Filter by:Background: Intravenous (IV) loop-diuretics have been a key component in treating pulmonary edema since the nineteen sixties and has a Class 1 recommendation in the 2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for heart failure. Conversely, vasodilation was downgraded in the treatment of acute heart failure due to a lack of trials that compare vasodilation with loop-diuretics in a hyperacute clinical setting. This clinical equipoise will be tested in a trial including patients with pulmonary congestion immediately at hospital admission. Primary objective: To determine the superior strategy of loop-diuretics (furosemide), vasodilation (nitrates) or the combination during emergency treatment. Design: Investigator-initiated, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial with 1:1:1 allocation. Intervention: Intervention-phase will last 6 hours from study-inclusion, and patients will be allocated to one of three groups: - Boluses of 40 mg IV furosemide + nitrate-placebo as soon as possible and repeated up to 10 times. - Boluses of 3 mg IV isosorbide dinitrate + furosemide-placebo as soon as possible. - Boluses of both 3 mg IV isosorbide dinitrate + of 40 mg as soon as possible.
In swimming induced pulmonary edema (SIPE), there is a lack of knowledge regarding optimal treatment. The present study was designed to assess the benefit of treatment with positive expiratory pressure device (PEP-device) compared to spontaneous recovery in patients with SIPE without hypoxia in the out-of-hospital environment.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the left and right ventricular systolic function is involved in the development of weaning failure related to weaning-induced pulmonary edema.
The primary objective of this study is to compare gravity-driven versus wall suction-driven large volume therapeutic thoracentesis on the development of chest discomfort during the procedure. This study is a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial designed to compare chest discomfort between gravity-driven and wall suction-driven therapeutic thoracentesis. Patients will be stratified by study centers, and randomly assigned to intervention and control arms; and will remain blinding to their group assignment during the procedure.
Immersion Pulmonary Edema (IPE) is a relatively new form of hemodynamic pulmonary edema. The number of cases has been increasing over the last ten years and it has become the second most common cause of hospitalization for military divers, after decompression sickness. The pathophysiological mechanisms of IPE are not completely known. Its occurrence is linked to a combination of factors related to the environmental constraints of diving, as well as to the diver's equipment. The main external factors are increased hydrostatic pressure, cold, intense effort and emotional stress. The impact of internal factors is not known. At this time, no severe forms of IPE have been identified in the military. However, it is important to identify this pathology at an early stage, even if the signs appear minor, because the continuation of underwater activity can significantly worsen the clinical picture. The risk of recurrence (greater than 15%) could result in a severe or even lethal accident.
Prospective, single-center, clinical registry of patients with symptomatic/critical carotid artery stenosis at risk of stroke coexisting with unstable or multivessel severe coronary artery disease and/or severe valvular heart disease undergoing endovascular treatment of carotid atherosclerosis using a mesh stent in combination with cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or valve surgery). A study involving clinical data evaluation of truly simultaneous treatment outcomes in patients deemed to require carotid revascularization at the time of surgical cardiac intervention (single-stage, simultaneous treatment). An open-label study, without randomization - a single arm study. Academic Registry - scientific activity of the Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum, Jagiellonian University and John Paul II Hospital.
In swimming induced pulmonary edema (SIPE), there is a lack of knowledge regarding optimal treatment. The present study was designed to assess the benefit of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compared to oxygen as a first line treatment of SIPE in the out-of-hospital environment.
Trial of Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation Management of High Altitude Pulmonary Edema
A randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of using pulmonary ultrasound to guide fluid therapy on distinct variables.
It is hypothesized that instillation of Liothyronine Sodium (T3) into the airspace will be safe, well tolerated, and will increase alveolar fluid clearance and decrease inflammation in patients with ARDS, reflected in improved oxygenation index (OI) and oxygenation saturation index (OSI).
