Filter by:During the induction period of general anesthesia, surgical patients are inevitably experienced a short period of apnea for endotracheal intubation or other airway manipulation. In order to minimize the risks of hypoxemia during the establishment of artificial airway, pure oxygen (FiO2=100%) is commonly applied to the patients throughout the preoxygenation and induction period. However, high concentration of oxygen therapy has been shown to result in hyperoxemia and substantial oxygen exposure during perioperative period or critical care. There is currently no clinical evidence indicating that preoxygenation with a lower oxygen partial pressure (such as FiO2=60%) during the induction of anesthesia increases the incidence of hypoxemia or other complications. The findings of this proposed clinical study may provide fundamental evidence for the use of different oxygen concentrations in clinical anesthesia during the induction period, and determine the effects of inspired oxygen concentrations on the general postoperative outcomes during general anesthesia.
This study evaluates the use and effects of supplementary oxygen in surgical and medical wards on patients admitted to a hospital in the capital region of Denmark. The population will be divided in to three groups according to their oxygenation status. The main outcome will be 30-day mortality, with secondary outcomes being Length of stay, 30-day admission to ICU, 30-day reoperations, 30-day readmission, and peak values within 30-days of C-reactive protein, S-Creatinine, Troponin.
The specific aims of the project are performing a pre-clinical study on a human model and evaluating the oxygenation and other status of human erythrocytes by spectrally-resolved third harmonic generation (srTHG) microscopy . By analyzing the partitioned third harmonic generation (THG) spectra of oxygenated and deoxygenated erythrocytes ex vivo, the investigators aim to provide a reference standard for quantifying oxygenation and molecular status in this project.
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 of the study is to assess the "FreeDom" innovative strategy (FreeO2 at Domicile) to reduce hospitalization duration in patients with COPD exacerbation. This strategy associates early hospital discharge, automated O2 flow weaning with FreeO2 system, telemedicine and tele-rehabilitation. The main hypothesis of this study is that the FreeDom strategy will reduce the number of hospitalization day by 50 percent at day 30.
Alveolar recruitment maneuver had been reported of improving arterial oxygenation and pulmonary mechanics and reduce the pulmonary complications. Investigator designed this study for comparision of incidence of pulmonary complications after applying alveolar recruitment maneuver during peumoperitoenum for laparoscopic surgery.
Upon suffering a concussion, a neurometabolic cascade including an increase in glucose and oxygen demand occurs for up to 48 hours post-insult.5 This period of increased glucose and oxygen demand is coupled with a period of hyperperfusion and decreased cerebral blood flow. 6-9 Cryotherapy in the musculoskeletal system has been shown to decrease tissue temperature, blood flow, oxygen and metabolic demands.10-17 Cryotherapy following moderate or severe traumatic brain injury has been demonstrated to decrease intracranial metabolic processes and oxygenation consumption.18-23 Although the benefits of cryotherapy have been established in moderate-severe TBI, the effects of superficial cranial cooling in individuals with and without concussion are unknown. The purpose of this randomized control trial is to evaluate the effects of superficial cryotherapy on cerebral blood flow and cognitive function in healthy, recreationally active young adults.
This is a validation study of a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) device designed to measure the cerebral tissue oxygen saturation.

The clinical diagnosis of sleep apnea is difficult among ESRD patients since the characteristic clinical features of sleep apnea may be absent and since sleep-related symptoms, such as fatigue and sleepiness, may be attributed to kidney failure. However, the evaluation of patients with possible sleep apnea is the same among ESRD patients as in the general population.
