Comparison of Different Methods to Calculate Pendelluft by Electrical Impedance Tomography in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
The Pendelluft phenomenon is an important cause of lung damage in spontaneously breathing mechanically ventilated patients since it considerably increases the stress on the lung parenchyma in the dependent areas. It can result in a local driving pressure up to three times higher than the global driving pressure. The measurement …
Contribution of Transthoracic and Transcranial Ultrasonography to the Titration of PEEP in Patients With ARDS and ABI
The present study will investigate whether the combined use of lung and brain ultrasonography is useful in selecting the optimal positive end-expiratory pressure in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute brain injury, aiming at an individualized, brain-protective ventilation strategy.
Reduction of Blood Recirculation in Veno-Venous ECMO
Blood which recirculates through the circuit of a veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (V-V ECMO) does not contribute to the systemic oxygenation of a patient on V-V ECMO and is called the recirculation fraction (Rf). Theoretically, the optimization of ECMO blood flow is possible using Rf measurements. A prospective, observational study …
The Role of Cxcr4Hi neutrOPhils in InflueNza
Influenza is still responsible for more than 650,000 deaths per year worldwide and no major improvements in patients' care has been made despite 50 years of research. Especially, there is no therapeutic strategy targeting the dysregulated host response. CXCR4-expressing neutrophils seem to be involved in the rupture of host resistance. …
Closed-loop syncHronization vErsuS convenTional Synchronization in sPontaneously Breathing Adult Nonivasive ventilationPatients
The study is a multicentric prospective randomised cross-over study. It evaluates the compatibility of patients with the device without altering the routine treatment applied. During this evaluation, either the clinician-adjusted values on the device or the standard pre-set values are used to obtain hourly and 30-minute PVA (Patient Ventilator Asynchrony) …
The Effect of Single Lung Ventilation Duration on Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Thoracic Surgery
This observational study investigates the relationship between the duration of single-lung ventilation (SLV) and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) such as pneumonia, pneumothorax, hemothorax, acute lung injury, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adult patients undergoing thoracic surgery. A total of 134 patients aged 18-85 years, scheduled …
Macrophage Programing in Acute Lung Injury: MiniBAL
The goal of this observational clinical trial is to learn about the role white blood cells (macrophages) play in lung inflammation in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The main questions it aims to answer are: How does the immune system respond to different kinds of lung injury and …
Effect of Postural Drainage With or Without Thoracic Squeezing on O2 and Respiratory Rate in Infant With RDS.
This study investigated whether adding thoracic squeezing to postural drainage improves immediate respiratory outcomes in preterm infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS). Over nine months, 14 preterm infants (all born via cesarean section) were randomly assigned to two groups. The control group received standard care with postural drainage, while the …
The Role of Lung Ultrasonography Score in Predicting Prognosis in Term and Late Preterm Newborns With Postnatal Respiratory Distress
Respiratory distress in term and late preterm infants in the first hour after birth is a prevalent condition. This situation may occur due to different reasons such as minimal respiratory stress, transient tachypnea of newborn, respiratory distress syndrome, and congenital pneumonia. It can be not easy to distinguish this in …
Xanthohumol as an Adjuvant in the Treatment of Septic Shock
Septic shock (SS) is a life-threatening condition resulting from excessive inflammatory response to bacterial, viral or/and fungal infections. It is associated with dysregulation of the immune system, activation of immune cells, and massive release of cytokines, commonly known as the cytokine storm (CS). The clinical manifestations of SS depend on …
