To compare a ventilation strategy using higher levels of PEEP with recruitment maneuvers with one using lower levels of PEEP without recruitment maneuvers in obese patients at an intermediate-to-high risk for PPCs.We hypothesize that an intra-…
The present study aims at comparing a ventilation strategy with a lower tidal volume and a higher respiratory rate with ventilation using a higher tidal volume and a lower respiratory rate in ICU patients without moderate or severe ARDS.
Reducing the number of readmissions in the revolving door patients diagnosed with COPD by means of an outreaching care nurse.
The present study aims at comparing the post-operative lung injury of a lung*protective mechanical ventilation strategy (with the use of higher levels of PEEP and intra*operative recruitment maneuvers) with conventional mechanical ventilation (lower…
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of a standard and early RM in newly intubated critically ill patients. The secondary objective is to determine the effect of an early RM on cardiac function. We hypothesize an early RM to…
The current proposal aims at testing an innovative, implementable, effective intervention strategy towards stopping of passive smoke exposure in children at risk for asthma.
The objective of RAKKER2 is to study is, in terms of implementation, to get insight in the question 'to whom' a multifaceted primary prevention program should be offered. Therefore, in this study the predictive value of family history of…
Main objective of this study is to investigate whether a high air exchange rate improves cognitive and/or respiratory functions in elementary school pupils in classrooms. Furthermore: to identify environment determinants of effects of ventilation to…
Analyze the protective effect of levocetirizine (LEV), through the direct antagonism of airway H1 receptors and the inhibition of the release or production of other inflammatory mediators, against exercise induced airway obstruction.
To investigate:- Whether a harm reduction strategy with education and counseling is effective in reducing the use of AAS by amateur athletes. - The harm reduction potential of an additional online consultation with a well-known fitness expert. -…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate if using Hospital Fit 2.0 as part of the usual care physiotherapy treatment of patients hospitalised at the department of Internal Medicine and the department of Pulmonology in MUMC+ will result…
The overall objective of this RCT is to determine the effectiveness and long-term outcome of an individualized high PEEP ventilation strategy with recruitment maneuvers compared to a standard low PEEP strategy without recruitment maneuvers. The…
The overall objective of this RCT is to determine the effectiveness and long-term outcome of an high PEEP strategy, aiming at preventing atelectasis, but avoiding an increase in driving pressure, during intraoperative ventilation. Specifically, this…
