Filter by:The aims of this study are (1) to find out the relationship between PaO2 and SaO2 among mechanically ventilated patients and (2) to create a reliable system to utilize SF ratios to impute the PF ratios in assessing the respiratory parameter of the SOFA score.
This study evaluates the difference between Non Invasive Ventilation with Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NIV-NAVA) and Conventional Non Invasive Ventilation with Pressure Support (PS) or Pressure Control (PC). All the patients are ventilated in each mode for 4 hours. Afterwards they will be subjected to a semi-structured interview where they will be asked to compare the two modes. The hypothesis is that NIV-NAVA will correct patients power of Hydrogen (pH), PaCO2 og PaO2 more quickly than NIV-PS and NIV-NAVA is more comfortable for the patients.
This observational cohort aimed to re-evaluate the outcome of hematologic cancer patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Mansoura oncology center through a cohort study as regards their need for mechanical ventilation during two years.
Summary: Emerging data demonstrate long-term morbidity and mortality in those who survive critical illness. However, there is no data regarding long-term follow-up for ICU survivors. The investigators have begun the implementation of an ICU recovery clinic. Rationale: ICU survivors are at high risk for functional, cognitive and psychiatric impairments. However, methods to mitigate these impairments and improve recovery are lacking. Special follow-up clinics for survivors of critical illness have been proposed and implemented to some degree, but are uncommon.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of early application of nasal high flow oxygen therapy after pulmonary lobectomy on the incidence of postoperative hypoxemia
Volume-targeted noninvasive ventilation (VT-NIV), a hybrid mode that targets a preseted tidal volume (VT) by automated adjustment of pressure support, could guarantee the delivered VT over pressure-limited noninvasive ventilation (PL-NIV) with fixed level pressure support. Whether VT-NIV is more effective in improving gas exchange in patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) as compared with PL-NIV remains unclear. Our aim was to verify whether in comparison with PL-NIV, use of VT-NIV was more effective in correcting hypercapnia, hence reducing the need for intubation and improving survival in patients with AHRF.
Despite the known complications of immobility for ICU patients, compliance to mobility protocols is lacking in many institutions. Significant barriers have been described to compliance to up in chair and weight bearing orders in the ICU. Recent studies indicate that if progressive mobility is performed for acutely ill ICU patients they may have a reduced ICU length of stay, reduced overall hospital length of stay, incur lower hospital costs, and reduce the rate of some medical complications and increase functionality post ICU discharge. The current protocol seeks to understand whether or not the TotalCare® P500 Bed System and the Liko Lift can remove some of the barriers associated with progressive mobility compliance.
This study aims to test direct application of the Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation -NIVM- mask or interface as the most efficient intervention to prevent Pressure Ulcers (PU), compared with other three usual preventive measures which consist in the use of three different medical devices.
Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is at risk for worsening hypoxemia in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). High-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC) improves hypoxemia in ARF patients . We investigated its efficacy and tolerance in intensive care unit patients admitted for ARF requiring BAL.
This study is a single center, prospective cohort crossover study comparing mechanically ventilated neonates and infants on Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation with pressure control plus pressure support (SIMV(PC) + PS) modes. This design will allow for direct comparison of two commonly used ventilator modalities in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to determine if one mode is superior to the other with regards to respiratory mechanics and estimated energy expenditure. It is hypothesized that neonates and infants will have improved respiratory severity score (MAP X FiO2) utilizing NAVA compared to the SIMV (PC) + PS mode but will have increased estimated energy expenditure.
