Post Stroke Dysphagia: Effect of Adding rTMS to Conventional Therapy on the Prevalence of Pneumonia.
BACKGROUND: Dysphagia is one of the most life-threatening stroke complications. Dysphagic stroke patients are at increased risk of aspiration pneumonia. Pneumonia accounts for at least 10% of post stroke deaths within 30 days of hospitalization after stroke. rTMS is effective in improving post-stroke dysphagia and swallowing coordination after stimulation of …
Treatment of ARDS With Instilled T3
It is hypothesized that instillation of Liothyronine Sodium (T3) into the airspace will be safe, well tolerated, and will increase alveolar fluid clearance and decrease inflammation in patients with ARDS, reflected in improved oxygenation index (OI) and oxygenation saturation index (OSI).
Ventilation/Perfusion PET/CT With Galligas and 68Ga-MAA for Regional Lung Function Assessment After Pulmonary Embolism
In patients with pulmonary embolism (PE), after three or six months of anticoagulation, persistent dyspnea and impairment of quality of life are observed in at least 30% of cases. The "RAMBO" trial is a French academic, multicenter, randomized (1:1 ratio), parallel arm, controlled, that aimed to assess the efficacy of …
Thrombin Generation Parameters and Bleeding in Patients Treated With Anticoagulants for Cancer Associated Thrombosis
Pulmonary embolism, the second leading cause of death in cancer patients, is effectively treated with anticoagulants. In patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), the use of anticoagulants is associated with 10 to 15% of bleeding in the first 6 months. Most of the guidelines propose to integrate the bleeding risk in …
Systolic Function and Weaning-induced Pulmonary Edema (SystoWean Study)
The purpose of this study is to determine if the left and right ventricular systolic function is involved in the development of weaning failure related to weaning-induced pulmonary edema.
Influence of Lung Volume Optimization Maneuver in Ventilated Children on Cardiac Output and Lung Compliance in Children With Congenital Heart Disease Undergoing Surgical Repair and in Children Requiring ECMO for Respiratory Failure
The goal of this randomized interventional clinical trial is to learn if a standardized lung volume optimization maneuver is beneficial in children undergoing biventricular repair of their congenital heart disease and in children on ECMO. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a standardized PEEP-Titration maneuver, to optimize …
Trial of Venovenous ECMO to De-Sedate, Extubate and Mobilise in Hypoxic Respiratory Failure
To determine whether a strategy of adding venovenous ECMO to mechanical ventilation, as compared to mechanical ventilation alone, increases the number of intensive care free days at day 60, in patients with moderate to severe acute hypoxic respiratory failure.
High Flow Nasal Cannulae vs Venturi Mask in Respiratory Failure Due to Pneumonia
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of treatment with HFNC (group compared to administration of oxygen therapy by Venturi mask (group B, standard therapy) in terms of reaching of endotracheal intubation criteria during acute respiratory failure due to severe pneumonia. Inclusion Criteria: Respiratory rate (RR) …
Prophylactic Inhaled Steroids to Reduce Radiation Pneumonitis Frequency and Severity in Lung Cancer Patients
This randomized clinical study aims to assess whether prophylactic treatment with inhaled steroids in patients with locally advanced or concomitantly treated non-small cell lung carcinoma who are candidates for combination treatment with QT/RT or IMT + QT/RT. The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether prophylactic treatment decreases the …
Visualization of Inspiratory Effort and Respiratory Mechanics to Promote Lung- and Diaphragm Protective Ventilation
This is a multicentre prospective cohort trial in adult and pediatric ICU patients. The investigators will measure the effect of a patient's inspiratory effort during mechanical ventilation on the lungs and diaphragm. The investigators will daily (for a maximum of 8 days) measure esophageal pressures with a balloon catheter to …
