Active clinical trials for "Acute Lung Injury"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of the ARDS in the French wounded soldiers.

The diaphragm is a fine striated muscle with both extra respiratory and respiratory functions. It does most of the breathing work in interaction with the accessory respiratory muscles, the rib cage and the abdomen. Its activity can be measured by the transdiaphragmatic pressure generated by the magnetic stimulation of phrenic nerves (gold standard). It has been shown in the literature that diaphragmatic ultrasound, via the measurement of diaphragmatic excursion and especially the thickening fraction, is an easily accessible, non-invasive, reproducible and relevant technique for evaluating acute diaphragmatic dysfunction in resuscitation patients. The objective of this project is to evaluate the prevalence of diaphragmatic dysfunction at admission in patients hospitalized in intensive care / respiratory intensive care unit for hypercapnic and/or hypoxic acute respiratory distress and requiring ventilatory support by non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen therapy. A subgroup analysis will then be carried out on 3 populations: Hypercapnic exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Hypoxic acute respiratory distress on infectious lung disease Acute pulmonary edema

Bedside lung ultrasonography helps to obtain reliable clinical information about lung aeration, that has been categorized by means of the so-called lung ultrasound score (LUS). In critically ill adults, LUS has been related with the outcome both in patients with respiratory and some non-respiratory conditions. Pediatric studies about lung aeration have been done mainly on postoperative cardiac patients and infants with bronchiolitis. In this prospective, observational, multicenter, feasibility and diagnostic accuracy study, we will explore the degree of lung aeration impairment as a potential outcome predictor in critically ill children with a variety of underlying conditions. Children from 1 month to 18 years of age admitted to PICU will be recruited and LUS will be calculated at two time points: at 12 ± 6 hours and at 48-72 hours. Univariate and multivariate statistical analysis will be performed in order to ascertain the outcome influence of clinical factors in general and LUS in particular.

The investigators aimed to establish a prospective cohort of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery from April 2021 to September 2022, in Wuhan. The ARDS events, ventilation time, time of extubation, oxygenation index for 3 days after operation were observed. Plasma samples were collected before CPB, and several time points after CPB. Dynamic differential proteins of ARDS after CPB were screened by DIA (Data independent acquisition) proteomics. Quantitative protein marker concentration was used to predict the occurrence of ARDS after operation, the model discrimination and calibration was assessed.

The investigators aim to achieve experts consensus on respiratory interventions in management of COVID-19 related acute respiratory failure (C-ARF).

The study 'Survival rates and long-term outcomes for patients with COVID-19 admitted to Norwegian ICUs' is a national observational study, including patients admitted to a Norwegian ICU between March 2020 and March 2021. The study will describe survival rates, clinical characteristics and health challenges experienced by survivors the first year after ICU admission caused by COVID-19 disease.

In patients with SARS-CoV-2 or bacterial infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the state of the intravascular volume, the characteristics of the blood volume components, and the development of a vascular leak is currently unknown. The relationship of these parameters with parameters of cardiac performance, lung edema and sublingual microcirculatory perfusion parameters have never been studied.

SARS COV2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was first described in Wuhan, China. For this pathology, which causes severe respiratory infections, preventing the transmission of the virus has become fundamental, that is why vaccines have been developed. In France, this vaccination campaign took place in a context where the lack of confidence in vaccination is high: According to a November 2020 IFOP poll, only 41% of French respondents were willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19. To our knowledge, there are still few qualitative studies on vaccination on the current issue of vaccination against COVID-19.

The investigators retrospectively investigate the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and therapeutic interventions of patients with COVID-19 associated respiratory failure admitted to the intensive care units in South Tyrol, Italy.

The objectives of this intermediate-size expanded access protocol are to assess the safety and efficacy of remestemcel-L in participants with ARDS due to coronavirus infection 2019 (COVID-19).
