Portable Continuous Positive Airways Pressure (CPAP) in Excessive Central Airway Collapse (ECAC) Study
This study will investigate the role of a portable Continues Positive Airway Pressure device (pCPAP) in management of patients with symptomatic Excessive Central Airway Collapse (ECAC). ECAC is characterised by complete or partial collapse of central airways on exhalation. In some cases, this can cause persistent breathlessness and severely limited …
Diaphragmatic Work During HFNC and CPAP Support
The goal of this randomised controlled, cross-over clinical trial is to compare High Flow Nasal Cannulas (HFNC) and Continuous Positive Airways Pressure (CPAP) in neonates over 34 weeks' amenorrhoea (SA) up to children weighing less than 20 kg with respiratory failure. The main question it aims to answer is the …
Long-term Effect of High Flow Nasal Canula Therapy on Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Patients meeting the criteria of obstructive sleep apnea were included, and all patients signed informed consent, which met the requirements of the ethics Committee of our unit. All subjects were hospitalized patients. Subjects were randomly enrolled into High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy group or Continuos Positive Airway Pressure group for …
Observance of Continuous Positive Pressure for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) (HAI hypopnea apnea index ≥ 15) is a common pathology, which affects 6 to 17% of the general population. The Alaska study, which involved 480,000 apneic patients newly fitted with CPAP, showed that 76.9% of patients were still under treatment for one …
Positive Pressure Therapy to Optimize LUNG Function After Heart Surgery
The most common cardiac surgeries are myocardial revascularization and valve replacement or plastic surgery. In the postoperative period of cardiac surgeries, the incidence of pulmonary complications ranges from 30% to 50% and is associated with increased length of hospital stay and morbidity and mortality. To reduce or minimize the occurrence …
Nasal High-frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (NHFOV) for Ventilated Newborn Infants With BPD
Invasive ventilation(IV) remains one key cornerstone to reduce neonatal mortality for preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). However, it is also related to increased risks of ventilator-associated lung injury and escalation of pulmonary inflammation, and which finally result in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Early weaning from …
Benefits of Oxytocin in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Patients Using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Machine
This study will investigate if an intra-nasal nose spray of the drug oxytocin can decrease the amount of pressure needed from the automatic Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device while sleeping decreasing some of the harmful effects of low oxygen in people with sleep apnea. This study will last 35 …
Effects of NIV and CPAP on Ventilation Distribution, Measured by EIT, During Deep Sedation in Paediatric Patients
In patients undergoing spontaneous breathing (SB) deep sedation there is a re-distribution of ventilation towards lungs non-dependant areas (ventral areas in supine position). Non-invasive ventilation (NIV), offering positive pressure, should favour a better ventilation of dependant areas (dorsal areas in supine position), making ventilation more homogeneous and increasing functional residual …
Early Use of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) in ARDS
Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a time-cycled, pressure controlled, intermittent mandatory ventilation mode with extreme inverse I:E ratios. Currently it is considered as a non-conventional ventilatory mode. The investigators aim to compare APRV with conventional mechanical ventilation (MV) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Assessment of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy in IPF
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether biomarkers of lung injury and remodeling are responsive to effective continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
