Transpulmonary Pressure - Guided Mechanical Ventilation in Morbidly Obese ARDS Patients: a Feasibility Study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a personalized intervention aiming to optimize the mechanical ventilator settings in morbidly obese patients suffering from moderate to severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The intervention consists of personalized measurements and calculations of the different pressures inside the thorax. The main …
EIT-Guided Ventilator Settings in AHRF
This exploratory study aims to investigate the effect of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)-guided ventilator settings on mechanical power in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF), including both ARDS and non-ARDS conditions. Mechanical power, a key factor associated with ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), will be measured before and after EIT-guided …
Regional Citrate Anticoagulation for RRT During V-V ECMO
Anticoagulation is an essential component of all extracorporeal therapies. Currently locoregional citrate anticoagulation is the recommended technique for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). However, low clearance of citrate restricts its use to blood flow up to 150 mL/min, preventing its use in ECMO. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is commonly provided …
Non-invasive Phrenic Nerve Stimulation in ARDS Patient
Reduced diaphragmatic activity during mechanical ventilation can lead to diaphragmatic disuse atrophy, atelectasis, increased lung stress and strain, and hemodynamic impairment. This, in turn, may prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation, make weaning more difficult, and even increase mortality. Synchronizing phrenic nerve stimulation to promote diaphragmatic activity may prevent ventilator-induced …
Influence of Flow Rate Change on CO2 Levels During High Flow Nasal Ventilation (HFNV) in Preterm Infants.
Background Preterm infants often need respiratory support. HFNV is a non-invasive method with benefits over CPAP, such as reduced nasal trauma and improved feeding. Aim Study the impact of low (2 LPM) vs. high (6 LPM) HFNV flow rates on CO2 levels in preterm infants. Methods Design: Prospective, crossover observational …
Intraoperative Paravertebral Block and Postoperative Complications
This study aims to evaluate the clinical association between intraoperative paravertebral block and the reduction of postoperative complications following thoracic surgery.
Oxygenation Efficacy of "Intrinseque Health" Non-Rebreathing Mask ("IHNRM")
Based on early bench-testing data and subsequent clinical case studies in the U.S., "Intrinseque Health" non-rebreathing mask (IHNRM) has delivered virtual elimination of air entrainment and preferential delivery of all available oxygen first into the alveolar spaces by sequential opening of valves in its controller manifold, even at oxygen flow …
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 …
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).
Premedication for Less Invasive Surfactant Administration
Early respiratory management of preterm infants immediately after birth should be as gentle as possible. With this so-called developmental approach, unnecessary invasive methods can be avoided or at least postponed. This kind of "soft landing" allows cardiorespiratory transition with fewer adverse outcomes. Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) is a technique …
