An Antibiotic Protocol Guided by a Multimodal Approach in AECOPD With Pneumonia in Intensive Care
Investigators propose to conduct a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, assessing the interests of an antibiotic protocol guided by the combined use of serum procalcitonin (PCT) and a broad-panel respiratory multiplex PCR (mPCR) to reduce duration of antibiotics exposure in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) hospitalized in intensive care …
Long-term Alterations of Host-microbiome Interactions and Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases Progression After Pneumonia
The HOMI-LUNG - HAP study is part of the HOMI-LUNG project, funded by the Horizon Europe program. The "HOMI-LUNG" project is an international, interdisciplinary project that aims to better understand the causal links between respiratory tract infections (i.e. pneumonia) and the progression of cardiovascular disease. More specifically, the project aims …
Immune Profile and Respiratory Parameters in Down Syndrome Children With Acute Pneumonia: Pre-Intervention Analysis
Baseline serum IgG, IgA, IgM (nephelometry), total WBC count (automated analyzer), RR (manual count), and SaO2 (pulse oximetry) were measured. Pearson or Spearman correlations were used to assess relationships between immune and respiratory variables, and with age
Awake Prone Positioning in Spontaneous Breathing Patients With Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure Due to Pneumonia
Prone positioning has shown beneficial effects in intubated patients with severe respiratory failure and positive effects in awake patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Conclusive evidence for patients with AHRF without COVID-19 is still missing. The investigators hypothesis that awake prone position in patients with AHRF is superior to standard supine/semi-recumbent position …
HYDROcortisone Versus Placebo for Severe HospItal-acquired Pneumonia in Intensive Care Patients: the HYDRO-SHIP Study
The use of corticosteroids in patients with severe community pneumonia, bacterial infection which kills lots of patients around the world, reduces the mortality of this infection. However, there are no studies with this type of drug regarding hospital-acquired pneumonia. This will be the first multicenter randomized trial to test hydrocortisone …
Dynamic Airway Resistance & ML: Guide Sputum Suction in Ventilated Patients
Research has shown that timely suctioning not only improves survival rates but also enhances the quality of life in ventilator-dependent patients. However, clinical judgment on the optimal timing for suctioning currently relies primarily on physician experience, lacking scientific evidence \[10\]. Airway viscous resistance reflects the frictional resistance encountered by gas …
The Efficacy and Safety of Corticosteroids in Combination With Ruxolitinib in the Management of Checkpoint Inhibitor Pneumonia
This study is a prospective multicenter randomized controlled Interventional study, to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of corticosteroids compared to corticosteroids in combination with Ruxolitinib in the treatment of severe checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis.
Rapid De-escalation of Anti-MRSA Therapy Guided by S. Aureus Nares Screening in Case of Pneumonia
The current IDSA/ATS guidelines recommend Linezolid and Vancomycin for MRSA coverage in hospitalized patients with pneumonia, which is common clinical practice in Italy. However, a nasal PCR-assay for MRSA has a high negative predictive value and can facilitate rapid antibiotic de-escalation, thereby avoiding unnecessary anti-MRSA treatments. The indiscriminate use of …
A Study to Evaluate Role of Inhaled Amikacin to Prevent Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in Patients With Cirrhosis
The recent AMIKINHAL trial found that prophylactic inhaled amikacin was effective in lowering the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in ICU patients. Since aspiration is a common complication of cirrhosis patients with HE (7 out of 10 patients develop some type of HE) who are hospitalized to the liver ICU also …
Effect of Diluent Volume on Colistin Inhalation Therapy
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of different diluent volumes for the same dosage of colistin in mechanically ventilated respiratory patients receiving colistin inhalation therapy. The study aims to determine whether the diluent volume has an effect on clinical outcomes, including ICU length of stay, total …
