Filter by:The purpose of the study was to describe early predictors and to develop a prediction tool that accurately identifies the need for mechanical ventilation in pneumonia patients with acute respiratory failure treated with High Flow nasal cannula.
Purpose Two techniques of radial artery cannulation, ultrasound guided (USG) and conventional method (CM) were compared to find the better technique in general and in different hemodynamic subsets of patients. Method This is a prospective randomized, single center study of 100 patients. The details of the primary cannulation technique, number of attempts, time taken, failure and cross-over technique were recorded for three different hemodynamic subsets with Systolic blood pressure <80 mm hg, 80-100 mm hg and > 100 mm hg.
The purpose of this small pilot study is to refine a combined intervention of IV amino acids and cycle ergometry in critically ill patients, and to gather preliminary data, before proceeding with a larger multi-center RCT. A total of 10 patients will receive the combined intervention.
The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is one of common clinical critically diseases. In the United States, the incidence of ARDS reaches 31%, which is one of the main causes of death in patients. There is no unified treatment process for ARDS currently and the treatment measures are not yet standardized, so the standardization of ARDS treatment processes is needed to reduce mortality in patients. Following the evidence-based medicine principles and six-step treatment standards of ARDS, this study uses the method of multi-center randomized controlled clinical trials to evaluate the standardized treatment process of ARDS, which provides the basis for the standardized treatment of ARDS.
PRODIGY is a prospective, multi-center, post-market, international cohort study. The primary objective of this study is to derive a score to identify subjects at risk to have respiratory depression (RD) episodes in patients undergoing opioid therapy in the hospital ward and monitored by capnography. The score will be derived by using subjects within the derivation cohort and internally validated using subjects within the validation cohort. The primary endpoint used to derive the score will be the occurrence of RD episodes derived by Capnostream 20p device memory data combined with clinical data and validated by an independent Clinical Endpoint Committee (CEC) during the study course.
The purpose of this study is to compare the exercise endurance between oxygen therapy with rehabilitation and nasal high flow therapy with rehabilitation for the patients with chronic respiratory failure receiving long-term oxygen therapy.
Healthy volunteers will participate in a crossover trial comparing preoxygenation with a non-rebreather mask to a bag-valve mask (with and without a simulated mask leak) at the flush rate of oxygen (fully opening standard oxygen flowmeter).
The aim of this study is to verify the safety and accuracy of an FDA-approved device called the NEMO™ Gauge to aide in the proper positioning of the endotracheal tube (ETT), inserted in the lungs of patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The hope is that the NEMO™ Gauge is able to properly determine the correct position of the endotracheal tube without the use of a chest radiograph (chest x-ray). The study investigators anticipate sixty-eight (68) subjects will participate in this study at three (3) study centers in the Inland Empire of Southern California, with subjects being enrolled at Loma Linda University Medical Center, Riverside University Medical Center and Loma Linda Veterans Affairs Hospital.
Acute respiratory failure is frequent during rhythmology procedure under light sedation in high risks selected patients. Non invasive ventilation (NIV) is recommended for acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema and sleep apnea. The investigators will perform a monocentric, prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of NIV which associated pressure support ventilation (PSV: 5 to 15 cmH2O) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP: 5 to 10 cmH2O) with standard oxygen therapy in prevention of peroperative respiratory event. Our hypothesis is that peroperative use of NIV should reduce the incidence of apnea and hypoxia during procedure in rhythmology under light sedation.
Perioperative changes in regional ventilation by pulmonary electrical impedance tomography and spirometry will be investigated in patients at risk for postoperative pulmonary complications. Those patients undergo lung and flail chest surgery.
