To evaluate the efficacy and safety of SUPRAtube innovation device in preventing ventilator associated events fluid accumulation supraglottic region patients receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) through orotracheal tubes. Multicenter, controlled, randomized, parallel, open-label clinical trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio MV compared use elastomeric standard care aspiration techniques. A series computer-random numbers centralized sealed envelopes were used. Adult (n=108; mean age: 63 yrs,...
Up to 14 % of critically ill patients receive renal replacement therapy (RRT) during their ICU stay and are treated with intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) or one the continuous (CRRT) techniques. The choice a modality (IHD CRRT) technique (continuuous veno-venous -hemodialysis (CVVHD), -hemofiltration (CVVH), - hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF)), way it is delivered, may have an impact on outcomes but only few studies addressed this question. We aimed survey availability, settings, clinicians'...
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our program changed model of care pursuing to protect multidisciplinary team from risk infection and serve as many patients possible. Patient–healthcare interactions were restricted, ECMO bed capacity was increased by reducing specialist–patient ratio 1:4 with non-ECMO trained nurses support. The outcomes worsened we paused while evaluated modified our care. reduced allow a nurse...
Abstract Background Heart transplant (HT) remains the most frequently indicated therapy for patients with end‐stage heart failure that improves prognosis in Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCM). However, lack of benznidazole and availability RT‐PCR follow‐up many centers is a major limitation to perform this life‐saving intervention, as there are concerns related risk reactivation. We aimed describe outcomes cohort CCM who underwent HT using conventional protocol mycophenolate mofetil, without...
Although tissue engineering uses powerful biological tools, it still has a weak conceptual foundation, which is restricted at the cell level. The design criteria level are not directly related with functions, and consequently, such functions cannot be implemented in bioartificial tissues currently used methods. On contrary, field of artificial organs focuses on function that treated as integral entities, instead optimization organ components. already developed tested methodologies based...
Supporting homeostasis in a pregnant woman with brain death to achieve fetal viability is called somatic support. We present case of young at 21 weeks' gestation who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary influenza A H2N3 infection requiring veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) support for refractory hypoxemia. The clinical course was complicated by intracranial hemorrhage and subsequent death. After multidisciplinary team discussion her family,...

Una de las técnicas más comunes tratamiento respiratorio es la nebulización medicamentos para administrarlos por vía inhalada utilizando oxígeno como propelente, el cual a su vez considerado un fármaco que puede generar efectos adversos relacionados con dosificación. El objetivo esta investigación fue diseñar, desarrollar y analizar sistema dual micronebulización control preciso FIO2. 
 Métodos: Se diseñó, construyó evaluó modelo virtual prototipo funcional siguiendo metodología...
A new, to our knowledge, method for evaluating three-dimensional flux distributions general filament light sources is presented. The main advantages of the developed model are its generality and simplicity. From plots emitted luminous intensity, usually provided by lamp's manufacturer, in three orthogonal planes a detailed account given how establish emission from source any direction. involves selective smoothing procedure, curve-fitting step, final interpolation. full typical commercial...
Introduction: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has increased exponentially in recent years and shown to be effective treating adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary H1N1-related pneumonia. However, evidence remains controversial. This study describes a case series ECMO ARDS viral Methods: A search was conducted the database Fundación Cardiovascular de Colombia for 2013-2017 period. report written patients diagnosed with confirmed or suspected Results:...
Bronchoaspiration of content that accumulates in the supraglottic area (eg, saliva, gastroesophageal reflux) is a risk factor for ventilator-associated pneumonia. A continuous suction system may decrease bronchoaspiration these patients.(1) Constructing conceptual model and functional prototype device use humans; (2) defining characteristics ex vivo swine head models; (3) evaluating its efficacy safety mechanically ventilated patients.Study conducted three phases. First phase: definition...
Introducción: los dispositivos respiratorios vibrátiles son útiles como elementos de terapia respiratoria pues facilitan la expectoración las secreciones bronquiales. Un dispositivo respiratorio vibración que incorpore válvulas duales representa una innovación relevante respecto a modelos existentes. El presente estudio describe invención y evaluación un nuevo médico portátil alta frecuencia para uso humano permite simultáneamente el entrenamiento muscular pacientes con enfermedades...
