Filter by:Acute respiratory distress syndrome remains a deadly disease with hospital mortality remaining between 40 to 50%. ARDS mortality risk factors have been identified from patient history, common clinical and biological variables in the lung SAFE study. Part of ARDS mortality is attributable to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), in relation with inappropriate settings on the ventilator. Tidal hyperinflation and recruitment/derecruitment during lung inflation are 2 identified mechanisms leading to VILI, that may be identified on computed tomography while poorly identified with variables collected at the bedside. The aim of this study is to identify whether tidal hyperinflation identified on computed tomography is a risk factor for ARDS mortality, independently from know bio-clinical risk factors.
Artificial intelligence (AI) shows promising in identifying abnormalities in clinical images. However, systematically biased AI models, where a model makes inaccurate predictions for entire subpopulations, can lead to errors and potential harms. When shown incorrect predictions from an AI model, clinician diagnostic accuracy can be harmed. This study aims to study the effectiveness of providing clinicians with image-based AI model explanations when provided AI model predictions to help clinicians better understand the logic of an AI model's prediction. It will evaluate whether providing clinicians with AI model explanations can improve diagnostic accuracy and help clinicians catch when models are making incorrect decisions. As a test case, the study will focus on the diagnosis of acute respiratory failure because determining the underlying causes of acute respiratory failure is critically important for guiding treatment decisions but can be clinically challenging. To determine if providing AI explanations can improve clinician diagnostic accuracy and alleviate the potential impact of showing clinicians a systematically biased AI model, a randomized clinical vignette survey study will be conducted. During the survey, study participants will be shown clinical vignettes of patients hospitalized with acute respiratory failure, including the patient's presenting symptoms, physical exam, laboratory results, and chest X-ray. Study participants will then be asked to assess the likelihood that heart failure, pneumonia and/or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the underlying diagnosis. During specific vignettes in the survey, participants will also be shown standard or systematically biased AI models that provide an estimate the likelihood that heart failure, pneumonia and/or COPD is the underlying diagnosis. Clinicians will be randomized see AI predictions alone or AI predictions with explanations when shown AI models. This survey design will allow for testing the hypothesis that systematically biased models would harm clinician diagnostic accuracy, but commonly used image-based explanations would help clinicians partially recover their performance.

COVID-19 resulted in the largest cohort of critical illness survivors in history, heightened awareness of the importance of the respiratory sequelae after an acute distress respiratory syndrome (ADRS). Despite the advancement of acute-phase ARDS management, it is unknown whether there are differences in the longitudinal recovery trajectories between patients with post-ARDS due to COVID-19 and due to other causes. The main objective of the study is to identify risk factors of pulmonary sequela (lung diffusing capacity) at long-term follow-up in survivors of ARDS. The investigators are also interested in describing the long-term longitudinal recovery trajectories at a multi-dimensional level (symptoms, quality of life, neurocognitive, other lung function parameters, exercise capacity, chest imaging and molecular profiles) of ARDS survivors, and compared between ARDS caused by COVID-19. The ultimate goal is to understand the pathobiological mechanisms associated with a severe lung injury at the long term, allowing the introduction of clinical guidelines for the management of post-ARDS patients and the assignment of personalized interventions.
This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial done in a Level III neonatal intensive care unit. Preterm newborns with RDS were randomized to receive oxygen therapy through bubble CPAP vs ventilator-derived CPAP. Differences in arterial blood gases, oxygen saturation, number of surfactant and CPAP failure rate between study groups were analyzed.
RESEARCH DESIGN Multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. RECRUITMENT Entry criteria Preterm infants 28-35 6/7 weeks' gestation and less than 48 hours of age who have a clinical diagnosis of respiratory distress syndrome. Infants who are on NCPAP and FiO2 ≥0.30 will randomized to curosurf or infasurf via MIST. Exclusion criteria Infants will be excluded if there is a congenital anomaly or an alternative cause for respiratory distress. Babies who require emergent intubation will not be enrolled in the interventions. Parental Consent will be obtained prior to randomization.
This project intends to adopt the multicenter prospective real-world study method to conduct a preliminary study on the incidence, grading, risk factors, respiratory support strategies, in-hospital mortality, 3-month mortality, 6-month mortality, 1-year mortality, quality of life, lung function and limb function recovery, cognitive function, return to work and other conditions of ARDS patients in RICU. By collecting 1,000 patients, a clinical database related to ARDS in China was established to provide essential data and ideas for promoting standardized diagnosis and treatment technology for ARDS patients and further clinical intervention research. At the same time, ARDS biobank was established in China-Japan Hospital and Xiangya Hospital to realize the integration of clinical data and sample resources, and the prediction model of ARDS survival and complications of tuberculosis clinical data and biological samples was established by using big data and AI technology.
There is evidence from randomized controlled trials in adult patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) suggesting that delivering small tidal volumes with adequate levels of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) and a restrictive fluid strategy could improve outcome. However, there are data and common bedside experience that individual patients may or may not respond to interventions, such as escalation of PEEP or positional changes, and there may be a role for a more personalized ventilator strategy. This strategy could account for the unique individual morphology of lung disease, such as the amount of atelectasis and overdistension as a percentage of total lung tissue, the exact location of atelectasis, and whether positional changes or elevation of PEEP produce lung recruitment or overdistension. Stepwise Recruitment maneuvers (SRMs) in pARDS improve oxygenation in majority of patients. SRMs should be considered for use on an individualized basis in patients with pARDS should be considered if SpO2 decreases by ≥ 5% within 5 minutes of disconnection during suction or coughing or agitation. If a recruitment maneuver is conducted, a decremental PEEP trial must be done to determine the minimum PEEP that sustains the benefits of the recruitment maneuver. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a bedside monitor to describe regional lung volume changes, displays a real-time cross-sectional image of the lung. EIT is a non-invasive, non-operator dependent, bedside, radiations-free diagnostic tool, feasible in paediatric patients and repeatable. It allows to study ventilation distribution dividing lungs in four Region Of Interest (ROI), that are layers distributed in an anteroposterior direction, and shows how ventilation is distributed in the areas concerned. EIT measures and calculates other parameters that are related not only to the distribution of ventilation, but also to the homogeneity of ventilation and the response to certain therapeutic maneuvers, such as SRMs or PEEP-application. Aim of this study is to provide a protocolized strategy to assess optimal recruitment and PEEP setting, tailored on the patients individual response in pARDS.
The goal of this interventional study is to compare standard mechanical ventilation to a lung-stress oriented ventilation strategy in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Participants will be ventilated according to one of two different strategies. The main question the study hopes to answer is whether the personalized ventilation strategy helps improve survival.
Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a salvage treatment for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). With the large-scale implementation of VV-ECMO in critical care medicine departments in China, significant progress has been made in treating severe ARDS. However, the patient mortality rate remains high. The pathophysiological essence of ARDS is an imbalance between the body's oxygen supply and demand, causing tissue and cell hypoxia, organ dysfunction, and even death. The VV-ECMO treatment process still requires mechanical ventilation assistance. However, inappropriate mechanical ventilation settings can lead to ventilator-related lung injury (VILI). In recent years, mechanical power has gradually attracted everyone's attention and is considered the cause of VILI. The transpulmonary mechanical power is more accurate to the energy directly performed to the lung tissue. Transpulmonary mechanical energy has a specific value in judging the prognosis of mechanically ventilated patients, but its clinical significance in treating patients with VV-ECMO is unclear. This study aimed to explore the value of transpulmonary mechanical power in predicting the prognosis of patients with severe ARDS patients treated with VV-ECMO.
