Early Versus Late Initiation of ECMO (Extracorporal Membrane Oxygenation) Trial (ELIEO-Trial)
This trial is a prospective randomized multicenter trial that assigns patients to either a treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) with an Extracorporal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) immediately after admission to the intensive care unit or conservative treatment. The later can undergo ECMO following failure of conservative therapy as a …
Taiwan Real-world LDCT Screening Behavior and Outcome Research for High Risk Subjects Based on Health Promotion Administration
Lung cancer is the leading cause of mortality in the world, and also in Taiwan.Despite the researches and availability in new therapies, it causes the highest mortality and is one of the most preventable cancers as well. Smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer worldwide. Compared to lung …
Effect of Continuous Prolonged Prone Position Versus Intermittent Daily Prone Position in ARDS
Prone position (placing the patient on his abdomen) has been shown to be an effective intervention to decrease mortality in adults connected to mechanical ventilation for moderate to severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Patients may require one or more sessions of prone position. However, the optimal duration of prone …
Specimen and Clinical Data Collection Plan for LDCT Screening Participants
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in Taiwan and globally, with increasing incidence and the highest healthcare cost burden among cancers in Taiwan. Despite the widespread use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for screening smokers, over half of lung cancer cases in Taiwan occur in never-smokers, highlighting …
JUST BREATHE, Breathing Life Into Innovative Therapies for ARDS (Master Record)
This is a Phase 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of host-directed therapeutics in hospitalized adults diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) utilizing a platform trial design. Participants will be randomized to receive either a placebo or one of the active treatments. …
Extended Prone Positioning for Intubated ARDS
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acutely induced respiratory failure characterised by the appearance of bilateral alveolar opacities on imaging and hypoxemia(1). Among strategies that have proved beneficial in terms of patient outcome, prone position (PP) is one associated with the greatest impact in terms of reduction in mortality, …
Practices of Prone Positioning Ventilation in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe ARDS in Intensive Care Units: A Registry-Based Observational Study
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major cause of mortality in intensive care units. Prone position ventilation (PPV) is an important component of ARDS management and has been shown to reduce mortality in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS. However, substantial heterogeneity exists in treatment response to PPV. Previous studies suggest …
Dead Space and Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
The goal of this observational study is to determine whether a marker of dead space (the end-tidal to alveolar dead space fraction \[AVDSf\]) is more strongly associated with mortality risk than markers of oxygenation abnormality (oxygenation index) and to determine whether dead space (AVDSf) is an important marker of heterogeneity …
Immune Mechanisms and ECMO Strategies for Moderate-to-Severe ARDS
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) poses a major threat to human health. Despite extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, mortality among patients with ARDS remains high due to severe complications and suboptimal mechanical ventilation strategies. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying ECMO-related complications and lung injury repair, and establishing a precision intervention pathway …
Dexamethasone Treatment for Sepsis-associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: a Multicenter, Randomised, Double-blinded, Controlled Trial
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major cause of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in critically ill patients and is associated with substantial mortality. Current management is largely supportive, and no pharmacologic therapy has been shown consistently to reduce mortality in a broad population of patients with ARDS. Inflammation plays …
