Filter by:Background: Patients with COVID-19 have a range of clinical spectrum from asymptomatic infection, mild illness, moderate infection requiring supplemental oxygen and severe infection requiring intensive care support. High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may offer respiratory support to patients with COVID-19 complicated by acute hypoxemic respiratory failure if conventional oxygen therapy (COT) fails to maintain satisfactory oxygenation but whether these respiratory therapies would lead to airborne viral transmission is unknown. Aims: This study examines whether SARS-2 virus can be detected in small particles in the hospital isolation rooms in patients who receive a) HFNC, b) NIV via oronasal masks and c) conventional nasal cannula for respiratory failure. Method: A field test to be performed at the Prince of Wales hospital ward 12C single bed isolation room with 12 air changes/hr on patients (n=5 for each category of respiratory therapy) with confirmed COVID-19 who require treatment for respiratory failure with a) HFNC up to 60L/min, b) NIV via oronasal masks and c) conventional nasal cannula up to 5L/min of oxygen. While the patient is on respiratory support, we would position 3 stationary devices in the isolation room (one next to each side of the bed and another at the end of the bed) of the patient with confirmed COVID-19 infection, and sample the air for four hours continuously. Results & implications: If air sampling RTPCR and viral culture is positive, this would objectively confirm that HFNC and NIV require airborne precaution by healthcare workers during application.
The overall objective of this investigation is to understand the patient response to a robotic platform used to facilitate telehealth triage in the emergency department during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the manner in which emergency department triage is completed. Attempts at cohorting individuals with potential COVID-19 disease in order to prevent disease transmission to healthcare workers and minimize the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) have renewed interest in telemedical solutions as a method to triage and manage individuals with COVID-19. This investigation deploys a legged robotic platform to facilitate agile, highly mobile telemedicine to manage COVID-19 patients in the emergency department. The primary objective is to measure the patient response to interacting with these systems.
This is a retrospective analytical study conducted at Vascular and Endovascular surgery Department, Mansoura University Hospital, including all patients admitted at the two periods first six months of 2019 and 2020.To demonstrate the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the practice of emergency vascular surgery and critical limb threatening ischemia interventions by comparison two periods first six months of 2019 and 2020.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether inhaled epoprostenol given via a breath actuated delivery system will help improve oxygen levels and treatment outcomes in patients with COVID-19 who are on mechanical ventilation.
Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin have been proposed as treatment of COVID-19 patients, but few reports have assessed this combination therapy in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Many raised concerns regarding the potential cardiac toxicity of this association. The purpose of this monocenter retrospective observational study is to evaluate the safety of a short term treatment with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in critically ill patients admitted in ICU for severe COVID-19 with respiratory failure. The main objective is to assess the incidence of severe cardiac arrhythmia e.g torsade de pointes and cardiac arrest or sudden death, during the treatment period.
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial investigating the safety and efficacy of C21 in subjects who are hospitalised with COVID-19 infection, but not in need of mechanical invasive or non-invasive ventilation. In total, approximately 100 subjects will be enrolled and randomised to receive twice daily oral administration of either standard of care (SoC) + placebo (N=50) or SoC + C21 (N=50). Subjects will be treated for 7 days.
Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, responsible of COVID-19, is accompanied by many venous thromboembolic events. Antithrombotic treatment is the cornerstone of management of many neurovascular diseases (NVDs) and the benefit-risk ratio is crucial to avoid hemorrhagic complications. Therefore, in non-severe COVID-19 patients affected by NVDs, the diagnostic of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is challenging. Using bedside Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) of lower limbs, this study investigated the rates of DVT in these patients in stroke unit.
Primary Objectives: Cohort A: • To evaluate the efficacy of REGN10933+REGN10987 compared to placebo in preventing symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection (broad-term) confirmed by RT-qPCR Cohort A and Cohort A1: • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN10933+REGN10987 following subcutaneous (SC) administration compared to placebo Cohort B • To evaluate the efficacy of REGN10933+REGN10987 compared to placebo in preventing COVID-19 symptoms (broad-term) Cohort B and Cohort B1 • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN10933+REGN10987 following SC administration compared to placebo
In the context of the containment imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and taking into account the numerous restrictions imposed, the practice of physical and sports activities (PSA) could be reduced by general population and sports population. While the practice of regular physical activity (PA) is prescribed and widely recognized as effective for the management of many chronic conditions and that regular participation in sports (SA) reduces the risk of injury and cardiac accidents- vascular disease in sports subjects, the reduction in regular physical activity levels in the wake of the period of confinement is likely to induce a medical risk in connection with the resumption of PSA.
This is a research study to see how safe and effective decidual stromal cells are in treating patients with respiratory failure (breathing problem where not enough oxygen is passed from the lungs into the blood) caused by COVID-19.
