Filter by:Acute respiratory failure represents a frequent cause of admission to intensive care units (ICUs). In the absence of tailored interventions, it poses an imminent threat to patients' lives. Most patients admitted in ICU undergo fluid expansion to enhance oxygen delivery and preserve cellular function. This practice is grounded in the concept of " preload responsiveness ". However, the accrual of positive fluid balance resulting from fluid administration is now acknowledged as an autonomous risk factor for mortality. Consequently, preload unresponsiveness assumes a pathological character, potentially indicative of fluid overload or right ventricular dysfunction, both deleterious conditions linked to unfavorable outcomes. Maintaining patients in a preload-responsive state may be interesting to limit fluid expansion and the need of invasive mechanical ventilation. The objective of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the prognostic significance of preload responsiveness in patients admitted to the ICU with hypoxemic, non-hypercapnic respiratory failure. - Main objective: To evaluate the association between fluid responsiveness, assessed by the inferior vena cava collapsibility index (cIVC) with trans-thoracic echocardiography within the initial 48 hours post-ICU admission, and mortality or the need for invasive mechanical ventilation by day 28 in patients admitted to the ICU for hypoxemic, non-hypercapnic acute respiratory failure. - Secondary objectives: To evaluate the association between fluid responsiveness and mortality at day 28 and day 90, the need of invasive mechanical ventilation, and the number of days free from organ support (vasopressors, mechanical ventilation and renal replacement therapy) by day 28. Upon receipt of both oral and written information, patients will provide non-objection to participate in the study. This prospective single-center study has obtained approval from the Regional Ethics Committee of Ile de France III approval (No. 2022-A02813-40).
The goal of this is prospective cohort study is to to study the relationship between PaO2 and SpO2 in the overall population undergoing general anesthesia in the OT. Secondary aims include studying the relationship between PaO2 and SpO2 in elderly and obese patients undergoing general anesthesia in the OT, validating the derivation of PaO2 from SpO2 using formulas derived by Rice, Pandharipande, and Gadrey in patients undergoing general anesthesia in the OT, and, if the derivation formulas were not valid, to derive a formula for patients undergoing general anesthesia in the OT. The included blood samples are arterial blood sample collected for ABGs analysis through either an arterial catheter or an arterial blood puncture in adult patients (Age >18 years) undergoing general anesthesia regardless of the acuity of the surgery (elective, emergency, or lifesaving), the hemodynamic stability of the patient, or the comorbidities. Patients undergoing cardiac or thoracic surgeries will be excluded.
Before birth, the baby's lungs are filled with fluid and babies do not use the lungs to breathe, as the oxygen comes from the placenta. As delivery approaches, the lungs begin to absorb the fluid. After vaginal delivery, the umbilical cord is clamped and cut after a delay that allows some of the blood in the umbilical cord and placenta to flow back into the baby. Meanwhile, as the baby breathes for the first time, the lungs fill with air and more fluid is pushed out. However, it does not always work out that way. A baby born prematurely may have breathing problems because of extra fluid staying in the lungs related to the immaturity of the lung structure. Thus, the baby must breathe quicker and harder to get enough oxygen enter into the lungs. The newborn is separated from the mother to provide emergency respiratory support. Although the baby is usually getting better within one or two days, the treatment requires close monitoring, breathing help, and nutritional help as the baby is too tired to suck and swallow milk. Sometimes, the baby cannot recover well and show greater trouble breathing needing intensive care. This further separates the mother and her baby. A possible mean to help the baby to adapt better after a premature birth while staying close to the mother is to delay cord clamping when efficient breathing is established, either spontaneously or after receiving breathing help at birth. In this study, we intend to test this procedure in moderate or late preterm infants and see whether the technique helps the baby to better adapt after birth and to better initiate a deep bond with the mother.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether SBCT is a useful tool for diagnosing the main form of failure respiratory acute and to define the SBCT limit associated with insufficiency respiratory in this population, the requirement for NIV or invasive ventilation. Furthermore, the correlation with the most common scores and indices used in the emergency room will be studied, such as: HACOR, MEW, REMS SCORE, ROS, CURB-65, qSOFA, SEVERITY INDEX OF PNEUMONIA, GWTG HF, LUNG ULTRASOUND SCORE, SINGLE BREATH COUNT
The aim of our study is to compare between the effect of nebulized and intravenous injection of hypertonic saline 3% on the outcome of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a heterogeneous syndrome with similar clinicopathological feathers caused by different etiologies. Respiratory supportive strategies is the main ARDS management, and the guidelines recommend low tidal volume to improve clinical outcomes. To be note, overdistension can still occur even if using a tidal volume as low as 6 ml/kg, given the heterogeneous nature of the syndrome. Therefore, adjusting tidal volume level to less than 6ml/kg may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and thus improve outcomes, especially in patients with severe lung injury. Prone position is also an important management in severe ARDS. Prone position can improve ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) matching and reduce the risk of VILI by recruiting dorsal collapsed alveoli. Meanwhile, prone position has also been shown to improve hemodynamics. Recent studies have showed that prone position did not reduce duration of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) and 90-day mortality in patients with ARDS who receive VV-ECMO with ultra-low tidal volume ventilation. Therefore, the effect of PP on ventilation and lung blood flow in ARDS patients treated with VV-ECMO wiht ultra-low tidal volume ventilation remains unclear.
We aim to prospectively assess the burden, management and therapeutic approaches and outcomes of acute respiratory failure requiring respiratory support, during the winter months in China. The purpose of this study is to provide new and current data on the disease burden of acute respiratory failure and ARDS. It will answer the following questions: - The frequency and disease burden of acute respiratory failure in China; - The incidence of ARDS based on the new global definition within this patient cohort. - The mortality of ARDS within this cohort, and how does this vary based on ARDS categories and severity. - The long-term outcomes (1-year mortality and survivor quality of life) of ARDS within this cohort. - The nature course of ARDS (different stages and severity of ARDS). - The respiratory support management strategies, such as recruitment maneuvers, prone positioning, ECCO2R, and ECMO. - The use of drugs during ICU stays, including glucocorticoid, anticoagulant, nitric oxide, sivelestat, Xuebijing, and ulinastatin. - The economical burden of acute respiratory failure within this patient cohort. - The impact of occupation, incomes and education levels on the incidence and mortality of ARDS.
The aim of the study is to determine if a narrower SpO2 Target Range setting automated control of FiO2 (A-FiO2) is more effective than a wider SpO2 Target Range
This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of sedation protocol targeting optimal respiratory drive using P0.1 and arousal level compared with conventional sedation strategy (targeting arousal level alone) in patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the medical intensive care unit.
The prone maneuver is a well-established therapy in ARDS. Traditionally, the maneuver is perform with thoraco-abdominal cushions. The goal of this study is assess, using electrical impedance tomography, whether the arrangement mode of the cushions alters lung recruitment during the prone maneuver in patients with moderate to severe ARDS.
