Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to identify the association between FSTL1 elevation and acute lung injury (ALI) after pediatric liver transplantation.The main questions it aims to answer what the risk factors are for ALI in children and to evaluate the predictive value for the development of ALI.Participants will be divided into non-ALI group and ALI group according to whether they had ALI in a week after liver transplantation.Researchers will compare the difference between the two groups and use multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen the risk factors of ALI, and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of risk factors.
The goal of this Randomized Clinical trial is to to investigate if the use of Air Pressure Release Ventilation in morbidly obese patients undergoing open heart surgery will improve post operative pulmonary outcomes 60 Patients will be randomized into two groups according to the mode of ventilation used into: Group A: airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) group (30 Patients) Group B: Standard (control) group (30 Patients) Post-operatively, Patients will be ventilated with conventional Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) volume control mode
Elective spine surgery is associated with a high incidence of perioperative complications, including peri- and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), which occur in nearly 4% of patients. More than 40% of all deaths after elective spine surgery are attributed to PPCs. However, whether it influences risk of other PPCs is unclear.
To gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of intraoperative hypocapnia, in particular the associations of intraoperative hypocapnia with patient demographics, ventilator characteristics, and perioperative complications we will perform an individual patient-level meta-analysis of two recent randomized clinical trials of intraoperative ventilation, the 'PROtective Ventilation using High versus LOw PEEP trial' (PROVHILO), and the 'Protective intraoperative ventilation with higher versus lower levels of positive end-expiratory pressure in obese patients trial' (PROBESE).
Patients undergoing surgery inside their abdomen, with no serious heart or lung diseases, will have a lung ultrasound exam before and after surgery. The patient respiratory status in the post-operative unit and the surgical ward will be monitored for complications after surgery
For patients undergoing colorectal surgery, post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are common. PPCs are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, as well as prolonged hospital stays and healthcare costs. Pulmonary exercise in the pre-operative setting is thought to improve pulmonary fitness and decrease incidence of PPCs. Use of an oscillating positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) device sees patients improve their respiratory fitness through prescribed usage of a handheld instrument that exercises pulmonary muscles while breathing. Here, the investigators propose a pilot randomized-controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the feasibility of a large scale study that would examine the effect of preoperative OPEP device exercises in preventing PPCs for patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery.
The Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic is currently a priority for health services worldwide. Unlike the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) epidemic in 2012, the COVID-19 shows specific alterations in the white blood cell count, accentuated in severe cases, and with respiratory failure. Among the most relevant data are both lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, and eosinopenia. The Neutrophil Lymphocyte Index has been beneficial in the evaluation of infectious respiratory processes, showing a sensitivity similar to scales such as CURB65 (Confusion, Uremia, Respiratory rate, BP, age ≥ 65 years). Because COVID-19 infection shows alterations in the blood cell ratio, these indices may be useful in evaluating patients with COVID-19 infection.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is a modality that is increasingly utilized to treat various haematological disorders with a varying degree of success. From 2006 to 2019 use of HSCT worldwide has increased from 50,417 to an estimated 1.5 million. Disease relapse, graft versus host disease (GVHD) and infections are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with HSCT. Pulmonary complications, in particular, are common in patients with HSCT, and the diagnostic approach and management of these complications remain a challenge. FOB is one of the standard and least invasive diagnostic modality for these patients. However, the diagnostic yield and change in clinical decision making in those studies have been variable. Furthermore, all these studies were retrospective, with one exception. The investigators designed an observational study to understand the rate of change in clinical decision making following Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB). The investigators also looked at the yield of FOB and characteristics associated with a positive diagnostic yield.
The term postoperative pulmonary complication is the development of any complications affecting the respiratory system after anesthetic and surgery procedures. The ARISCAT risk assessment score is a seven-variable regression model that divides patients into low, moderate, and high-risk groups. In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the ARISCAT risk scoring index in predicting postoperative pulmonary complication development in patients scheduled for major abdominal cancer surgery.
This study is a prospective observer blinded, central randomization controlled, multi-center clinical trial to assess the relationship between intraoperative FiO2 and postoperative pulmonary complications with lung injury.
