NCT ID: NCT06227234 Not yet recruiting - Airway Obstruction Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Foreign Body Airway Obstruction Interventions Through Simulation

Start date: July 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

WHY IS THIS STUDY BEING DONE? Little is known about the best treatment for choking. New airway clearance devices like LifeVac© and Dechoker© are being sold to help a choking person. Researchers do not know how well they work compared to other techniques like abdominal thrusts or back blows. The purpose of this research study is to see how well bystanders can use the choking techniques. RESEARCH QUESTION Among laypersons, which FBAO intervention (abdominal thrusts, LifeVac©, or Dechoker©) results in the greatest proportion of FBAO relief within one-minute? PARTICIPANTS Adults who have not completed prior training on any of the devices or techniques within 5 years, or used them in real life. INTERVENTIONS View a video of each choking intervention, and then complete a choking scenario where participants will try to relieve an airway obstruction on a simulation mannequin. The three interventions are: LifeVac, Dechoker, and Abdominal Thrusts. Participants will be invited back between 90-120 days to repeat the scenarios to assess retention.

NCT ID: NCT06106503 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Foreign Body Aspiration

Routine Chest X-ray Post Rigid Bronchoscopy for Foreign Body Extraction: is it Necessary?

Start date: December 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Airway foreign body is one of the common emergencies. Its clinical presentation is variable, ranging from a clinically asymptomatic state to dire state of respiratory failure needing urgent attention and intervention. The gold standard for management is rigid bronchoscopy (RB) under general anaesthesia. Complications that can occur during removal of foreign body include bleeding, pneumothorax and rupture of tracheobronchial tree. Complication rates are higher during foreign body removal in children. Performance of routine post bronchoscopy chest radiography (CXR) results in an extremely low diagnostic yield but nevertheless is the common clinical practice prevailing today. It has previously been suggested that routine post bronchoscopy CXR could be avoided in asymptomatic patients.

NCT ID: NCT05966545 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Intraocular Foreign Body

Extraction Routes of Intraocular Foreign Body

IOFB
Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Intra ocular foreign body removal is indicated to avoid further many complications such as retinal detachment, endophthalmitis. The surgical approach for a posterior segment IOFB is pars plana vitrectomy and its extraction either through the pars plana. our study is to compare limbal route versus pars plana route for extraction of posterior segment IOFB associated with cataract as regard to safety and complications.

NCT ID: NCT05891106 Completed - Corneal Ulcer Clinical Trials

AONDA Therapeutic Indication Study I

Start date: June 28, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study will be used to support assessment of AIR OPTIX® NIGHT & DAY® AQUA (AONDA) Soft Contact Lenses' safety and performance in accordance with updated European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) requirements.

NCT ID: NCT05888363 Completed - Rectal Foreign Body Clinical Trials

Management and Removal of Foreign Bodies in the Emergency Department

Start date: December 8, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Management of rectal foreign bodies presents unique challenges in the emergency department. Rectal foreign bodies may consist of various compositional materials and ergonomics which include but are not limited to vegetables, light bulbs, everyday household items, and body packing of illicit drugs. Patients presenting to the emergency department with rectal foreign bodies range widely in age from prepubertal patients to older adults. Insertion of rectal foreign bodies have been classified as voluntary or involuntary, as well as sexual or non-sexual. The definition of rectal foreign bodies can be blurry, as many objects inserted via the rectum are large enough to enter the sigmoid colon. Although detailed epidemiologic data are scant, recent studies reported a progressive rise in complications related to rectal foreign bodies with incidence disproportionately higher in men and an average age in the mid 40s.

NCT ID: NCT05679284 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Substance Dependence

A Cross-Sectional Observational Study on Retained Drug Needle Fragments in People Who Use Intravenous Drugs

Start date: May 25, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In addition to the well-known toxicological harms of intravenous drug (IVD) use, there can also be local tissue complications, including infections, venous sclerosis, tissue necrosis, and drug needle fragment retentions. Drug needle fragments in subcutaneous tissue may cause local symptoms (usually pain and infections), but they have also been identified as causing emboli to organs. The literature has described numerous case reports of people who inject drugs (PWIDs) and have retained needle fragments. The prevalence of the condition is not known, and the researchers therefore aim to perform the first cross-sectional study of PWIDs to estimate how common needle fragment retentions are and what their risk factors are in this population.

NCT ID: NCT05652166 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Information Remembered by Parents Following the Ingestion of Foreign Body by Their Child

What Information is Remembered by Parents Following the Ingestion of Foreign Body by Their Child?

MICE
Start date: May 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a very common domestic accident in children. The prevention of the recurrence by securing child's environment is mandatory. The study will study whether the advices of follow-up at home and recurrence prophylaxis were given to parents after a foreign ingestion by their child.

NCT ID: NCT05648929 Completed - Wounds and Injuries Clinical Trials

Experimental and Clinical Investigation of the Implant Surface Roughness Reduction Effect on Early-stage Fibrosis

Start date: January 20, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this single-center, randomised double-blinded trial is to compare the early stage fibrosis progression around conventional textured expander and the SmoothSilk® expander with reduced surface roughness in women undergoing bilateral nipple or skin sparing mastectomy in a prophylactic setting followed by tissue-expander based breast reconstruction. Researchers will compare intra-individually, the conventional textured expander CPX®(Mentor) and the SmoothSilk® (Motiva) expander (i) to gain a comprehensive insight into immunological mechanisms occurring at the timepoint of expander insertion (within the first days after implantation) based on WBF analysis in vitro, (ii)to determine the role and function of immune cells in a rather early stage of capsule formation (6-8 months after implantation) and under well-defined conditions in humans as well as (iii)to analyze the aesthetic outcome and clinical parameters after bilateral implant-based reconstruction using two expanders with varying surface topography within the individual patient (intra-individually).

NCT ID: NCT05373342 Not yet recruiting - Childbirth Clinical Trials

Feasibility Study to Evaluate the Role of a Novel Device in Childbirth

PRINCE
Start date: June 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Accidentally retained surgical items or swabs are well-recognised errors that result in adverse consequences for patients. This error is one of the commonest "Never Events" - patient safety incidents that are considered preventable. Although uncommon, these incidents can have devastating consequences. Retained surgical items have 70% re-interventions, reaching 80% morbidity and 35% mortality. Swabs or sponges are like small towels that soak up blood and body fluids so that the surgeon can visualise the operating area effectively. Swabs are used in all areas of surgery which include operations on the tummy, chest, limbs. They are also used in the vagina during childbirth, to assess for tears and to minimise blood oozing from the vagina. The common risk factors for this error are out of hours surgical or childbirth procedures, multiple handovers in the care of the patient, raised BMI (Body Mass Index) and unplanned change to the operative intervention. As the name suggests, a 'never event' should never happen in the first place. Never. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Incidents involving surgical swabs being left behind, particularly during a caesarean section or a perineal repair following a vaginal birth, are still happening despite over 100 years of institutional awareness of the problem and tentative solutions being implemented in clinical practice. never-event incidents involving retained surgical swabs are a widespread problem affecting healthcare systems worldwide. It is therefore reasonable to ask the question: why are surgical swabs being left behind and what can be done to prevent this from happening?
