Dead Space and Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Description

The goal of this observational study is to determine whether a marker of dead space (the end-tidal to alveolar dead space fraction \[AVDSf\]) is more strongly associated with mortality risk than markers of oxygenation abnormality (oxygenation index) and to determine whether dead space (AVDSf) is an important marker of heterogeneity in the inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) treatment effect for children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The study aims are: 1. To validate AVDSf for risk stratification of mortality in pediatric ARDS 2. To determine if there is heterogeneity in treatment effect for iNO defined by AVDSf 3. To detect the association between AVDSf and microvascular dysfunction trajectory and whether iNO therapy modifies this association This is a prospective, multicenter observational study of 1260 mechanically ventilated children with moderate to severe ARDS.

ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING
An Observational Study to Identify New Health Problems Arising After an Intensive Care Unit Admission in People With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in the United States
Description

This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) are studied. ARDS is a life-threatening condition in which fluid builds up in the lungs making breathing difficult. In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or any changes to health care. People who are admitted to ICU for serious illnesses, like ARDS, often experience new health problems during and after their ICU stays. These health problems that may include physical, mental, and/or emotional disorders, are called post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Identifying these new health problems early can help people by timely treatments and care. In this study, researchers want to identify any health problems that arise after ICU admission in people with ARDS in the United States (US). To do this, researchers will collect information on health problems, treatments, medicines, and healthcare visits in people with ARDS, 1 year before and after an ICU admission. They will then look to see whether the health problems are in areas that have been described as the post intensive care syndrome (PICS). In addition, they will measure healthcare related costs in the one year after admission and compare it to the one year prior to admission. Researchers will also compare this information with data collected for people with pneumonia who did not require ICU admission. This will help them to identify any new health problems arising due to ICU stays. The data will come from participants' medical claims information stored in the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart database from 2016 to 2022. The claims data will only be collected for people in the US. Researchers will collect data from participants admitted to ICU for ARDS for a maximum of 1 year before and after their stay.

SUSPENDED
Vascular ARDS Recruitment After Inhaled Nitric Oxide
Description

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is when a person's lungs become inflamed, which can be caused by infection, trauma, surgery, blood transfusion, or burn. ARDS often leads to a situation where the person cannot breathe independently and needs machines' help. Once the lungs are inflamed, the small air sacs responsible for exchanging gases (i.e., ventilation) and the blood flow in the lungs (i.e., perfusion) can be affected. In the past, most research focused on studying ventilation physiology and how to help people breathe with machines. Less was done on perfusion because it requires imaging techniques such as computed tomography with intravenous contrast and radiation. One treatment option for low oxygen levels is inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), a gas that can dilate the lung blood vessels and improve oxygenation; however, it is not always clear whether this treatment will work. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a bedside and accessible imaging technique that is radiation-free and non-invasive and can potentially detect changes in lung perfusion. EIT can perform multiple measurements; it is portable and accessible. This prospective interventional study aims to assess changes in regional blood perfusion in the lungs of patients with ARDS in response to iNO utilizing EIT. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. If EIT can measure lung regional perfusion response to an iNO challenge of 20ppm for 15 minutes. 2. If EIT is comparable to dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), the gold-standard method to detect changes in regional lung perfusion. 3. If EIT can be an imaging marker to identify ARDS severity Participants will be divided into two cohorts: 1. Cohort 1 (n=60): Participants will be asked to be monitored by EIT before, during, and after the administration of iNO (20 ppm) for 15 minutes (OFF-ON-OFF) 2. Cohort 2 (N=10): Participants will be asked to be monitored by EIT and DECT before and during the administration of iNO (20 ppm) for 15 minutes (OFF-ON).

RECRUITING
Macrophage Programing in Acute Lung Injury: MiniBAL
Description

The goal of this observational clinical trial is to learn about the role white blood cells (macrophages) play in lung inflammation in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does the immune system respond to different kinds of lung injury and inflammation and how do those processes differ from each other? 2. What roles do the cells that live in the lungs (macrophages) play in turning off inflammation? How does their role differ from other cells that are called to the lung to help repair injury (recruited macrophages)? 3. Will more frequent testing of lung cell samples help reduce the time it takes to start treatment for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and therefore reduce the rates of initial therapy failure? Participants will be in the intensive care unit (ICU) on a mechanical ventilator (machine that helps patients breathe) because they have ARDS or are on a mechanical ventilator for some other reason (control group). The following will happen: 1. Participants will be given 100% oxygen through the breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) for 3-5 minutes. This is called pre-oxygenation. 2. A lung specialist (pulmonologist), a member of Dr. Janssen's research team, or respiratory therapist will place small amount of saline into the lung using a long catheter going through the breathing tube. 3. The fluid will be removed with suction and will be sent to the laboratory for testing. 4. This will be repeated two more times over the course of 10 days, or less if participants are taken off of the ventilator. The procedure will be performed no more than three times. 5. Two nasal brushings will be taken from the participants' nose. 6. Approximately 3 tablespoons of blood will be removed by putting a needle into the participants vein. This is the standard method used to obtain blood for tests. A total of 9 tablespoons will be taken for research purposes over the course of this study 7. Data including the participants age, sex, severity of illness, and other medical conditions will be recorded to determine how these can affect the white blood cells. 8. If bacteria are isolated from the fluid in the participants lung, the participants' physician may choose to place the participants on antibiotics to treat an infection. 9. A follow-up phone call may be made by a member of the research team after discharge from the hospital. At this time, the participant may be invited to participate in the Post-ICU clinic at National Jewish Health.

ARDS in Children and ECMO Initiation Strategies Impact on Neurodevelopment (ASCEND)
Description

ASCEND researchers are partnering with families of children who receive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after a sudden failure of breathing named pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). ECMO is a life support technology that uses an artificial lung outside of the body to do the lung's work. ASCEND has two objectives. The first objective is to learn more about children's abilities and quality of life among ECMO-supported children in the year after they leave the pediatric intensive care unit. The second objective is to compare short and long-term patient outcomes in two groups of children: one group managed with a mechanical ventilation protocol that reserves the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) until protocol failure to another group supported on ECMO per usual care.

UNKNOWN
The Use of Exosomes for the Treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome or Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Caused by COVID-19
Description

Novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are both associated with the prevailing upper respiratory tract infections caused by the RNA-containing SARS-CoV2 virus of the genius Betacoronavirus of the Coronaviridae family. As both the viral infiltration and infection progress, the host immune system response can be one of a rapidly developing fatal cytokine storm. In the ARDS or NCP ensuing progression, the patient often succumbs to the effects of the hyper pro-inflammatory response, hence contributing to the associated increased mortality as a result of the cytokine storm and associated pathogenesis.
