Filter by:Critically ill patients may need support for breathing by means of intubation, which is placement of a breathing tube into the windpipe. Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is a method commonly used and is performed by administering medications to induce coma and muscle paralysis, followed by intubation to allow the ventilator to provide oxygen into the lungs. This procedure may be filled with potential complications. During RSI, the patient stops spontaneous breathing after medically induced muscle paralysis occurs. Adequate oxygenation before and during paralysis is crucial to increase the reserves and prolong the time that oxygen levels in the blood remain above 90%, called the safe apnoea period. If the oxygen reserves are insufficient, the blood oxygen level will drop and can lead to permanent brain damage or even death. This study aims to explore if delivering high-flow humidified oxygen at 60L/min via the nostrils would be superior to current methods of mask ventilation at 15L/min and nasal cannula at 15L/min, before and during paralysis respectively. If successful, this new method would allow for a longer safe apnoeic period and increase the chances for doctors to perform intubation successfully without the blood oxygen dropping below 90%.
Scoliosis is the abnormality of the spine with direct effects on the shape and mechanics of the thoracic cage. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most common 3-dimensional deformity of the spine which can potentially affect respiratory function, exercise capacity as well as the performance of inspiratory and expiratory muscles. During growth morphological changes of thoracic cage affects the pulmonary tissues and functions. Respiratory functions shows negative changes due to Cobb angle, curve localization, number of vertebra and onset age in patient with scoliosis. Exercise approaches include respiratory training program and aim to improve respiratory functions.It is reported that respiratory muscle weakness is a potent contributor to pulmonary impairment in mild, moderate, and severe forms of scoliosis. Studies showed that exercise training and respiratory exercises may improve respiratory function and exercise capacity in patients with AIS. Thus the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, respiratory function and functional capacity in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effective of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory function, exercise capacity, physical activity and quality of life.
A Dose Escalating Study of PRS-060 Administered by Oral Inhalation or IV Infusion in Healthy Subjects
The training of the respiratory muscles seems to be fundamental in people who require a high physical demand. There is abundant scientific evidence that relates the respiratory variables and the limitation to exercise. The published studies are athletics and cycling, however it is scarce in football. Objective. To assess the effects of inspiratory muscle training on lung function and sports performance in soccer players.
This study aims to discover more about radiation techniques for people treated for left-sided breast cancer that minimizes exposure to the heart, as noted by mean heart dose.
It is extensively reported in the literature that patients with chronic obstructive lung disease may have impairments in balance and postural control which further increase the disease burden. Mechanisms related to these impairments include, but are not limited to increased work of breathing, diaphragm weakness, peripheral muscle weakness and systemic inflammation. Since the similar symptoms are reported for the children with cystic fibrosis, it is hypothesized that balance and postural control may also be compromised in these patients. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is shown to improve diaphragm strength and pulmonary function. Considering the relation between diaphragm which is one of the core muscles, and balance, IMT may also have an impact on postural control and balance alongside the standard clinical parameters such as respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function and functional capacity in these patients. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training and conventional chest physiotherapy on postural stability, balance, pulmonary function and functional capacity in children with cystic fibrosis.
The hospitalization for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) impairs the physical functioning and functional capacity, but aerobic physical training and, more recently, inspiratory muscle training, have shown benefits to patients' health submitted to this intervention. However, is not known the effect of aerobic physical training combined with inspiratory muscle training in hospitalized patients for HSCT. The purpose of the study will be verify the safety, feasibility and effects of the training association.
The main purpose of this open randomized, ex-vivo comparative study, is to assess and to compare the inhalable dose of inhaled corticosteroid collected through a nasal filter and a mouth filter located in a partitioned face mask and delivered to an infant with asthma via a Tipshaler® holding chamber
The aim of the current study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Salmeterol/Fluticasone 50/500 mcg Inhalation Powder treatment administered via Capsair twice daily and original product Seretide Diskus 500 mcg Inhalation Powder treatment twice daily in patients with moderate-severe COPD. Spirometric measurements will be performed at 12 different time points at pre-treatment and post-treatment (5. min, 15. min, 30. min, 1. hr, 2. hr, 3.hr, 4.hr, 6.hr, 8.hr, 10.hr and 12.hr) during the treatment visits of 11-weeks study period.
