The Role of Circulating Soluble CD74 in Acute Lung Injury
Acute Lung InjuryAcute Respiratory Distress SyndromeEfforts to identify circulating factors that predict severity of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome(ALI/ARDS) patients is unrevealing. The primary purpose of this study is to verify our hypothesis that soluble CD74 might be a potential novel ALI/ARDS biomarker.
Effects of PEEP and FIO2 in ALI and ARDS
Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeAcute Lung Injury1 moreCurrent American-European Consensus Conference (AECC) definitions for ALI and ARDS are inadequate for inclusion into clinical trials due to the lack of standardization for measuring the oxygenation defect. We questioned whether an early assessment of oxygenation on specific ventilator settings would identify patients with established ARDS (persisting over 24h).
Timing and Intensity of the Exposures and Attributable Burden of Acute Lung Injury
Acute Lung InjuryAcute Respiratory Distress SyndromeThe purpose of the study is to identify the patients at high risk of developing Acute Lung Injury (ALI) at the time of hospital admission, and before intensive care unit admission. Aim 1- To validate the prediction model (Lung Injury Prediction Score) in a population based sample of hospitalized patients. Aim 2- To determine the significance of health-care related ALI risk modifiers in a population based sample. Aim 3- To compare the short and long term outcomes between patients at high risk who do, and do not develop ALI.
Etiology and Outcomes of Tropical Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeThis is a prospective observational study done to know the etiology and outcomes of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Ventilation's Parameters Applied in Emergency Medicine. A Prospective Observational Study
Mechanical VentilationAcute Respiratory Distress Syndrome2 moreTo prospectively assess the mechanical ventilation management when its provided by Emergency Physicians in French Hospital, and to assess complications and outcome of these patients. The study could be measure the proportion of patients developing an Acute Respiratory Failure Distress after a take care of by French Emergency Departments.
Prono Position and Mechanical Power
Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeThe primary objective of the study is to compare the mechanical power applied to the respiratory system in patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome in supine positioning and after the implementation of prone positioning while mantaining the same ventilatory setting. The secondary objetive of the study is to compare the mechanical power applied to the respiratory system in patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome in supine positioning and after the implementation of prone positioning and adjusting an individualized ventilatory setting.
Risk Factors for Prolonged Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress...
COVID-19Mechanical Ventilation4 moreThis multicentric prospective clinical practice study aims at evaluating clinical factors associated with a prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation and other outcomes such as mortality and ICU length of stay in patients affected from COVID-19 related pneumonia and ARDS.
Prone Position Improves End-Expiratory Lung Volumes in COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome...
Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeCoronavirus2 moreCovid-19 associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) may present with profound hypoxemia not fully explained with pulmonary infiltrates. Accordingly, how prone positioning improves oxygenation in these patients is not fully known. The investigators conducted a study among patients with severe Covid-19 ARDS receiving prone position for at least 16 hours. End Expiratory Lung Volume (EELV) was measured with Nitrogen wash-in/wash-out technique before (Supine Position 1- SP1), during (Prone Position - PP) and after (Supine Position 2 - SP2) prone positioning.
Cognitive Functions After COVID-19
COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeCognitive DeclineThis study was aimed to evaluate the post-infection cognitive functions of adult individuals with COVID-19. 50 individuals with COVID-19 and 50 healthy control groups were included in the study. Cognitive functions of individuals with COVID19 compared with healthy individuals.
Electrical Impedance Tomography: Collapse in Dependent Areas as a Predictor of Response to Prone...
SARS-CoV InfectionAcute Respiratory Distress SyndromeThere are several clinical presentations of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Among the severe forms, pulmonary involvement with respiratory failure is common. Although severe lung involvement with SARS-CoV-2 meets the Berlin criteria for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), it differs from classic ARDS in that compliance (reflecting distensibility of the lung parenchyma) is frequently preserved. If the interest of Electrical Impedance Tomography has been demonstrated in classical ARDS, this is not the case in ARDS with COVID-19. However, the use of this technique in this particular patient population would make it possible to distinguish patients with severe hypoxemia linked to derecruitment from those without derecruitment, in whom hypoxemia is more likely to be linked to the loss of hypoxic vasoconstriction.
