Main lines of research

Acute Respiratory Failure and Artificial Ventilation

  • Non-invasive ventilation.
  • New ventilation modes: proportional-assist ventilation and NAVA.
  • Prone decubitus in acute respiratory dysfunction syndrome (ARDS).
  • Artificial ventilation withdrawal.
  • Expert ventilation systems.
  • Sleep and artificial ventilation.
  • Early and active mobilization of the critical patient.
  • Extracorporeal CO2 removal in ARDS patients.
  • High-flow oxygen administration by nasal cannula in postextubation phase.
  • Prevalence of drug interactions in critical care unit.

Study of the Usefulness of New Biomarkers in Critically Ill Patients

  • BNP in weaning from mechanical ventilation.
  • Use of the NGAL protein in the renal prognosis of critically ill patients.
  • Strict control of blood glucose in critically ill patients.
  • Prophylaxis of acute gastric mucosal injury in critically ill patients.
  • Study of the haemodynamic effects of different antipyretic drugs in critically ill patients.
  • Influence of position change to supine decubitus position in intra-abdominal pressure.

Challenges

  • Consolidate clinical and physiological research into ventilation in critically ill patients through multicentre and multinational networking.
  • Create a stable and well-trained group of researchers in this discipline.
