Filter by:In the clinical data, the changes of RIPK3 and FXR were monitored in the lung lavage fluid and blood from the patients. In vivo experiments to find high risk factors to induce AEC necrosis and further lead to ARDS evidence, can provide a more direct theoretical research foundation for the pathogenesis of ARDS.
This study aims to compare 2 alveolar recruitment maneuvers (ARM) in patients with cerebral injuries and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in term of efficacy and tolerance.
Acute lung injury (ALI) is the vital complication of Stanford type A aortic dissection. It is confirmed that Xenon has the significant protective effect on important organs and has no suppression on the cardiovascular system. Furthermore, our earlier trial has already clarified that static inflation with 50% Xenon during cardiopulmonary bypass could attenuate ALI for Standford A acute aortic dissection. However the protection effect was restricted for the limited time. Aimed to enhance the protection effect of Xenon, we designed this randomized trial that anesthesia with 50% xenon one hour before and after CPB and pulmonary static Inflation with 50%,75% and 100% Xenon during CPB respectively.
Phase I-II Clinical Trial - Safety and efficacy of umbilical-cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) in patients with Acute Lung Injury ,open label, controlled prospective study.
Postoperative acute lung injury (ALI) during the first 72 hours after liver transplantation is not uncommon. Injury may occur because liver transplantation is often associated with prolonged operative time, large volumes of fluid administration and transfusion, as well as inflammatory responses related to ischemia-reperfusion injury. For more precise perioperative fluid and hemodynamic management, modern monitoring systems, such as the pulse contour cardiac output (PiCCO) system, have been devised and reported in recent years. The PiCCO system uses the thermodilution technique to determine the cardiac index (CI) and thoracic fluid indices such as the intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI), all of which may reflect pulmonary fluid and injury status. However, perioperative changes in thoracic fluid indices in liver transplantation and their associations with postoperative ALI are not yet clear. In this study, the investigators aimed to determine patterns of change in perioperative thoracic fluid indices and compare these changes in recipients who did or did not develop postoperative ALI. Furthermore, the investigators will also try to determine the potential risk factors following liver transplantation.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the common disease in clinical, which pathophysiology is a lot of alveolar collapse and heterogeneity. Recruitment maneuver is one of the important therapy for improvement of this phenomenon. The previous research focuses on the hemodynamic and oxygenation effect of recruitment maneuver on the lung of ARDS. Seldom investigators try to find the intuitive change of heterogeneity when recruitment maneuver is implemented. In this study, the investigators compare three recruitment maneuvers on the lung heterogeneity of ARDS.
Shock is one of the five leading causes of income and mortality in emergencies. It generates a decrease in the availability of oxygen to the tissues, resulting in ischemia, pulmonary involvement and tissue reperfusion syndrome. This pathologies can trigger Syndrome of Acute Respiratory Distress (ARDS) and death. Troponin I (TI) has been reported as early marker for ischemia and mortality other than coronary syndromes in critical patients. Objective. Set the increase of TI as a predictor of ARDS in children with shock. Null hypothesis. Increase serum in children with shock predicts the onset of ARDS. Methodology. Prospective cohort type test diagnostic. Displays institutional. Sampling non-probability, consecutive inclusion. Calculation of the sample size: interval of confidence (IC) 95%, power - 80%; ratio non-exposed: exposed 2:1; n = 62. Inclusion criteria: informed consent signed by the parent; children admitted to pediatric emergency (PEU) 1 month to 14 years with shock requiring mechanical ventilation. Exclusion criteria: intake of toxic (TI value increment per will), ≥3 concentrated erythrocyte transfusion or plasma prior to entering PEU. The investigators call exposure to the increase of TI≥0 05ng/ml and event to the development of ARDS. Determine TI value in plasma serum in the first 24 h, through Enzyme Immunoassay for the Quantitative Determination of Cardiac-Specific Troponin-I in Human Serum (cTnI ELISA), (reported as cardiac triage). Monitoring for 7 days. Study was approved by Hospital Ethics Committee (Research record 003/12)
This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized controlled trial. Patients with viral-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) will be eligible. Ten patients will be enrolled and receive allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSC). Ventilator parameters as well as preoperative clinical characteristics and postoperative clinical outcomes will be registered. Routine blood sampling, radiography, and bronchioalveolar lavage will be performed pre- and postoperatively. Spirometry, quality of life assessment, and 6 minute walk test will be performed postoperatively. All available data will be collected prospectively. Follow-up is 12 months. Informed consent will be obtained from relatives to patients meeting the inclusion criteria before the initiation of any study-specific procedures.
Patients with mechanical ventilation have shown improved weaning rates when enteral tube feeding high in EPA, GLA and antioxidants were fed to patients in the critical care setting. LTAC Patients on chronic mechanical ventilation will have decreased days an mechanical ventilation, decreased mortality rates and decreased organ failure when fed an enteral product high in EPA, GLA and antioxidants compared to an isotonic high fiber enteral nutrition product.
Efforts to identify circulating factors that predict severity of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome（ALI/ARDS） patients is unrevealing. The primary purpose of this study is to verify our hypothesis that soluble CD74 might be a potential novel ALI/ARDS biomarker.
