Filter by:While most studies in the medical literature that indicate "music" as an intervention may recognize its impact and capacity to decrease pain perception, anxiety, and/or its role in the regulation of cardiac and respiratory function in ICU patients, no identifiable studies have implemented entrained live music therapy protocols into clinical trials. Music therapy treatment is a non-pharmacological intervention that is individually tailored to the patient's needs and focuses on the assessment and intervention of a specific music application that is provided by a certified music therapist. Entrained music therapy focuses on a dynamic interaction between the patient and music therapist in which the music therapist attempts to promote relaxation and comfort through the patient's identified Song of Kin (SOK). This study measures the effects of live music therapy entrained to the vital signs of adult patients on duration of mechanical ventilation.
Pulmonary transplantation (PT) is a therapeutic option now accepted in the management of selected patients who have reached the irreversible and terminal stage of their chronic respiratory insufficiency. Its main indications are: cystic fibrosis and other bronchial diseases, emphysema , interstitial lung diseases with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in the foreground, and severe pulmonary hypertension. The evocation of osteo-articular and musculotendinous pain symptoms in the aftermath of PT is frequent and very diversified. These complications are poorly codified and hinder the rehabilitation and early resumption of physical activity and sports. Few data are available on this subject in the literature. Following transplantation, improvements in respiratory function, quality of life, and exercise capacity are observed, with large inter-individual variations; Patients are encouraged to resume physical activity, initially as part of a rehabilitation exercise. Among the factors limiting exercise, some have been more widely studied, such as muscular deconditioning related to pre-existing chronic respiratory insufficiency , prolonged stay in intensive care, side effects of transplant-related treatments (corticosteroids and immunosuppressants). Pain is also a factor limiting the recovery of physical activity and quality of life. Pain related directly to thoracotomy surgery has been explored but there is little data available on musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this study is to better understand the musculoskeletal pain occurring in the aftermath of a lung transplantation. Conducting this study for a period of 1 year will allow you to move away from the immediate post-transplant time, and the pain associated with the transplant will no longer have any interference. The main objective of our study is to better know the prevalence of algic manifestations of the musculoskeletal system (osteo-articular, musculotendinous ...) occurring in the year following a TP, and may constitute a brake on the rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system. effort and recovery of physical activity or sport.
this study evaluates high flow oxygen therapy in addition to non invasive ventilation (NIV) to treat hypercapnic respiratory failure. Between sessions of NIV, half of participants will have high flow nasal cannula while the others will have standard low flow oxygen therapy.
This is a proof of concept, single center study for the donation of HCV-positive lungs to HCV negative recipient patients, with preemptive, interventional treatment with 8 weeks of commercially available DAA therapy to prevent HCV transmission upon transplantation.
The goal of this pilot is to evaluate a novel restraint device in 8 older mechanically ventilated patients to demonstrate that 1) the revised novel restraint prototype is safe and 2) a future randomized controlled trial (RCT) is feasible.
Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a potentially life-threatening procedure for critically ill patients and major severe complications such as severe hypoxia, cardiovascular collapse and cardiac arrest are common. Despite the high risk of the procedure, different interventions lack high-quality evidence and the investigators hypothesize that a heterogeneous practice among different centres and geographical areas may be found. The investigators designed a large international observational study aiming at prospectively collecting data on the current impact of ETI-related adverse events and current airway management practice in critically ill patients. Investigators will collect data on all consecutive in-hospital (intensive care unit, emergency department and wards) ETIs performed in adult critically patients.
This study is designed to test a proposed strategy for lung- and diaphragm-protective ventilation (LDPV) in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Ventilation and sedation will be titrated to evaluate whether it is feasible and safe within this patient population.
Background: Computer aided auscultation in the differentiation of pathologic (AHA class I) from no- or innocent murmurs (AHA class III) via artificial intelligence algorithms could be a useful tool to assist healthcare providers in identifying pathological heart murmurs and may avoid unnecessary referrals to medical specialists. Objective: Assess the quality of the artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that autonomously detects and classifies heart murmurs as either pathologic (AHA class I) or as no- or innocent (AHA class III). Hypothesis: The algorithm used in this study is able to analyze and identify pathologic heart murmurs (AHA class I) in an adult population with valve defects with a similar sensitivity compared to medical specialist. Methods: Each patient is auscultated and diagnosed independently by a medical specialist by means of standard auscultation. Auscultation findings are verified via gold-standard echocardiogram diagnosis. For each patient, a phonocardiogram (PCG) - a digital recording of the heart sounds - is acquired. The recordings are later analyzed using the AI algorithm. The algorithm results are compared to the findings of the medical professionals as well as to the echocardiogram findings.
Study Design: This study is a comparative, single-center study. This is a minimal risk study (as defined in 21 CFR Part 56) using a non-significant risk device (as defined in 21 CFR Part 812.3). A minimum of 60 subjects will be enrolled in the study. Subject participation will last approximately 1 hour.
Endotracheal intubation is a frequent procedure performed in neonates with respiratory distress. Clinicians use different methods to estimate the intubation insertion depth. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the two different methods (kilogram + 6 cm and nasal septum-tragus length (NTL) + 1 cm) used to determine the endotracheal intubation insertion depth.
