Spontaneous Breathing Trials Using Pressure Support or T-Piece in Overweight and Obese Patients
This study aims to find out which method of spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) better helps overweight and obese ICU patients prepare for extubation, which is the removal of the breathing tube. The two methods being compared are pressure support ventilation (PSV) and the T-piece. Participants are adults with a body …
Simple Mechanical Device to Control Pressure in the Balloon of the Endotracheal Tube to Prevent Ventilator-acquired Pneumonia
Hypothesis: Nosten® device is able to reduce the time of underinflated balloon and removes excess pressure. This device may thus reduce the risk of ventilator-acquired pneumonia (VAP) and early tracheal lesions resulting from intubation with decreased discomfort, morbidity, and nursing workload. The main objective of the investigators is to show …
HYPER MIND - Hyperoxia Effects on Cerebral Hemodynamics
This study aims to better understand how short periods of exposure to high oxygen levels affect blood flow in the brain of patients who are intubated and mechanically ventilated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Many ICU patients receive more oxygen than strictly necessary, and high blood oxygen levels (hyperoxemia) …
Effects of PERMISSive Lung-protective Ventilation on Outcome in Critically Ill Invasively Ventilated Patients
RATIONALE Lung-protective ventilation using a lower respiratory rate (RR) is an appealing strategy to reduce ventilation intensity, which may require permissive hypercapnia. However, the feasibility and safety of this so-called 'permissive lung-protective ventilation' must be investigated, before conducting a large randomized clinical trial to evaluate its effectiveness on patient-centered outcomes. …
Improvement of Lung and Thoracic Compliance in ARDS Patients in Prone Position by Using Inflatable Air Bag
ARDS is frequent in ICU and may lead to many complications and to death. Prone position is widely used in ADRS patients and demonstrated to decrease mortality. Regarding the chest wall compliance data are missing but the theorical response is that this compliance is decreased in a prone position mainly …
Remimazolam Besylate in Sedation of Postcardioperative Patients
Intensive care medicine is vital in managing patients after cardiac surgery with endotracheal intubation，in order to provide extensive monitoring to assure clinical stabilization. During this time of recovery, sedation is frequently employed. However, prolonged sedation risks negative sequelae.At present,propofol, benzodiazepines, and dexmedetomidine are typical drugs used for sedation of patients …
Volatile Sedation for Patients With the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
This study will investigate how different types of routine sedation may affect patient's breathing whilst on a ventilator in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). There are different approaches to sedation which may have advantages and disadvantages. During the study patients will receive both intravenous and inhaled volatile sedation (similar to …
The Effects of VC Versus PC Ventilation on Cerebral and Respiratory Parameters in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery
The aim of the study was to determine whether the use of different mechanical ventilation modes in patients with Trendelenburg position and CO2 insufflation affects respiration and cerebral oxygenation due to postoperative atelectasis, and was to determine whether there was any hemodynamic effect.
The Physiological Effect of RCexp on Ventilation/Perfusion Distribution
With the exception of setting the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), the expiratory phase is commonly overlooked during MV. The expiratory time constant (RCexp) plays an important role in understanding the mechanical properties of the respiratory system in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. However, it is unclear that the effect of expiratory …
Prone Positioning and Abdominal Binding on Lung and Muscle Protection in ARDS Patients During Spontaneous Breathing
Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction and intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness are two consequences of prolonged mechanical ventilation and critical illness in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Both complicate the process of withdrawing mechanical ventilation, increase hospital mortality and cause chronic disability in survivors. During transition from controlled to spontaneous …
