Bacterial Colonization in Tracheostomized Patients With Neurological or Neuromuscular Disease
Infectious Disorder of TracheaRespiratory Tract Infections1 morePatients with neurological or neuromuscular diseases may need a long-term tracheostomy to improve their respiratory function. Bacterial flora and bacterial drug resistance in the respiratory tract have never been studied until then for this type of patient in spite of their frequent hospital stay, their regular exposition to antibiotics and their susceptibility to swallowing disorders due to their pathology. This study is based on a single tracheal aspirate within the 48 first hours of the patient stay for a ventilation check up beside any infectious context to describe the basal bacterial respiratory flora.
Severe Pandemic H1N1 Infection in ICU: Comparative Resource Utilization
Novel H1N1 Influenzal Acute Respiratory InfectionThe main purpose of this study is to review the resource utilization of severe adult H1N1 pneumonia undergoing antiviral and oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation and support with pulmonary rescue therapies ( nitric oxide, ECMO, HFO) in critically ill patients in Winnipeg. Secondary objectives include, comparison of resource utilization to other similar disorders (viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, septic shock, ARDS). The investigators will also look at the percentage of patients that required ICU care as compared to those who could be cared for on medical wards. The investigators will determine the resources used by both groups and compare. Finally the investigators will record the frequency of chronic comorbidities in hospitalized adult H1N1 patients.
Posaconazole Prophylaxis for CAPA Prevention in Critically-Ill Patients
COVID-19 Respiratory InfectionAspergillosisCOVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is considered a potentially life-threatening infection in critically ill COVID (Corona Virus disease)-19 patients. This study will investigate the efficacy of mold-active prophylaxis with posaconazole for patients with severe SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)-CoV-2 infection admitted to the ICU (intensive care unit) in a multi-center case-control study in Europe.
