Thoracic Fluid Content During Hypervolemic Hemodilution

Pulmonary Edema

Thoracic fluid content (TFC) is one of the many variables measured by the ICON electrical cardiometry (EC) device (Osypka Medical). The ICON device is often called "thoracic electrical bio-impedance" that based on measuring the changes in total resistance of the thorax to electric current and is considered a numerical measure of total (intravascular and extravascular) thoracic fluid. Although TFC is a measure of both extra and intra-vascular thoracic fluid, it provides an estimate of the increase in intrathoracic fluids such as to facilitate the risk of pulmonary edema. Although many studies were done on the ability of TFC to detect pulmonary edema in preeclampsia, ARDS, heart failure, weaning from mechanical ventilation and during fluid management in prolonged surgery , yet, there is no study before was done on the use of TFC as a guide for fluid therapy during hypervolemic hemodilution in major obstetric surgery in patients with placenta accreta as one of the most common etiologies of life-threatening obstetric hemorrhage and the most common cause of peripartum hysterectomy Aim of the work: To use TFC as a guide for 6% HES infusion of hypervolemic hemodilution in patients with placenta accreta to avoid fluid overload. Objectives: To calculate LUS score at the end of infusion. To evaluate TFC in k ohm-1. To assess oxygen saturation, PO2 and P/F ratio in ABG. To calculate the total infused volume in milliliters.

Beneficial Effects of Antenatal Magnesium Sulfate (BEAM Trial)

Cerebral PalsyIntraventricular Hemorrhage3 more

As many more premature infants survive, the numbers of these infants with health problems increases. The rate of cerebral palsy (CP) in extremely premature infants is approximately 20%. Magnesium sulfate, the most commonly used drug in the US to stop premature labor, may prevent CP. This trial tests whether magnesium sulfate given to a woman in labor with a premature fetus (24 to 31 weeks out of 40) will reduce the rate of death or moderate to severe CP in the children at 2 years. The children receive ultrasounds of their brains as infants and attend three follow-up visits over two years to assess their health and development.

Transfusion-Induced Alterations of Pulmonary and Immune Function in Mechanically Ventilated Patients...

Pulmonary EdemasBlood Protein Disorders

Specific aim: To test whether transfusion of leukoreduced red cells of lesser storage time (versus conventional storage time) reduces mild alterations in pulmonary function and immune activation in critically ill patients with mechanically ventilated lungs. We propose to perform a prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial in critically ill patients whose lungs are mechanically ventilated, and who have orders to receive transfusion of at least one unit of packed red cells, comparing pulmonary function between patients randomly allocated to receive a unit of red cells stored for 5 days or less, with similar patients randomly allocated to receive a unit of red cells stored conventionally (median 21 days). We will test the hypothesis that transfusion of red cells of lesser storage age, (5 days or less) will produce the less changes of pulmonary function and immune activation than will transfusion of red cells of conventional storage age (median 21 days).

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Non-invasive Ventilation on the Reperfusion Pulmonary Edema Post...

Reperfusion Pulmonary Edema

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Non Invasive Ventilation are effective in prevention of reperfusion pulmonary edema after pulmonary artery angioplasty. Our hypothesis is that administration of Non Invasive Ventilation during the procedure and systematically in post procedure period is a protective factor against the development and severity of reperfusion pulmonary edema.

The Effect of 10 cm Catheter Mount on Malfunction of Capnometers Under the Conditions of Water

Cardiopulmonary ResuscitationPulmonary Edema1 more

Capnometer has been used to assess the success of intubation and the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, capnometers can malfunction under the conditions such as pulmonary edema and hemorrhage due to the vulnerability of capnometers for water. Investigators hypothesized that the use of 10cm catheter mount will reduce the malfunction of capnometers under the conditions of water.

Lung Injury (Pulmonary Edema) in COVID-19: Treatment With Furosemide and Negative Fluid Balance...

COVID-19

In COVID-19, pulmonary edema has been attributed to "cytokine storm". However, it is known that SARS-CoV-2 promotes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 deficiency, it increases angiotensin II and this triggers volume overload. The current study is based on patients with COVID-19, tomographic evidence of pulmonary edema and volume overload. These patients received a standard goal-guided diuretic (furosemide) treatment: Negative Fluid Balance (NEGBAL) approach. This retrospective observational study consists of comparing two groups. The cases show patients with COVID-19 and lung injury treated with NEGBAL approach comparing it to the control group consisting of patients with COVID-19 and lung injury receiving standard treatment. Medical records of 120 critically ill patients (60 in NEGBAL group and 60 in control group) were reviewed: demographic, clinical, laboratory, blood gas and chest tomography (CT) before and during NEGBAL. Once NEGBAL strategy started, different aspects were evaluated: clinical, gasometric and biochemical evolution until the 8th day, tomography until the 12th day, ICU stay, hospital stay and morbidity and mortality until the 30th day.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Weaning-induced Cardiac Dysfunction: Results From a Multicenter, Observational...

Weaning FailureWeaning-induced Pulmonary Edema1 more

During weaning from mechanical ventilation, the shift from positive to negative pressure ventilation may be responsible for a cardiac dysfunction that can lead to the development of pulmonary oedema (weaning-induced pulmonary oedema, WIPO) and to the failure of spontaneous breathing trials. However, the incidence and risk factors for WIPO development are not well defined and have been investigated only by a few studies.

Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary EdemaHypercapnic Respiratory Failure

High flow nasal therapy (HFNT) has not been well evaluated for treating hypercapnia The purpose of this study is to determine whether high flow nasal therapy (HFNT) can decrease hypercapnia and improve respiratory distress parameters in Emergency Department patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure related to cardiogenic pulmonary edema and to compare its efficacy to that of non invasive ventilation.
