NCT ID: NCT03969147 Recruiting - Airway Obstruction Clinical Trials

Investigation of a Novel Oropharyngeal Airway: The ManMaxAirway

Start date: May 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Guedel pattern or oropharyngeal airways (OPA) maintain an open oral airway in unconscious or semi-conscious patients by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis, but OPA placement carries a risk of inducing gag reflex and vomiting. Although various sizes are available, the design of the OPA has undergone little change since its introduction in the 1920s. The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of a novel airway device, the ManMaxAirway (MMA), as an alternative to the OPA.

NCT ID: NCT03967639 Active, not recruiting - Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trials

Seasonal Trends of Respiratory Morbidity in Diabetic Patients

Start date: February 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a significant burden on the patients and the health care system. The increasing number of surgery performed in elderly population results in an increased number of perioperative T2DM-related adverse effects. T2DM has a prevalence of 30-40% in a population undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Cardiac surgery, especially cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is also known to deteriorate respiratory mechanics. Therefore, the study is aimed at a retrospective analysis of seasonal trends in respiratory consequences of T2DM, i.e.: i: distribution of patients with and without T2DM presenting for elective cardiac surgery during the two-year examination period; ii: characterization of respiratory co-morbidities in the patients, iii: exploring whether the respiratory mechanics at presentation and those caused by cardiac surgery exhibit different trends in T2DM and control patients.

NCT ID: NCT03946137 Completed - Child Clinical Trials

Chest Therapy and Postural Education in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Start date: September 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

INTRODUCTION: Neurological Chronic disease leads to motor disability and associated pathologies. Numerous studies agree that the lack of prevention and treatment in pulmonary health in children with disabilities results in increased morbidity and mortality, increased medical care and costs in care, and, for patients and their caregivers, decrease in their quality of life OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to assess if children with chronic neurological disease and respiratory disease benefit from airway clearance techniques and postural hygiene workshops to optimize their respiratory status and quality of life. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Multicenter experimental study before-after with intervention of chest therapy and workshops of postural hygiene in 30 children from 0 to 6 years with chronic neurological affectation and respiratory complications. Respiratory clinical variables, volume of expectorated secretions, PedsQL pediatric quality of life questionnaires were evaluated and the number of exacerbations due to respiratory complications was recorded.

NCT ID: NCT03852147 Completed - Clinical trials for Post-Op Complication

Individualized Hemodynamic Optimization by Indirect Measurement of the Respiratory Quotient in Major Surgery: Prospective Randomized Multicentre Open-Label Study (OPHIQUE) Individualized Optimization by Indirect Measurement of the Respiratory Quotient

OPHIQUE
Start date: December 26, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The measurement of the inspired / expired fractions in O2 and CO2 is part of the daily monitoring of the intubated-ventilated patient in the operating theater. The ratio of VCO2 to VO2 (respiratory quotient (RQ)) is a non-invasive indirect measure of anaerobic metabolism of the patient, and an indirect reflection of tissue perfusion. We hypothesize that a hemodynamic optimization in major surgery individualized by non-invasive continuous measurement of the RQ would optimize TaO2 more specifically by informing us about the installation of a VO2 dependence, and therefore of an anaerobic metabolism. Patients are randomized in 2 groups : Control group: hemodynamic management of patients is done according to usual practices by maintenance of blood pressure by norepinephrine as well as optimization of Systolic Voume (SV) by vascular filling and use of dobutamine if necessary. Experimental group: perioperative hemodynamic management is based on an algorithm that includes RQ measurement and includes volume expansion, norepinephrine, FiO2 enhancement, RBC transfusion and dobutamine. Primary and secondary outcomes are recorded 1,2,7 and 30 days after the surgery.

NCT ID: NCT03786497 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Congenital Heart Disease

Protecting Brains and Saving Futures - the PBSF Protocol

PBSF
Start date: January 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Background: Multiple neonatal disorders are associated with risks of neurological injury. Thus, management of these infants should involve a coordinated approach to permit early diagnosis with improved clinical care. Such initiative involves the use of standardized protocols, continuous and specialized brain monitoring with electroencephalography (EEG), amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG) and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), neuroimaging and training. Brazil is a very large country with disparities in health care assessment; some neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are not well structured and trained to provide adequate neurocritical care. However, the development and implementation of these neurocritical care units requires high expertise and significant investment of time, manpower and equipment. In order to reduce the existing gap, a unique advanced telemedicine model of neurocritical care called Protecting Brains and Saving Futures (PBSF) protocol was developed and implemented in some Brazilian NICUs. Methods: A prospective observational cohort study will be conducted in 20 Brazilian NICUs that have adopted the PBSF protocol. All infants receiving the protocol during January 2021 to December 2023 will be eligible. Ethical approval will be obtained from the participating institutions. The primary objective is to describe the use of the PBSF protocol and clinical outcomes, by center and over a 3 years period. The use of the PBSF protocol will be measured by quantification of neuromonitoring, neuroimaging exams and sub-specialties consultation. Clinical outcomes of interest after the protocol implementation are length of hospital stay, detection of EEG seizures during hospitalization, use of anticonvulsants, inotropes, and fluid resuscitation, death before hospital discharge, and referral of patients to high-risk infant follow-up. These data will be also compared between infants with primarily neurologic and primarily clinical diagnosis. Discussion: The implementation of the PBSF protocol may provide adequate remote neurocritical care in high-risk infants with optimization of clinical management and improved outcomes. Data from this large, prospective, multicenter study are essential to determine whether neonatal neurocritical units can improve outcomes. Finally, it may offer the necessary framework for larger scale implementation and help in the development of studies of remote neuromonitoring.

NCT ID: NCT03665259 Terminated - Anesthesia Clinical Trials

Lower Inspiratory Oxygen Fraction for Preoxygenation

Start date: November 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT03533400 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Spinal Cord Injuries

Effectiveness of Jamboxx Respiratory Therapy Device: Study 1

Start date: December 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Effectiveness of the Jamboxx Respiratory Therapy Device in Treatment of Patients with Decreased Respiratory Function is a proposal for investigation of the application of gaming to improving respiratory health. The Jamboxx device combines gaming with traditional incentive spirometry to provide users with a fun experience to keep them engaged in their respiratory therapy routine. The device allows users to play a series of mini-games that walk them through their routines. The Jamboxx also records airflow and lung parameters with an external mouthpiece attachment to provide users with real time feedback, and helps to assess increases or decreases in relative lung function over time. The Jamboxx has the potential to significantly impact the field of respiratory therapy by being one of the first gaming devices for patient therapy, and the first respiratory therapy gaming device that is accessible to users with limited mobility. Jamboxx provides a fun and engaging, low cost alternative to the traditional therapy techniques used and aims to improve patient compliance.
