Filter by:The purpose of this research is to evaluate the ability of a new bronchoscope adapter called "leak-free adapter" to limit the amount of air leaking out to the operating room (OR) from the ventilator in intubated patients who undergo bronchoscopy.
The randomized controlled trial will involve 30 participants, with Group A receiving GPRM and ACBT, while Group B follows the conventional COPD model that includes ACBT only.Assessments of heart rate, physical fitness, and quality of life will contribute to a nuanced understanding of joint function, informing future COPD treatment paradigms.
Pneumopathy is the leading cause of death from infectious disease in the elderly. Prior to 2021, the recommended duration of antibiotic therapy for pneumonia, in adults, was 7 days. Two theses have shown that these recommendations were poorly applied in geriatric services. Indeed, the duration of treatment exceeded 7 days, and less than 30% of antibiotic antibiotic treatments were re-evaluated at 72 hours. In 2021, the SPLIF ( published new recommendations reducing this duration to 5 days in the event of clinical improvement observed on the 3rd day of treatment. These new recommendations are based on studies, in which the average age of participants was 65 years. However, the average age of patients in geriatric short-stay departments is 84.7 years. In addition, the geriatric population is characterized by immunosenescence, pulmonary vulnerability and undernutrition, raising questions about the validity of these recommendations in the geriatric population. The investigators offer a monocentric, retrospective, observational study of the geriatric hospital Casanova to assess the application of SPLIF recommendations in the geriatric population.
The aim of this study is to determine posture and posture related factors in patients with restrictive and obstructive lung disease.
The study includes adult patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with interstitial lung disease (ILD) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nintedanib plus tocilizumab combination therapy compared to standard therapy (methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil) for 56 weeks.
Exercise intolerance and sleeping problems are among the most common symptoms experienced by patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is associated with lung dynamic hyperinflation (DH). There was evidence that positive expiratory pressure (PEP), which less costly devices could offer, could reduce DH. A positive expiratory pressure device improved COPD-related symptoms in more than 70% of patients with COPD. PEP buddy is an adjunct to current COPD therapies, such as inhalers and pulmonary rehabilitation. It provides a tool for self-management and breathing re-training, reducing dyspnea and improving quality of life.
It is unknown whether individuals with COPD exhibit abnormal alveolar-capillary breaching during exercise, and whether this contributes to exertional dyspnoea. The aim of this study is to investigate whether individuals with COPD exhibit an abnormal increase in alveolar-capillary breaching during exertion, as indicated by an increase alveolar-capillary permeability with a concomitantly exacerbated increase in lung tissue mass.
The objective of this feasibility study is to evaluate continuous temperature monitoring, oxygen (O2) concentration and ventilation with positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) to keep lungs cooled at 4-8 degrees Celsius, with continuous O2 concentration of 100% and inflated with a PEEP of 8-10 during the entire cold ischemic period.
This study will evaluate the effect of triple ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy with BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 μg on cardiopulmonary outcomes relative to LAMA/LABA therapy with GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 μg in a population with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk.
Inclusion criteria A)Outpatients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or ILD (interstitial lung disease) from department of Chest medicine in Taichung Veterans General Hospital, judged by the doctor that they do not need hospitalization or emergent treatment. B) Patients who agree to provide the ID card number to the research team for usage as a link to the National Health Insurance research database and Health bank to explore the continuity of care and the use of medical resources
