Transpulmonary Pressure - Guided Mechanical Ventilation in Morbidly Obese ARDS Patients: a Feasibility Study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a personalized intervention aiming to optimize the mechanical ventilator settings in morbidly obese patients suffering from moderate to severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The intervention consists of personalized measurements and calculations of the different pressures inside the thorax. The main …
Low Serum Creatinine as a Predictor of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation and Weaning Failure
The main objective of the study is to determine whether a subnormal serum creatinine value upon admission to the Post-ICU Care Unit predicts the need for prolonged ventilatory support. A parallel objective of the study is to determine whether exogenous in-take of the dietary supplement creatine in patients with subnormal …
Non-inferiority Trial Between Sotair® Device Attached to Manual Resuscitator Versus Mechanical Ventilation
Effective respiratory ventilation is achieved by moving the right amount of air in and out of the lungs while keeping the pressures at a safe level. A disposable safety device, Adult Sotair®, was created to improve manual ventilation delivery. In this non-inferiority study, we will perform a pre-post study design …
Physiological Effects and Safety of Continuous High-frequency Oscillatory Ventilation in Mechanical Ventilation Patients
Mechanical ventilation is an important treatment modality for intensive care unit (ICU) patients, but it also brings a series of problems such as ventilator-associated pneumonia, ventilator-induced lung injury, and atelectasis. Continuous High-Frequency Oscillation (CHFO )is often considered to have a protective effect on the lungs. CHFO provides effective gas exchange …
The Effects of Music Therapy on Adult Patients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU
While most studies in the medical literature that indicate "music" as an intervention may recognize its impact and capacity to decrease pain perception, anxiety, and/or its role in the regulation of cardiac and respiratory function in ICU patients, no identifiable studies have implemented entrained live music therapy protocols into clinical …
Driving Pressure Guided Mechanical Ventilation Versus Lung Protective Ventilation Among Patients Undergoing Elective Surgeries
Patient undergoing surgeries in general anesthesia require support of their breathing by ventilator. Different strategies can be used to manage breathing of the patient. Lung protective ventilation provides breathing at a set volume determined by patient ideal body weight, along with a set rate to maintain adequate breathing. The pressures …
Improving Our Understanding of Respiratory Muscle Training to Facilitate Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving treatment frequently applied in intensive care unit (ICU). Nonetheless, by putting at rest the respiratory muscles, it can lead to respiratory muscle weakness and atrophy, which are accompanied by prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, difficult weaning and increased ICU mortality. Despite a strong theoretical rationale …
Nurse Parental Support Using a Proactive Mobile App in Symptom Management for Children With Mechanical Ventilation
The aims of this study are to test the effectiveness of a nurse support using a proactive mobile app to enhance parental self-efficacy in symptom management for children using mechanical ventilations, and alongside identify factors facilitating or deterring the program implementation. A single group pre-post quasi-experimental study on parents of …
Randomized Controlled Study of Programmed Weaning From Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation for Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Purpose of research:to explore a reasonable programmed withdrawal process of noninvasive ventilation and thereby reduce the duration of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
PMI Guide PS Setting in Pressure Support-ventilated Patients
Pressure support ventilation (PSV) is an assistant mechanical ventilation mode, that is widely implemented in mechanical ventilation treatment but there are no exact guidelines to guide PS setting. Traditional PS setting strategy (VT/PBW 6-8ml/kg and RR 20-30 breaths/min)has risks of excessive or insufficient assistance. Inspiratory muscle pressure index (PMI) is …
