Decremental Esophageal Catheter Filling Volume Titration For Transpulmonary Pressure Measurement
Mechanical ventilation is a critical intervention in the management of pediatric patients with respiratory distress. During this process, accurate measurement of transpulmonary pressure (PL) is essential to ensure the safety and efficacy of ventilation. PL is defined as the difference between alveolar pressure (Palv) and pleural pressure (Ppl). While the …
Imaging Biomarkers to Stratify the Risk of Barotrauma in ARDS
The high incidence of barotrauma in patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (16.1%, with a mortality rate \>60%) provides rationale for considering COVID-19 ARDS a paradigm for lung frailty. The investigators recently discovered that the Macklin effect is an impressive radiological predictor of barotrauma in COVID-19 ARDS. Since …
End-expiratory Transpulmonary Pressure-guided vs Electrical Impedance Tomography-guided PEEP Titration Methods in Patients With Intra-abdominal Hypertension Combined With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: a Randomized Crossover Controlled Study
This study aims to adopt a randomized crossover design to compare the effects of end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure-guided PEEP titration and EIT-guided PEEP titration on local lung ventilation, shunt, dead space, and ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) ratio as monitored by EIT. Additionally, it will evaluate their impact on respiratory mechanics, chest wall mechanics, …
Ultrasound Acute Chest Syndrome Sickle Cell Disease
Feasibility and reliability of ultrasound in the inpatient hematology setting.
CF Wellness Program
This study is a pilot randomized control trial (RCT; N=80) comparing the Cystic Fibrosis Wellness Program (CFWP) to usual care (UC) to evaluate (1) Intervention Adherence (completion of the CFWP Coaching Sessions) (2) Study Retention (completion of the Week 15 assessment) and (3) Data Quality (valid daytime and nighttime fitness …
COPD-ICU Multicentre Prospective Observational Register
COPD is one of the leading causes of morbidity, mortality and health care utilisation worldwide. Currently, COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide and is therefore a major public health problem. Projections show an increase in the prevalence and burden of COPD in the coming decades due to …
Testing the Addition of an Anti-Cancer Drug, TRC102, to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment (Pemetrexed, Cisplatin or Carboplatin) During Radiation Therapy for Stage III Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase II trial tests whether TRC102 (methoxyamine hydrochloride) in combination usual care treatment comprised of pemetrexed, cisplatin or carboplatin, and radiation therapy followed by durvalumab works better than the usual care treatment alone to shrink tumors in patients with stage III non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). TRC102 is …
ATATcH Alternating Treatment Plans for Advanced Cancer
The purpose of the research is to evaluate a new schedule of alternating cycles of induction chemoimmunotherapy (chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab) and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) alone for the initial treatment of patients with advanced lung or head and neck cancers.
Mediastinal EBUS Cryobiopsy Study In Sweden
This study is a prospective observational non-randomized clinical trial where all the participitants undergo the same procedure and every participitant's samples are compared to each other. The investigators conduct EBUS TBNA and EBUS TBMCB on all the study participants.The cryobiopsy samples are numbered to evaluate the number of biopsies needed …
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 …
