STimulation to Activate RespIration

Multi-center, randomized, controlled, open-label Phase 2 feasibility trial. Subjects on mechanical ventilation (MV) for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) with lung injury (including subjects who meet criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)) will be randomized 2:1 to diaphragm neurostimulation-assisted ventilation (DNAV) using the AeroNova System plus lung-protective ventilation (Treatment) vs. lung-protective ventilation alone (Control).

the Effect of Doxapram on Diaphragmatic Excursion(DE) During Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation.

The goal of this clincal trial is to learn if doxapram is effective in weaning in adults on mechanical ventilation. The objectives of this study: * Evaluate the effect of doxapram on diaphragmatic function (assessed by DE)during weaning from mechanical ventilation. * Assess the impact of doxapram on respiratory muscle sterngth. * Mointor adverse effects associated with doxapram administration. Researchers will compare expermental group(intervenous doxapram during weaning)with control group(saline infusion)during weaning. The patients who fulfull criteria of weaning will be subjected to our clincal trial and put on spontanous breathing trial for 120mins using positive end expiratory pressure (peep)5 cmh2o,pressure support 5cm h2o and fio2 0.3.By the end of the SBTthe patient will be extubated if ventilator parameters and vital signs were maintained within 20%of baseline values. The patients will be followed up after extubation and afailed weaning will be defined as the neeed for either invasive or non invasive ventilation for 72 after extubation or failed SBT.

Effectiveness of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Weaning ICU Patients

Patients in critical condition, due to their prolonged stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the severity of the underlying disease, and potential adverse effects of hospitalization, may develop serious complications, such as muscle atrophy and weakness, which also affect the respiratory muscles. It is characteristic that within the first 18-69 hours of mechanical ventilation (MV), proteolytic processes occur that lead to rapid atrophy of the diaphragm. Diaphragmatic dysfunction acquired during the ICU stay thus appears to have an adverse effect on weaning from mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, functional status, quality of life, and mortality within the ICU and the hospital. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been identified as an intervention that could augment weaning, preventing the dedtrimental effects of MV. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of an IMT protocol in weaning success of ICU patients. Specifically, an electronic device will be used that incorporates a tapered flow resistive technique.

Effect of Remimazolam Sedation on Outcomes of Mechanically Ventilated Patients in the ICU

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of remimazolam sedation on outcomes of mechanically ventilated ICU patients through a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled, pilot study.
