Filter by:This study is a randomized-controlled trial study comparing the association between several degree of head elevation and conventional position during pre-oxygenation to desaturation time in patients undergo endotracheal intubation with general anesthesia
During induction of general anaesthesia physiological breathing stops and needs to be artificially established with facemask ventilation, and finally tracheal intubation or placement of a supraglottic airway. During the airway management, when lungs are not or only poorly ventilated, there is a risk for atelectasis. These atelectasis can contribute to respiratory adverse events (e.g. pulmonary infection or respiratory insufficiency) during or after general anaesthesia. High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is the administration of heated, humidified and blended air/oxygen mixture via a nasal cannula at rates ≥ 2 L/kg/min. HFNO used during airway management (i.e. intubation) can extend the tolerance for apnea, the time from end of physiological breathing until artificial ventilation is established. The main objective of this study is thus to investigate the variations of poorly ventilated lung units (i.e., silent spaces) as a surrogate for functional residual capacity measured by electrical impedance tomography to dynamically assess atelectasis formation and regression under apnoeic oxygenation with different flow rates.
Evaluation of upper airway with Magnetic Resonance and polysomnographic at the pre and post operative of 23 women having undergone bariatric surgery (with the Y-Roux technique) for treatment of obesity.
The research topic is to explore the effectiveness of abdominal breathing on improving of depression, anxiety, and heart rate variability in obstructive sleep apnea patients with depressive symptoms. This study method adopts an experimental research design and divided into experimental group and control group by random sampling. Experimental group receives abdominal breathing training, whereas control group without receiving abdominal breathing training.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of nasal desobstruction surgery (septoplasty, septorhinoplasty or total ethmoidectomy) on sleep quality, assessed by the variation of the Wake after sleep onset (WASO), in patients presenting with sleep disorders and severe nasal obstruction.
Childhood obesity increases significantly, and determines several complications in childhood and adulthood, and the worldwide prevalence of childhood obesity has shown a rapid increase in recent decades. The severity of obesity-related risk factors is directly linked to body fat topography, and variations in body fat distribution in obese children can be of high value in predicting future health risks, like of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. There is a potential correlation between obesity and sleep disorders, increasing the predisposition to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, that is a frequent complication, affecting up to 80% of obese children and adolescents. In relation to postural control, and that anthropometric indicators interfere with children's postural balance, already verified by balance assessment using computerized dynamic posturography. Several studies show that physical activity in childhood and adolescence can influence healthy habits in adulthood. Children and youth ages 5 to 17 should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity daily. It is important to emphasize that the COVID-19 has impacted every aspect of healthcare delivery, and therefore Telerehabilitation has been satisfactorily addressed in reabilitation In the exercise recommendations for children, exercise programs performing aerobic and resistance exercises at a high level of intensity, on a frequent basis (3-5 days a week) for 30-80 minutes, seeking intensity of 50-90% of the maximum heart rate (HRmax), can be used and are shown to be efficient for the treatment of obesity. Therefore the High-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes physical exercise that is characterized by brief, intermittent bursts of vigorous activity, interspersed with periods of rest, cab generate favorable metabolic adaptations on sleep and body weight loss. Outcome Measures: Primary Outcome Measures - The effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and high-intensity functional training (HIFT) through Telerehabilitation on body composition and Obstructive sleep apnea (assessed by body mass index and bioimpedanceand polysomnography type 4) Secondary Outcome Measures - Functional performance of children and adolescents (3 minute step test) - Balance (balance assessments with Wii Balance board) Inclusion Criteria: - Age ≥ 6 to 17 years; - Confirmed obesity children by body mass index acorrding to the age
OSAS has adverse effects on the functional capacity and quality of life of patients. This study aims to examine the impact of yoga on aerobic capacity, respiratory muscle strength, and cognitive performance in patients with OSAS. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups training (yoga) and control groups. The physical and demographic characteristics of the cases who signed the consent form will be recorded. Anthropometric measurements, circumference measurements, respiratory muscle strength (MIP and MEP), six-minute walking test (6MWT), and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) will be performed. Corsi Blocks Touch Test, Continuous Performance Test, and Stroop Test will be applied to evaluate cognitive performance. The Pittsburg Sleep Index will be used for sleep quality, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale for sleepiness, and the SF-36 scales for health-related quality of life. Subjects with OSAS in the yoga group will be included in group-based yoga sessions of 60 minutes, 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Unilateral basal and apical thoracic expansion exercises will be taught to the patients with OSAS in the control group in the first session. They will be followed as a home program. At the end of the sixth and twelfth week, the evaluations will be made again and the result measurements will be taken.
this study aims to assess the validity of BASET scoring as a new potential tool for diagnosis and grading the severity of OSAS patients and as screening of the risk factors of OSAS.
this study aims to evaluate the subjective symptoms, clinical and radiographic signs of temporomandibular disorders related to the use of CPAP, MAD and physical therapy in the treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
a monocentric,non interventional, prospective study to compare cardiovascular risk in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome treated with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Mandibular Advancement Orthosis.
