Filter by:Although many studies have investigated the clinical benefits of nasal high flow during acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, there is no data (and even less so recommendations) on how to best conduct this technique, including its initiation and its weaning periods. Investigators will assess in a multicenter, observational study, the way clinicians use nasal high flow therapy in patients with acute respiratory failure in order to try identify one or more strategies that may be then compared in an interventional study.
Hypoxemia is a common complication after aortic surgery. As this complication has an adverse effect on the postoperative course of the patient, early treatment is important; however, the mechanism of hypoxemia after surgery for acute aortic dissection remains unclear. Recently, the investigators found that inhaled Nitric Oxide can improve the oxygenation in some of these patients. The investigators are trying to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of inhaled Nitric Oxide in patients with refractory hypoxemia after aortic surgery.
The investigators hypothesized that heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula oxygen(HFNC) along with high quality of sleep, in comparison with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV), could reduce the release of inflammatory marker C-reactive protein(CRP), which as independent predictor of atrial fibrillation（AF）, further lower the incidence of new-onset AF following coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG).
The prevention of the occurrence of respiratory events is a constant concern in pediatric anesthesia, as these represent the main cause of the anesthesic mortality. These events occur partly during induction of anesthesia and are all the more frequent as the child is young. The French recommendations do not propose the use of neuromuscular-blocking agents in pediatric anesthesia. This recommendation is controversial In a recently published study, it has been shown that the use of neuromuscular blocking agents during induction in children under 2 years improves intubating conditions and reduces the incidence of hemodynamic and respiratory events. This monocentric study, centered on intubating conditions, does not allow to conclude on the influence of muscle relaxants on reduction of the respiratory morbidity. The objective of study is to demonstrate that, in children under 2 years, changing the anesthesia protocol can reduce the incidence and severity of episodes of hypoxemia associated with respiratory events occurring during induction
The purpose of this study is to test the accuracy of a web cam-based biomedical device developed at UVA (not FDA-approved) that is designed to measure heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation without requiring any patient contact. One potential application of such a device would be in the field of infant monitoring allowing parents (and physicians) to monitor the vital signs of infants continuously. The investigators therefore propose to record the heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation of 100 infants (defined as children aged 12 months or less) who are receiving continuous oxygen, heart rate, and respiratory rate monitoring with a traditional vital signs monitor. The relationship between "non-contact" and "gold standard" (GE monitoring equipment) heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation will be analyzed using regression and limits of agreement analysis.
The purpose of this study is to compare heart rate in infants who receive atropine as a part of their medication before intubation to those who do not. To be able to find out , we need to divided babies into 2 groups; group 1 : receives atropine + sedation + muscle relaxant group 2 : receives water or saline ( placebo group) + sedation + muscle relaxant Then we need to compare heart rate during intubation and duration of intubation between the 2 groups.
The purpose of this study is to develop the hypoxemia prediction model during fiberoptic bronchoscopy under MAC(monitored anesthesia care) anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure compared to standard treatment in preventing the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation in patients who develop acute hypoxemia after liver transplant. Hypoxemia complicates the recovery of 30-50 % of patients after abdominal surgery; endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation may be required in 8-10 % of cases increasing morbidity and mortality and prolonging intensive care unit and hospital stay.
