Filter by:In order to clarify the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture on inhibiting systemic inflammatory response, improving respiratory mechanics parameters and prognosis in patients with sepsis-related ARDS.
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of sivelestat sodium in preventing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following cardiac surgery, with the objective of providing evidence-based support for its clinical application.
Influenza is still responsible for more than 650,000 deaths per year worldwide and no major improvements in patients' care has been made despite 50 years of research. Especially, there is no therapeutic strategy targeting the dysregulated host response. CXCR4-expressing neutrophils seem to be involved in the rupture of host resistance. The aim of this study is thus to compare the percentage of blood CXCR4-expressing neutrophils between influenza survivors and non-survivors.
The aim of the study is to see if endogenous exhaled Nitric Oxyde (eNO) concentrations measured are significantly higher in ARDS patients admitted in ICU ; compared to control subjects in good health with no lung disease or global inflammation, operated under general anesthesia (i.e. intubated and ventilated) for thyroid or parathyroid.
Open-label pilot study of early inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) for patients developing de novo pulmonary hypertension during Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS.) The study aims to determine whether iNO has possible hemodynamic and clinical benefits when given early in the course of ARDS to patients with evidence of elevated pulmonary artery pressure.
Thorathic fluid content measurement using indirect cardiometry is required for prediction of Weaning from mechanical ventilation in cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome and its value in sucsess Weaning
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and safety of Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation in preterm infants. IPV has been demonstrated to be safe, and improve airway secretions clearance and decreased atelectasis in pediatric patients. We aim to evaluate the effects of IPV in preterm infants.
The improved survival of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) over the last decades is related to the use of so-called "protective" mechanical ventilation. Two therapies have been shown to increase survival among the most hypoxemic patients (PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg): a continuous use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) for 48 hours in the acute phase of ARDS and prone positioning (PP). NMBAs and PP are part of the latest guidelines from French ICU Society. However, North American guidelines recommend PP for patients with severe ARDS only but not NMBAs, given the results of the ROSE study which did not confirm the benefit on mortality demonstrated in the ACURASYS study. However, in the ROSE study, ventilatory strategy, use of NMBAs and PP were different from the ACURASYS study. Yet, NMBAs and PP are frequently associated in clinical practice, particularly with the COVID-19 pandemic, but also in randomized trials. In the PROSEVA study, almost all the patients (91%) received a continuous infusion of NMBAs during PP. Indeed, there is a common physiopathological rationale in both techniques: they favor the homogenization of transpulmonary pressures (TPP), reduce lung overdistension, Pendelluft effect and thus ventilator induced lung injury (VILI), in particular barotrauma and biotrauma. This reduction of biotrauma has been demonstrated for PP and NMBAs separately, but never by comparing the combined effect of the 2 techniques to each of them separately. This comparison requires reliable tools. In recent years, the "soluble form of the receptor for advanced glycation end products" (sRAGE), a new biomarker specific of pulmonary epithelial aggression and therefore of biotrauma, has been described and evaluated during ARDS and appears to be associated with the severity of pulmonary damage and prognosis. Overall, despite an interesting physiopathological rationale and a clinically widespread practice, there is currently no study evaluating the synergistic effect of PP and NMBAs in the treatment of ARDS, in particular on the prevention of VILI, and more precisely of biotrauma. This question seems crucial to better specify the respective place of each of these treatments in the management strategy of ARDS patients whose prevalence and mortality remain high. The objective of this study is therefore to evaluate, using a recent and reliable biomarker, the synergistic effect of a short-term NMBAs infusion using cisatracurium and PP on the reduction of biotrauma during moderate to severe ARDS. The investigators will compare this "synergistic" treatment to the use of PP alone. They will also evaluate, in secondary objectives, the effects of PP and NMBAs combination on clinical outcomes and on the patients' prognosis.
Early cognitive assessment of critically-ill acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with delirium using a multidimensional electrophysiological evaluation battery (mEEG) to identify and characterize the neural correlates of cognitive dysfunctions associated with delirium (vigilance, attention, semantic and lexical processing, self-processing), and to develop a prognostic evaluation of neurocognitive and psychological disorders using an innovative non-behavioral approach.
1. A predictive model for NARDS was established based on perinatal risk factors. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent prenatal risk factors for NARDS. A Logistic regression model was constructed using the above independent risk factors and quantified in a nomogram to construct a visualization model for prenatal prediction of NARDS. 2. The role of ACS in the prevention and treatment of ARDS in near-term/full-term infants. For neonates with a probability greater than 80% in the prediction model of ARDS, at least one ACS was given before the termination of pregnancy. The GC level of cord blood (taken at birth) and the mRNA levels of α-ENaC, Na-K-atpase and SGK1 in nasal epithelium were measured within 2 hours and 1 day after birth in the ACS intervention group and the control group. The occurrence and severity of pulmonary edema, the occurrence and severity of ARDS, and the mortality rate of NARDS were evaluated by lung ultrasound. The indexes of the two groups were compared horizontally and longitudinally.
