Comparing High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen and Noninvasive Ventilation to Standard Oxygenation in Non-selected ICU Patients Admitted for Hypoxemic ARF
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether one of the two oxygenation or ventilation strategies (NIV and/or HFNO) is superior to standard oxygen to reduce 28-day mortality rate in hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (ARF) patients.
Improving Non-invasive Ventilation
A single center, observational, prospective study to improve knowledge about non-invasive ventilation, obtaining data about compliance, efficacy, imaging in patients who already receive non-invasive ventilation as standard of care.
Waveform Capnography Compared to Colorimetric Carbon Dioxide Detection During Tracheal Intubation of Critically Ill Adults
This study will compare the sensitivity and specificity of waveform capnography versus colorimetric carbon dioxide detection to identify tracheal placement of the endotracheal tube during intubation of critically ill adults.
Non-Invasive Ventilation Versus High-flow Nasal Oxygen in Intensive Care Units
In intensive care units (ICUs), around 20% of patients experience respiratory failure after planned extubation. Nearly 40-50% of them eventually require reintubation with subsequently high mortality rates reaching 30-40%. NIV used as rescue therapy to treat post-extubation respiratory failure could increase the risk of death. However, NIV may avoid reintubation …
Positioning of Children With Acute Respiratory Insufficiency
Acute respiratory insufficiency is one of the most common causes of hospitalization and death among young children. It often affects small children who, due to infections with RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), other cold viruses, or bacteria, experience difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, low oxygen levels in the blood, …
Brain-lung Interaction During Acute Respiratory Failure
Acute hypoxemic de novo respiratory failure (AHRF) is a common cause of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Its main cause is community-acquired pneumonia. Prevention of intubation relies, among other things, on high-flow nasal canulae (HFNC). However, approximately 40% of patients are intubated despite HFNC. Our team has developed …
PEEP in Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has become an essential component of the care of critically ill patients who require ventilatory support. In 1975, several investigators published the effects of PEEP in 15 mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) supported by mechanical ventilation. FiO2 ranged between 21% to 75% and …
Anticoagulation-free VV ECMO for Acute Respiratory Failure
Currently international experts recommend therapeutic anticoagulation for veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Reports and case series suggest that the absence of therapeutic anticoagulation is safe for VV-ECMO. No randomized control trials have assessed this. The aim of this pilot study is to assess safety and feasibility of an "anticoagulation-free strategy" …
Noninvasive Technique and High Flow Nasal Oxygen in Respiratory Failure
After obtaining Institutional Ethical Committee approval of Faculty of Medicine, Minia University and written informed consent from patients or first- degree relatives, this prospective randomized non-blind comparative study will be conducted in adult intensive care unit (ICU) of Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Pain management department Minia university hospital over a …
Characterization of Tuberculosis Associated Lung Fibrosis and Respiratory Impairment, and Prevention Using Doxycycline
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy(effectiveness) of doxycycline, a potent inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (lung collagenase) activity in prevention of Tuberculosis associated lung fibrosis and associated lung function decline among patients with drug sensitive advanced TB. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: Does …
