EFFECTS OF ARTIFICIALLY - INDUCED INTRINSIC POSITIVE END - EXPIRATORY PRESSURE IN MECHANICALLY VENTILATED PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE.
It has been suggested that, in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF), relative to conventional mechanical ventilation with application of external positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPe), mechanical ventilation artificially inducing intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi) worsens arterial oxygen tension …

Patterns of acute kidney injury and functional outcome scores in pediatric patients hospitalized with acute respiratory failure
BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is diagnosed in up to 30% of children admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICU) and is strongly associated with morbidity and mortality. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on patient-centered outcomes and quality of life among survivors of …

Risk factors for prolonged ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presenting with acute respiratory failure
… with COPD presenting to the Emergency Unit with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure often require invasive mechanical ventilation and subsequent admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). These patients are at an increased risk of prolonged and complicated ventilation and often experience …

An evaluation of monitoring of respiratory physiological parameters in patients treated with non-invasive ventilation in the emergency department in Sligo University Hospital in Ireland
Background: Acute respiratory failure is becoming a frequent phenomenon in the emergency department due to increasing life expectancy, and in the last two decades the number of presentations has more than doubled. Non-invasive ventilation has become the treatment modality of choice in selected …

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF-REPORT AND PERFORMANCE-BASED MEASURES OF PHYSICAL FUNCTION FOLLOWING AN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT STAY
PURPOSE: The relationship between self-report and performance-based measures of physical function has not been addressed in ICU patients. The purpose of this study was to examine this association in these patients. METHODS: 300 ICU patients were randomized into an exercise program (ExP) or standard …

Carbon dioxide transfer in membrane oxygenators and associated membranes
A recently developed therapy for treatment of acute respiratory failure requires that the patient's metabolic carbon dioxide production be eliminated by a membrane oxygenator operated in an extracorporeal blood circuit. In conjunction with peripheral cannulation, the oxygenator should be optimised …

Critical Illness in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies
… to admission to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Acute respiratory failure is the most frequent reason for ICU admission in these patients. Existing knowledge gaps in the field include the lack of population-based estimates of the incidence and timing of ICU admission in these patients and the …

Early Versus Delayed Tracheostomy in Mechanically Ventilated Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Background: Acute respiratory failure due to the acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may need intensive care unit (ICU) admission and invasive ventilation that places COPD patients at a higher risk of prolonged ventilation. Tracheostomy procedures are widely used in …

Novel methods within a randomised controlled trial in respiratory disease
… a series of novel methods as solutions in respiratory medicine.<br/><br/>Methods:<br/>A number of studies were embedded within the CLEAR bronchiectasis trial. Studies investigated remote data collection in lung function using patient-led technology, the use of remote patient reported …

IMPACT OF SARS-COV-2 RESPIRATORY INFECTION ON CLINICAL OUTCOMES AND NEED FOR NON-INVASIVE VENTILATORY SUPPORT IN ACUTE EXACERBATIONS OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE: A SINGLE-CENTER, PROSPECTIVE, OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
… was primarily aimed to identify the risk of acute respiratory failure (ARF) requiring non-invasive respiratory support up to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (C-PAP) and Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 triggered COPD exacerbation compared to patients with …

The design, development, and validation of an accessible high flow nasal oxygen solution with patient scoring outputs
Introduction Acute respiratory failure patients are admitted to healthcare units to treat hypoxemic symptoms. High Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) device are medical oxygen therapy devices, with its use emerging through the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing to treat congenital diseases, to effectively treat …
