Filter by:In this study the investigators aimed to study the ventilatory performance of different interfaces during NPPV delivering.
The purpose of this study is to test whether application of high frequency ventilation through a nasal tube can lower blood carbon dioxide levels in stable preterm infants.
Obesity is a significant health care issue in the United States, particularly among the critically ill. Preliminary research has shown that differences in ventilator management exist among obese and non-obese individuals. This study will examine the effect of excess weight on ventilator management and clinical outcomes in individuals in an intensive care unit (ICU).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of early conversion tracheostomy from endotracheal intubation (ET) to percutaneous, dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) in traumatic brain-injured patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation.
The trial intends to investigate, whether inspiratory muscle training in hypercapnic patients improves inspiratory muscle strength, inspiratory muscle endurance and endurance to walk within six minutes.
A new artificial lung device has been developed that potentially provides added support to mechanical ventilation for severely damaged lungs. The Hattler Respiratory Assist Catheter is designed to provide gas exchange (deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide) for a period of up to 7 days, providing more time for the lungs to improve. Extrapolating from large animal data, the hypothesis is that the Hattler Catheter will be capable of providing 30% to 40% of the basal requirements of carbon dioxide exchange in a manner that is dependable and reproducible.
We sought to determine if there is a benefit to using an insulin drip to control hyperglycemia in the surgical critical care unit for patients who undergo general and vascular surgery.
The study aims to assess early (one to three days after intubation) tracheostomy effectiveness in terms of reduction in ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) incidence.
The purpose of this study is to compare 2 techniques of pulmonary valve replacement in patients with a large right ventricular outflow tract: a standard surgical treatment using cardiopulmonary bypass versus a medico-surgical hybrid strategy without extracorporeal circulation.
This study tests the hypothesis that initial trophic enteral feedings will increase the time alive and free of mechanical ventilation as compared to initial goal enteral feedings in patients who are mechanically ventilated.
