Filter by:With the development of perinatal medicine, more and more newborns with respiratory failure can be treated due to the use of respiratory support technology. However, long-term invasive mechanical ventilation treatment can lead to a series of complications such as ventilator-associated pneumonia, atelectasis and air leakage syndrome, and increase the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and neurodevelopmental lag of premature infants. It also leads to longer hospital stays and higher hospital costs. To shorten the invasive mechanical ventilation time and improve the success rate of withdrawal through various ways is the development direction of neonatal mechanical ventilation therapy. Respiratory muscle atrophy is common and rapid in children receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, and is an important cause of ventilator dependence and withdrawal failure. The diaphragm of newborns is the main respiratory muscle, of which the diaphragm type 1 endurance fiber accounts for only about 30%, far lower than the proportion of about 55% in adults, so the diaphragm of newborns is more prone to fatigue. Previous animal experiments and clinical studies in children and adults have confirmed that diaphragmatic pacing therapy applied to patients with long-term invasive mechanical ventilation can prevent diaphragmatic atrophy, reverse diaphragmatic injury, significantly improve diaphragmatic thickness, improve diaphragmatic anti-fatigue ability, thereby increasing lung ventilation, relieving dyspnea, and achieving the effect of assisted extubation. The neonatology Department of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University started neonatal external diaphragm pacemaker treatment in 2022, and has completed 1383 cases so far, initially showing the effectiveness and safety of external diaphragm pacemaker treatment in neonatal population. But so far, there is no systematic evaluation of clinical intervention effect of external diaphragm pacemaker treatment on neonatal respiratory failure patients at home and abroad. Based on this, the project team intends to conduct a prospective randomized controlled study to systematically evaluate the safety of external diaphragm pacemaker in preterm infants requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for ≥7 days at 28 to 35 weeks of gestation, and to evaluate the efficacy of external diaphragm pacemaker in adjuvant extubation.
ABSTRACT Introduction: Invasively ventilated patients in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) experience significantly higher mortality compared to those in High income countries (HICs). Direct application of HIC strategies to LMICs maybe ineffective due to context-specific challenges. This study aims to leverage the Intensive Care Registry of Uganda (ICRU) to identify ICU structural and process-related modifiable factors that impact patient outcomes in a low income country. Methods: The MOTIVATE-ICU is a prospective multicentre observational study in invasively ventilated patients. It involves a registry-embedded component examining patient- and process-related factors and a cross-sectional survey on ICU organizational structures. Inclusion criteria encompass patients aged ≥ 15 years undergoing IMV in Ugandan ICUs. Primary outcomes are ICU mortality, ICU length of stay (LOS), and duration of ventilation. Secondary outcomes include ventilator-associated complications, non-pulmonary organ support. tTracheostomy outcomes will be explored in a pre-planned substudy. Factors potentially associated with outcomes will be categorized into two groups; non-modifiable factors and potentially modifiable. Non-modifiable factors will include patient-related factors like age, comorbidities and illness severity; potentially modifiable factors include processes of care (e.g. sedation levels) and ICU organizational structure (e.g. staffing patterns). Multilevel multivariable logistic regression will be utilized to study associations, with both patient and ICU level fixed effects considered. Ethics and Dissemination: Given its observational nature, this study seeks a waiver for patient individual informed consent. Data anonymization ensures patient privacy. Following the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, relevant ethical approvals will be acquired. Study findings will be disseminated through conferences and peer-reviewed journals.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of fospropofol and propofol during sedation in invasively mechanically ventilated patients in the Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit (AICU). Specific objectives include the following: - Evaluate the sedative effects of fospropofol and propofol in invasively mechanically ventilated patients. Compare the sedative effects of the two medications using relevant clinical indicators and scoring tools, such as the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS). - Compare the safety of fospropofol and propofol during sedation. Monitor medication-related adverse reactions, such as respiratory depression, hypotension, arrhythmias, headache, injection site pain, and assess the differences in adverse reaction incidence between the two medications. - Compare the characteristics of recovery from sedation between PPD and propofol. Focus on the time from sedation to emergence from sedation and compare the differences in recovery time between the two medications. Participants will be sedated with fospropofol or propofol during invasive mechanical ventilation.
