Management of Moderately Hypoxemic Thoracic Trauma
In France, the average incidence of thoracic trauma is 10,000 to 15,000 each year. These patients are at risk of early and late post traumatic respiratory complications as follows: pneumonia, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), hypoxemia. Main issues of thoracic trauma management were recently published by French anesthesiologist and intensivist …
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) Levels During Resuscitation of Preterm Infants at Birth (The POLAR Trial).
Premature babies often need help immediately after birth to open their lungs to air, start breathing and keep their hearts beating. Opening their lungs can be difficult, and once open the under-developed lungs of premature babies will often collapse again between each breath. To prevent this nearly all premature babies …
proMoting Effective Renoprotection in Cardiac sURgery Patients by Inhibition of SGLT-2
Multi-centre, triple-blinded (patients, physicians, investigators), parallel-group, balanced (1:1), stratified (male-female 50-50), randomized, controlled (placebo), phase IV clinical trial to investigate the potential of preoperative initiation (from day 1 before surgery) and perioperative continuation (until day 2 after surgery) of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily to prevent AKI …
The Management of Traumatic Hemothoraces
Chest injuries are common in patients with polytrauma and are responsible for approximate 25% of all trauma-related mortalities. Traumatic injuries to the thorax often result in the accumulation of blood within the chest (i.e. a hemothorax (HTX)). The management of HTX remains a clinical dilemma when the volume of blood …
Optimization of Positive End Expiratory Pressure by Use of Pulmonary Ultrasound for Patients With Blunt Chest Trauma Treated by Non-Invasive Ventilation (Opti-PEP).
This is an open-label, randomized controlled study comparing two non-invasive ventilation initiation strategies.Patients may be included if they present with acute respiratory failure related to blunt chest trauma.The intervention group will benefit from the use by the physiotherapist of pulmonary ultrasound for the adjustment of Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) …
HFNC Compared With Facial Mask in Patients With Chest Trauma Patients
Guidelines for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) recommend continuous positive airway pressure in patients with thoracic trauma who remain hypoxic . However, no any suggestion was applied for high flow nasal cannula (HFNC). Therefore, Our aim was to determine whether HFNC reduces intubation in severe trauma-related hypoxemia.
Stem Cell Treatment for Lung Injury Caused by Major Infectious Diseases
The goal of this study is to conduct a prospective, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells treatment for Lung injury caused by major infectious diseases.
Hyperoxia Induced Pulmonary Inflammation and Organ Injury: a Human in Vivo Model
Oxygen is the most commonly administered therapy in critical illness. Accumulating evidence suggests that patients often achieve supra-physiological levels of oxygenation in the critical care environment. Furthermore, hyperoxia related complications following cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction and stroke have also been reported. The underlying mechanisms of hyperoxia mediated injury remain poorly …
Mid-point to Pleura Transverse Process Block Versus Thoracic Intervertebral Foramen Block
The analgesic effect of continuous mid-point to pleura transverse process block compared to the analgesic effect of continuous thoracic intervertebral foramen block, in patients with multiple rib fractures.
Feasibility of Reducing Respiratory Drive Using the Through-flow System
Mechanical ventilation can lead to diaphragm and lung injury. During mechanical ventilation, the diaphragm could be completely rested or it could be overworked, either of which may cause diaphragm injury. Mechanical stress and strain applied by mechanical ventilation or by the patient's own respiratory muscles can also cause injury to …
