Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess hemodynamic effects of inspiratory muscle training during routinely performed right-heart catheterization.
Sleep-disordered breathing in children is characterized by recurrent events of partial or complete upper airway obstruction during sleep, resulting in disruption of normal gas exchange (intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia) and sleep fragmentation. The major symptom is snoring or noisy breathing. Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) is a wide spectrum of disorders that includes primary snoring, UARS and OSA. The main etiology for SDB in children is enlarged tonsils and adenoids and therefore the first line of treatment in pediatric SDB is adenotonsillectomy. The objectives of this study are: 1. To investigate the natural history of primary snoring 2. To investigate the effect of seasonality on SDB severity 3. To compare the effect of adenoidectomy to adenotonsillectomy in the treatment of SDB in children 4. To characterize the children referred for repeated PSG following adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy and the indications for second PSG evaluation.
The main objective is to show by a randomised controled therapeutic trial comparing in two parallel open arms ( 50 infants x 2 = 100 infants) that the technique IIF decreases the duration of non invasive respiratory support in the group treated by chest physiotherapy as compared to the control group. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the duration of oxygen dependence, the duration of hospitalisation and the proportional advent of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. These study will be conducted in patients less than 32 weeks post menstrual age, eutrophic, treated by non invasive respiratory support after weaning off from mechanical endotracheal ventilation benefitting form a social security system and for whom the appropriate parental authority are non opposed.
The purpose of the study is to measure markers of inflammatory and oxidative stress known to be associated with cardiovascular morbidity in snoring children. In addition, to measure markers of local inflammation and to evaluate the response to treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of sleep and breathing problems during sleep on memory, attention, and general well being (quality of life) in people with Parkinson Disease.
Phase IIa, single center, open-label, single-arm study, to evaluate the inspiration profile through the NEXThaler device in adult COPD patients with varying degrees of airflow limitation
Gastro-esophageal reflux and aspiration is a common problem in premature infants receiving mechanical ventilation. Pepsin measured in tracheal aspirate (TA) emerged as a specific marker for aspiration. The objective of this study is to examine if TA pepsin will change when ventilated premature infants are positioned in two different positions; on their back vs. on their right side.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether breathing in helium reduces indications of injury to the skeletal muscle seen in blood tests after knee replacement surgery. The ability to reduce the risk of skeletal muscle injury may help improve patient safety by providing protection to the area of the body having its blood supply interrupted during a particular surgery.
Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is an intervention used with success in the outpatient setting within the COPD population. Use of IMT is also theoretically possible during mechanical ventilation. This study will will assess the feasibility and safety of the study of IMT in the patient population.
Food residue in the stomach of patients scheduled to have surgery is considered a major risk factor for pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents. The resulting respiratory compromise after aspiration is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The risk of pulmonary aspiration is especially important in pregnant women, as they may often require surgery without having observed appropriate fasting. In pregnant patients scheduled for elective surgery, standard preoperative guidelines apply as the general non-pregnant surgical population (8-hour fasting of solid food and 2-hour fasting of clear fluids). A bedside ultrasound assessment of the status of the gastric content and volume would be of great value for the clinician. This technique has recently been shown very promising in fasted non-pregnant patients scheduled for elective surgery. Therefore, it is important to study its feasibility in the pregnant population scheduled for elective Cesarean Delivery. The investigators hypothesize that no residual solid contents will be found in the gastric sonography, and a small volume of gastric fluid will be observed in the antrum in both supine and right lateral decubitus.
