Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn"

Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) can be provided using rigid or soft catheters, but possible differences in terms of easiness of use and success of the procedure are unknown. A difficult procedure may have some drawbacks such as the prolonged duration of the laryngoscopy needed to insert the device, which is likely to aggravate the invasiveness of the procedure and result in stressful consequences such as bradycardia, hypoxia, and hemodynamic changes. Objectives: i) time of device positioning, ii) success of the procedure of positioning the device, iii) participant's satisfaction.

Randomized control trial, Ram cannula VS short nasal prongs for delivering Non Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) for preterm infants

Noninvasive ventilation has been used in preterm newborn with respiratory distress syndrome in an attempt to assist failure extubation. The investigators investigated failure extubation in infants gestational age less than or equal to 34 weeks and weights less than or equal to 1500 grams. Neonates were randomized to noninvasive modalities support. 101 newborns were included in this study in three groups , group 1: Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) (n=36), group 2: Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Bubble (NCPAP bubble) (n=33) and group 3: Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Bubble Ventilator (NCPAP ventilator) (n=32)

Doctors follow a standard ventilator management strategy when making adjustments to the breathing machine to optimize the amount of oxygen into the lungs. The purpose of this study is to assess whether the EIT (electrical impedance tomography) device can be an additional useful tool for ventilator management and identifying the ideal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).

This is an open label phase II study of treatment with LEAF-4L6715 in patients who experience severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19, Sepsis or other Causes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the improvement in PaO2/FiO2 by more than 25% in patients treated with LEAF-4L6715.

Few data are available on the management of critically ill pregnant women with pneumonia related to SARS-CoV-2. In the absence of clear recommendations for the management of delivery, clinicians are faced with the risk of pregnancy continuation against the risk of premature birth. In these multicenter retrospective study, the investigators want to describe clinicians attitude on delivery management in pregnant women requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome related to SARS-CoV-2. Two strategies will be compared on maternal, obstetric and neonatal outcomes: Wait strategy defined by no extraction within 24 hours of invasive venting Early strategy defined by extraction within 24 hours of invasive ventin

The purpose of the study is to determine whether there are differences in bioelectrical function (measured by amplitude integrated electroencephalography) and brain oxygenation (measured by near infrared spectroscopy) while and after instillation of two different surfactant preparations.

Perfusion index may vary according to type of surfactant during the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that mechanical ventilation guided by the diaphragm EMG signal (also know as neurally adjusted ventilatory assist [NAVA]) is superior compared to pressure support and pressure control ventilation.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common scenario in intensive care unit. Discussions about it is exponentially growing up due its high mortality rates all over the world and low quality of life among survivors. Mechanical ventilation is recognized to play an important role in treatment of patients with ARDS. However, mechanical ventilation itself has the potential to produce or worsen alveolar injury if inadequate strategies are chosen. Several studies compared different mechanical ventilation strategies in ARDS but the results remain uncertain regarding their influence on survival in patients with ARDS. Thus, this is a multicentric randomized controlled trial, with allocation concealment and intention to treat analysis to investigate if maximum alveolar recruitment maneuver in association to Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titrated by static compliance of respiratory system (ART strategy) is able to increase 28 days survival in patients with moderate to severe ARDS compared to conventional strategy proposed by the ARDS Clinical Network (ARDSNet strategy). Patients considered to this trial are those in mechanical ventilation with diagnosis of moderate to severe ARDS less than 72hours. Patients included will be randomized to receive ART strategy or ARDSNet strategy and will be followed until hospital discharge, 28 days and 6 months.
