Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of vibro-acoustic pulmonary therapy (VAPT) in complex therapy for the acute respiratory failure of mixed type I-II stages in comparison with percussion massage in cardiac surgical patients in the early postoperative period.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of continuous intravenous administration of low dose iloprost versus placebo for 72-hours, in 450 mechanically ventilated patients with infectious respiratory failure. The study hypothesis is that iloprost may be beneficial as an endothelial rescue treatment as it is anticipated to deactivate the endothelium and restore vascular integrity in patients suffering from respiratory failure caused by endothelial breakdown, ultimately improving survival.
Based on early bench-testing data and subsequent clinical case studies in the U.S., "Intrinseque Health" non-rebreathing mask (IHNRM) has delivered virtual elimination of air entrainment and preferential delivery of all available oxygen first into the alveolar spaces by sequential opening of valves in its controller manifold, even at oxygen flow as low as 10 LPM, patient can attain high alveolar oxygen concentration of 75% or more-far higher than attainable with face mask or nasal cannula. Numerous intubated patients emerging from the operating room require intensive critical care specialist supervision in order to transition to the regular care. This would enable higher patient turnover and more efficient utilization of hospital resources, if patient can be transited to the regular care earlier by using a device that supports high oxygenation. This will enable a faster, safe and smooth extubation in critical care, and earlier discharge from intensive care ward. This study is anticipated to take only around 2.5 hour per patient to complete. Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study are placed on IHNRM and monitored until steady state of SpO2 of 95% or higher on 7-10 LPM has been maintained for at least 2 hours, when they can be discharged from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) to the regular care ward. The study is the parallel design study. 60 patients will be randomly selected to use the IHNRM, and 30 subjects will be placed on HFNC. Blood oxygen concentration (SpO2), respiratory rate, end tidal CO2 concentration (EtCO2), and vital sign will be recorded in the study. The endpoint of the study is to compare the effect after using between "IHNRM" and HFNC.
This is a phase IIa, dose-ranging, proof-of-concept study of MRG-001 in patients with ARDS. The aim is to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of MRG-001 across two dose ranges.
Emergency intubation is routinely performed in the prehospital setting. Airway management in the prehospital setting has substantial challenges, such as hostile environment or lack of technical support in case of first attempt intubation failure, and inherent risk of complications, such as hypoxemia, aspiration or oesophageal intubation. This risk is higher when several attempts are needed to succeed endotracheal intubation. Thus, a successful first attempt intubation is highly desirable to avoid adverse intubation-related events. Noteworthy, prehospital emergency intubation is associated with a lower rate of first attempt intubation success when compared to emergency intubation in the emergency department (ED). Research is needed to overcome the specific challenges of airway management in the prehospital setting, and to improve the safety and efficiency of prehospital emergency intubation. Literature reports that the use of assistive devices such as bougie may increase the rate of first-attempt intubation success in the ED. To date, no randomized trial has ever studied this device in the prehospital setting. Thus, the aim of the BETA trial is to compare first attempt intubation success facilitated by the bougie versus the endotracheal tube alone in the prehospital setting.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the frequency of use of incentive spirometry during the stay in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) increases with visual and auditory electronic reminders, as compared to not having those reminders.
Background The exacerbation of respiratory failure that occurs after endotracheal intubation often occurs in patients who have received mechanical ventilation therapy, and when it occurs, it emerges as an important issue to consider reintubation of endotracheal intubation. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) through nasal cannula is known to produce positive airway pressure and deliver a certain amount of oxygen, and recently reported clinical studies have demonstrated the effect of lowering the risk of reintubation after endotracheal intubation, which is recommended for use in recent clinical practice guidelines. However, in patients at high risk of intubation failure, the combination of high-flow oxygen therapy and non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation therapy rather than the application of high-flow oxygen therapy alone through nasal cannula is helpful in reducing the rate of reintubation of endotracheal intubation. However, an alternative to non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation therapy is needed as there is a possibility of complications such as aspiration pneumonia, maladaptation of the application device (mask), and discomfort, making it difficult to apply it in the field. Recently, it has been reported that high flow oxygen therapy through an asymmetric nasal cannula forms sufficient positive pressure in terms of respiratory dynamics, which makes the patient feel comfortable and reduces work of breath. However, no clinical studies have yet compared physiological effects using this method in patients at high risk of extubation failure. Goal The investigators would like to compare the physiological effects of high flow oxygen therapy through 'asymmetric nasal cannula' with high flow oxygen therapy through 'standard nasal cannula' in patients identified as high-risk groups for valvular failure. Hypothesis 'Asymmetric nasal cannula' reduces work of breath compared to 'standard nasal cannula' in high-risk patients with valvular failure.
Sleep disturbance is one of the most common complaints of patients admitted to ICU. Insufficient sleep in intensive care units may be associated with environmental reasons such as excessive light at night, loud warning sounds and mechanical ventilation alarms, as well as non-environmental factors, including the situation at the time of admission. Sleep assessment is subjective in nature, so it is difficult to perform in the ICU. Since communication with the patient is prevented, clear information about perceived rest and disturbing factors cannot be provided. For this reason, night rest is an issue that is often forgotten and ignored. This study applied a mixture of lavender, medicinal chamomile and neroli oil (in 20 ml of sweet almond oil; lavender oil 2 drops, medicinal chamomile 4 drops, neroli oil 6 drops) to patients who were monitored in intensive care on high-flow and oxygen, once a day for three days. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of aromatherapy massage applied for a total of 30 minutes on sleep quality.
Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) experience physical and psychological discomfort, including pain. Anxiety is a condition frequently encountered in the ICU. The hospital environment, especially the ICU, is reported as a significant cause of anxiety for patients. Comfort is a holistic, subjective and multidimensional concept that is affected by physical, environmental, social and psycho-spiritual contexts and changes over time and space. Comfort in intensive care is often associated with pain relief and end-of-life care. Assessment tools have been developed to measure patient comfort in the ICU, including levels of pain, delirium, and sedation. This work; Patients who are monitored in intensive care under high-flow and oxygen are treated with a mixture of lavender, thyme and eucalyptus oil (20 ml; lavender oil 5 drops, thyme oil 4 drops, eucalyptus oil 3 drops and 20 ml almond oil) twice a day for three days. This study was conducted to determine the effect of aromatherapy massage applied for a total of 30 minutes on some physiological parameters, pain, anxiety and intensive care comfort of the patients.
During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), oxygenation of the patient on the pump can be left completely under pump control, or the lungs can be ventilated with low tidal volume to reduce atelectasis. In recent years, the concept of mechanical power has been used to determine the extent of ventilator-related lung damage. This concept of mechanical power, by which the energy transferred by the ventilator to the lungs can be calculated, will be measured at certain intervals in CPB surgery patients on the pump and compared between the two groups. The investigators aimed to investigate the effect of two different ventilation methods on mechanical power and its relationship with postoperative pulmonary complications.
