Filter by:In clinical practice discrepancies between overnight SpO2 recordings performed by 2 devices used simultaneously are regularly observed. However, this has not been systematically studied or quantified. It is therefore important to determine if these discrepancies are anecdotic, or frequent, and to what extent this may affect decisions in clinical practice such as implementing (or withdrawing) oxygen in subjects under noninvasive ventilation (NIV) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or adjusting NIV settings.
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a neuro-respiratory disease characterized by lifethreatening sleep-related hypoventilation involving an alteration of CO2/H+ chemosensitivity. This suggests cortical activity during awakening to maintain breathing. Cortical activity to keep breathing is usually associated with breathing discomfort ; this is the case in healthy subjects under non invasive ventilation (NIV) or with expiratory charge as well as in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This can suggest that CCHS may be breathless at rest and this discomfort could be reduced by NIV. The objective is to evaluate dyspnea with a multi dimensional score, MDP, in CCHS patient at rest in every day life and during 1H session of NIV. The investigators will perform a prospective, including 20 CCHS patients. MDP scores will be measure before and after 1H-non invasive ventilation as well as a visual scale of 100mm in order to evaluate variation of breathing discomfort before/after NIV. The investigators expect that CCHS patients don't have rest dyspnea but NIV would improve breathing discomfort that would mean they have latent rest dyspnea.
Various guidelines for endotracheal intubation (insertion of breathing tube for mechanical ventilation) of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients recommend the use of videolaryngoscope (medical device used for intubation that has a camera to visualize the vocal cords between which the breathing tube will pass) over direct laryngoscope (conventionally-used medical device for intubation that depends on anesthetist's direct visualization of vocal cords). The reasons for this recommendation are to maximize the distance between the medical personnel and the patient's face during intubation to decrease the risk of viral particles transmission and to improve intubation success. For patients infected with COVID-19, Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) is recommended as an alternative to N95 masks during aerosol-generating procedures such as intubation because N95 masks may not fully protect medical personnel from viral transmission during intubation. There is no evidence to suggest that videolaryngoscope (VL) is superior to direct laryngoscope (DL) for intubation when PAPR is donned. The purpose of this study is to determine if McGrath VL is superior to DL for intubation when the anesthetist is wearing a PAPR. The investigators' hypothesis is that McGrath VL will decrease the time to intubation by 20 seconds and more compared to DL when PAPR is donned. The investigators also hope to learn if there is any difference in the difficulties encountered between the use of VL and DL.
This study uses the AirGo band to monitor changes in tidal ventilation in spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19 associated respiratory failure. It aims to recognize patterns of ventilation associated with worsening respiratory failure in this patient population. If successful, this study will lead to the development of new robust methods for real-time, continuous monitoring of respiratory function in patients with respiratory failure. In turn, such monitoring methods may enable improvements in the medical management of respiratory failure and timing of interventions.
Primary Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness in the obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) treatment with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) set manually by polysomnography compared to the same treatment with a respirator with automatic NIV adjustment, analyzing as primary variable PaCO2 and as operational variables dropout rate for medical reasons and mortality. Secondary objectives: cost-effectiveness, clinical and functional improvement in wakefulness and during sleep, quality of life, blood pressure monitoring for 24 hours, incidence and evolution of cardiovascular events and use of health resources. Other objectives: 1) effectiveness of treatments in the following subgroups of patients: gender, age, socioeconomic status, severity of sleep apnea, VNI compliance, quality of life and comorbidities; 2) To evaluate the profile of patients with poor adherence to NIV based on clinical severity, gender, age and socioeconomic status in the whole sample and in both intervention groups.
THRIVE (Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange) refers to the use of high-flow nasal cannula to augment the ability to oxygenate and ventilate a patient under general anesthesia. The use of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen supplementation during anesthesia for surgical procedures has been a recent development in the adult population, with limited data analyzing the pediatric population. This study will determine whether high flow nasal cannula oxygen supplementation during surgical or endoscopic procedures can prevent desaturation events in children under anesthesia and improve the outcomes of that surgery.
We propose to carry out a large multicentric, multinational, randomized controlled trial with two phases (two sequential randomized controled trials) to answer two questions: 1) Should hospitalized patients with recently diagnosed OHS be discharged from the hospital on an auto-titratable NIV treatment until the diagnosis of OHS is confirmed in 3 months? 2) Is the long-term effectiveness of outpatient titrated CPAP non-inferior to titrated NIV in ambulatory patients with OHS 3 months after hospital discharge? Clinical practice, multicenter open-label controlled randomized clinical trial with preset allocation rate (1:1) with two parallel-groups conducted in centers from Spain, France, Portugal and USA. The study will have two phases with two randomizations. The first phase will be a superiority study and the second phase will be a non-inferiority study.
At the time of weaning from mechanical ventilation, patients with heart and/or lung conditions will be given oxygen support with alternating bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP; oxygen via face mask) and heated high flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC; oxygen via nasal cannula) to see if this method reduces the likelihood of re-intubation.
To determine the quality of life of patients living with chronic respiratory failure and the impact interventions have on it.
This study compares a volume targeted pressure support non-invasive ventilation with an automatic PEP regulation (AVAPS-AE mode) to a pressure support non-invasive ventilation (S/T mode) in patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure with acidosis. This study focuses on patients at risk of obstructive apneas or obesity-hypoventilation syndrom (BMI≥30 kg/m²). Half of participants (33 patients) will receive non invasive ventilation with AVAPS-AE mode, the other half will receive non-invasive ventilation with S/T mode.
