Filter by:The objective of ILAN is to assess the safety, feasibility and bronchodilator efficacy of in-line bronchodilator nebulizer delivery with VMN via HFNC system in hypoxemic respiratory failure patients treated with bronchodilators and compare this method to standard-nebulization using a jet nebulizer with a facial mask. The investigators hypothesized that aerosol nebulization using HFNC/VMN represents safer and more convenient approach in hypoxemic respiratory failure patients in comparison to conventional therapy while providing similar bronchodilator efficacy.
Critically ill COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure, in the intensive care unit (ICU), often feature high respiratory drive, determining large inspiratory efforts resulting in high pressures and global and regional over-distention, leading to lung injury. SARS-CoV-2 neurotropic-penetration in control centers in medulla oblongata might contribute to dysregulation and to excessively high respiratory drive observed in these patients. These pathophysiological conditions may often lead to the development of patient-ventilator asynchronies in aptients under mechanical ventilation, again leading to high tidal volumes and increased lung injury. These phenomena can contribute to prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay, but also can result in long term adverse outcomes like emotional/psychological and cognitive sequelae. All them compromising the quality of life of critically ill survivors after ICU discharge. The investigators will conduct a multicenter study in adult critically ill COVID-19 patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure, aiming to: 1) characterize incidence and clustering of high respiratory drive by developing algorithms, 2) apply artificial intelligence in respiratory signals to identify potentially harmful patient-ventilator interactions, 3) characterize cognitive and emotional sequelae in critically ill COVID-19 survivors after ICU discharge and 4) identify sets of genes and transcriptomic signatures whose quantified expression predisposed to asynchronies and cognitive impairment in critically ill COVID-19 patients.
Multicenter, open label, three-arm randomized trial to assess the effect of helmet noninvasive ventilation vs. helmet continuous positive airway pressure vs. high-flow nasal oxygen on the rate of endotracheal intubation of patients with acute moderate-to-severe hypoxemic respiratory failure
SARS-CoV-2 targets endothelial cells via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor. The specific impact of the resulting endothelial injury is currently unknown but may contribute to the pro-coagulant state classically described during Covid-19 disease and commonly associated with an exacerbated activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
The study compares oxygen and NHF in patients with acute viral illness. The duration will be 72h. After them physiological parameters and the outcome will be evaluated.
Treatment of patients with Hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is complex. Therapies that have been shown to save the lives of patients with HRF and ARDS are available but they are not always provided. To reduce practice variation and improve adherence to evidence-informed therapies, the investigators developed the Treatment of Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure and ARDS with Protection, Paralysis, and Proning (TheraPPP) Pathway. The overall objective of TheraPPP Pathway is to improve the quality of care for patients with HRF. Implementation of the pathway across Alberta will test the effectiveness and implementation of the TheraPPP Pathway.
First-line therapy of patients with acute respiratory failure consists in oxygen delivery through standard oxygen, high-flow nasal oxygen therapy through cannula or non-invasive ventilation. Non-invasive ventilation in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is not recommended. In a large randomized controlled study, high-flow nasal oxygen has been described as superior to non-invasive ventilation and standard oxygen in terms of mortality but not of intubation. Paradoxically in immunocompromised patients, high-flow nasal oxygen has not been shown to be superior to standard oxygen. To improve the level of evidence of daily clinical practice, we propose comparing high-flow nasal oxygen versus standard oxygen, in terms of mortality in all patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
The purpose of this trial is to determine whether Prone Positioning (PP) improves outcomes for non-intubated hospitalized patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19, who are not candidates for mechanical ventilation in the ICU. The investigators hypothesize that PP will reduce in-hospital mortality or discharge to hospice, compared with usual care for non-intubated patients with do-not-intubate goals of care with hypoxemic respiratory failure due to probable COVID-19.
The aim of this study is to examine if automated oxygen delivery with O2matic allows for faster weaning from oxygen supply and better oxygen control than manually controlled oxygen therapy for patients admitted to the emergency department with acute hypoxemia. Furthermore it will be tested if O2matic compared to manual control allows for earlier discharge.
The purpose of this study is to: - Compare PEEP level selected by individualized PEEP titration by electrical impedance tomography and PEEP level routinely used in post-operative cardiac patients with Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure; - Evaluate the agreement between the results of a rapid titration (total procedure duration = 5 min) versus an already validated slow titration (total procedure duration = 40 min) of the same patient, sequentially. Specifically, degree of collapse and degree of distention in each PEEP level, estimated by EIT; - Compare hemodynamics during the two maneuvers of PEEP titration; - Evaluate the efficacy of the selected PEEP (minimum PEEP preventing lung collapse less than 5%) to maintain stable levels of the following variables: arterial oxygenation, respiratory system compliance, and degree of collapse by EIT; - Compare these results (evolution of the three variables, along 4 hours) with the control strategy (default strategy currently used in the institution) group.
