Wean Earlier and Automatically with New technology (the WEAN study): a protocol of a multicentre, pilot randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Weaning is the process during which mechanical ventilation is withdrawn and the work of breathing is transferred from the ventilator back to the patient. Prolonged weaning is associated with development of ventilator-related complications and longer stays in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Computerized or Automated Weaning is a novel weaning strategy that continuously measures and ada...
متن کاملNosocomial Infection in Critically Ill Patient Receiving Stress Ulcer Prophylactic Drugs
Acidic pH of stomach, which is a normal physiological barrier against bacterial overgrowth, would increase by stress ulcer prophylaxis initiation and may lead to bacterial colonization and play as a source for infection transmission to the respiratory system which results in ventilator related pneumonia in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Therefore, finding methods to ...
متن کاملDaily interruption of sedation in critically ill children: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND In adult patients who are critically ill and mechanically ventilated, daily interruption of sedation (DSI) is an effective method of improving sedation management, resulting in a decrease of the duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the length of stay in the hospital. It is a safe and effective approach and is common practice in a...
متن کاملSudden Complete Versus Gradual Weaning from Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Preterm Neonates: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is used as respiratory support in preterm neonates; however, the best weaning method has not yet been determined. In this study, we compared sudden complete and gradual weaning from nasal CPAP (NCPAP) in preterm newborns. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 62 prete...
متن کاملThe effects of foot massage on physiologic indicators in critically ill patients
The perpuse of this research is to determine the effect of foot massage on physiologic indicators including pulse, respiration and mean arterial pressure. The hypothesis of this research is that foot massage decreases the patient´s heart rate, respiratory rate and mean arterial pressure. This research is a quasiexperimental study and a self-control clinical trial with repeated measures in witch...
