1. Esophageal ultrasound guided (EUS-B) sampling of intrathoracic lymph nodes has a14% higher granuloma detection rate compared to endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)guided nodal sampling in patients with suspected sarcoidosis stage I/II.2. 25G ProCore…
Patients with chronic respiratory failure currently start their ventilatory support in hospital as stated in national guideline. However, as these patients are severely disabled, a stay at the hospital for several days is experienced by many as very…
We hypothesize that speckle tracking sonography of the diaphragm is a potential non-invasive method to evaluate diaphragm function. The objective is to evaluate whether speckle tracking sonography of the diaphragm gives a good representation of…
We want to investigate if it is possible to set up the entire process of home mechanical ventilation outside the hospital. This means practically that the patients will not be admitted to the hospital. The goal of this study is to answer the…
To evaluate the ability of the IL-2 scan tot detect the presence of acute rejection in the transplanted lungs and the correlate the uptake of IL-2 with the histopathological findings after transbronchial biopsy.
Primary Objective: To study the options of the PulmoVista 500 system to visualize regional real-time lung ventilation in healthy volunteersResearch questions:- Can the PulmoVista 500 system provide sufficient information regarding regional lung…
The primary goal is to evaluate the difference between diaphragm tissue characteristics and movement in extubated COVID-ICU patients after >72 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation compared to other ICU-patients and healthy controls.…
1). Develop a model in which the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) is used to predict the transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) 2) Assess to which degree this model is accurate in estimation Pdi-derived parameters (such as work of breathing…
