Filter by:Pediatric epidural anesthesia has emerged as a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique for providing intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in thoracic and abdominal surgery. The loss of resistance technique is the gold standard for the placement of the epidural. The VPC (visual pressure control) syringes developed by PAJUNK enable direct visualization of the introduction of the needle into the epidural space.
A 3-year cluster randomized controlled trial of the impact of a quality improvement and clinical decision support package versus usual care for patients with modifiable high-risk chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with or without a current diagnosis.
The purpose of the study is to prove the clinical superiority of respiratory rehabilitation software "Redpill Breath" and evaluate the clinical improvement effect by 6-minute walk test of the software, compared to the manual rehabilitation management for those who need respiratory rehabilitation(COPD, Asthma, Lung Cancer, etc.)
72 patients with mild to moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were planned to be enrolled in this study and then treated with olodaterol combined with thiotropium bromide, and thiotropium bromide, respectively, for 52 weeks. To assess the effect of the test drug on small airway remodeling in patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ARO-MUC5AC in normal healthy volunteers (NHVs), patients with moderate-to-severe asthma and patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In part 1 NHVs will receive a single dose of ARO-MUC5AC or placebo. In part 2 of the study, NHVs, adult patients with asthma, and adult patients with COPD will receive 3 doses of ARO-MUC5AC or placebo.
TQC3721 suspension for inhalation is a PDE3/4 inhibitor developed by Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co., LTD., which can simultaneously achieve bronchial smooth muscle relaxation and anti-inflammatory effects. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-parallel, phase II trial of the efficacy and safety of inhaled TQC3721 suspension/placebo at different doses in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Objective To evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of TQC3721 inhalation suspension in the treatment of moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
The researchers have worked to create consensus recommendations among national efforts to help with the transition and coordination of care for preterm infants with lung disease around discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit to home. This study looks to evaluate implementation of the recommendations at Boston Children's Hospital and referring NICU's (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Brigham and Women's Hospital). Specifically, the research team will be looking at follow-up rates, healthcare utilization, and parental satisfaction/feedback with implementation of these guidelines.
Thoracic surgery is now common and as other surgeries evolution of minimally invasive techniques is employed. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) produces little scar but may produce severe pain that may affect the pulmonary function. Many procedure was developed like intercostal nerve block which require injections at multiple levels, Insertion of local anaesthetic (LA) in the surgical drain but that was dangerous due to the large amount of LA and not sufficient to completely eliminate pain. Bupvicaine nebulization, through surgical port which won't make any other wound, thought to be sufficient because Nebulization will enable us better distribution and less amounts of LA. Bupvicaine is local anaesthetic amide group that works by blocking sodium channels thus preventing progression of action potential.
Shortness of breath (dyspnea) during exercise is a major source of distress and is a commonly reported symptom in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). A recent drug treatment option known as Trikafta, which contains elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor, may be used in patients with CF to help improve lung health. However, the effects of this combination therapy on dyspnea and exercise performance, a known predictor of survival in CF, are not clear. The investigators aim to understand the effects of Trikafta on these symptoms and to gain new insight into the potential health improvements in CF from using this treatment option.
