Evaluating the Utility of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in the Treatment of High Altitude...

Continuous Positive Airway PressureHigh Altitude Pulmonary Edema

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of continuous positive pressure on resolution of high-altitude pulmonary edema vs high flow oxygen. The secondary objective is to derive an incidence of high-altitude pulmonary edema based on the elevation and timing from which the subject arrives. Additionally, in a convenience sample of the base study population, an ultrasound evaluation for the presence of B lines in the lungs will be conducted after 2 hours.

Optimized Treatment of Pulmonary Edema or Congestion

Pulmonary EdemaCongestive Heart Failure1 more

Background: Intravenous (IV) loop-diuretics have been a key component in treating pulmonary edema since the nineteen sixties and has a Class 1 recommendation in the 2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for heart failure. Conversely, vasodilation was downgraded in the treatment of acute heart failure due to a lack of trials that compare vasodilation with loop-diuretics in a hyperacute clinical setting. This clinical equipoise will be tested in a trial including patients with pulmonary congestion immediately at hospital admission. Primary objective: To determine the superior strategy of loop-diuretics (furosemide), vasodilation (nitrates) or the combination during emergency treatment. Design: Investigator-initiated, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial with 1:1:1 allocation. Intervention: Intervention-phase will last 6 hours from study-inclusion, and patients will be allocated to one of three groups: Boluses of 40 mg IV furosemide + nitrate-placebo as soon as possible and repeated up to 10 times. Boluses of 3 mg IV isosorbide dinitrate + furosemide-placebo as soon as possible. Boluses of both 3 mg IV isosorbide dinitrate + of 40 mg as soon as possible.

It is hypothesized that instillation of (T3) into the airspace will increase alveolar fluid clearance in patients with ARDS, resulting in reduced extravascular lung water (EVLW).

PEP-device for Treatment of Swimming-induced Pulmonary Edema (SIPE)

Swimming Induced Pulmonary Edema (SIPE)Pulmonary Edema1 more

In swimming induced pulmonary edema (SIPE), there is a lack of knowledge regarding optimal treatment. The present study was designed to assess the benefit of treatment with positive expiratory pressure device (PEP-device) compared to spontaneous recovery in patients with SIPE without hypoxia in the out-of-hospital environment.

Swimming Induced Pulmonary Edema (SIPE)Pulmonary Edema1 more

In swimming induced pulmonary edema (SIPE), there is a lack of knowledge regarding optimal treatment. The present study was designed to assess the benefit of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compared to oxygen as a first line treatment of SIPE in the out-of-hospital environment.

The Effect of Semi Fowler 30' Right Lateral on Cardiac Output in Acute Heart Failure

Cardiac OutputHigh4 more

Heart failure is a special clinical syndrome such as difficulty breathing, fatigue, and swollen legs characterized by increased JVP, crackle lung sounds, and peripheral edema caused by heart disorders both structural and/or functional, resulting in decreased cardiac output and increased intracardiac pressure at rest and activity. Body positioning has been shown to affect stroke volume and parasympathetic modulating activity. The right lateral 30" semifowler position is a very safe position in heart failure patients admitted to the ICU. Although body positioning can affect stroke volume, and parasympathetic modulation, it is not yet clear what effect it has on cardiac output

Point-of-care Ultrasound Abnormalities in Early Onset Preeclampsia

PreeclampsiaPulmonary Edema1 more

The study is planned to describe the prevalence and severity of cardiac, lung and optic-nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) ultrasound abnormalities in women with early onset preeclampsia with severe features. These findings will be compared with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) abnormalities demonstrated in our recent study on late onset preeclampsia. The primary aim of the current study will be to examine the association between pulmonary interstitial edema (PIS), as identified by lung ultrasound, and cardiac dysfunction on echocardiography, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), in early onset preeclampsia, after comprehensive echocardiographic assessment. The secondary aims are to assess ONSD, and to explore the association between PIS or ONSD and serum albumin. A further secondary aim will be to explore the association between POCUS abnormalities and cardiotocography abnormalities and early delivery.

Screening for Individual Susceptibility Factors to Immersion Pulmonary Edema

Pulmonary Edema

Immersion Pulmonary Edema (IPE) is a relatively new form of hemodynamic pulmonary edema. The number of cases has been increasing over the last ten years and it has become the second most common cause of hospitalization for military divers, after decompression sickness. The pathophysiological mechanisms of IPE are not completely known. Its occurrence is linked to a combination of factors related to the environmental constraints of diving, as well as to the diver's equipment. The main external factors are increased hydrostatic pressure, cold, intense effort and emotional stress. The impact of internal factors is not known. At this time, no severe forms of IPE have been identified in the military. However, it is important to identify this pathology at an early stage, even if the signs appear minor, because the continuation of underwater activity can significantly worsen the clinical picture. The risk of recurrence (greater than 15%) could result in a severe or even lethal accident.

Advair HFA in Healthy and HAPE Predisposed Subjects

Altitude Edema

The current protocol is composed of two studies. The first study is designed to carefully evaluate the safety of high-dose salmeterol/fluticasone administration over 7 days, as well as the efficacy of the study drug to increase exercise performance, in healthy individuals exercising under hypoxic, simulated high-altitude conditions (Phase 1/2a study). The second study will examine sensitive measures of cardiopulmonary function using invasive cardiopulmonary testing, in both HAPE-sensitive and HAPE-resistant individuals, to assess the potential efficacy of salmeterol/fluticasone to prevent pulmonary edema and to enhance exercise capacity (Phase 2a) in these individuals.
