Filter by:This study is an extension of the Spanish Initiative for Epidemiology, Stratification and Therapies of Acute respiratory failure (SIESTA) Network. The present study is aimed to establish the epidemiological characteristics and clinical outcomes of mechanically ventilated patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure [defined as a PaO2/FiO2 ≤300 mmHg on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH2O or more, and FiO2 of 0.3 or more] admitted in a network of Spanish hospitals.
To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards Alterra Adaptive Prestent in conjunction with the Edwards SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) System in subjects with a dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract/pulmonary valve (RVOT/PV) who are indicated for treatment of pulmonary regurgitation (PR). Following completion of enrollment, subjects will be eligible for enrollment in the continued access phase of the trial.
Individuals with chronic liver disease develop significant muscle wasting that remains post-liver transplant. The transplant surgery additionally challenges respiratory mechanics. Respiratory muscle strength has been measured to be impaired in individuals post liver transplant. This study proposes an 8 week intervention designed to increase respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function that we hypothesize will correlate to improved functional performance and quality of life post-liver transplant. Pre-test post-test design, that will randomize subjects into an experimental group that will receive the inspiratory muscle strengthening exercise in addition to usual post-liver transplant care and a control group that will only receive the usual post-transplant care. Up to 50 subjects will be recruited from the Post-Liver Transplant Outpatient Clinic at the Miami Transplant Institute. The subjects will have repeated measurements of respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional mobility performance, and quality of life at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.
The failure of extubation in pediatric resuscitation is most often described as the need for reintubation within 48 hours after extubation. The failure rate of extubation in pediatric intensive care varies in the literature there is between 4 and 22% failures. These failures result in increased mortality, morbidity with a use of larger tracheostomy, a prolonged residence time. The extubation is codified in adult resuscitation and tends to be increasingly in pediatric resuscitation. In the pediatric intensive care unit of Hautepierre, a extubation protocol already exists for some time, and was prepared to go. the current literature data. It allows the harmonization of practices in service (previously left to the discretion of each doctor). The investigators are looking to see if the protocol used systematically in the service enables a reduction in the incidence of occurrence of failures of extubation.
The failure of extubation in pediatric resuscitation is most often described as the need for reintubation within 48 hours after extubation. The failure rate of extubation in pediatric intensive care varies in the literature there is 4 to 22% failure. These failures result in increased mortality, morbidity with a use of larger tracheostomy, a prolonged residence time. Some risk factors are well defined in the literature as the duration of intubation, ENT and neurological history, the persistence of a respiratory disease, a high level of sedation. Other factors are more controversial as age, ventilatory parameters just before extubation before extubation blood gases, the interest of a leak test. Also pediatric populations are extremely heterogeneous, so the investigators would like to highlight to extubation failure risk factors in Hautepierre pediatric ICU to better support these high-risk children.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TPV in patients with pulmonary valve dysfunction.
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is used in premature infants receiving mechanical ventilation to maintain lungs open and facilitate gas exchange. When ventilation/perfusion mismatch is present, areas of the lung that are open for gas exchange do not match up with areas of the lung that are receiving blood for gas exchange. This study measures the feasibility of enrolling and completing study maneuvers in premature infants for a prospective study measuring the responsiveness of V/Q mismatch to changes in the amount (or level) of PEEP.
This study is designed to evaluate the relationship between diaphragm activity during mechanical ventilation and the development of ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD). Diaphragm structure, activity, and function are monitored longitudinally over the first 7 days of mechanical ventilation.
