Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease characterized by progressive scarring of the lungs, which severely impairs lung function over time. Developing effective treatments for IPF has been a challenge for the medical community, as the mechanisms driving this disease are complex and not fully understood. To accelerate drug discovery, animal models that closely mimic the ...
In addition to air testing utilizing highly sensitive real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) techniques to help to stop the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, CTSI also helps to mitigate exposure risks through their expertise in mechanical ventilation, engineering controls, and other methods to protect patients, workers, and building occupants in healthcare ...
” Results from the analytical and clinical studies conclude that the Symphony IL-6 Test is an innovative technology for use in Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit settings to identify COVID-19 patients at higher risk for severe disease, including the requirement for Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV). This conclusion is based on the study ...
N8 Medical, LLC (N8 Medical) today announced its first-in-human clinical trials of its flagship CeraShield™ endotracheal tube (CeraShield™ ETT) for intensive care unit patients expected to require mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. N8 Medical is encouraged by preliminary study data and believes that the CeraShield™ ETT will ...
Zimmetry’s building science professionals can help to mitigate exposure concerns with their expertise in mechanical ventilation, engineering controls and other methods to protect building occupants in Puerto Rico and throughout the Caribbean. ...
HUMIDICARE® is a novel Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) which visually alerts clinical staff to a dual humidification error in mechanical ventilation circuits. Artificial humidification systems are used with ventilated patients in the operating theatre or intensive care unit. ...

Lungpacer Medical, a leading medical device innovation company, today announced the introduction of the AeroPace™ System, a next generation product, into the RESCUE 3 pivotal clinical study studying faster ventilator independence. Lungpacer is dedicated to natural breathing by developing minimally invasive technologies designed to help patients wean off ...
Chan continued, “ECMO is a machine that pumps and oxygenates blood outside the body when a patient’s lungs are so diseased that mechanical ventilation fails. Without ECMO, these patients – often considered among the sickest in the ICU – would normally die. ...
“The Hemolung will be an important new treatment modality for acute respiratory failure to avoid or mitigate the harms from invasive mechanical ventilation. FDA clearance of the Hemolung is a game-changer for the treatment of these critically ill patients and will usher in a new era of extracorporeal lung support,” said Steven Conrad, MD, PhD, MCCM, ...
For patients who do meet the criteria, diaphragm pacemakers have been found to be a better alternative to mechanical ventilators. They offer greater mobility and independence; the ability to more easily perform daily activities like getting dressed, bathing and transferring from a wheelchair; lower risk of infections, pneumonia, collapsed lungs, airway injuries ...
Sitting easily in line and without the need to break the circuit7, Aerogen is suitable for multiple areas across the hospital including those providing mechanical ventilation, non-invasive ventilation, high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy as well as use in spontaneously breathing patients on wards, emergency departments and outpatients2. ...

The trial did not meet statistical significance on the primary endpoint, defined as a difference in the proportion of participants progressing to the first occurrence of non-invasive ventilation including high flow oxygen or invasive mechanical ventilation including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or death by Day 28. ...
Grassin-Delyle et al. focused on adults undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit due to severe COVID-19 or non-COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ...
But for people who were on the edge of requiring invasive ventilation, median recovery time fell from 18 days on remdesivir alone to 10 days on both drugs. ...
Applying non-invasive electrical stimulation to the expiratory abdominal muscles may reduce abdominal muscle atrophy and markedly reduce the number of days adult patients require mechanical ventilation – a potentially important finding for weaning ventilated patients, including seriously ill COVID-19 patients, and improving patient ...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently updated its COVID-19 treatment guidelines to include treatment of up to 6 mg per day of dexamethasone for up to 10 days in patients that require supplemental oxygen, or those who are are mechanically ventilated. Prior to that, the NIH amended the treatment guidelines to recommend low-dose corticosteroid therapy ...
COVID-19 patients who become mechanically ventilated will require use of one of these plastic tubes to connect to the mechanical ...
“The first patient treated in this trial happened to be a woman who survived COVID-19 but was not able to be weaned from mechanical ventilation,” said Prof. Dr. Ralf Ewert, the head of the Pneumology, Infection Disease and Weaning Centre at the University Medical School of Greifswald. “With the new procedure, we were able to treat this patient, ...
” Sommetrics also filed an Emergency Use Authorization request to use a modified aerSleep® product to support patients with COVID-19 related respiratory impairment who are not candidates for mechanical ventilation. aerSleep®, which is intended to treat obstructive sleep apnea using an integrated vacuum source, has been modified to utilize readily ...
Liberate Medical today announced that it has received Federal Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization for its VentFree™ Respiratory Muscle Stimulator, intended to be used to reduce disuse atrophy of the abdominal wall muscles, which may reduce the number of days adult patients require mechanical ventilation, including those patients with ...
