Effects of Non-invasive Ventilation Therapies on the Lung in Hypoxemic Chest Trauma Patients
Chest trauma is common in traumatology. Its management is based on ventilatory therapies, among which non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is commonly used. Some studies have shown the benefit of this therapy in hypoxemic patients, avoiding intubation, reducing length of stay and healthcare costs, and even reducing mortality. However, these studies are …
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 …
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.
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) …
EffecT of eARly analGesia With Erector Spinae Plane Block to Reduce Ventilation After Severe Chest Trauma
Blunt chest trauma is commonly associated with rib fractures and early pain management is a key goal after chest trauma. In spontaneous breathing patients, pain limits coughing efficiency and secretion clearance, thereby potentially leading to progressive atelectasis, loss of functional residual capacity (FRC) and, ultimately, respiratory distress. In patients under …
Low Dose Dexmedetomidine Versus Ketamine in Multiple Fracture Ribs
In our study, we assess the diaphragmatic function, pain quality and anti-inflammatory properties between low dose infusion of dexmedetomidine and ketamine in patients with multiple fracture ribs on conservative treatment.
INTERCOSTAL NERVE BLOCK: Efficacy of CINB for Patients With Multiple Rib Fractures
This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded study comparing CINB plus medical therapy versus standard medical care (non-steroidals and opioids intravenous/oral inpatient and oral outpatient) alone for patients with multiple rib fractures. The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of continuous intercostal nerve block (CINB) in the treatment …
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.
Cryo Rib Fracture Study
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with rib fractures who undergo cryoablation of the intercostal nerves have improved pain control 7 days from procedure when compared to those who have a ESP catheter.
