Filter by:The purposes of the study are (1) to analyze the baseline patient characteristics cross-sectionally, (2) to analyze the prognosis and its predictive factors and (3) to examine the longitudinal clinical course in the lung transplant candidates in Japan.
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.
Survival after cadaveric lung transplantation in recipients depended on ventilation support prior to transplantation has been reported to have relative high surgical mortality and morbidity rate. The objectives of this study were to describe the short-term outcomes of bilateral sequential lung transplantation under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in a consecutive series of patients who depended on noninvasive and invasive ventilation support preoperatively .
The purpose of this study is to study the effect of two standard of care sedative medications on sleep stages and total sleep time. The investigators hypothesize that the α2 agonist, dexmedetomidine, will improve sleep quality by increasing N2 and N3 sleep as well as total sleep time when compared to GABA agonists.
The purpose of this study is to compare a new noninvasive ventilator to existing ventilators already used for patient care.

The early initiation of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation in multi-system trauma patients decreases the incidence and severity of acute lung injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and allows faster recovery of lung function.
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.
