focused education preoperatively on IS for POH and intensive monitoring of patient compliance with IS therapy in the early postoperative period shortens postoperative oxygen therapy, decreases POH episodes, and improves respiratory outcomes after bariatric surgery, compared to patients receiving standard of care.
