In this study we would like to find new biomarkers in BOS after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), that may lead to earlier identification of BOS than a lung function decline.
Reducing the number of readmissions in the revolving door patients diagnosed with COPD by means of an outreaching care nurse.
Different sampling methods have been used for respiratory microbiome analyses, including both invasive as well as non-invasive techniques. We would like to investigate if the results of the bronchoscopy are comparable with results from the nose swab…
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.
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-…
Primary objective: * To study differences in global lung aeration before and during spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilationSecondary objective:* To study the work of breathing (WOB) under various pressure support (PS) levels in…
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…
to assess patient's overall preference for the two inhaler devices in COPD patients after 2 weeks of dialy practice.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the validity of the 4MGS and 5STS to determine the functional exercise performance of PF patients.
The primairy objective of this study is to investigate how many children who where diagnosed with episodic viral weeze by a hospital-based paediatrican have astma at the age of 6-8 years. The secundary objective of this study is to examine the…
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.
Research questions:What is the current prevalence of latex allergy among operating room employees from Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam? Is the sensitisation prevalence significantly lower compared to the prevalence before introducing non powdered…
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…
Objective:1. To describe the prevalence and incidence of *difficult-to-treat* adult asthma in the Netherlands.2. To describe factors associated with adherence with pulmonary medication in patients with difficult-to-treat airway disease. 3. To…
To determine feasibility and reproducibility of MicroRint pulmonary function testing in 50+ people with different levels of intellectual disability.
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 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…
This study will evaluate the effect of dose tracking in conjunction with reminder notificationsand motivational/adaptive messages over 24 weeks on treatment adherence behavior insubjects with COPD. The dose tracking is done by the Concept2 inhaler…
2.1 Primary Objective(s):The primary objective of this study is to determine whether analysis of breath-to-breath respiratory variability provides more information on the mechanism that is responsible for the RCP. Two hypotheses are tested: 1. After…
