Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell injection in patients with Mild to Moderate Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), and to further explore the efficacy, pharmacodynamic profile and appropriate dose of administration to provide a basis for the use of safer and more effective treatments for patients with Mild to Moderate Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Participants are required to sign an informed consent form and, after undergoing a series of tests and meeting the protocol's entry and exclusion criteria, are assigned to a dose group for intravenous infusion of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Each subject will receive three infusions.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and clinical activity of Itolizumab in subjects with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by Infectious Pneumonia.
Teleconsultation, or the use of video telecommunications technology to deliver expert recommendations for care remotely, has been used to improve the safety and quality of emergency care for children in hospital-based acute care settings by providing real-time access to remote pediatric physician experts. Whether extending teleconsultation as a patient safety intervention to emergency medical systems (EMS) outside hospitals can similarly benefit sick and injured children in the community is unknown. Advances in mobile technology have made teleconsultation more accessible and affordable for EMS systems. However, this intervention has been underutilized by EMS partially due to the lack of prehospital research supporting its efficacy for pediatric applications. In prior simulation studies, the investigators found high intervention acceptance among key stakeholder groups (pediatric emergency physicians and paramedics), and demonstrated that it was feasible to integrate video communication into prehospital clinical workflows involving critical care delivery in high-risk pediatric scenarios. These initial simulation studies were conducted in a controlled prehospital setting in static ambulances using infant simulator manikins to minimize risk to children and providers. Demonstrating feasibility and acceptability with real children in moving ambulances is the next step to build the necessary evidence base to support future planned prehospital efficacy trials with children. The investigators hypothesize that remote respiratory assessment of children by medical control physicians (expert physicians) using a mobile teleconsultation platform is acceptable to users (physicians and transport providers), and technically feasible in real transports.
In the past many neonates with respiratory distress syndrome would require intubation, but over the years these rates have declined as the capabilities of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) have vastly improved. Despite these improvements, the decrease in pressure transmission due to factors such as resistance from tubing or air leaks around the nostrils and mouth, continues to be one of the major drawbacks when using nasal NIV. Current ventilators measure the set pressures at the circuit but do not capture the delivered pressure at the patient's nares. Recently, Medtronic PB980 ventilators feature NIV plus and leak sync software that can be calibrated to measure the pressures provided at the nostrils. Optimum pressures received at the nostrils to provide safe and effective therapy in neonates is currently unknown. In the prospective portion of the study, we aim to evaluate safety and efficacy of the software by comparing the average pressure difference between the circuit and delivery pressure at the nares, the incidence of apnea, bradycardia, desaturations as well as escalation and de-escalation of ventilator support in newborns who are receiving NIV admitted to NICU
Premature infants are more likely to develop hypoxemia after birth often requiring invasive and Non-Invasive Mechanical ventilation and surfactant therapy to improve alveolar gas exchange and oxygen transport. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to detect pulmonary regional oxygen saturation (rpSO 2 ) as well as cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rcSO2 ) and evaluate the oxygenation state of the lung and brain. This is a prospective observational study to evaluate utility of rpSO2 and compare it with rcSO2 in preterm infants born between 23-32 weeks of gestation receiving noninvasive ventilation and surfactant treatment. Enrolled patients will be continuously studied with placement of NIRS monitor using cerebral sensor (INVOS™) for 6 hrs and 15 min before and after surfactant administration. Pulmonary regional oxygen saturation (rpSO2) with a sampling interval of 6 s will be followed for 6hrs.
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of Infasurf® administered through the InfasurfAero™, a novel oral airway delivery device specifically designed to give Infasurf in a less complicated way and without the need for a breathing tube or interrupting nasal respiratory support.
The goal of this study is to better understand in changes in lung compliance as indicated by driving pressure (a non-invasive marker) following changes in positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP; a standard of care ventilator parameter). The main question it aims to answer is: The time to stability of driving pressure after a change in PEEP is made Type of study: observational study participant population/health conditions Participants will undergo a "best PEEP trial" which is a standard intensive care intervention for patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. This involves changing the patient's PEEP and looking for response in driving pressure. This will be done in a more protocolized format and data will be collected.
PRactice of Ventilation and Adjunctive Therapies in COVID-19 Patients. An observational study of ventilation practice and adjunctive therapies in critically ill, invasively ventilated COVID-19 patients during the first and second surge of COVID-19 in the Netherlands.
The aim of this study is to identify existing definitions and therapeutic approaches for acute right ventricular injury (RVI) in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory support. The objective of the study is to generate expert consensus statements on the definition and management of acute RVI in this high-risk patient population, using a Delphi method. The standardised RVI definition during ECMO for respiratory support and a consensus-based management approach to RVI will facilitate systematic aggregation of data across clinical trials to harmonise patient selection and compare therapeutic interventions.
BTI-203 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, Phase 2 proof-of-concept (POC) study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rhu-pGSN plus standard of care (SOC) in subjects with moderate-to-severe ARDS (P/F ratio ≤150) due to pneumonia or other infections. Potential subjects hospitalized with pneumonia or other infections are to be screened within 24 hours of diagnosis of ARDS.
