Multicenter HomeVENT: Home Values and Experiences Navigation Track
This is a multicenter study to test a decision-making support process for families and clinicians facing decisions about chronic home ventilation for a child. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will increase family preparedness for decision-making and will improve clinician-family shared-decision making. Half of families will be assigned to "usual …
Aspiration in Acute Respiratory Failure Survivors 2
The purpose of this study is to learn more about problems with swallowing that could develop in patients who are very sick and need a machine to help them breathe.
Efficacy of DEXamethasone in Patients With Acute Hypoxemic REspiratory Failure Caused by INfEctions
Background: There are no proven therapies specific for pulmonary dysfunction in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) caused by infections (including Covid-19). The full spectrum of AHRF ranges from mild respiratory tract illness to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiorgan failure, and death. The efficacy of corticosteroids …
Helmet NIV vs. CPAP vs. High-flow Nasal Oxygen in Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Multicenter, open label, three-arm randomized trial to assess the effect of helmet noninvasive ventilation vs. helmet continuous positive airway pressure vs. high-flow nasal oxygen on the rate of endotracheal intubation of patients with acute moderate-to-severe hypoxemic respiratory failure
Optimizing Care in Critically Ill at UCHealth by Liberalizing the Target O2 in Mechanically-ventilated ICU Patients
A multimodal educational intervention to target an oxygen saturation target range (SpO2 90-96%) will reduce ventilator length of stay and reduce occult hypoxemia by increased awareness and adherence to a designated oxygen saturation target range.
ROX Index for the Timing of Intubation in Nasal High Flow
Late or delayed intubation in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) treated with nasal high flow (NHF) is associated with increased patient mortality. The ROX index has been designed and validated to predict outcome of NFH therapy by identifying those patients with a high risk of NHF failure and …
Effects of Face Mask Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Vs. Noninvasive Ventilation Vs. High-flow Nasal Oxygen on Intubation-free Survival in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure: the TRIPOD Randomized Clinical Trial
Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) is a common indication for admission to an intensive care unit (ICU), with mortality exceeding 50% in cases where invasive mechanical ventilation is needed. Therefore, assessment of the most adequate oxygen strategy to avoid intubation in patients with AHRF deserves consideration.Previous studies have indicated that …
Hyperangulated vs Macintosh Blades for Intubation With Videolaryngoscopy in ICU
Tracheal intubation in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with high incidence of difficult intubation and complications. Videolaryngoscopes (VLs) devices have been proposed to improve airway management, and the use of VLs are recommended as first-line or after a first-attempt failure using direct laryngoscopy in ICU airway management algorithms. …
Hospital Airway Resuscitation Trial
The Hospital Airway Resuscitation Trial (HART) is a cluster-randomized, pragmatic trial of advanced airway management with a strategy of first choice supraglottic airway vs. first choice endotracheal intubation during in-hospital cardiac arrest.
End-Tidal Oxygen for Intubation in the Emergency Department
Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is a high-risk procedure in the emergency department (ED). Patients are routinely preoxygenated (given supplemental oxygen) prior to RSI to prevent hypoxia during intubation. For many years anaesthetists have used end-tidal oxygen (ETO2) levels to guide the effectiveness of preoxygenation prior to intubation. The ETO2 gives …
