Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn"

To test the effectiveness of a respiratory physiotherapy treatment plan in patients who have passed COVID-19, comparing two randomized groups, for the performance of different respiratory musculature training protocols. To objectify the results data obtained by means of ultrasound measurements and spirometry, observing the differences obtained at the beginning and end of the study, verifying the effectiveness of the PowerBreathe® ,Therosold PEP® tools and the effectiveness of diaphragmatic, abdominal and expiratory exercises.

the aim of the study is to assess safety and efficacy of prone position ventilation beyond the usual 16 hrs in patients with SARS-COV-2

The study to evaluate the effect of cyclosporine ( IL2 inhibitor and antiviral) verse standard care treatment on decrease ADRS, hyper inflammation, hypercytokinemia, and the mortality rate

The present study will utilize esophageal manometry to measure the presence and magnitude of persistent patient effort during lung protective ventilation, allowing identification and mitigation of occult lung stress.

Determine the usability of an interface and its accessories to provide non-invasive respiratory therapy to neonates and infants.

Vitamin D deficiency is a common, potentially reversible contributor to morbidity and mortality among critically ill patients. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial of early vitamin D3 supplementation in critically ill, vitamin D-deficient patients who were at high risk for death. Patients screened as vitamin D deficient (<20 ng/mL) were randomized. Randomization occurred within 12 hours after the decision to admit the patient to an intensive care unit. Eligible patients received a single enteral dose of 540,000 IU of vitamin D3 or matched placebo. The primary end point was 90-day all-cause, all-location mortality.

The investigators compared advantages and disadvantages of two forms of noninvasive respiratory support -noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) or nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) -as a primary mode of ventilation in premature infants with RDS．

The primary hypothesis of this study is reduction in need of mechanical ventilation in the first 72 hours of life (excluding the transient tracheal intubation performed for surfactant administration and the mechanical ventilation for lung recruitment) in spontaneously breathing infants born at 24+0-27+6 weeks' gestation and failing nCPAP during the first 24 hours of life who received an HFOV recruitment maneuver (IN-REC-SUR-E) compared to no recruitment maneuver (IN-SUR-E) just prior to surfactant administration followed by prompt extubation.

This short pilot study is to assess the tolerance of preterm infants, born below 32 weeks gestation with respiratory distress syndrome, to flow-cycle ventilation, and see if infants require less overall pressure from the ventilator than the usual conventional settings used, with the aim of providing data to construct a larger trial looking at the longer term outcome of these infants using this type of ventilation in the future. Many preterm infants at these gestations require assistance from a ventilator due to the immaturity of their lungs. The lungs of preterm infants are susceptible to damage, especially if high pressures are needed or prolonged periods of ventilation. There is concern that if the infant's breathing pattern does not synchronise with the ventilator, this causes additional distress, longer duration of ventilation needed and increased risk of complications. Over the past 20 years, a different type of ventilation, known as flow-cycle ventilation, has been trialed, with limited use in preterm infants. This allows the baby to determine the duration of breathing in and out and how many breaths they require per minute. This would help babies to synchronise better with the ventilator, and consequently require less pressure from the ventilator. This pilot study is being conducted at St. Mary's Hospital, Manchester. All babies born under 32 weeks gestation, with a stable respiratory effort, will be eligible for consideration for the study. The study will last no longer than 5 hours and involve the babies receiving different pressures from the ventilator in flow-cycle mode for 1-hour epochs. Blood gases after each epoch and continuous ventilator data will be downloaded to assess their tolerance on the different settings, before being returned to the usual conventional settings used on the unit. The babies will have continuous monitoring throughout as per standard neonatal intensive care.

The objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of treatment with Non Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in decreasing the requirement for endotracheal ventilation in neonates with respiratory distress within the first hours of birth.Primary outcome is the non invasive respiratory support failure and the need for intubated ventilatory support during the first 72 hours of life. Randomized control , single center trial. Eighty neonates admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) were randomly allocated to NIPPV and CPAP. Outcomes of respiratory support were observed and information on risk factors were obtained by going through bed head ticket.
