Filter by:The aim of this unblinded parallel-group randomized multicenter clinical trial is to compare the clinical effectiveness of high flow nasal therapy (HFNT) with conventional oxygen therapy (COT) in patients with confirmed COVID-19 related acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.
The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic increase in the number of patients hospitalized in intensive care units for an acute respiratory failure in all countries. This situation has quickly led to massive shortage in masks, mechanical ventilation machines and common medications such as hypnotics. All countries over the world are currently experiencing a major shortage in basic hypnotic medications (propofol, midazolam) in the intensive care as well as in the operating theatre. The Principal Investigator proposes to perform a pilot study assessing the benefit-risk ratio of Remimazolam (a novel benzodiazepine with a short half-life) in the critical care units of Nantes University Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The study 'Survival rates and long-term outcomes for patients with COVID-19 admitted to Norwegian ICUs' is a national observational study, including patients admitted to a Norwegian ICU between March 2020 and March 2021. The study will describe survival rates, clinical characteristics and health challenges experienced by survivors the first year after ICU admission caused by COVID-19 disease.
During mechanical ventilation (MV) hypoxemic or hyperoxemic events should be carefully monitored and a quick response should be provided by the caregiver at the bedside. Pediatric mechanical ventilation consensus conference (PEMVECC) guidelines suggest to measure SpO2 in all ventilated children and furthermore to measure partial arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) in moderate-to-severe disease. There were no predefined upper and lower limits for oxygenation in pediatric guidelines, however, Pediatric acute lung injury consensus conference PALICC guidelines proposed SpO2 between 92 - 97% when positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is smaller than 10 cm H2O and SpO2 of 88 - 92% when PEEP is bigger or equal to 10 cm H2O. [1] For healthy lung, PEMVECC proposed the SpO2>95% when breathing a FiO2 of 21%.[2] As a rule of thumb, the minimum fraction of inspired O2 (FiO2) to reach these targets should be used. A recent Meta-analyze showed that automated FiO2 adjustment provides a significant improvement of time in target saturations, reduces periods of hyperoxia, and severe hypoxia in preterm infants on positive pressure respiratory support. [3] This study aims to compare the closed-loop FiO2 controller with conventional control of FiO2 during mechanical ventilation of pediatric patients
The investigators aim to achieve experts consensus on respiratory interventions in management of COVID-19 related acute respiratory failure (C-ARF).
This is a prospective, randomized, unblinded trial of trauma patients in the ICU who are identified as being at a high risk to develop acute respiratory failure. We hope that this study will help the study team to identify how best to use a more aggressive respiratory treatment strategy in a high risk trauma population (thoracic trauma or trauma patients requiring thoracic surgery, spine surgery, or open abdominal procedures) to try and decrease the need for intubation with mechanical ventilation.
The QUICK study main aim is to assess the predictive value at Day 1, of a model built on lung ultrasound (LUS) and clinical data, both recorded at hospital admission of COVID-19 patients.
In this study, the investigator examined epidemiological and demographic characteristics, risk factors and 28-day mortality of patients admitted to the intensive care unit with the diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia.
the purpose of this study to evaluate the effect of early awake PP (prone position)application on oxygenation and intubation requirement in patients with acute respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia.
coronavirus disease 2019 related pneumonia is causing acute respiratory failure and this is the most common reason for ICU admission. We have several different way for respiratory support. HFNC is one of the new technics for oxygen support. Our main purpose to observe the effect of HFNC on coronavirus disease 2019 patients' ICU stay and mortality.
