Filter by:Ninety adult patients from both gender, with acute respiratory failure, intubated and mechanically ventilated. Their ages ranged from 50 to 70 years. They were selected from Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Department of Chest Diseases, Cairo University Hospitals. They have randomly assigned into three equal groups. Group (A): trained by threshold IMT device plus routine physical therapy. Group (B): trained by adjusting MV trigger sensitivity plus routine physical therapy. Group (C): only received routine physical therapy. (Negative inspiratory force NIF, arterial blood gases, P/F ration, respiratory rate RR, tidal volume VT, and rapid shallow breathing index RSBI) were measured before the study and at the end of the study (just before weaning for successfully weaned patients, or on the 10 day of intervention for failed weaning patients).
The goal of this diagnostic study is to validate estimation of inspiratory muscle pressure by an artificial intelligence algorithm compared to the gold standard, the measure from an esophageal catheter balloon, in patients under assisted mechanical ventilation. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Are inspiratory muscle pressure estimates from an artificial intelligence algorithm accurate when compared to the direct measure from an esophageal balloon? Participants will be monitored with an esophageal balloon and with an artificial intelligence algorithm simultaneously, with inspiratory muscle pressure estimation during assisted mechanical ventilation with decremental levels of pressure support.
Measurements of esophageal pressure (Pes) as surrogate for pleural pressure are routinely performed in selected ICU patients to facilitate lung-protective ventilation and assess breathing effort. Pes is clinically measured via a nasogastric esophageal catheter. Current techniques involve balloon catheters but have some important disadvantages as they could deflate over time and require a very precise positioning and filling volume. A solid-state sensor does not have disadvantages associated with balloon catheters and may therefore be a useful alternative in clinical practice. This method-comparison study in adult mechanically ventilated ICU patients evaluates the accuracy of Pes measured using an esophageal catheter with a solid-state sensor as compared to a balloon catheter as reference standard.
High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy is an upcoming and beneficial modality for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). To evaluate whether early use of HFNO in pneumonia patients with (AHRF) can reduce the need for invasive ventilation.
We hypothesized that diaphragm thickness is concerned in acute respiratory failure of COVID19 patients and its ultrasound measure at the begining of hospitalisation is a good predictor of poor outcome. A prospective observational non intervention study is designed.
High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy is increasingly used for hypoxemic respiratory failure and is proving useful in avoiding or delaying intubation and mechanical ventilation. However, basic information regarding the physiologic effects of this method is missing. In this study, the effects of oxygen delivery by HFNC on oxygenation, ventilation and cardiovascular vital signs in patients with mild hypoxemic respiratory failure were evaluated.
Background: In acute hypoxic respiratory failure, high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen treatment is gaining popularity. However, there is just a small body of research to back up the use of HFNC in acute respiratory failure (ARF) with hypercapnia. Aim of study: To evaluate the effectiveness of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in reducing the rate of endotracheal intubation and PCO2 level in adult patients with Acute moderate type II respiratory failure in comparison to noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV). Methods : A randomized control trial that was conducted on patients with acute moderate hypercapnic respiratory failure ARF (arterial blood gases pH 7.25-7.35, PaCO2>45 mmHg) who were admitted to respiratory and medical critical care units from September 2020 through February 2022 and received HFNC or NIV .The endpoint was treatment failure, which was indicated by either invasive ventilation or mortality .
Rib fractures are the most frequent injury after blunt thoracic trauma. It is very important to choose the most appropriate interventions to prevent complications. But who will benefit most of those interventions remains a challenge. This study analyses the correlation between chest X-Ray and CT scan. We also analyse different scores to predict respiratory failure.
8 weeks of inspiratory muscle training combined with a pulmonary rehabilitation program increases respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional capacity, and quality of life in chest burned children.
Opioids are commonly prescribed for moderate to severe pain. While initially intended for moderate to severe acute and cancer pain, opioids are currently frequently considered and prescribed in chronic noncancer pain. Due to the large increase in opioid prescription rate, the number of unintentional drug overdoses is rapidly increasing, not only in the Unites States but also in the Netherlands. A potential lethal consequence of an opioid overdose is opioid-induced respiratory depression. Additionally, it is well known that opioids are often used (and abused) in combination with other legal or illicit substances, for example alcohol, benzodiazepines, cannabis, neuropathic pain medication including the anticonvulsant pregabaline. There are no high-quality data on the interaction between oxycodone and (neuropathic pain) medication on the ventilatory control system. Case reports and randomized studies show that pregabalin induces respiratory depression when combined with opioids. Some alternatives to pregabalin may have a better safety profile. One such alternative is lacosamide, an antiepileptic with a different mode of action than pregabalin, and effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain. The hypothesis is that in contrast to lacosamide, pregabalin will increase the respiratory depressant effect of low-dose oxycodone. The objective of the study is to quantify the effect of pregabalin and lacosamide on oxycodone-induced respiratory depression. 24 participants will be screened beforehand if subjects meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. If so, the subjects will visit the hospital twice. On both occasions, participants will take a 10 mg oxycodone tablet and 90 minutes after a capsule of pregabalin or lacosamide. The order of visits will be randomized. During the visits, at set time points the hypercapnic ventilatory response will be measured, relief of nociception, pupil diameter and several side effects other than respiratory depression. There will be a washout period of 7 days between study visits with the study ending after 2 visits. Amendment: In order to get an impression of the effect of 10 mg oxycodone per se, one open label arm of just 10 mg oxycodone was added as a visit 3. Since the procedures in this third arm will be identical to the two blinded arms, no changes will be made to any of the procedures apart from not administering any lacosamide or pregabalin.
