Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation for Apnea Detected by Capnography
After surgery, patients often recover in a special area called the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Patients may receive pain medications either during the surgery or afterward in the PACU. While these medications are important for controlling pain, some of them can slow down breathing. To ensure patients' breathing remains …
Noninvasive Support Methods for Acute Respiratory Failure of Community-acquired Pneumonia
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of high-velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) versus standard noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in adult patients experiencing acute exacerbations of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) accompanied by hypoxemic respiratory failure. The primary focus is on assessing treatment failure within 48 hours, defined as the …
Echography-guided Surfactant THERapy (ESTHER) For Preterm Infants With Respiratory Failure
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is the use of ultrasound by the bedside provider in real time to answer a specific question and guide medical management. POCUS can be used to diagnose the severity of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) through a lung ultrasound score. Lung ultrasound scores have also been shown …
Azithromycin Treatment for Respiratory Syncytial Virus-induced Respiratory Failure in Children
The overarching hypothesis of the ARRC trial is that administration of Azithromycin (AZM) during acute, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)-induced respiratory failure will be beneficial, mediated through the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 pathway.
Viscoelastic Testing Guided Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treatment in Acute Respiratory Failure
Patients with coronavirus disease (COVID) and non-COVID acute respiratory failure (ARF) may be at an increased risk of thrombosis due to increased clot formation and decreased clot lysis. This two stage study aims to utilise bedside coagulation technology to detect patients at increased risk and guide tPA treatment to maximise …
Respiratory Muscle Structure and Function in Mechanically Ventilated Patients and Long-term Outcomes
Air is normally pumped in and out of the lungs by the muscles that contribute to inhalation and exhalation, called the respiratory muscles. The abdominal muscles help by forcing air out of your lungs during exhalation; whereas the diaphragm, the main muscle used for breathing, contracts to get air into …
Diaphragm Dysfunction and Ultrasound Perioperatively
This study aims at determining whether diaphragm ultrasound examining diaphragm thickening fraction, excursion and density before and after surgery can predict respiratory complications in the postoperative period. Patients scheduled for major elective abdominal, pelvic or vascular surgery will be included in the study and diaphragm ultrasound is performed before surgery …
Effectiveness of Platform-Based Lateralization Therapy in Reducing Interface Pressure Between The Patient And The Support Surface
Pressure injury (PI) is characterized as damage to the skin and/or underlying tissues resulting from sustained pressure or a combination of pressure and shear forces between the patient and the support surface. Prolonged pressure is a well-established risk factor in the development of PIs. Frequent repositioning and routine patient care …
Physiological Effects of Continuous Negative External Pressure for Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
This study is being conducted to evaluate if wearing a non-invasive breathing support device over the chest/abdomen improves markers of breathing in patients with lung injury requiring high-flow oxygen. The breathing support device consists of a plastic shell that sits over the chest and abdomen and connects to a vacuum …
Advanced Prediction of Respiratory Depression Episode Using the Linshom Continuous Predictive Respiratory Sensor
Investigators will enroll 320 patients who will undergo non-cardiac surgery, receive supplemental oxygen via face mask, and will be on a continuous pulse oximetry monitor in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). The enrollment criteria were adapted from a previous study that showed SpO2 values seriously underestimated the severity of …
