Filter by:ADs (airway diseases) are a group of progressive diseases that lead to a decline of lung function, accelerated by recurrent exacerbations, which can lead to death. ADs include a number of different conditions including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis (CF), bronchiectasis and bronchiolitis frequently related to immune difciency or hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCT), and obstructive chronic lung allograft dysfunction (O-CLAD). The financial burden of ADs is monumental. It is imperative to prevent exacerbations and decline in lung function to reduce ADs mortality and morbidity. The vast amount of knowledge accumulated over the last several years in both biotechnology and digital intelligence, has afforded the evidence of the presence of various treatable traits spread among ADs, that imposes to reassess ADs. BABY-ROAD study proposes to take advantage of these advances to test the feasibility of sampling and exploring ADs patients with multisource data. Baby-ROAD study will be preliminary to the ROAD study that will propose to reclassify ADs into new clusters pertinent for preventive, personalized and participative care.
EcoID is a study designed as an adaptive controlled clinical trial with a first phase of superiority and a second phase of non-inferiority with change of control, of parallel groups, random assignment and blinding of investigators measuring outcome.
High flow nasal cannula administration in critically ill patients is frequently used to improve acute respiratory failure or to prevent respiratory failure after extubation. It acts generating a mild positive pressure in the airways and by reducing respiratory effort of patients. However to the best of our knowledge, no study to date has directly measured the amount of positive pressure generated in the trachea of patients. The primary aim, therefore, of this study measures this positive pressure after extubation in critically ill patients.
The purpose of the study is to prospectively assess the use of a modified tracheal balloon dilator in children (<13 years old) with subglottic or tracheal stenosis. The hypothesis is that the device will effectively dilate the stenotic segment, whilst maintaining oxygenation (if applicable). The primary aim is to measure the stenosis prior to, and after dilatation; using diameter and the modified Myer-Cotton grading system. Secondary aims include assessment of stenosis at six-week follow-up and monitoring arterial oxygenation nadir (using peripheral plethysmography) during the procedure.
