Dynamic thoracic EIT is capable of detecting changes the ventilation distribution in lung. Nevertheless, it has yet to become an established clinical tool. Therefore, necessary consider application scenarios wherein fast and distinct tissue conductivities are be found also have a clear diagnostic significance. One such scenario artificial patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). New protective strategies involving recruitment manoeuvres associated with noticeable...
Abstract GRT 9906 is an investigational novel compound with μ‐opioid receptor agonism and inhibition of noradrenalin/serotonin re‐uptake. In this randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, three‐way cross‐over trial in painful polyneuropathy, the efficacy safety was assessed compared tramadol. During 4‐week treatment periods, daily oral doses either 120–240 mg, or placebo, tramadol 200–400 mg were given. These separated by 1‐week washout periods. The primary endpoint average pain...
Background: Monitoring of functional residual capacity (FRC) may help detecting alveolar derecruitment and guiding countermeasures like recruitment maneuvers. The aim this study was to detect the possible decrease FRC after a suctioning procedure indicating effect successful maneuver on pulmonary function. Methods: We studied 20 postoperative mechanically ventilated cardiac surgery patients. assessed by oxygen washout using sidestream O2-analyser (LUFU system (Drager Medical AG, Luebeck,...
Assessment of regional alveolar recruitment and derecruitment during protective respiratory therapy in lung failure is necessary to predict the process ventilatory avoid pulmonary complications. Different studies showed that clinical management ARDS can successfully be controlled by CT scan analysis [1]. Information about distribution ventilation also assessed bedside method electrical impedance tomography (EIT) [2]. To correlate assessment with EIT scans as a reference technique PEEP trial,...
The individualization of lung protective ventilation strategies (e.g. recruitment maneuvers [RM] and PEEP titration to keep the lungs open) requires careful bedside observations. Many parameters must be monitored, which calls for computer aid. A fuzzy-logic expert system has been tested regarding its ability automatically conduct RMs based on open concept (OLC).
Abstract Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD), the problematic consumption of alcohol, affects 107 million people worldwide. Individuals with AUD experience high morbidity and increased mortality. Nurses practicing in acute care are ideally positioned to deliver quality interventions patients AUD, including screening brief intervention; formal training assessment baseline knowledge, attitudes, perceptions necessary. Aims Objectives The aim this study was explore nurses caring for AUD....

The results of the ARDS Network trial [1] demonstrated a significant reduction mortality by using mechanical ventilation protocol with tidal volumes (VT) 6 ml/kg predicated body weight. Additionally, computer-driven weaning was successfully performed and duration could be [2]. implementation in routine ICU practice remains modest [3]. A possible reason is increased organisational temporal burden. An automated execution would help to propagate its day-to-day use. To test ability automate such...
