Filter by:The current study is a crossover trial, aiming at evaluating the effect of NAVA -NIV compared to Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (PC-NIV) at the same level of peak inspiratory pressure, in terms of: breath-by-breath variability of tidal breathing amplitude, variability of the other breathing patterns; lung mechanics; gas exchange; rate of episodes of apnea; bradycardia and desaturations; respiratory asynchrony and comfort, in preterm infants < 37+0 weeks+days post-menstrual age.
The renal Doppler resistive index (RRI) is a noninvasive tool that has been used to assess renal perfusion in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Many parameters have been described as influential on the values of renal RI. Mechanical ventilation is associated with significant increases in the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). Ventilator-induced kidney injury (VIKI) is believed to occur due to changes in hemodynamics that impair renal perfusion. The investigators hypothesized that patients who need mechanical ventilation should have a different response in RRI when different levels of Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) are applied. Investigators wish to describe changing in RRI due to changes in PEEP and to verify whether these changes could partially explain the occurrence of VIKI
During One-lung ventilation, the use of lower tidal volumes (VT) is helpful to avoid over-distension, provide sufficient oxygenation, but can result in increased atelectasis. Nevertheless, it is not known if, during one-lung ventilation with constant low VT, moderate levels of PEEP combined with lung recruitment maneuvers are superior to variable PEEP for intraoperative oxygenation and protection against PPCs. Aim of the study is to compare a strategy using constant tidal volume with recruitment maneuvers versus variable PEEP with recruitment maneuvers during thoracic surgery in adults. The investigators hypothesize that in adult, non-obese patients undergoing thoracic surgery under standardized OLV with variable PEEP and recruitment maneuvers as compared to constant PEEP without recruitment maneuvers prevent PPCs. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: FIX PEEP VOLUME GROUP (Groupfix): mechanical ventilation with constant (6 ml/kgIBW) tidal volume and PEEP of 5 cmH2O with recruitment maneuvers VARIABLE PEEP GROUP (Groupvar): mechanical ventilation with constant (6 ml/kgIBW) tidal volume with variable PEEP with recruitment maneuvers.
Although more than 50% of survivors of critical illness experience one or more post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) problems, there are still no validated interventions for the management of PICS. The long-term goal of this study is to develop and refine in-person and telehealth strategies for the delivery of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) recovery care for the treatment of PICS.
The purpose of this study is to assess the left diastolic function at different levels of in patients affected by the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
This proposal will test the feasibility of implementing an assist volume control ventilation protocol in patients receiving mechanical ventilation in the medical intensive care unit. The trial will consist of a before-and-after trial design of block assignment to either adaptive pressure control (baseline) or assist volume control . This is a feasibility study looking at the management of patients in the ventilator.
This study aims to validate a semi-automatized method to quantify cyclic hyperinflation on CT-scan of ARDS patients. The gold standard will be cyclic hyperinflation assessed on the same CT scan, using manual segmentation of the lung.
This is a stepped-wedge, cluster randomized, trial evaluating the effect of an early goal-directed mobilization intervention for ICU patients with acute respiratory failure within 12 medical and surgical ICUs across 4 hospitals in the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The investigators will conduct a 54-week trial to measure the effect of the intervention on multiple patient-centered outcomes of patient physical function and cognition, in addition to ICU and hospital length of stay and duration of mechanical ventilation compared to usual care.
This is a Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study to assess the safety and efficacy of a single dose of Allogeneic Bone Marrow-derived Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (hMSCs) infusion in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). This study is the extension of the Phase 1 pilot study (NCT01775774) and Phase 2a study (NCT02097641).
The primary object of this clinical study is to investigate the efficacy of HLCM051 in patients with ARDS caused by pneumonitis.
