Filter by:Acute respiratory syndrome distress (ARDS) is a clinical common syndrome with high mortality. Mechanical ventilation (MV) is the cornerstone of management of ARDS but can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), as one of main component of MV, has been widely used in the clinical practice. However, how to best set PEEP is still a difficult problem for moderate to severe ARDS patients. EIT, an imaging tool evaluating the regional ventilation distribution at the bedside, can achieve the individual PEEP selection for all mechanically ventilated patients. This article compared the effect of PEEP titrated guided by EIT with fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2)-PEEP table on the ventilation-perfusion mismatch.
Prone position ventilation was used 220 times in 44 out of 68 patients with severe COVID-19 induced ARDS treated with VV-ECMO. PPV treated patients did not benefit from PPV and the incidence of PPV related adverse events was high
In some ARDS patients, a mild chest compression (5 kg) improves lung compliance. We aim to determine wether such an improvement is due to a better recruitment or to a reduction of overdistension
The adequate characterization of RV injury is currently unknown. The hypothesis is that the best characterization of RV injury is the one with the most significant impact on the response to fluids and on the outcome. An RV failure is expected to induce fluid-unresponsiveness and potentially worst outcome. The main objective is to characterize different types of RV injury in critically ill patients by examining their association, including predictive performances, in hemodynamics parameters, ventilation parameters, and clinical outcomes The study will be based on the realisation of an echocardiography within 48 hours following inclusion.
The corner stone of the treatment of ARDS is mechanical ventilation with high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure, also called PEEP. A high level of PEEP is recommended and frequently used. But PEEP can lower cardiac output and contribute to circulatory failure during mechanical ventilation. Nevertheless, in theory, the PEEP-induced pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) increase could depend on the level of alveolar recruitment, but it has never been proven. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the relation between the high-PEEP induced PVR and the alveolar recruitment or overdistension.
Rationale Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a frequent cause of hypoxemic respiratory failure with a mortality rate of approximately 30%. The identification of ARDS phenotypes, based on focal or non-focal lung morphology, can be helpful to better target mechanical ventilation strategies of individual patients. Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a non-invasive tool that can accurately distinguish 'focal' from 'non-focal' lung morphology. The investigators hypothesize that LUS-guided personalized mechanical ventilation in ARDS patients will lead to a reduction in 90-day mortality compared to conventional mechanical ventilation.
Allogeneic culture-expanded bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are the subject of the current study as they are supported by preclinical and clinical data for potential to provide a safe and effective treatment for patients with acute respiratory distress.
Esophageal manometry was used as surrogate of pleural pressure to titrate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in ARDS patients. However, Absolute values of esophageal pressure (Pes) could be affected by the PEEP setting. In moderate to severe ARDS patients, the end-expiratory Pes changed differently with PEEP adjustment. and the esophageal phenotypes could be divided into type I and type II. with Type I (ΔPes≥30%ΔPEEP)and Type II(ΔPes<30%ΔPEEP).
ALT-100 is a monoclonal antibody developed by Aqualung Therapeutics Corp. as a treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). ARDS can occur as a serious complication in patients with respiratory infections such as COVID-19 and Influenza or have acquired trauma to their lungs. 32 healthy male or female participants between the ages of 18 and 55 years will be enrolled into 4 cohorts of single ascending doses. The doses being investigated are 0.1mg/kg, 0.4mg/kg, 1mg/kg and 4mg/kg administered by intravenous infusion. Participants will be screened within 28 days of study treatment, be admitted to the clinical research unit for 3 nights and attend 7 outpatient visits on study days 8, 15, 22, 29, 60, 90 and 120 respectively. This study will collect data to evaluate safety and tolerability, Pharmacokinetics of ALT-100, Pharmacodynamics of ALT-100 and determine if Anti-drug Antibodies are produced in the participants.
Medical and socioeconomic data are extracted from the Swedish Intensive Care Registry (SIR), the Swedish National Patient Registry and Statistics Sweden for all adult patients admitted to in Swedish intensive care units between 2014-01-01 and 2020-12-31 with a diagnosis of sepsis and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and/or coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) infection, and registered in SIR. The impact of demographic and socioeconomic factors on decisions to withhold or withdraw intensive care, and on mortality, are studied and statistically adjusted for level of chronic comorbidity and severity of acute illness.
