Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial Is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of active or sham HD-tDCS in combination with dexmedetomidine in patients with moderate to severe ARDS due to COVID-19 with delirium in intensive care unit (ICU). The hypothesis was that HD-tDCS combined with concomitant dexmedetomidine would reduce delirium rates.
Effects of Exercise training on Patients With Long COVID-19, is a single-center, randomized, controlled trial designed to evaluate the effects of 4- week aerobic exercise administered to patients with long COVID-19 symptoms. The main outcome is cardiopulmonary fitness and long COVID-19 symptom improvement. Quality of life, depression, anxiety, insomnia status and perceived stress will also be assessed before and after the exercise program.
The aim of this cohort study is to validate Viture®, a continuous temperature telemonitoring system, evaluating the level of agreement with a standard commercially available digital axillary thermometer. The study also aims to evaluate the safety and comfort of the system and to evaluate the impact that the introduction of Viture has on the health care practice of a HaH unit. Furthermore, the advantages of Viture compared to the standard method will be evaluated.
In the COVID-19 healthcare crisis, one possible treatment therapy that has generated the most discussion is that of proning, or the position in which the patient lays face down as opposed to face up for a period of time. As the pandemic continues, this method has been more widely adopted to increase oxygen saturation in patients in respiratory distress. While proning research is both ongoing and extensive in the ICU population of COVID-19 patients, minimal research has been conducted with acute care patients. The researchers aim to address this gap with this study. The researchers used a systematic approach to educate patients and staff about patient self-proning, implementing self-proning every 2 hours, and monitoring escalation of oxygen levels, as well as length of stay in the acute care unit. The researchers hypothesized an improvement in oxygen saturation levels as evidenced by no escalation of respiratory care (i.e. higher levels of oxygen needed, transfer to higher level of care), resulting in shorter lengths of stay for the intervention population.
More than 60% of patients infected with COVID-19 have long-term symptoms. These symptoms are associated with common ground-glass opacities on computed tomography scans and chest radiographs. The pathophysiology of long-term persistent symptoms is largely unknown, but hypoxia and hypoxic tissue damage, decreased pulmonary diffusion capacity, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, and lung fibrosis caused by COVID-19-associated pneumonia are thought to cause long-term symptoms. Desaturation may occur during exercise due to hypoxia, pneumonia and lung involvement in patients with post-COVID syndrome. Oxygenation of peripheral muscles may decrease due to hypoxemia, but there is not enough study on this subject yet.
PRactice of Ventilation and Adjunctive Therapies in COVID-19 Patients. An observational study of ventilation practice and adjunctive therapies in critically ill, invasively ventilated COVID-19 patients during the first and second surge of COVID-19 in the Netherlands.
We designed this study to examine whether COVID-19 infection could lead to retinal and choroidal microvascular involvement in school-age children (6-18 years) in a pandemic peak in China.
The goal of this observational study is to determine if intranasal lavage reduces symptoms in adults with COVID-19. The main question is can a hypochlorous acid solution reduce the symptoms of COVID-19. Participants will asked to do the following: - Irrigate each nostril once a day for ten days with a hypochlorous acid solution. - Write a daily record of the presence or absence of symptoms such as fever, headache, chills, nausea, or change in sense of smell. - After ten days, return the daily log in the mail to the investigator.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a public health concern; for which the WHO recommends protective measures and vaccination. There is inadequate data on the impact of COVID-19 vaccination and control measures in Africa. This survey is collecting data about people's knowledge, attitude and compliance regarding COVID-19 disease and vaccines.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel infectious disease that has been spreading worldwide Coronaviridae study group of the International Committee on taxonomy of viruses (2020). The clinical manifestation of COVID-19 can range from asymptomatic infection to critical illness with severe pneumonia, respiratory failure, and death. Vitamin A is of special interest in the field of infectious diseases, especially for pulmonary infections. It is crucial for the development of normal lung tissue and tissue repair after injury due to infection. Therefore, it may play a role in recovery after severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Vitamin A has immune regulatory functions and positively affects both the innate and adaptive immune cell response. The anti-oxidant Vitamin E, and trace element selenium, are major components of anti-oxidant defense. Epidemiological studies demonstrate that deficiencies in, either of these nutrients, alters immune responses and viral pathogenicity. Data concerning vitamin A and E plasma levels in COVID-19 patients are lacking. Therefore, this study aims at characterizing vitamin A and E plasma levels in COVID-19 and analyzing the association of plasma levels with disease severity and outcome.
