Using Vasopressor Medication to Support Blood Pressure During Intubation Procedure

Respiratory FailureHypotension and Shock3 more

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether protocolized vasopressor use for patients with normal blood pressure undergoing rapid sequence intubation improves hemodynamic parameters and mitigates adverse events. The hypothesis is that use of vasopressors during Rapid Sequence Intubation will prevent substantial decreases in blood pressure when compared to normal intravenous fluids.

Oliceridine in Patients With Acute Burn Injuries

Acute PainBurns4 more

Pain after acute burn injury is complex with much still not understood. The primary mechanism is believed to be nociceptive, but is interwoven with aspects of somatogenic, neuropathic, and psychogenic pathways. As such, opioid receptor agonists are an essential component for pain management after burn injury. The majority of wound care and dressing changes are completed in non-intubated patients and rates of respiratory depression concerning. Oliceridine is a biased, selective MOR agonist approved for treatment of acute pain. To date there is no literature of use in patients with burn injuries. While it should be effective, efficacy and the potential for reduced adverse events need to be quantified. Current practice and guidelines, plead for better analgesia for patients with burn injuries.

Milrinone in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Congenital Diaphragmatic HerniaPersistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn2 more

Infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) usually have pulmonary hypoplasia and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) leading to hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF). Pulmonary hypertension associated with CDH is frequently resistant to conventional pulmonary vasodilator therapy including inhaled nitric oxide (iNO). Increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) can lead to right ventricular overload and dysfunction. In patients with CDH, left ventricular dysfunction, either caused by right ventricular overload or a relative underdevelopment of the left ventricle, is associated with poor prognosis. Milrinone is an intravenous inotrope and lusitrope (enhances cardiac systolic contraction and diastolic relaxation respectively) with pulmonary vasodilator properties and has been shown anecdotally to improve oxygenation in PPHN. Milrinone is commonly used during the management of CDH although no randomized trials have been performed to test its efficacy. Thirty percent of infants with CDH in the Children's Hospital Neonatal Database (CHND) and 22% of late-preterm and term infants with CDH in the Pediatrix database received milrinone. In the recently published VICI trial, 84% of patients with CDH received a vasoactive medication. In the current pilot trial, neonates with an antenatal or postnatal diagnosis of CDH will be randomized to receive milrinone or placebo to establish safety of this medication in CDH and test its efficacy in improving oxygenation.

Nebulised Heparin in Patients With Severe COVID-19

Covid19Respiratory Failure

The Can nebulised HepArin Reduce morTality and time to Extubation in Patients with COVID-19 Requiring mechanical ventilation Meta-Trial (CHARTER-MT) is a prospective collaborative individual patient data analysis of randomised controlled trials and early phase studies. Individual studies are being conducted in multiple countries, including Australia, Ireland, the USA, and the UK. Mechanically ventilated patients with confirmed or strongly suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection, hypoxaemia and an acute pulmonary opacity in at least one lung quadrant on chest X-ray, will be randomised to nebulised heparin 25,000 Units every 6 hours or standard care (open label studies) or placebo (blinded placebo controlled studies) for up to 10 days while mechanically ventilated. All trials will collect a minimum core dataset. The primary outcome for the meta-trial is ventilator-free days during the first 28 days, defined as being alive and free from mechanical ventilation. Individual studies may have additional outcomes.

Combination of Inhaled DNase, Baricitinib and Tocilizumab in Severe COVID-19

COVID-19 Severe Respiratory Failure

In patients with COVID-19, severe hypoxemic respiratory failure (SRF) leading to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), raises the mortality rate substantially. Thus, the management of patients with SRF to avoid intubation and intensive care admission is a challenging and crucial issue. This study describes, as rescue/compassionate treatment, a therapeutic protocol based on the multi-mechanistic nature of severe COVID-19, using the combination of inhaled DNase, Baricitinib and Tocilizumab on top of standard of care (SOC) consisting of heparin and dexamethasone. COVID-19 patients with SRF who were treated with SOC, SOC plus Anakinra (ANA), and SOC plus Tocilizumab (TOCI) will be studied as comparators. Primary endpoint will be the reduction of the in-hospital mortality rate, whereas secondary endpoints concern intubation rate, days of hospitalization and overall survival as derived from the last follow-up visit, either in-office or remote. This is a non-randomized, open-label, study, conducted in the First Department of Internal Medicine, University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, Greece.

VICOR Study-High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillations (HFCWO) in Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure...

Acute Respiratory FailureAcute-on-chronic Respiratory Failure1 more

The study aims to evaluates if the treatment with HFCWO Via The Vest® Airway Clearance System, in addition to standard care in critically ill patients admitted in the Respiratory Intensive Care Unit for acute respiratory failure or acute on chronic respiratory failure and unable to manage secretions, could primarily prevent the need for bronchoscopy, and secondarily shorten duration of non invasive respiratory therapy, shorten length of stay and reduce mortality.

Closed-Loop O2 Use During Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Of Pediatric Patients

Respiratory Failure

During mechanical ventilation (MV) hypoxemic or hyperoxemic events should be carefully monitored and a quick response should be provided by the caregiver at the bedside. Pediatric mechanical ventilation consensus conference (PEMVECC) guidelines suggest to measure SpO2 in all ventilated children and furthermore to measure partial arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) in moderate-to-severe disease. There were no predefined upper and lower limits for oxygenation in pediatric guidelines, however, Pediatric acute lung injury consensus conference PALICC guidelines proposed SpO2 between 92 - 97% when positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is smaller than 10 cm H2O and SpO2 of 88 - 92% when PEEP is bigger or equal to 10 cm H2O. For healthy lung, PEMVECC proposed the SpO2>95% when breathing a FiO2 of 21%. As a rule of thumb, the minimum fraction of inspired O2 (FiO2) to reach these targets should be used. A recent Meta-analyze showed that automated FiO2 adjustment provides a significant improvement of time in target saturations, reduces periods of hyperoxia, and severe hypoxia in preterm infants on positive pressure respiratory support. This study aims to compare the closed-loop FiO2 controller with conventional control of FiO2 during mechanical ventilation of pediatric patients

HVNI for Successful Weaning in Respiratory Failure

Respiratory FailureWeaning Failure

The goal of this randomized active-controlled study is to investigate the role of high velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) in the immediate post-extubation period and compare it with non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) as regards to weaning success rate. The study will recruit those who have been on invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 3 days and with a high risk of weaning failure.
