Comparison of Two Strategies of One-lung Ventilation in Patients Undergoing Carcinological Lung Resection Surgery.
During thoracic surgery, one-lung ventilation (OLV) is associated with hypoxemia, lung injury, and perioperative respiratory complications. The level of positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) to apply during OLV remains controversial. The open-lung approach consists in setting a level of PEEP corresponding to the best lung compliance, using an esophageal catheter to …
129 Xenon MRI in Chronic Lung Disease
Subjects aged 18-85 with lung disease will undergo hyperpolarized Xenon 129 (129-Xe) MRI and Pulmonary Function testing for the development of tools to evaluate the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC), ventilation defect percent (VDP) and pulmonary gas exchange measurements obtained by analysis of hyperpolarized 129-Xe MRI.
Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Rituximab in Patients With Progressive Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) With Inflammatory Component: a Multicentre Double-blind Placebo-controlled Randomized Trial
The main objective of the EvER-ILD2 study is to evaluate the efficacy on lung function at 6 months of one course rituximab (2 infusions) comparatively to one course of placebo (2 infusions) in a broad range of progressive ILD patients with inflammatory component.
Quantitative Pulmonary Imaging Registry & Biorepository
The goal of this project is to establish a registry and biorepository of images and biological samples from subjects undergoing novel pulmonary imaging methods to be used for future research aimed toward identifying clinical applications of imaging methods and toward understanding the physiological significance of imaging biomarkers. This registry and …
Prophylaxis Guided by Cytomegalovirus-specific T Cell Immunity to Prevent Cytomegalovirus Disease in Lung Transplant Recipients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) virus in the participants' body. Therefore, the study team will follow the participants' immunological response based on the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) virus testing.
Deep Sedation With Pre-emptive Endotracheal Intubation for Advanced Bronchoscopy Procedures
Bronchoscopy is crucial for diagnosing and treating respiratory diseases and is recommended under sedation. Deep sedation improves patient comfort and procedural efficiency, especially in complex cases, by reducing movement and coughing. However, it carries risks of respiratory depression and airway obstruction, potentially requiring premature termination or urgent intubation. Determining the …
Data Collection Using Eko Devices in a Clinical Setting
The main objectives of the study are to: train and validate binary classifiers for wheeze, coarse crackle, fine crackle, rhonchus, stridor, rales, and cough, as well as determine correspondence between type/location of adventitious lung sound and type of pulmonary condition.
Intrapleural Nebulization of Bupivacain to Reduce Postoperative Pain
Thoracic surgery is now common and as other surgeries evolution of minimally invasive techniques is employed. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) produces little scar but may produce severe pain that may affect the pulmonary function. Many procedure was developed like intercostal nerve block which require injections at multiple levels, Insertion of …
PET/CT GUIDED BIOPSY VERSUS CT GUIDED BIOPSY IN EVALUATION OF SUSPECTED LUNG NEOPLASMS
Percutaneous CT guided biopsy is a well-established, standard sampling technique for suspected neoplastic lesions located in peripheral region in lung parenchyma. Inconclusive results on CT guided biopsy is substantially higher in large lung lesions which are prone to cause peripheral pneumonia, atelectasis and even regional necrosis, which are hard to …
Defining a Technique for the Use of Cryogenic Catheters for Biopsy and Ablation for the Diagnostic and Treatment of Pulmonary Lesions: An Ex-Vivo Human Lung Model Study.
Developing a standardized methodology for the use of novel cryogenic catheters for transbronchial cryobiopsy and cryoablation of pulmonary lesions.
