NCT07538102
This study aims to evaluate the effect of respiratory physiotherapy on diaphragm thickness in patients receiving mechanical ventilation support in the intensive care unit. Thinning and dysfunction of the diaphragm muscle observed during mechanical ventilation complicate the extubation process and increase the risk of respiratory failure in patients. Diaphragm dysfunction prolongs ventilator use and increases ICU mortality. The main objective of this research is to determine whether respiratory physiotherapy has protective or ameliorative effects on diaphragm muscle structure and function, to optimize the ventilator weaning process, and to provide scientific contributions to the field of respiratory rehabilitation. Changes in diaphragm thickness will be objectively evaluated using ultrasonography, and the aim is to obtain evidence-based data on the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy.
NCT07477054
A single-arm, prospective, multicenter cohort study to assess the 30-day continued safety and effectiveness of the AeroPace System in patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) at least 96 hours and who have not weaned. This is a study collecting real-world data in a post-market setting.
NCT05998018
This prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the pdSTIM System to facilitate weaning from mechanical ventilation through phrenic nerve stimulation. Potential subjects who are on mechanical ventilation for at least four days and have failed at least one weaning attempt will be considered for the study. Those enrolled will be randomized in a 1:1 manner between the treatment group that is standard of care with the pdSTIM System and a Control group, which is standard of care alone.
NCT07363902
Up to 76% of ICU patients on mechanical ventilation develop significant respiratory muscle atrophy within the first 24 hours, contributing to prolonged ventilation, increased morbidity, and higher healthcare costs. To date, there is no practical, non-invasive technology that offers synchronized, personalized electrostimulation for both inspiratory and expiratory muscles during mechanical ventilation. Heecap is a medical product designed to provide transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the respiratory muscles (TERM) that are involved in inspiration and expiration, detecting those in which it is clinically relevant and safe to provide such stimulation in assisted respiration. The following study aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary performance of the stimulation algorithm in mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU. This evaluation will specifically focus on the algorithm's ability to synchronize stimulation with the patient's breathing patterns, and on evaluating the safety and feasibility of the TERM in activating respiratory muscles.
NCT06420999
ICU survivors are at an increased risk of hospital and ICU readmission. Among the complications of ICU stay, diaphragmatic dysfunction is common, with a prevalence of 60 to 80%, and is associated with increased mortality and prolonged hospital stays. Furthermore, several studies have reported that the observation of impaired respiratory muscle function upon ICU discharge is associated with a poor long-term prognosis. However, the incidence and prognostic impact of persistent diaphragmatic dysfunction at ICU discharge have never been evaluated. The measurement of dyspnea, a composite evaluation of respiratory muscle function, has not been assessed for predicting prognosis upon ICU discharge. The hypothesis of the project is that the presence of ICU-acquired diaphragmatic dysfunction at ICU discharge is associated with a poorer prognosis within 90 days.
NCT03107949
An early feasibility study to investigate the safety and feasibility of the Lungpacer Diaphragm Pacing Therapy System (DPTS) as a therapy to recondition and strengthen the diaphragm of patients who have been intubated and invasively mechanically ventilated for \> or = 7 days, have failed two or more spontaneous breathing trials (SBT), and were not hypervolemic during the latest SBT.
NCT04309123
This study will be conducted as a pilot trial of the TransAeris system for the prevention and treatment of ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) in patients identified prior to surgery to be at greater risk of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV).
