Filter by:To estimate, in a longitudinal and not invasive way, in patients with SGB at respiratory risk, the function of respiratory muscles and that of the upper airways muscles by investigating the force of the tongue, the gulp, and the breath during the sleep to be able to detect bulbar impairment and establish correlations enter the various parameters to estimate better the interactions between the dysfunction of the respiratory muscles and that upper airways muscles and so determine the risk acute respiratory failure.
Spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) has long been thought to be a essential process before extubation. In this study,the investigator hypothesized that SBT could be not essential during weaning from ventilator and investigated whether weaning could be better done without a spontaneous breathing trial in non-COPD（COPD, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease） critically ill patients. This study has revealed, for the first time, that compared with use of SBT in discontinuing ventilator process, patients underwent successful extubation without SBT. For this subset of patients the findings suggest that SBT may be excluded preceding extubation in a general intensive care population.
In the past, patients suffering from acute respiratory failure had to be treated with Oxygen and specific medication, or - if this had not been sufficient - had to be anesthesized and had to undergo endotracheal intubation for invasive ventilation. Nowadays, since emergency ventilators are available that can be used for non-invasive ventilation, the purpose of this study is to investigate if non-invasive ventilation is safe, feasible and effective for the treatment of acute respiratory failure and if less patients will need to be intubated out-of-hospital as well as in the further course.
The purpose of this study is to compare a new noninvasive ventilator to existing ventilators already used for patient care.

The objective of this study (Part II) will be to compare the performance of the Trilogy device and a conventional ventilator (participant's current device). Both devices will be set to the participants' current mode and prescription settings.

Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) improves oxygenation in term infants with respiratory failure. However, iNO has been primarily used in infants receiving mechanical ventilation. This study is a pilot study to determine if iNO given into an oxygen hood is effective in improving oxygenation in term and near-term infants who have poor oxygenation but who are not yet mechanically ventilated.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lansoprazole administered nasogastrically is effective for stress ulcer prophylaxis in respiratory intensive care unit.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a computer-driven system (Smartcare/PS) decreases weaning duration from mechanical ventilation when compared to usual care in children.
