Filter by:Primary aims of the study are to evaluate the feasibility of Skin conductance (SC) measurements and its correlation to Neonatal Pain and Distress Scale (N-PASS) - scores during the Less-Invasive-Surfactant-Administration (LISA)-procedure in preterm infants. Secondary aims are to evaluate the effect of LISA on the general stress-level in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. The assessment of pain and stress with SC measurement in addition to the subjective assessment with N-PASS may provide more conclusive data on the sensation of pain or stress during the LISA procedure and therefore the necessity of analgosedation. Therefore, this study might help to identify those infants in need for analgosedation, which would allow an individualized approach in the future.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to describe the incidence of reverse trigger (RT) in mechanically ventilated patients with diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Real incidence of RT based on continuous monitoring - The response to mechanical ventilatiory adjustments Participants will be included as soon as neuromuscular blockers (NMB)/sedation is stopped or in case of spontaneous respiratory efforts detection, whatever happens first. Continuous monitoring will be performed by esophageal manometry until switch to a pressure support (spontaneous) mode, restart of deep sedation/neuromuscular blockers by medical indication, or death. In order to allow detection of possible RT in patients with ongoing sedation/NMB, mechanical ventilator waveforms will be screened every 1-2 hours by investigators and critical care physicians with at least 1 year of specific training in detection of dyssynchronies.
The goal of this observational study is to compare pulmonary health parameter measurements from the VQm PHM™ to existing clinical measurements. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Confirm the performance of non-invasive pulmonary health parameter shunt fraction value found on the VQm PHM™ when compared to available reference measurements. - Confirm the performance of non-invasive pulmonary health parameter pulmonary blood flow, functional residual capacity and physiological dead space found on the VQm PHM™ when compared to available reference measurements.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether lung ultrasound can predict extubation success in neonates with respiratory distress. Participants will undergo a lung ultrasound pre- and post-extubation.
The goal of this observational study is to determine the relationship between the nutritional profile of critically ill patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and disease severity, prognosis, and survival, to assess the ability to meet nutritional goals, EN complications, and reasons for discontinuation and postponement of feeding. The main questions aim to answer are the relationship between the duration of EN initiation and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) score, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), oxygenation status, MV, ICU, and length of hospital stay, overall mortality, and whether nutritional goals were met, EN complications, and reasons for discontinuation and postponement.
The purpose of the trial is to study the tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetics of the study drug with participation of healthy volunteers after single intravenous administration with dose escalation (0.03 mg/kg, 0.06 mg/kg and 0.12 mg/kg). Before administration the study drug will be dosed and diluted in 200 ml of isotonic solution of 0.9% sodium chloride, and then will be administered once intravenously via infusion. During the entire follow-up period, the effect of the study drug on vital signs, instrumental and laboratory data, the development, severity and association of adverse events with the study drug will be monitored, investigated and studied.
1. Construct a structured clinical data and biosample information platform for Chinese patients with acute lung injury/ acute respiratory distress syndrome. 2. By deciphering the heterogeneity of patients with acute lung injury/ acute respiratory distress syndrome, achieve clinical, longitudinal physiological, and biological sub-phenotyping to guide individualized precision treatment and improve prognosis.
The aim of this randomized pilot clinical trial of preterm infants requiring noninvasive respiratory support for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) at birth is to improve short-term respiratory outcomes. The main question it aims to answer is: - Can a CPAP (or a PEEP if ventilation is needed) administered with a face mask and a T-piece at a level of 8 cmH2O improve lung recruitment in the delivery room when compared to administration of a level of 5 cmH2O in a control group? - Secondly, can improved lung recruitment in the first few minutes of life provide long-term benefits to the premature infant? The participants will be premature infants between 26 and 29+6 weeks gestational age.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a personalized intervention aiming to optimize the mechanical ventilator settings in morbidly obese patients suffering from moderate to severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The intervention consists of personalized measurements and calculations of the different pressures inside the thorax. The main question to answer is: • Will the evaluated esophageal pressure-guided strategy lead to different mechanical ventilator settings than suggested by a strategy largely used in ARDS patients in France? A specific nasogastric probe permitting to measure esophageal pressure will monitor participants. Esophageal pressure will act as an indicator of the pleural pressure. Other respiratory signals displayed by the mechanical ventilators will also be acquired. Further, ventilator settings will be adjusted to the evaluated esophageal pressure-guided strategy, with possible benefit of this personalized approach.
This mixed-methods study comprising a 3-arm pilot RCT and a qualitative study aims to investigate the preliminary effects and feasibility of a home-based combined activity and cognitive intervention for ICU survivors (COMBAT-ICU). Adopting a 3-arm design with COMBAT-ICU, exercise and attention placebo study arms will enable us to evaluate the added effects, if any, of the novel combined intervention compared with the standard exercise-only rehabilitation strategy and attention placebo. Data triangulation from quantitative and qualitative aspects can facilitate result interpretation. The study's objectives are: 1. To evaluate the preliminary effects of the COMBAT-ICU intervention for ICU survivors on PICS, physical, mental and cognitive outcomes, HRQoL, unplanned re-hospitalisation rate, and mortality. 2. To explore the feasibility and acceptability of the COMBAT-ICU intervention and ICU survivors' intervention engagement experience. The hypothesis of the first objective is that upon completion of the COMBAT-ICU intervention, ICU survivors will have reduced PICS, improved physical function, mental health, cognition and HRQoL, and reduced unplanned readmissions and mortality compared with the exercise and attention placebo groups at post-intervention and 3 months thereafter. While the hypothesis of the second objective is that the COMBAT-ICU intervention is feasible and acceptable for ICU survivors.
