A Study to Test Whether Different Doses of Alteplase Help People With Severe Breathing Problems...

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

This is a study in adults with severe breathing problems because of COVID-19. People who are in hospital on breathing support can participate in the study. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called alteplase helps people get better faster. The study has 2 parts. In the first part, participants are put into 3 groups by chance. Participants in 2 of the groups get 2 different doses of alteplase, in addition to standard treatment. Participants in the third group get standard treatment. In the second part of the study, participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group gets alteplase and standard treatment. The other group gets only standard treatment. Alteplase is given as an infusion into a vein. In both study parts, treatments are given for 5 days. Doctors monitor patients and check whether their breathing problems improve. They compare results between the groups after 1 month. Participants are in the study for 3 months.

Calfactant for Direct Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Respiratory Distress SyndromeAdult

This study will determine if administration of an suspension of calfactant, a lung surfactant, intratracheally in patients with Direct Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome within 48 hours of requiring mechanical ventilation can decrease the mortality in patients with lethal disease and shorten the course of respiratory failure in patients with sub-lethal disease.

Epidemiological Characteristics and Prediction System of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

This project intends to adopt the multicenter prospective real-world study method to conduct a preliminary study on the incidence, grading, risk factors, respiratory support strategies, in-hospital mortality, 3-month mortality, 6-month mortality, 1-year mortality, quality of life, lung function and limb function recovery, cognitive function, return to work and other conditions of ARDS patients in RICU. By collecting 1,000 patients, a clinical database related to ARDS in China was established to provide essential data and ideas for promoting standardized diagnosis and treatment technology for ARDS patients and further clinical intervention research. At the same time, ARDS biobank was established in China-Japan Hospital and Xiangya Hospital to realize the integration of clinical data and sample resources, and the prediction model of ARDS survival and complications of tuberculosis clinical data and biological samples was established by using big data and AI technology.

Effect of Enteral Nutrition Support for Critically Ill Patients

Respiratory Distress Syndrome,AdultAcute Lung Injury

To determine whether specialized enteral nutrition support can improve oxygenation status in critically ill patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) comparing to a standard enteral nutritional formula.

Early Surfactant to Reduce Use of Mechanical Breathing in Low Birth Weight Infants

InfantNewborn2 more

Mechanical ventilation (MV) of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is associated with lung injury and nosocomial infection. Moderately premature infants with mild respiratory distress do not routinely receive artificial surfactant early in their course of treatment. This multi-center, randomized trial tested whether early surfactant therapy and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in infants 1,250-2,000g with RDS reduced mechanical ventilation usage without added complications. Infants with mild to moderate respiratory distress syndrome were enrolled in the trial and given either early administration of surfactant followed by extubation within 30 minutes and the use of CPAP, or standard practice (surfactant according to current center practice, only after initiation of mechanical ventilation), to see whether the experimental method would reduce the need for subsequent mechanical ventilation.

Sedation With Sevoflurane Versus Propofol in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Caused...

Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeCOVID19 Infection

It is a multicenter, national, randomized 1:1 ratio, controlled, parallel, open study. Patients with severe ARDS-CoVid19 will be included in the trial within the first 24 hours. Patients will be randomized to one of the treatment groups: SEV group: 25 patients with Sevoflurane sedation by inhalation, starting at 6 ml/h and changing every 15 minutes until an adequate level of sedation is achieved (BIS 40-50) PRO group: 25 patients standard sedation with intravenous propofol, starting with 2 mg/kg/h and changing every 15 minutes until an adequate level of sedation is achieved ( BIS 40-50)

Neonatal Respiratory Distress

This study will explore the RAM Nasal Cannula as a means of providing CPAP and Bi-PAP to infants 28-42 weeks gestation to prevent nasal septal erosion.

Fast Assessment of Surfactant Deficiency in Preterm Infants to Speed up Treatment

Surfactant Deficiency Syndrome NeonatalRespiratory Distress Syndrome2 more

Recently the investigators have developed a point of care test (LS-test) to measure surfactant as lecithin in gastric aspirates from preterm infants. This test can be done immediately at delivery and potentially be used to guide surfactant treatment. To obtain evidence-based knowledge on harms and benefit of surfactant therapy guided by the L/S test, a randomized clinical trial with relevant clinical short-and long-term outcomes needs to be performed, which is why the FAST 2 Trial has been designed.

Airway Pressure Release Ventilation in Acute Lung Injury

Acute Lung InjuryAcute Respiratory Distress Syndrome1 more

The purpose of this study is to compare airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) to conventional mechanical ventilation (MV) in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) to determine if APRV can reduce agitation, delirium, and requirements for sedative medications. We will also compare markers of inflammation in the blood and lung to determine if APRV reduces ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), compared to conventional mechanical ventilation. The proposed study is a randomized, crossover trial. We plan to enroll 40 patients with ALI and randomize to APRV or conventional MV for 24 hours. After this time the patients will be switched to the alternative mode of ventilation (MV or APRV) for another 24 hours. To assess breathing comfort, at the end of each 24-hour period we will measure the amounts of sedative and analgesic medications used. We will also measure the concentrations of markers of inflammation in the blood and lung as measures of VILI. Finally, throughout the study we will compare the adequacy of gas exchange with APRV compared to conventional MV.
