Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of CPAP application by a helmet and O2 administration by a Venturi mask in terms of achievement of criteria for endotracheal intubation during severe acute respiratory failure caused by pneumonia
The aim of the present study is to characterize the influence of an elevated positive end-expiratory pressure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome or acute lung injury on the cerebrovascular autoregulation.
The purpose of this registry is to retrospectively and prospectively obtain clinical data in consecutively treated patients, in order to demonstrate that the commercially available Edwards SAPIEN Valve with the RF3 delivery system is a safe and effective treatment for patients with pulmonary regurgitation or stenosis.
Capgnography is the monitoring of the concentration or partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the expired respiratory gases; as such, it is a non-invasive monitoring technique which allows fast and reliable insight into ventilation, circulation and metabolism. Capnography has proven to be more effective than clinical judgement alone in the early detection of adverse respiratory events. The shape of a capnogram is identical in all humans with healthy lungs; any deviations in shape must be investigated to determine a physiological or a pathological cause of the abnormality. Data from a previous pilot study yielded two major findings: 1. Prediction of requirement for intubation, by the creation of an "Integrated Pulmonary Index" (IPI) based on non-invasive physiological parameters 2. Breathing patterns during weaning in order to identify specific patterns used to predict extubation success/failure The intent of the current study is to gather sufficient data to either prove or disprove the findings of the previous study
The Breathe NIOV™ System will reduce the work of breathing in subjects with chronic respiratory insufficiency who require long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT). The Breathe system will accomplish this by providing oxygen under pressure and augmenting the subject's spontaneous tidal volumes. The combination of efficient oxygen delivery, assisted ventilation, and a comfortable low-profile device, will result in a mean improvement in perceived well-being and ability to perform ADLs, as measured by patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments.
This study will evaluate a newly developed pediatric mask (known as Pixi) on children aged 2-7 using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) treatment. The participants will undergo a monitored sleep study, followed by a 7 night trial of the Pixi mask in the home environment. During the study usability will be measured through questionnaires filled in by the parent and clinician. The study hypothesis is that the usability of the mask will be superior to the patient's usual mask.
Data collected from this study will be used to evaluate the performance of a monitoring algorithm.
The investigators are studying whether it is safe and effective to provide enteral nutrition to critically ill children via the nasogastric route, as opposed to the nasojejunal route, while they are receiving noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.
The purpose for the investigators study is to investigate the severity and incidence of respiratory insufficiency using transcutaneous carbon dioxide (TcPCO2) monitoring as an adjunct to the current standard of care for early detection of inadequate ventilation in post-operative surgical in-patients undergoing cardiac surgery after discharge from intensive care unit (ICU) or post anesthesia recovery unit (PACU).
The purpose of this study is to collect long-term follow-up data of the CryoValve SG Pulmonary Human Heart Valve.
