Filter by:Prospective, observational multicentric study which aims at identifying lung POCUS (Point of Care UltraSound) findings associated with failure of noninvasive ICU-LRS (Intensive Care Unit Level Respiratory Support) (defined as escalation of settings or need for intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation) in infants requiring noninvasive ICU-LRS in the ICU for bronchiolitis and other LRTI (Low Respiratory Tract Infection) and at identifying lung, pleural, and diaphragm POCUS findings that are associated with a clinical improvement after escalation of ICU-LRS support by comparing POCUS findings from the first 24 hours of ICU stay to a subsequent study 1 day later.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if treatment with prehospital Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF), due to acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) based on in-hospital criteria, should be used in the prehospital setting. This is performed with the introduction of prehospital arterial blood gas analyzation. The primary objective is: • To determine if early prehospital applied NIV together with standard medical treatment will affect arterial pH at hospital arrival in patients with ARF due to AECOPD. Participants in the intervention will receive Non-invasive ventilation together with standard medical treatment. The intervention will be compared to standard medical treatment alone, that may include inhaled bronchodilators, intravenous corticosteroids, and titrated oxygen supplementation.
One significant challenge to non-invasive ventilation (NIV) use in children is finding masks to fit a wide range of growing shapes and sizes. While the technology has improved with development of masks specifically for children, the range of options remains limited. Given the smaller size relative to adults, craniofacial abnormalities and craniofacial differences are more likely to compromise mask fit for children. A poor mask fit is uncomfortable, alters delivery of airway pressure, and, in some children, leads to failure of NIV and the need for surgical insertion of an airway in the neck to deliver positive airway pressure through a tracheostomy. This makes expanding the technology to deliver NIV vital and custom NIV masks an exciting solution.In this study, this study will enroll children who are established on long-term NIV with at least some use within 3 months of starting this therapy but who have non-optimal adherence. After consenting to participate and completing demographic and health questionnaire, participants will undergo a facial scan using stereophotogrammetry. This scan will be imported into a computer-aided design software to create a NIV mask customized to the individual face. The steps of mask testing will include: i) Bench testing to compare the leak and comfort parameters of the current commercial mask used by the participant to the custom mask: ii) Efficacy of treatment as measured by polysomonography iii) NIV compliance from machine downloads; iv) Questionnaires to assess the subjective comfort, fit, and adverse events Finally, participants and their parents/guardian will be asked which mask they prefer and why.
Current study aimed to explore the effect of high PEEP during noninvasive ventilation among hypoxemic patients with acute respiratory failure.
Domiciliary non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a standard care for improving survival rates of selected patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF) and to improve the patients' hypercapnia, sleep quality, health-related quality of life (QoL). Adherence is an important factor affecting clinical effectiveness of domiciliary NIV. Our previous study has noted the associations between poor domiciliary NIV adherence and increased number of clinical adverse events (p = 0.004) and increased hospitalization requiring acute NIV salvage (p = 0.042). However, there are very limited studies on adherence to domiciliary NIV in patients with CHRF. The only interventional study was a single-group pre-test post-test study and lack of a theoretical framework for guiding the intervention. This study is employing an Information-Motivation-Behavioral skills (IMB) model-based intervention to improve inhalation adherence in a group of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used for supporting preterm infants with respiratory distress in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and the incidence for nasal injury including skin redness or breakdown associated with pressure from the nasal interfaces is found in infants receiving this support. Risk is found higher in preterm infants than term infants due to the smaller gestation age and lower birth weight. Thus, the study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate an evidence-based practice guideline (the guideline) for preterm infants receiving NIV in the NICU. With the implementation of this guideline, it helps to promote comfort to infants receiving NIV, and at the same time to minimize complications associated with NIV.
Pars plana vitrectomy is minimally invasive endoscopic procedure which is usually performed in moderate analgo-sedation given by anesthesiologist combined with topical anesthesia and retrobulbar or Subtenon block performed by surgeon. Intravenously applied anesthetics can often lead to slower breathing rate or cessation of breathing which introduces risk of low blood oxygen level despite careful adjustment of anesthetics' dose and application of standard low-flow nasal oxygenation (LFNO). Respiratory instability is often accompanied by circulatory instability manifested by disturbances of heart rate and blood pressure. LFNO provides maximally 40% inspired fraction of oxygen and can cause discomfort of a patient due to coldness and dryness of inspired gas. On the other hand, high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) can bring up to 100% of inspired oxygen fraction to patient, providing noninvasive pressure support of 3-7 cmH2O in patients' upper airway which ensures better oxygenation especially in higher anesthesia risk patients. Because of carrying warmed and humidified air/oxygen mixture via soft nasal cannula, HFNO is better tolerated by patients. In this trial investigators will compare effect of HFNO to LFNO during intravenously applied standardized analgo-sedation given for vitrectomy in normal weight patients of low and high anesthesia risk. Investigators hypothesize that normal weight patients of low and high anesthesia risk, whose breathing pattern is preserved, receiving HFNO vs. LFNO during standardized analgo-sedation for vitrectomy will be more respiratory and circulatory stable, preserving normal blood O2 and CO2 level, breathing pattern, heart rate and blood pressure.
Rationale: Application of long-term non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF) has recently been shown to improve outcomes. However, the mechanism behind these improvements are unknown. We hypothesize that NIV stabilizes FEV1 via beneficial effects on inflammation and repair pathways in patients with COPD. In the present study we aim to investigate, in COPD patients with CHRF, 1. change in FEV1 after 3 months nocturnal NIV in stable hypercapnic COPD patients as compared to standard care 2. the relationship between FEV1 change and modification of systemic and airway inflammation and remodelling, lung hyperinflation, and airway morphology. 3. predictors of a favourable response to chronic NIV in COPD patients with CHRF. Study design: multicentre randomised controlled study investigating the effects of NIV on airway morphology, airway inflammation and remodelling in hypercapnic COPD patients including a control group that will postpone the initiation of NIV for 3 months. In addition we will investigate how patient demographics, patient and disease characteristics and systemic and airway inflammation predict the response to chronic NIV in severe stable COPD. To do this, all patients will be followed for 6 months after NIV initiation. Main study parameters/endpoints: The main endpoint is the change FEV1 after 3 months. Furthermore, as we recognise that FEV1 might not be the most important patient-related outcome, we will assess which parameters affect health-related quality of life after 3 and 6 months.
Non-invasive respiratory support is routinely provided to extremely preterm infants following disconnection from mechanical ventilation, in the form of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV). However, these modes remain sub-optimal due to lack of synchronization and upper airway defensive mechanisms that potentially hinder their effectiveness. Non-invasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NIV-NAVA) is a novel mode that may overcome some of these problems but has not been investigated in this population. Investigators hypothesize that there will be significant differences in cardiorespiratory behavior in extremely preterm infants receiving CPAP, NIPPV and NIV-NAVA during the immediate post-extubation period.
The efficiency of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in hypercapnic patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during pulmonary rehabilitation has been shown in numerous studies. There is only a limited number of therapeutic options for patients with severely progressed interstitial lung disease (ILD). The question whether chronic hypercapnic ILD-patients are able to profit from nocturnal NIV and thus increase their performance in physical training has been left unknown. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the initialization of a NIV for hypercapnic ILD-patients during pulmonary rehabilitation.
