Filter by:The primary aim is to test whether preoperative asepsis with 5% nasal povidone iodine versus no preoperative asepsis with 5% nasal povidone iodine reduces proximal and distal SARS-CoV-2 transmission in operating rooms among patients who are acutely infected with SARS-CoV-2. The secondary aim is to test viral infectivity.
This observational clinical trial is designed to confirm whether RESP™ Biosensor could be deployed to support clinical decision making in challenging pediatric cases, minimize clinician-to-clinician variability in lung sound interpretation, obviate the need to disrupt change of shift or chart rounds with physicians, and create a durable archive of the patient's lung sounds for longitudinal comparison within or across hospitalizations.
This study is designed to test the efficacy and safety of combinations of two well-understood agents - famotidine and celecoxib in patients hospitalized with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 (based on World Health Organization [WHO] Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement). Both famotidine and celecoxib separately demonstrate clinical activity in mitigating COVID-19 disease symptoms or severity, and appear to have separate and complementary mechanisms of action.
The objective of the present study is to describe the negative impact on oral and gut microbiota of a severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICU). The study would like to compare their microbiota to the microbiota of ICU patients, non-infected by the SARS-CoV-2.
The objective of this study is to assess the inoculation-related symptoms and long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with lung cancer or pulmonary nodules in a real-world setting. The investigators aim to provide high-quality evidence for the COVID-19 vaccines in cancer/pre-cancer patients, and to address their concern about the safety profile of the newly developed vaccines.
This is an open label controlled household-randomised trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of RESP301 alongside standard of care ("SOC") versus SOC alone.
The purpose of this open label, 2-phase, study is to obtain information on the safety of 80 ppm and the safety and efficacy of 150 ppm Nitric Oxide given in addition to the standard of care of patients with COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2.
The study aims to investigate the impact of pharmacist delivered interventions on hospice patients quality metric scores.
The emerging field of stem cell therapy holds promise of treating a variety of diseases. Especially the mesenchymal stromal cells from bone marrow or adipose tissue (ASCs) have proven their potential for regenerative therapy in patients with ischemic heart disease. Both of these cell types have putative immunomodulatory properties, as they have demonstrated their ability to evade recognition and actively suppress the immune system. This knowledge is transferred into studies with COVID-19 patients having severe pulmonary dysfunction, to modify the virus induced immunological and inflammatory activity involved in the progression of disease often leading to prolonged ICU stay and in some occasion's death. We will conduct a clinical trial in which patients with COVID-19 and severe pulmonary symptoms will be randomized to either placebo or treatment with allogeneic CSCC_ASCs from adipose tissue. The aim is to assess the impact of CSCC_ASCs on the activated immune system and clinical efficacy on pulmonary function. The perspective is that this new information can be of pivotal importance and potentially be a paradigm shift for the clinical problems and severe outcome seen in some patients with severe COVID-19 and other severe diseases with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
The weaning of mechanical ventilation is difficult period. This period is particularly difficult for patient with obstructive chronic respiratory disease and a long mechanical ventilation is associated with an increased risk of infectious complication, cardiac dysfunction, muscular weakness or barotromatism. No guideline is available on the ventilator mode to use during the night. In weaning period, some studies have demonstrated that nocturnal control ventilation during the weaning period improved the quality and the quantity of sleep. The hypothesis is that use of nocturnal controlled mechanical ventilation could decrease the weaning period duration and the ventilation weaning failure because of a sleep improvement. The main objective is to compare mechanical ventilation weaning period duration according to the nocturnal ventilator mode (pressure controlled ventilation versus pressure support ventilation) in patients with an obstructive respiratory disease. A secondary objective is to evaluate the rate of weaning failure after the first extubation according to the nocturnal ventilator mode and to evaluate the sleep during the weaning period according to the nocturnal ventilator mode.