This research aims to assess the interest of preemptive treatment with Acyclovir in mechanically ventilated patients with reactivation of Herpes simplex (HSV) in the throat and failure of one organ or less. HSV reactivation is common in patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU) on invasive mechanical ventilation. It begins at the oropharyngeal level (incidence up to 20-50%), then progresses downward with contamination of the distal airways (reported incidence of 20-65%). HSV reactivation is associated with high mortality. The investigators aim to disable that, in mechanically ventilated patients with HSV reactivation in the throat and failure of one organ or less, preemptive treatment with Acyclovir may reduce mortality. To answer the question posed in the research, it is planned to include 246 people hospitalized in intensive care on invasive mechanical ventilation, presenting with HSV reactivation of the throat and one organ failure or less.
The objective of the study is to pilot a parent-to-parent coaching model with experienced family members of children with Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV) as parent coaches.
Invasive mechanical ventilation is one of the most important and life-saving therapies in the intensive care unit (ICU). In most severe cases, extracorporeal lung support is initiated when mechanical ventilation is insufficient. However, mechanical ventilation is recognised as potentially harmful, because inappropriate mechanical ventilation settings in ICU patients are associated with organ damage, contributing to disease burden. Studies revealed that mechanical ventilation is often not provided adequately despite clear evidence and guidelines. Variables at the ventilator and extracorporeal lung support device can be set automatically using optimization functions and clinical recommendations, but the handling of experts may still deviate from those settings depending upon the clinical characteristics of individual patients. Artificial intelligence can be used to learn from those deviations as well as the patient's condition in an attempt to improve the combination of settings and accomplish lung support with reduced risk of damage.
Invasive mechanical ventilation is a life-saving treatment in critically ill newborns with respiratory failure. However, continuing this treatment for a long time may have negative consequences, especially bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) secondary to mechanotrauma. For this reason, it is essential to terminate the mechanical ventilation treatment at the most appropriate time. About half of the extremely preterm babies may fail extubation even if the clinical criteria traditionally used for extubation are met. Unsuccessful extubation is associated with increased intraventricular bleeding, death, BPD, death or BPD, longer duration of ventilator support. When respiratory failure and lung pathologies of extremely preterm babies begin to improve, the target for mechanical ventilation should be early and successful extubation. Currently, the decision to extubate a preterm baby is primarily based on clinical judgment. Only a few studies that showed the low predictive value and limited utility using different measures have evaluated readiness for extubation. Lung ultrasonography (USG) is a noninvasive bedside technique that has been found useful for predicting the success of weaning from the ventilator in adults; however, very little data are available in neonates. In a recently published study, it was proposed an extubation readiness estimation tool based on clinical and demographic data of preterm babies who were attempted elective extubation. The researchers' hypothesis is that the use of a model based on extubation success scoring and lung USG scoring before extubation reduces the failure of the first extubation attempt in very low birth weight infants. The aim of the study is to evaluate the value of using an integrated model based on pre-extubation "extubation readiness predictor" and lung USG scoring to predict extubation success in preterm babies undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation.
Some ICU ventilated patients might present with large tidal volume despite very low or inexistant presser support. Patient-Self Inflicted Lung Injury (P-SILI) might appear related with large alveolar stretch an distension. Two clinical presentations are observed: patients with or without respiratory distress signs such as supra-clavicular depression and thoracic-abdominal asynchronies. The aim of this study is to compare the pulmonary physio(-patho)logical parameters of these two types of patients (eupneic or with respiratory distress signs), and presenting important TV in spite of a minimal adjustment of the ventilatory support, except for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
The authors hypothesized that inhaled sedation, either with isoflurane or sevoflurane, might be associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS, compared to intravenous sedation. The authors therefore designed the "Inhaled Sedation for COVID-19-related ARDS" (ISCA) non-interventional, observational, multicenter study of data collected from the patients' medical records in order to: 1. assess the efficacy of inhaled sedation in improving a composite outcome of mortality and time off the ventilator at 28 days in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS, in comparison to a control group receiving intravenous sedation (primary objective), 2. investigate the effects of inhaled sedation, compared to intravenous sedation, on lung function as assessed by gas exchange and physiologic measures in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS (secondary objective), 3. report sedation practice patterns in critically ill patients during the COVID-19 pandemics (secondary objective).
