Filter by:A prospective, multi-center, non-randomized interventional study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the VenusP-ValveTM System in patients with native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction. Post procedure, a clinical visit will be scheduled at pre-discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, and annually thereafter to 10 years. About 60 subjects will be enrolled in this study. Data analysis will be performed after all enrolled subjects complete 6-month follow-up and the primary endpoint analysis report will be submitted to FDA for PMA approval.
Aim of this study is to investigate the clinical safety of a novel pediatric heart valve.
Introduction: Patients on mechanical ventilation suffer alterations in the viscoelastic characteristics of the mucus due to changes in the humidity and temperature of the inhaled air and in the respiratory volumes and flows. The literature has pointed out the use of mechanical ventilators as a tool for mobilizing secretions and closed-system aspiration associated with expiratory pause has been shown to be effective in mobilizing secretions. Objectives: To assess whether there is a difference in the mass of aspirated secretion with the application of the expiratory pause during aspiration. Methods: A crossover, randomized study. Applied to children aged 0 to 5 years and 11 months who are intubated for 24 hours with orotracheal tubes or tracheostomy. There will be an exclusion of patients who present with undrained pneumothorax, cranial hypertension or any other clinical situation that has a clinical contraindication to aspiration and patients whose parents do not agree to participate in the study. The technique will be during aspiration in the tube with where to apply or not the expiratory pause on the mechanical ventilator. This secretion will be weighed so that there is fidelity in the results.
The pathophysiology of SARS-COV-2 related respiratory disease is still poorly understood, especially in its most severe form called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In this case, very few studies have investigated changes in gas exchange during COVID-19 progression in spontaneously breathing patients. The investigators purpose in this study to explore the pathophysiology of gas exchange and time course changes in spontaneously breathing patients with acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19. Moreover, our aim is to identify early markers associated with worsening respiratory failure and requiring endotracheal intubation.
This study will monitor device performance and outcomes in subjects undergoing implantation of the Edwards SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve System with Alterra Adaptive Prestent in the post-approval setting
Up to 25% of patients who require mechanical ventilation (MV) more than seven days in the intensive care unit (ICU) develop muscle weakness, which comprises deep muscle weakness , including the respiratory muscles.Early active mobilization in ICU patients is a safe and viable strategy to prevent the physical problems caused by immobility. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an alternative to mobilize and exercise because it does not require active patient participation and can be used on bedridden patients.No previous studies have shown whether training-specific respiratory muscles using an electrical stimulation can have overall benefits for ICU patients on MV.For this reason, the aim of this study was to evaluate, the effectiveness of the NMES therapy combined with early rehabilitation in the respiratory muscles of patients on MV.
Pacients who use mechanical ventilation (MV) need to pass weaning, a interruption process of ventilatory support. To predict this outcome, several scores have been developed, however, fail index in weaning and extubation remains high. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of ExPreS - Extubation Predictive Score - on rates of successful extubation. By a randomized clinical trial, this reseach will take place in ICUs of several hospitals. Therefore, it is expected that a difference between devices to predict extubation sucess exists and, because ExPreS is a protocol that evaluates different parameters related to many organs and systems, it presents a better capacity of predicting extubation sucess in MV patients.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the functionality of transcatheter implantation of the Medtronic Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) achieved by real-world implanters.
Coronavirus-2019 disease (COVID-19) is a highly infectious respiratory disease that causes respiratory, physical and psychological dysfunction in patients. With the increased understanding of the severity of COVID-19 and clinical evidence in accordance with the opinions of first-line clinical experts involved in the treatment of this epidemic, the investigators believe that the participation of patients with sequelae of COVID-19 in a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program would be of utmost importance. According to recent scientific recommendations for patients with sequelae of COVID-19, respiratory rehabilitation would alleviate symptoms of dyspnea, anxiety and depression and, eventually, improve physical functions and quality of life. Therefore, it is essential to anticipate early rehabilitation after the acute phase of ARDS, in order to limit the severity of the effects of the ICU and promote rapid functional recovery. Physiotherapy will play a role in providing exercise, mobilization and rehabilitation interventions for survivors of critical illnesses associated with COVID-19, in order to enable a functional social return.
This study will monitor device performance and outcomes of the SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) System in subjects with a dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) conduit or previously implanted surgical valve in the pulmonic position with a clinical indication for intervention.
