IntHyx : Intubation Strategies for Patients With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure requires endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation in approximately 30-40% of cases, due to severe hypoxemia and/or clinical signs of acute respiratory distress. The primary objectives of invasive mechanical ventilation are to reduce respiratory effort and improve oxygenation. However, this intervention is also associated with both …
Comparing Anticoagulation Strategies Using UFH, Argatroban and LMWH for ECMO Support
A three-arm randomized controlled non-inferiority pilot study comparing anticoagulation strategies using unfractionated heparin, argatroban and enoxaparin for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support conducted as an investigator-initiated, prospective, parallel group, open-label, active comparator controlled, single center, phase IV study to evaluate the non-inferiority of enoxaparin or argatroban for anticoagulation during ECMO therapy …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Improving Psychological Outcomes for Acute Respiratory Failure Survivors Using a Self-Management Intervention
A growing number of patients are surviving a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) but may experience long-lasting psychological problems, but research evaluating such treatment for ICU patients is scant. The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential benefit of an …
Noninvasive Ventilation Breathing Test Guiding Weaning in Patients With Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure
SBT, as a routine extubation strategy for invasive mechanical ventilation, has been widely recognized. However, in recent years, studies have found that SBT may lead to delayed extubation, which has been confirmed in COPD patients but has not yet been widely accepted in patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure. Both …
