The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) consists on a lack of breath due to fluid overload in the lungs that is not produced by a heart desease. Some people with this condition may need to be intubated and connected to invasive mechanical ventilation, but less severe cases may need supplementary …
Previous clinical trials in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have demonstrated that ventilator management choices can improve Intensive Care Unit (ICU) mortality and shorten time on mechanical ventilation. This study seeks to scale an established Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tool to facilitate dissemination and implementation of evidence-based research …
Hospitalized patients with ARDS will be randomized to intravenous treatment with a monoclonal antibody against CD14, called IC14, or placebo. They will be followed for 28 days. The primary outcome is the day 4 oxygenation index assessed as a continuous measure.
The prone position leads to a more homogeneous distribution of ventilation by inflation of collapsed alveoli and reduction in alveolar hyperinflation. By employing EIT, the study can obtain a thorough comprehension of the ongoing alterations in regional ventilation before and after adopting the prone position. It is also anticipated that …
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome triggered by infection, and it is a common critical illness in clinical practice, often leading to multiple organ dysfunction. Among these, acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are among the most severe complications. The mortality rate of sepsis-related lung …
For ECMO supported patients with severe ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), usual care include use of "ultraprotective" mechanical ventilation with tidal volume and pressure reductions that might ultimately enhance lung protection of patients with ARDS. Although very low tidal might also cause pulmonary derecruitment. The aim of this study is …
Severe hypoxemia following trauma may happen in many circumstances (aspiration, ventilation-associated pneumonia, lung contusion...), most of which are not exclusively associated with a direct injury to the lungs. Severe trauma and associated musculoskeletal injuries result in the acute release of Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs) in plasma, many of which are …
Patients who are very ill either due to a severe infection, major organ injury, trauma or a major operation may require significant support with devices such as a dialysis machine for the kidneys or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for the heart and lungs. This is often due to a reaction …
We attempt to perform dynamic endotyping of critically ill patients presenting in the emergency department with de novo acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). We also attempt to identify what clinical, radiological, physiological and biological variables collected early in the course of AHRF correlate with subsequent mortality and/or persistent severe hypoxemia.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a complex disorder and remains the most common complication in very preterm infants. Its incidence is increased with gestational age from 95.5% among infants born at 22 weeks' gestation to 22.2% among those born at 29 weeks' gestation. BPD is associated with the increased risks of …
