Filter by:The role of different levels of compliance and long-term effects of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy on gas exchange, sleepiness, quality of life, depression and death rate in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS).
THRIVE (Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange) refers to the use of high-flow nasal cannula to augment the ability to oxygenate and ventilate a patient under general anesthesia. The use of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen supplementation during anesthesia for surgical procedures has been a recent development in the adult population, with limited data analyzing the pediatric population. This study will determine whether high flow nasal cannula oxygen supplementation during surgical or endoscopic procedures can safely prevent desaturation events in children under anesthesia.
The main objective will be to determine the effectiveness of home non-invasive ventilation by flow-time and time-pressure curves analysis in a cohort of patients with this treatment by digital diagnosis platform.
As part of developing a relay alarm project, the aim of the study is to test a sleeper's capability to wake up via a vibrating alarm around the wrist (vibrating bracelet).
A prospective observation study to screen adult obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) patients who were newly admitted to the medical intensive care units and turned out to be diagnosed as Obesity hypoventilation syndrome(OHS). The investigators purpose is to look into the prevalence, predictive factors, and outcomes of OHS in these critically ill patients.
Procedure sedation of flexible bronchoscopy (FB) comforts patients undergoing FB. Hypoventilation during FB is a concern. The investigators investigate the feasibility of monitoring capnography in FB sedation.
The indications for mechanical ventilation (MV) include excessive work of breathing, with or without evidence of respiratory muscle fatigue. The setting of the MV is still a challenge because it is based on criteria understudied, often subjective and observer-dependent. Despite several studies, to our knowledge has never been done before is the precise definition of the optimal range of ventilatory support. Novel and recognizable diagnostic techniques will be applied. No single parameter of the breathing pattern has good accuracy for the adjustment of ventilatory support. Non-invasive measures such as P0.1 and rate of muscle relaxation may have good accuracy for the adjustment of ventilatory support.
This study is designed to determine if using peripheral nerve stimulation in conjunction with pulse oximetry as an adjunct to traditional monitoring in the PACU reduces the frequency and severity of sedation related apnea and hypoxic events.
Different tools may be used to monitor the efficacy of home mechanical ventilation. Investigators aimed to compare the prognostic value of the different data obtained by capno-oxymetry in a mechanical ventilated neuromuscular disease's population.
Pre-Hospital Advanced Airway Management (PHAAM) is a potentially lifesaving intervention. A recent Danish multicentre single country study demonstrated a 99,7% incidence of successful anaesthesiologist pre-hospital endotracheal intubation, with a PHAAM-related complication rate of 7.9%. A London study revealed a significantly higher intubation failure rate among non-anaesthesiologist physicians. In Scandinavia different types of emergency medical services (EMS) and professions provide PHAAM. The success rate of prehospital endotracheal intubation (PHETI), incidence of difficult intubation and complications in the Nordic countries is not known. The aim of this study is to define PHAAM success rate and complications in different types of Nordic EMS organisations and physician critical care teams. The study is a prospective observational study with collection of PHAAM data according to the template by Sollid et al. in the 12 participating Nordic Countries EMS/HEMS centres and physician critical care teams. The primary endpoint is PHETI success on ≤2 attempts and no complications.
