Filter by:Croup is a common childhood respiratory disease that often leads to frequent emergency department visits. It is a viral infection that causes cough, throat, and airway swelling, making breathing difficult. Dexamethasone is a medication that helps to reduce swelling, making breathing easier for children. A standard dose of 0.6mg/kg is used in children. However, a lower amount (due to side effects of steroids in children) has been suggested. We will examine whether 25% less than the standard dose is equally effective in treating croup. Investigators will conduct a clinical study with the support of patients with lived experience (which, in this case, are the parents of the children) to better care for children with croup. If proven, this study can improve the outcome in children with croup.
This observational study aims to learn more about complicated infections treated by otorhinolaryngologists. The main questions to answer are: - What is the management of complicated sinonasal infections in Ljubljana, Slovenia, - What is the management of complicated ear and temporal bone infections in Ljubljana, Slovenia, - What is the management of complicated neck soft tissue infections in Ljubljana, Slovenia, - What is the management of complicated laryngeal infections in Ljubljana, Slovenia Participants will receive standard treatment according to the established evidence-based clinical practice.
The goal of the present randomised controlled clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of a 30-minute exposition to cold, atmospheric, outdoor air on the severity of croup symptoms with exposition to indoor room air in children with mild to moderate croup receiving a single dose of dexamethasone during winter croup outbreaks.
The investigator will issue a Patient Information Consent for the participant in the study. 1.Patients will be asked to complete the Reflux Symptom Index questionnaire. Clinical survey, medical history. 2. Objective methods for assessing the patient's condition: - examination of ENT organs. 3. Laboratory and instrumental research methods: Endoscopic laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy, pH-metry, acoustic voice analysis. 4.Sociological method. 5. Subjective methods for assessing the condition of the larynx. 6. Аnalysis of the received data
Most efficient system for airways controll during general anesthesia is oro-tracheal intubation, in order to allow mechanical ventilation and bronchial suction and to prevent gastric intake. However, in the period after exhumation, traumatism of tube placement causes in 21% to 72% of patients, sore throat (POST), generally associated hoarseness. The incidence of POST is influenced by numerous factors such as age, smoke history, duration of tube positioning maneuvers, diameter of the endotracheal tube, pressure present in the headset, duration of intubation. Although analgesics and systemically administered anti-inflammatories have been found to be effective, topical therapies based on the application of corticosteroids, NSAIDs and lidocaine are an interesting alternative because they are also effective, but devoid of the effects collateralises of systemic administration. The proposed methods for the prevention and treatment of POST in cardiac surgery patients, subjected to long-term interventions with consequent need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and therefore orotracheal intubation even in the post-operative period. The propose of trial is that the sub-glottal intake door can also be used for the peat administration of anti-inflammatory drugs in order to prevent pain caused by endotracheal intubation. This drug thus administered will directly reach the anatomical structures most involved in the genesis of post-intubation pain, that is, the vocal cords and the expected part of the trachea.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will compare the effectiveness of amitriptyline versus placebo (inactive medication) in treating chronic laryngitis.
The study will compare the effectiveness of amitriptyline versus placebo (inactive medication) in treating chronic laryngitis. At the baseline visit, subjects will be assigned at random to amitriptyline or placebo which they will take for 8 weeks. Subjects will be seen in the clinic at baseline and at 8 weeks. Improvement will be measured using standardized symptom scales, and a self-reported subjective improvement percentage.
The objective of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of meloxicam suspension 0.25 mg/kg/day once a day, versus diclofenac suspension 1 mg/kg/day twice a day or nimesulide suspension 4 mg/kg/day twice a day, after five days of treatment in patients with a diagnosis of acute, non-bacterial pharyngitis, pharyngotonsillitis or laryngitis
In this observational study insights regarding the tolerability and influence on the quality of life of the topical treatment Ectoin Mund- and Rachenspray compared to Emser Pastillen in patients with acute Pharyngitis/ Laryngitis under real life conditions shall be gained. Patients are treated with Ectoin Mund- & Rachenspray 1% or Emser Pastillen according to the demands of the physician and the instructions for use.
Title: Inter-rater reliability of the reflux finding score based on endoscopic laryngeal findings in the diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease Participants: Voluntary participants after invitation among members (a total of about 40 gastroenterologists) of Gangwon Branch of Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and an otorhinolaryngologist Primary endpoint: Interrater reliability (Kappa coefficient) on the sum of reflux finding score more than 7 points between an otorhinolaryngologist and gastroenterologists (7 points means the cut-off value for the diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease) Secondary endpoint: Agreement (%) on 8 items of reflux finding score for laryngopharygeal reflux among gastroenterologists
