Filter by:The purpose of this study is to verify the accuracy and applicability of predictors of fluid administration efficacy in hypotensive critically ill patients.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Voluven® in the prevention of maternal hypotension in women undergoing spinal anesthesia for cesarean section
Thyroid hormones are substances naturally made by the body and are important to many of your body's basic functions such as breathing and brain function. We are investigating whether or not these hormones are at lower levels in critically ill children which could lead to further health problems. We hope to get a better understanding of hormone levels and their effects on critically ill children to better help other children in the future.
In clinical trials in Japan, droxidopa has been shown to be effective in affecting blood pressure changes upon orthostatic challenge in patients with autonomic dysfunction, as well as reducing the severity and frequency of symptoms of orthostatic hypotension in these patients. The efficacy of droxidopa in ameliorating symptoms in patients undergoing dialysis has also been demonstrated in the literature and clinical trials conducted in Japan. The current study will investigate the clinical efficacy of two different doses of droxidopa in patients with intradialytic hypotension over a 4 week treatment period with a placebo control. The clinical efficacy will be evaluated by changes in hypotension- related symptoms, as well as changes in blood pressure prior to, during and following, HD sessions as compared to their pre-treatment baseline values.
- Determine the accuracy of the NTX wireless monitoring system alerts - Evaluate patient compliance with wearing device - Determine false alarm rates
- Reduction in time to detection of Clinically Significant events - Reduction of time to Intervention during Clinically Significant events - Reduction in the number of admissions to Intensive Care
The purpose of this study is to see whether droxidopa is effective in treating symptoms of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension in patients with Primary Autonomic Failure (Pure Autonomic Failure, Multiple System Atrophy, Parkinson's Disease), Non-diabetic neuropathy, or Beta Hydroxylase deficiency.
The purpose of this study is to try different medications in patients with low blood pressure and other problems with their involuntary (autonomic) nervous system. The pharmacological trials in this study will perhaps lead to more effective treatment. The protocol includes single dose trials, dose-selection trials, 5-day trials and chronic (approximately 2 months) trials, although only dose-selection trials were consistently performed and have results presented.
We will test the null hypothesis that there is no diurnal (morning to afternoon)variability in the blood pressure response to the ingestion of water 16 oz.
We are studying the effects of oral water ingestion in patients with orthostatic hypotension. In this study, we are testing the null hypothesis that the blood pressure increase with oral water ingestion will not be diminished if a full prior water dose is given a few hours earlier.
