Physiologic Effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and High Flow Nasal Oxygenation in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) consists on a lack of breath due to fluid overload in the lungs that is not produced by a heart desease. Some people with this condition may need to be intubated and connected to invasive mechanical ventilation, but less severe cases may need supplementary …
The ROTAtional-USE of Interface STUDY
In this trial investigators will explore if a protocolized rotational use of interfaces i.e., masks, during noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) compared to standard care is clinically effective and cost-effective in reducing the incidence of pressure sores in patients with hypercapnic acute respiratory failure (AHRF) treated continuously i.e., for more …
Acute DYSPnea in the Emergency Department: Diagnostic Value of Point-of-care UltraSound
Acute dyspnea is a common reason for emergency department (ED) admission and is frequently caused by acute heart failure with pulmonary edema. Rapid differentiation between cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic causes of dyspnea is essential to guide early treatment and risk stratification. However, no single gold standard exists for the assessment of …
Artificial Intelligence-driven Virtual Standardized Pediatric Patients Trial
Background: China's healthcare system for children faces significant challenges, particularly due to the limited pediatric service capacity of primary healthcare institutions. A shortage of effective and accessible training tools for primary care doctors further hinders progress in addressing this gap. Technological advancements, especially in artificial intelligence, offer a potential solution …
Bio-Banking of Specimens for Advanced Lung Disease and Lung Transplant Research
A major goal of this protocol is to support biomarker studies in advanced lung diseases, lung transplantation care, and to improve our understanding of the effects of viral and other infectious exposures to outcomes in our lung transplant and ALD patient populations.
Electrical Activity of the Diaphragm and Respiratory Mechanics During NAVA
Protective ventilatory strategy should be applied to reduce ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) after Lung Transplantation (LTx) or in case of acute respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is an assisted ventilation mode in which respiratory support is coordinated by the electrical activity of the diaphragm …
High-flow Nasal Oxygenation for Apnoeic Oxygenation During Intubation of the Critically Ill
Intubation in the intensive care unit is a standard procedure with a high risk of adverse events such as hypoxaemia and cardiovascular instability. However, it is demonstrated that HFNO (High Flow Nasal Oxygen) for pre and perioxygenation is feasible and, in many situations, prolongs the safe apnoeic period after anaesthesia …
Phrenic Nerve Reconstruction for the Treatment of Diaphragmatic Paralysis: Patient Experiences and Reported Outcomes.
This study utilizes a grounded theory methodology to explore patient experiences of phrenic nerve reconstructive surgery as a treatment for diaphragmatic paralysis.
"Lung Barometric Measurements in Normal And in Respiratory Distressed Lungs"
Little is known about how lung mechanics are affected during the very early phase after starting mechanical ventilation. Since the conventional method of measuring esophageal pressure is complicated, hard to interpret and expensive, there are no studies on lung mechanics on intensive care patients directly after intubation, during the first …
Detecting Systemic Carbon Dioxide Levels With a Novel Biosensor
The study is an open, prospective, single center clinical observational pilot investigation. The aim is to compare the carbon dioxide values measured by the IscAlert sensor, which is inserted in proximity to the nasal mucosa. The study wants to investigate if the nasal mucosa application and measurements are feasible, what …
