Filter by:Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a severe complication of blood transfusions. After a transfusion, TRALI develops in 0.08-15% of cases. The incidence of TRALI is 50-100 times higher in critically ill patients compared to the general hospital population. No biomarkers are yet known to detect TRALI. This study will compare blood samples of TRALI patients with blood samples of intensive care patients in order to find possible biomarkers for TRALI.
Lung protective ventilation with low tidal volumes and low driving pressure are known to reduce mortality in mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory failure. This reduction in mortality is known be due to reduction of ventilator induced lung injury that occurs due to high tidal volumes and high driving pressure. When receiving such mechanical ventilation, some patients develop hypercapnia and associated hypercapnic acidosis. Such patients have an increased risk of mortality. While the exact reasons for such increase in mortality is not known, it is recommended to minimise hypercapnia and hypercapnic acidosis during lung protective ventilation. Minimally invasive extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) devices are shown to reduce hypercapnia and hypercapnic acidosis. There are several devices that are currently available in the current clinical practice. However, the effect of these devices on reduction in ventilator induced lung injury is not clearly demonstrated. This study aims to assess the use of an ECCO2R device called Prismalung in reducing ventilator induced lung injury. PrismaLung is currently used in our intensive care unit. This assessment is done by measuring interleukins in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood interleukin levels as well as clinical assessment including the reduction of driving pressure.
This is a multicenter international observational prospective cohort study. The main questions it aims to answer are: - PRIMARY AIM: To describe the capability of IRVF demodulation at diagnosis of ARDS to predict development of AKI within 7 days from the ARDS onset - SECONDARY AIMS: A)Describe the capability of IRVF demodulation or pattern of IRVF (continuous, pulsatility, biphasic, monophasic) to predict development of AKI within 14 days from the ARDS onset. B) To describe the RD parameters and VexUS in the AKI and no AKI patients over time. C) Describe the impact of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) on the intrarenal venous congestion and VexUS., D) Evaluation of effect of CRRT on IRVF pattern, VexUS and parameters. E) Describe the feasibility of renal doppler to assess IRVF in critically ill respiratory patients. F) Evaluate the incidence of AKD and CKD Participants will Adult patients with diagnosis of ARDS admitted to intensive care unit and undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation
The aim of the study is to see if endogenous exhaled Nitric Oxyde (eNO) concentrations measured are significantly higher in ARDS patients admitted in ICU ; compared to control subjects in good health with no lung disease or global inflammation, operated under general anesthesia (i.e. intubated and ventilated) for thyroid or parathyroid.
Data comparing respiratory drive and effort in critically ill patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome associated to different severity of COVID-19 penumonia (CARDS) and to other risk factors are lacking. Objectives: To assess respiratory drive and effort of CARDS patients at the first transition from controlled to assisted spontaneous breathing. The second aim was the rate of a composite outcome including the need of higher level of sedation
We conducted an observation sub-study of the prospective randomized controlled trial "High Dose Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure", in which we analysed the echocardiographic data collected both at baseline when patients where included and 3-5 days later for followup.
There is limited research on aspiration pneumonia-induced ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), and currently there is a lack of studies on corresponding biomarkers and pathogenic mechanisms. We hypothesize that pH and amylase in BAL (Bronchoalveolar Lavage) may serve as candidate biomarkers for inhalation-induced ARDS, while changes in different cytokines may provide clinical evidence for studying its pathogenic mechanisms.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a personalized intervention aiming to optimize the mechanical ventilator settings in morbidly obese patients suffering from moderate to severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The intervention consists of personalized measurements and calculations of the different pressures inside the thorax. The main question to answer is: • Will the evaluated esophageal pressure-guided strategy lead to different mechanical ventilator settings than suggested by a strategy largely used in ARDS patients in France? A specific nasogastric probe permitting to measure esophageal pressure will monitor participants. Esophageal pressure will act as an indicator of the pleural pressure. Other respiratory signals displayed by the mechanical ventilators will also be acquired. Further, ventilator settings will be adjusted to the evaluated esophageal pressure-guided strategy, with possible benefit of this personalized approach.
Investigation of the feasibility of monitoring processed transcutaneous electroencephalography (EEG), a method of interpreting brain activity, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a method of determining levels of tissue oxygenation (StO2) in the brain, for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the ICU.
The overall aim is to compare the composition and spatial heterogeneity of the following in critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients: i) immune cell populations and their activation patterns, ii) the surrounding cytokine-chemokine milieu, including trans-compartmental fluxes of these mediators between the lung and bloodstream, and iii) the lung microbiome. Main hypotheses: - The immune cell population in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from patients with ARDS is dominated by neutrocytes, while T cells are depleted, and show evidence of hyper-activation and exhaustion - T cell hyper-activation and exhaustion is specifically compartmentalised to the lungs, and much more pronounced in moderate-to-severe than none-to-mild ARDS - Cyto- and chemokines derived from pulmonary immune cells are higher in moderate-to-severe than none-to-mild ARDS with a greater release from lungs to the bloodstream, notably of IL-6 and IL-8. - The differences in T cell profile in BALF, notably the ratio between regulatory T cells and T helper 17 cells, will change with disease severity over time, and can be explained by the presence of tI-IFN antibodies and/or a low microbial diversity of the respiratory tract with low enrichment from the oral cavity.
