Overview

This non-interventional study focuses on mechanical ventilation used in intensive care unit to supplement ventilatory function in patients. Mechanical ventilation can "paradoxically" be at the origin of complications that can be life-threatening in patients. This muscular pathology is called ventilation-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (DDIV).

Diaphragmatic muscle collected during a digestive surgery for a benign or malignant tumor of the liver requiring surgical excision in contact with the diaphragm from the care will be conserved. The diaphragm biopsy from the care will be retained for biobanking to obtain myoblast in culture which will differentiate in Diaphragm fiber. Then these fibers will be submitted under mechanical stress condition similar to those imposed in vivo by mechanical ventilation to validate in human a model in vitro of diaphragm dysfunction induced by mechanical ventilation. Then the second part of the study will be to evaluate with this model, the efficiency of an antioxidant therapy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • age between 30 and 65 years old
  • patient treated by the digestive surgery department of Montpellier University Hospital for a benign or malignant tumor of the liver requiring surgical excision in contact with the diaphragm
  • Non-smoker patient for more than 6 months
  • patient clinically stable at the time of the study, ie not requiring any treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing treatment with antibiotics or corticosteroids, or recently within the last 4 months
  • Patients with a body mass index > 30
  • Patients with any criteria that may in themselves impair respiratory muscle function such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, systemic infection, neuromuscular pathology, psychiatric pathology or metabolic disorder.

Patients with coagulopathy or thrombocytopenia.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
