Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the new Boussignac-system of non-invasive ventilation is as good as the conventional non-invasive System in patients presenting with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how changing from a supine to upright position affects gas exchange for patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure. The research question is: will oxygen saturation and/or partial pressure of oxygen in the blood change when a patient with hypoxemic respiratory failure moves from a supine to upright position?
A large multicentre, randomized, controlled trial to demonstrate that non invasive ventilation given at an early stage of acute respiratory failure (ARF) outside the intensive care unit (ICU) can prevent the deterioration of ARF and the need for ICU when compared to the best available treatment usually performed in the non-ICU wards.
The investigators hypothesize that by applying a validated algorithm to accomplish early mobilization in surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients, these patients will achieve a higher level of mobility which translates to shorter ICU length of stay and improved functional status at discharge. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that genetic polymorphisms related to muscle strength and sleep will also explain some variance in these outcome variables.
To research the effect of Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) for neonatal respiratory failure.
This is a multicenter randomized controlled open labeled study testing efficacy and tolerance of early launching of night non invasive ventilation in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1(DM1). The object of this project is to estimate the effects of the early introduction of non invasive ventilation on the arisen of complication (non expected hospitalization, tracheostomy even death) with regard to a simple respiratory follow-up in patients affected by myotonic dystrophy.
Acute respiratory failure is a heterogeneous disorder that results in more than 300,000 Americans requiring admission to an intensive care unit for invasive mechanical ventilatory support each year. Though acute respiratory failure is a pulmonary disorder, patients who survive their hospitalization are not limited by respiratory symptoms after discharge. Rather persistent neuromuscular weakness is the primary disorder that adversely alters their quality of life and ability to function on a daily basis. In this application we plan to conduct a randomized clinical trial called the Do It Now study (Diagnosis and Treatment of Neuromuscular Weakness) to determine the effectiveness of an intensive physical therapy program for patients recovering from acute respiratory failure. This trial will establish the efficacy of the physical therapy programs that is currently performed for patients with acute respiratory failure in a non-evidence based manner across the United States.
The purposes of the study are (1) to analyze the baseline patient characteristics cross-sectionally, (2) to analyze the prognosis and its predictive factors and (3) to examine the longitudinal clinical course in the lung transplant candidates in Japan.
Survival after cadaveric lung transplantation in recipients depended on ventilation support prior to transplantation has been reported to have relative high surgical mortality and morbidity rate. The objectives of this study were to describe the short-term outcomes of bilateral sequential lung transplantation under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in a consecutive series of patients who depended on noninvasive and invasive ventilation support preoperatively .
High-risk critically ill patients often require mechanical ventilation either to primarily support the respiratory function or when the ventilation is insufficient to maintain adequate gas exchanges as a result of other organ impairment. In order to tolerate this aggressive mechanical support, enhance patient synchrony with the ventilator, and relieve pain and anxiety, analgesia and sedation are provided. It is suggested that an inappropriate use of sedation and analgesia may prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation and increase the risk of specific adverse outcomes such as ventilator associated pneumonia. Despite the widespread use of sedation, little information is available concerning the effect of varying the level of sedation on patients' subsequent mental health. We designed a randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of sedation with the goal of maintaining the patient cooperative and interactive compared to the administration of sedation with the goal of maintaining the patient sedated. The first goal will be achieved by a discontinuous injection of a sedative, while the second goal will be achieved by a continuous infusion of the same sedative. In both groups pain relief will be provided in the same fashion with equal endpoints on a pain scoring scale. Our primary aim is to investigate whether differences in the occurrence of post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), anxiety, and depression are related to the choice of sedation-analgesia strategies. Secondary endpoints include the length of ICU stay, as indicated by the time to discharge from the ICU, the time to separation from mechanical ventilation, the rates of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary complications, and hospital length of stay. These endpoints will be compared between the two groups.
