COMPLETED
The Use of Heliox in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Description

The goals of the project is to evaluate the effects of Heliox therapy on obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).

COMPLETED
The Use of Heliox Via Nasal CPAP to Prevent Early CPAP Failure in Premature Infants: A Feasibility Study
Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and utility of using heliox gas in combination with nasal CPAP in premature infants. The investigators hypothesize that using heliox gas in combination with nasal CPAP will results in decreased early nasal CPAP failure requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation.

COMPLETED
Heliox-Driven Racemic Epinephrine in Treatment of Bronchiolitis in Pediatric ED Patients
Description

The purpose of this study is to assess whether children with moderate to severe bronchiolitis treated with standard racemic epinephrine therapy via 70:30 helium-oxygen (heliox) driven nebulization will have improvements in measurements of airway more rapidly than those treated with conventional air-oxygen driven nebulization.

TERMINATED
Heliox-Powered Albuterol Therapy in the Treatment of Children Admitted With Acute Asthma Exacerbation
Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether heliox-powered albuterol nebulizer therapy will result in reduced inpatient length of stay in children hospitalized with acute asthma exacerbations.

TERMINATED
Helium-oxygen Gas Mixtures Delivered by a High Flow Nasal Cannula in Bronchiolitis
Description

The aim of this prospective pilot study is to determine the effect of heliox delivered via a proprietary calibrated heated and humidified high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) system (Vapotherm Precision Flow Heliox) in children ages 0-24 months with severe bronchiolitis.
