Filter by:The weaning failure is a paramount challenge when aggressive discontinuation of respiratory support in ARDS. The aim of the study is to improve weaning safety and efficacy by a transient postextubation non-invasive respiratory support.
Rationale: In COVID19 single-targeted immunomodulation, mostly via an IL-6 receptor blocker, was used by a one-size fits all non-targeted approach. In future pandemics the same might occur. However, for individual patients, this might not yield optimal treatment. Objectives: This project aims to identify a way to individualize and target immunomodulation, using COVID19 as a testcase for the future. - Identify immunological pathways which are associated with outcome in C-ARDS. - Test whether an individualized biomarker-based approach has an effect on outcome and costs when using single-target immunomodulation in C-ARDS(Tocilizumab, Anakinra, etc.). - Explore whether other immunological pathways were present in patients with C-ARDS which could have been intervened with medication which is already available and has been described in ARDS or similar diseases. Study type: Retrospective observational multicenter study in the Netherlands. Study population: Adult patients (≥ 18 years) hospitalized and admitted to the ICU with COVID-19 and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (i.e., receiving invasive mechanical ventilation) will be included. Intervention (if applicable): Not applicable (retrospective study design). Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Given the retrospective nature of the study, no burden, risks or benefits for the patient are associated with participation. The target population of this study is specific to hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping on blood gas parameters, respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and pressure limits in preterm infants with RDS who are on NIV. It is hypothesized that the application of kinesio taping to the chest area of preterm infants may improve respiratory functions and oxygenation at the alveolar level, leading to decreased work of breathing, reduced respiratory rate, and improved neonatal stability by promoting respiratory mechanics and enhancing chest expansion.
Data comparing respiratory drive and effort in critically ill patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome associated to different severity of COVID-19 penumonia (CARDS) and to other risk factors are lacking. Objectives: To assess respiratory drive and effort of CARDS patients at the first transition from controlled to assisted spontaneous breathing. The second aim was the rate of a composite outcome including the need of higher level of sedation
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a life-support technique used in patients with most severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS is a life-threatening form of respiratory failure associated with a mortality rate of approximately 40-45%.Despite several studies confirming a real benefit of the use of ECMO in patients with ARDS who are unresponsive to conventional management, ECMO is still a complex and costly treatment that can be exposed to potential complications, such as nosocomial infections (NI).
Immediate skin-to-skin contact (SSC) is already standard care for healthy term newborns, but its use for term or preterm newborns requiring admission to neonatal unit (NICU) with or without respiratory support is challenging. This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of SSC during the transfer of newborn infants, using a new purpose-built mobile shuttle care-station, called "Tandem". A monocentric prospective observational study was conducted at the tertiary referral center of the Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium Infants born with a birth weight above 1500g were eligible. Following initial stabilization, infants were placed in SSC with one of their parents and transferred to the NICU using the Tandem.
We conducted an observation sub-study of the prospective randomized controlled trial "High Dose Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure", in which we analysed the echocardiographic data collected both at baseline when patients where included and 3-5 days later for followup.
The usability of a new PNEUMACRIT system is studied in clinical environment in this feasibility study.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), marked by acute hypoxemia and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, has undergone multiple definitions over the years. Challenges persist regarding the ARDS definitions, leading to various revisions. Through the Delphi study, the investigators aims to gather global opinions on the conceptual framework of ARDS, assess the utility of current and past definitions, and explore the role of subphenotyping. The diverse panel's collective expertise will contribute valuable insights for refining future ARDS definitions and enhancing clinical management.
The goal of this observational study is to determine the relationship between the nutritional profile of critically ill patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and disease severity, prognosis, and survival, to assess the ability to meet nutritional goals, EN complications, and reasons for discontinuation and postponement of feeding. The main questions aim to answer are the relationship between the duration of EN initiation and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) score, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), oxygenation status, MV, ICU, and length of hospital stay, overall mortality, and whether nutritional goals were met, EN complications, and reasons for discontinuation and postponement.
