Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Insufficiency"

In this prospective observational study, patients were selected from attendees of the intensive care unit. Different measures and outcomes had been studied and compared between patients with and without COPD, including hospitalization, medical costs, length of Intensive care stay, respiratory failure, and death rate.

Severe SARS-CoV-2 infections are frequently associated with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which leads to a mortality of 30-40%. An altered type I interferon (IFN) response has been demonstrated in patients with severe COVID-19, together with a high viral load. The aim of the current work is, in a large cohort of patients with severe COVID-19 admitted in the ICU, to determine the prevalence of patients with positive anti-IFN antibodies and to determine their outcome, as compared to patients having negative anti-IFN antibodies.

Timely prediction of impending respiratory failure is vital, yet relies on subjective clinical assessment of the patient's respiratory status. Pulse oximetry plethysmographic signal analysis is indicative of the effort to breathe and may provide an objective measurement of respiratory loading.

The study 'Survival rates and long-term outcomes for patients with COVID-19 admitted to Norwegian ICUs' is a national observational study, including patients admitted to a Norwegian ICU between March 2020 and March 2021. The study will describe survival rates, clinical characteristics and health challenges experienced by survivors the first year after ICU admission caused by COVID-19 disease.

This retrospective study aims to study characteristics of patients tracheotomized in the Lausanne ICU, both overall and by primary reasons of intubation. Ventilation data both before and after tracheotomy, weaning technique and timing are studied in this retrospective study.

This study is planned as a part of the post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) on a CE marked product. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate, in a routine clinical environment across a number of centers, that the fabian-PRICO can adequately maintain oxygen saturation, with minimal staff intervention.

Patients with Critical COVID-19 and respiratory failure who are ineligible for enrollment in NCT04311697, who live more than 50 miles from an existing collaborating research center, or who are already hospitalized and cannot safely be transferred to a collaborating research facility may be considered for expanded access by the sponsor. Treating physicians must complete FDA Form 3396 and receive a letter of authorization from NeuroRx, along with local IRB authorization.

The purpose of this national, multicenter service review is to determine and compare ventilation management in COVID-19 patients in the Netherlands, and to determine whether certain ventilation settings have an independent association with duration of ventilation. In every adult invasively ventilated COVID-19 patient from a participating ICU, granular ventilator settings and parameters will be collected from start of invasive ventilation for up to 72 hours. Follow up is until ICU and hospital discharge, and until day 90. The primary outcome includes main ventilator settings (including tidal volume, airway pressures, oxygen fraction and respiratory rate). Secondary endpoints are ventilator-free days and alive at day 28 (VFD-28); duration of mechanical ventilation; use of prone positioning and recruitment maneuvers; duration of ICU and hospital stay; incidence of kidney injury; and ICU, hospital, 28-day and 90-day mortality.

We hypothesized that diaphragm thickness is concerned in acute respiratory failure of COVID19 patients and its ultrasound measure at the begining of hospitalisation is a good predictor of poor outcome. A prospective observational non intervention study is designed.

This is a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with respiratory failure and admitted in West China Hospital during January 2014 to March 2016 by review of medical records. The following variables will be retrospectively studied: age, sex, marriage, height, weight, respiratory rate, PaO2, PaCO2, nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score, ALB, short-term and long-term prognostic outcomes, and so on. The purpose of this study is to compare the predictive power of three widely used nutritional assessment methods (BMI, NRS 2002 and ALB) predicting the prognostic outcomes in a cohort of COPD patients with respiratory failure.
