Pilot Physiological Evaluation of an Investigational Mask with Expiratory Washout.
The goal of this pilot randomized cross-over study is to compare the effect of a full-face mask with expiratory washout to a conventional full face mask on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with acute hypercapnic, and acute hypoxemic, respiratory failure. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a …
Comparison of Two SpO2 Targets With Two Different Oximeters - Impact on FiO2 During Nasal High Flow Oxygen Therapy
Several factors can influence oxygenation monitoring and respiratory support through oxygen therapy: the type of oximeter used, skin pigmentation, and the oxygenation target. It is essential to have an accurate measurement of SpO2 in order to optimize the flow of oxygen or FiO2 administered to patients. The question arises as …
Retrospective Cohort Study of Low-Flow Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal (ECCO2R) System: Evaluating ECCO2R's Efficacy and Safety in Participants With Respiratory Failure
This is an observational study performed by retrospective review of data routinely collected for patients receiving low-flow extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) therapy in intensive care units (ICUs). Our aim is to firstly, describe the local practice in terms of patient selection and technical details of clinical management related to …
The Course of Acute Respiratory Failure in Geriatric Patients With Hip Fracture Using Different Modes of a Vibroacoustic Device for the Lungs
A medical professional trained in the procedure and use of the device will conduct the vibroacoustic therapy session. He will also take blood samples. In the control group, patients will undergo vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy in the "Pneumonia" mode, and in the control group, in the "Prevention" mode. Vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy …
Airway Closure During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: The AiCLOSE Study
About 65,000 Canadians develop acute respiratory failure requiring breathing machines (ventilators) to give oxygen to their lungs. Unfortunately, up to 50% of these individuals will not survive their illness. Mechanical ventilation through breathing machines, though potentially lifesaving, may further injure the lungs and the respiratory muscles. In the patients with …
Weaning Protocol for High-flow Nasal Oxygen Therapy in Intensive Care
High-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) is an oxygenation technique frequently used in intensive care. The main objective of our study is to show that the use of a protocol for weaning patients off high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) in the intensive care unit increases the probability that patients will be …
Pressure Muscle Index and Threshold of Over-assistance During Pressure Support Ventilation
Pressure support ventilation (PSV) is used to assist the breathing of the intubated patient with some pressure from the ventilator. This support aims at avoiding excessive inspiratory effort, while ensuring a certain degree of training of the patient's inspiratory muscle. Avoiding both minimal and excessive assistance is thus important for …
Interleukin-6 Guided Treatment With Dexamethasone or Tocilizumab in Patients Hospitalized With Acute Respiratory Symptoms - a Feasibility Study
Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) happens when the lungs are unable to absorb enough oxygen. The bloodstream is deprived of oxygen which can eventually lead to more severe conditions like multi-organ failure (MOF) and death. AHRF accounts for over 30% of patients to critical care units, thus novel treatments are …
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and Oscillometry for the Evaluation of Dyspnea
This study will determine if airway resistance to airflow and pressure, measured by Oscillometry, is associated with abnormal findings on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in subjects who are experiencing shortness of breath.
OxyGap : Comparison Between Different Pulse Oximeter and With the Arterial Blood Gase
The oximeter is used to monitor intensive care patients undergoing oxygen therapy. It indicates pulsed oxygen saturation (SpO2), a reflection of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) which enables detection of hypoxemia and hyperoxia, both deleterious state. Current SpO2 recommendations aim to reduce both risk of hypoxemia and hyperoxia. SpO2 is considered …
