Filter by:This is a phase IIa, dose-ranging, proof-of-concept study of MRG-001 in patients with ARDS. The aim is to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of MRG-001 across two dose ranges.
Sleep disturbance is one of the most common complaints of patients admitted to ICU. Insufficient sleep in intensive care units may be associated with environmental reasons such as excessive light at night, loud warning sounds and mechanical ventilation alarms, as well as non-environmental factors, including the situation at the time of admission. Sleep assessment is subjective in nature, so it is difficult to perform in the ICU. Since communication with the patient is prevented, clear information about perceived rest and disturbing factors cannot be provided. For this reason, night rest is an issue that is often forgotten and ignored. This study applied a mixture of lavender, medicinal chamomile and neroli oil (in 20 ml of sweet almond oil; lavender oil 2 drops, medicinal chamomile 4 drops, neroli oil 6 drops) to patients who were monitored in intensive care on high-flow and oxygen, once a day for three days. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of aromatherapy massage applied for a total of 30 minutes on sleep quality.
During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), oxygenation of the patient on the pump can be left completely under pump control, or the lungs can be ventilated with low tidal volume to reduce atelectasis. In recent years, the concept of mechanical power has been used to determine the extent of ventilator-related lung damage. This concept of mechanical power, by which the energy transferred by the ventilator to the lungs can be calculated, will be measured at certain intervals in CPB surgery patients on the pump and compared between the two groups. The investigators aimed to investigate the effect of two different ventilation methods on mechanical power and its relationship with postoperative pulmonary complications.
Readmission to the intensive care unit (ICU) results in increased consumption of medical resources and costs, and has been proposed as a marker for quality of care. ICU readmission rates have been estimated at 4 to 14% and different risk factors have been proposed by various studies Readmitted patients mostly carry poor prognosis compared to newly admitted ones, in addition to the bad psychological impact for both patient and his family
The additional time required to awaken a patient is one of the main reasons for not extubating him or her in the operating room (OR). Conversely, transferring an intubated patient to recovery room (RR), prolonging the duration of anesthesia and intubation, in a limited environment in human resources, may lead to increased complications' rates. Little is known about those time lengths and complications rates.
The goal of this feasibility study is to learn about the ability to use a different form of oxygen therapy (known as high flow oxygen therapy) in patients who have a spinal cord injury in the upper back or neck. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is it possible to recruit patients to the study 2. It is possible to follow the protocol in its current format 3. What is the impact on those receiving the intervention. Participants will be randomised to receive either standard care or high flow oxygen therapy for 10 days following inclusion.
The goal of this worldwide observational study is to investigate ventilation practice in critically ill pediatric patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the global current practice of ventilatory support in critically ill pediatric patients? 2. Which potentially modifiable factors related to ventilation are associated with outcome? Participating pediatric intensive care units will gather detailed information about ventilation practice and outcome, such as duration of ventilatory support, length of ICU stay and ICU mortality.
At the beginning of 2020, a global alert emerged which saturated intensive care units due to COVID-19 worldwide. This caused a need for mechanical ventilation due to atypical pneumonias that had a rapid evolution and respiratory failure; therefore the consumption of sedative agents in the intensive care units escalated. Suboptimal sedation in the intensive care unit, increases the adverse effects, costs, and morbidity. For the time being, they focus on the use of intravenous agents such as propofol or dexmedetomidine, which are associated with tolerance, withdrawal, delirium, and hemodynamic effects. Consequently, the need arises to maximize availability and effectiveness, which is why the intervention of the ANACONDA conservation device is carried out, which works with a heat and humidity exchange filter capable of administering isoflurane or sevoflurane with an efficiency of 90%.
This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of sedation protocol targeting optimal respiratory drive using P0.1 and arousal level compared with conventional sedation strategy (targeting arousal level alone) in patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the medical intensive care unit.
The goal of this pilot interventional no-profit study is to evaluate airway pressure, esophageal pressure and variations in lung volume distribution with EIT in mechanically ventilated patients admitted to our UTI with respiratory failure after the application of an abdominal weight and resulting increase of intra-abdominal pressure.
