NCT ID: NCT02718794 Recruiting - Education Clinical Trials

Simulation-based and Problem-based Learning for Difficult Airway Management

Start date: August 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Teaching and learning of difficult airway management are considered to be an essential skill in anesthesiology. As a result, doctors and nurses in anesthesia have to be vigilant in every step including airway assessment, equipment preparation and strategic planning of the process. During the one-year training program, nurse anesthetist students intensively study theories and practical skills in anesthesia, using manikins to living patients. Difficult airway management has become a distinguished means in the training curriculum. In addition, the educational tool in the anesthesia curriculum is typically simulation-based learning (SBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) courses. As a result, we designed a cross-over study to determine the learning achievement of nurse anesthetist students in difficult airway management. The objectives were to study the learning achievement and relative growth of knowledge of the two learning techniques: SBL and PBL. Thirty-six nurse anesthetist students in Academic Year 2015, volunteered to join the study project. After signing the consent form, they were randomly put into two groups: A (n = 17) and B (n = 19). As designed by the cross-over study, students in group A attended SBL and after 6 weeks, they focused on PBL, and vice versa for group B. The 40-item, multiple choices exam was developed in regard to difficult airway management guidelines. The correctness and appropriateness of the test (content validity) were determined by three board-certified anesthesiologists. The try out of the test was performed by 10 novice nurse anesthetists. The index of item objective congruence was 0.82 with Kuder Richardson 21 of 0.8. The assessed criterion-referenced item difficulty and discrimination index were 0.4-0.6 and 0.6-0.8 respectively. The pretest (X1, X2) were post-test ((Y1, Y2) were performed in the consequence. The relative growth of knowledge (G1, G2) was calculated as follows: G1 = 100 (Y1 - X1) / (F - X1) % G2 = 100 (Y2 - X2) / (F - X2) % Where F was the full scores of the learning course Statistics analysis The test scores and relative growth of knowledge between the two groups were expressed as mean and standard deviation. Comparison between the two groups was performed by repeated measure ANOVA. Statistically significant differences were considered when there was a p value of < 0.05 with a 95% confidence interval.

NCT ID: NCT02715726 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Evaluation of Alirocumab Versus Ezetimibe on Top of Statin in Asia in High Cardiovascular Risk Patients With Hypercholesterolemia

ODYSSEY EAST
Start date: July 27, 2016
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab as add-on therapy to stable maximally tolerated daily statin therapy in comparison to ezetimibe 10 mg daily after 24 weeks of treatment in Asia in participants with hypercholesterolemia at high cardiovascular (CV) risk. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the effect of alirocumab 75 mg in comparison with ezetimibe 10 mg on LDL-C after 12 weeks of treatment. - To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on other lipid parameters: e.g., apolipoprotein B (Apo B), non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), lipoprotein a (Lp[a]), HDL-C, triglycerides (TG), apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1). - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab. - To evaluate the development of anti-alirocumab antibodies. - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of alirocumab.

NCT ID: NCT02713620 Completed - Hepatitis B Clinical Trials

Hepatitis B Vaccination in HIV-infected Adults

Start date: January 2015
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This is a follow up study from the published article entitled "Comparison of immunogenicity and safety of four doses and four double doses vs. standard doses of hepatitis B vaccination in HIV-infected adults: a randomized, controlled trial" by Chaiklang K, Wipasa J, Chaiwarith R, Praparattanapan J, Supparatpinyo K. that was published in PLoS One. 2013 Nov 12;8(11):e80409. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0080409. eCollection 2013. ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT1289106. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the HBV vaccination regimens using either four standard doses or four double doses compared with the current standard regimen of three doses in HIV-infected adults in northern Thailand. In addition, the investigators evaluated the efficacy of the HBV vaccination with the current standard regimen of three doses between healthy adults and HIV-infected patients.

NCT ID: NCT02704468 Completed - Vascular Stiffness Clinical Trials

FGF21 Can Help Predicting Arterial Stiffness Measured by Cardio-ankle Vascular Index in Renal Transplant Patients

CAVIFGF21
Start date: January 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Chronic kidney disease(CKD) patients have high incidence of coronary artery problems event after renal transplantation. And remain a major cause of mortality. The major risk marker is arterial stiffness. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new index of overall stiffness and can estimated the risk of atherosclerosis. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) is a metabolic regulator that plays important role in cardiac remodeling elevated FGF-21 have been reported in coronary heart disease or carotid artery plaque and could be biomarkers for atherosclerosis disease Investigators aimed to study the association between CAVI and FGF-21 and their relations to various parameters that can contribute to cardiovascular disease eg. homocysteine Echocardiogram findings and other traditional basic factors.
