Filter by: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.
Patients with ARDS often suffer a gravity-dependent alveolar collapse, resulting in a reduction of tidal volume, residual alveolar excessive distension, and ventilator-related lung injury(VILI) induced by unreasonable ventilator setting.Prone ventilation (PPV) improves the gravity-dependent alveolar ventilation and promotes lung recruitment in the gravity-dependent area and improves lung compliance. Previous studies showed that prolonged PPV combined with low tidal volume(LTV) lung protected ventilation can significantly reduce the mortality of patients with moderate to severe ARDS.Although more than 60% of patients with moderate to severe ARDS due to COVID-19 has been widely implemented PPV,studies showed an improvement in oxygenation in patients with ARDS(the P/F radio improved by more than 20% before and after PPV) was 9-77%, that is, That is, some patients are unresponsive to PPV. In addition, some patients showed CO2 responsiveness after PPV(ventilation rate (VR) decreased significantly after PPV).The tools for monitoring the effects of PPV on ventilation and blood flow at bedside are still lacking, Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, non-radiative, real-time bedside lung imaging technique that can monitor local lung ventilation distribution. This study intends to use EIT to evaluate pulmonary ventilation, blood flow distribution and local V/Q ratio before and after PPV, as well as to monitor the changes in pulmonary physiology before and after PPV, explore the mechanism of PPV improving oxygenation by combined with the changes in oxygenation, and explore the factors that predict and affect PPV responsiveness.
The goal of this pilot interventional no-profit study is to evaluate airway pressure, esophageal pressure and variations in lung volume distribution with EIT in mechanically ventilated patients admitted to our UTI with respiratory failure after the application of an abdominal weight and resulting increase of intra-abdominal pressure.
Primary aims of the study are to evaluate the feasibility of Skin conductance (SC) measurements and its correlation to Neonatal Pain and Distress Scale (N-PASS) - scores during the Less-Invasive-Surfactant-Administration (LISA)-procedure in preterm infants. Secondary aims are to evaluate the effect of LISA on the general stress-level in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. The assessment of pain and stress with SC measurement in addition to the subjective assessment with N-PASS may provide more conclusive data on the sensation of pain or stress during the LISA procedure and therefore the necessity of analgosedation. Therefore, this study might help to identify those infants in need for analgosedation, which would allow an individualized approach in the future.
