Diaphragm Atrophy and Dysfunction in Mechanical Ventilation
The gold standard of twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure recordings would ultimately clear the fog around the rate of development of Ventilator induced Diaphragm Dysfunction (VIDD) in mechanically ventilated patients over time. Through measurements made even after mechanical ventilation (MV) it could be clarified to what extent patients recover from VIDD. Paired …
Transpulmonary Pressure Guided Mechanical Ventilation Weaning in Obesity
This study will look at whether accounting for the amount of pressure generated by the chest wall and abdomen in a obese patient, using a measurement called transpulmonary pressure, can help shorten the amount of time patients spend on the ventilator. By decreasing the amount of time patients spend on …
Fentanyl Versus Hydromorphone in Patients on Mechanical Ventilation
Patients with respiratory failure who require mechanical ventilation are not only at risk of death, but also of complications of prolonged ICU stay. Patients may have significant functional decline, impact in quality of life, develop psychiatric disorders and at long-term can lead to significant cost to society. Although sedation and …
Dead Space in Mechanical Ventilation With Constant Expiratory Flow
Conventional continuous mandatory mechanical ventilation relies on the passive recoil of the chest wall for expiration. This results in an exponentially decreasing expiratory flow. Flow controlled ventilation (FCV), a new ventilation mode with constant, continuous, controlled expiratory flow, has recently become clinically available and is increasingly being adopted for complex …
Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With Acute Brain Injury
Acute brain injury (ABI) patients frequently necessate intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). While some ABI patients are capable of breathing spontaneously, which is one of the main criteria of extubation and weaning. However, the rate of extubation failure was significantly higher in ABI patients compared with non-neurological critical care …
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in a Patient on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (MOVCARE)
This clinical study aims to compare the effects of conventional physical therapy alone versus conventional physical therapy combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in patients admitted to the ICU and undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either conventional physical therapy or the same therapy plus …
Complications of the Alveolar Opening Maneuver in Children on Mechanical Ventilation
The objective of this research is to analyze the overall incidence of complications associated with a therapeutic maneuver known as alveolar opening and subsequent titration of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). These procedures are part of the standard care provided in the …
Effect of Optimized PEEP on Mechanical Ventilation During Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy
Steep trendelenburg posture or pneumoperitoneum for surgery causes ventilation problems during surgery, so finding a way to overcome is a challenging task for anesthesiologists. In this study, for patients undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy under general anesthesia, anesthesia is going to perform by applying conventional positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP 5cmH2O) …
Telemonitoring Utility in the Process of Adaptation to Home Mechanical Ventilation (HMV)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether telemonitoring, added to the usual process of adaptation to home mechanical ventilation (HMV), achieves a more efficient correction of hypoventilation (reduction of hypercapnia).
The External Diaphragm Pacemaker Assisted Extubation in Premature Infants With Invasive Mechanical Ventilation
With the development of perinatal medicine, more and more newborns with respiratory failure can be treated due to the use of respiratory support technology. However, long-term invasive mechanical ventilation treatment can lead to a series of complications such as ventilator-associated pneumonia, atelectasis and air leakage syndrome, and increase the risk …
