View clinical trials related to Hyperoxia.
Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate if automated adjustment of oxygen (with FreeO2 device) can reduce the hospital length of stay for acute exacerbation of COPD with comparison of manual oxygen titration.
The primary aim of this project is to get further knowledge of the physiology of flight atelectasis and its prevention. We seek to: 1) assess whether low levels of positive pressure breathing can prevent atelectasis formation in humans during exposure to hyperoxia and +Gz-accelerations. 2) get further knowledge on the effects of hypobaria on regional ventilation and perfusion. A secondary aim is to evaluate the effect of anti G-trouser inflation on ventilation and regional perfusion.
Patients undergoing Open Cardiac Surgery will be randomized into two groups. Group I will be ventilated with 40% Fio2 during induction, surgery and in Postoperative care unit. Group II will be ventilated with 100% Fio2 during induction and with 60-70% ( determined according to the arterial blood gas sample results) during surgery and in Postoperative care unit. Hemodynamic parameters ( systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure, heart rate ), Arterial blood gas samples ( PaO2, PaCO2, pH, Oxygen saturation, Lactate), and pre and post cardiopulmonary bypass Superoxide dismutase and malonyl aldehyde levels.
The iPROVE-O2 trial aims at comparing the efficacy of high and conventional FiO2 within a perioperative individualized ventilatory strategy to reduce the overall incidence of SSI.
