Filter by:After resuscitation from Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) patients experience Post Cardiac Arrest Syndrome due to ischemia and reperfusion injury. It consists of systemic inflammation, cerebral and myocardial dysfunction, and the condition that led to the arrest. Most OHCA patients will receive critical care intubated in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Despite this ~50% die; mainly due to brain injury. Several targets can be considered for improving outcomes. To dampen systemic inflammation and optimize cerebral perfusion seem important. Deep sedation has been required for targeted temperature management (TTM) but may also be brain protective. After end of sedation, many patients have some cerebral dysfunction that may facilitate delirium. The aim of this trial is therefore to improve treatment of comatose OHCA patients by evaluating 4 interventions in a factorial design addressing each of these targets in a randomized clinical trial: 1. Systemic inflammation: Anti-inflammatory treatment with high dose steroids (dexamethasone) or placebo. 2. Cerebral perfusion: Backrest elevation during sedation at 5 or 35 degrees. 3. Duration of sedation: Early wakeup call and potential extubation at ≤6 hours after admission or later as current standard practice at 28-36 hours. 4. Delirium: Prophylactic treatment with anti-psychotic medication (olanzapine) or placebo. The trial is designed as a phase III trial, randomizing 1000 patients at Danish cardiac arrest centers. The primary endpoint is 90 days all-cause mortality for the interventions targeting systemic inflammation and cerebral perfusion, while it is days alive outside of hospital within 30 days for the interventions concerning duration of sedation and delirium. The trial has potential to improve outcomes for comatose OHCA patients - a group with a grave prognosis with currently only limited evidence-based treatments.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a diffuse inflammation of the lungs that occurs in a variety of diseases. According to the Berlin definition, ARDS is characterized by diffuse lung damage in patients with predisposing factors. Understanding the physiology of ARDS has led to improved ventilatory management, which must be protective to ensure adequate oxygenation and CO2 clearance. Prone position (PP) is a technique that can reduce mortality in patients with severe ARDS. PP results in a more homogeneous distribution of pulmonary stress and strain, helping to protect the lung against ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). It also increases the PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) ratio, improves the pulmonary ventilation-perfusion ratio, decreases PaCO2 and promotes ventilation of the dorsal lung regions. This technique should be offered to all patients with severe ARDS for 16 consecutive hours, to improve survival and weaning success from mechanical ventilation. However, PP has adverse effects. A meta-analysis showed an increased risk of pressure sores, possibly linked to generalized acute inflammation associated with significant cytokine discharge and diffuse lesions of the vascular endothelium. PP also increased the risk of obstruction and displacement of the endotracheal tube. Final positioning in PP, (i.e., the position imposed on the patient for the duration of the PP session) varies from one ICU to another, and is rarely described in scientific articles. There are two main variants: 1. prone , with arms alongside the body 2. prone, swimmer's position The aim of our study is to show that the "swimmer" PP reduces the occurrence of stage 3 or higher pressure sores, compared with the "arms alongside the body" PP (standard care) at Day 28 post inclusion.
Subacromial pain syndrome is one of the most common musculoskeletal health conditions, causing decreased of range of motion, loss of muscle strength and disability in the shoulder region. It has been proposed that dynamic humeral centering exercises could contribute to overcome these disorders, through the modification of the dimensions of the subacromial space, however, there is no consensus on its effectiveness nor direct variables that account for its efficacy. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine the effects of a dynamic humeral centering exercise program on the functionality and disability of patients with subacromial pain syndrome.The effects of the dynamic humeral head exercises program, as well as the objective description of factors and variables associated with subacromial pain syndrome, will also allow rehabilitation science professionals to aim their interventions according to the knowledge of direct variables, which will allow objective follow-up of interventions on subacromial pain syndrome diagnosed patients.
The study is designed to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and transformation within the human body of INV-202 investigational drug in the treatment of adult participants with obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Evaluation of the short- and medium-term effect of a yoga intervention in addition to routine care compared to health education in addition to routine care on fatigue in patients with post covid syndrome.
The study will enroll 200 adults ages 18-60 admitted to the hospital with severe open or closed fractures of the proximal tibia or tibial shaft at risk for ACS. Participants will be randomized to either treatment with tissue ultrafiltration (TUF) catheters (n=100) or to a control group (n=100). All patients will receive continuous pressure monitoring of the anterior compartment of their leg. Both groups will receive comprehensive clinical evaluation and will be treated according to the standard-of-care regarding management of their underlying injury and diagnosis of ACS as practiced by their treating surgeon. In addition, patients randomized to the experimental arm will have three TUF catheters placed in the anterior muscle compartment of the injured limb. The TUF catheters will be connected to a closed suction drain and will remove interstitial fluid from the muscle. All patients will be followed at 6 months following initial hospital discharge. This visit will include a clinical evaluation of complications, hospital admission and emergency room visits, wound and fracture healing, infection, muscle sensory and function exam and patient reported outcome
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the safety, tolerability, and efficacy in study intervention, MatriPlax, in subjects with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). MatriPlax contains placenta choriodecidual membrane-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (pcMSCs). Participants will receive two doses of MatriPlax on Day 1 and Day 4 and conduct efficacy and safety evaluations until 12 months after treatment or withdrawal from the study.
To evaluate the validity of lung ultrasound compared to CT chest and chest radiograph for diagnosis of ARDS and prediction of successful weaning from mechanical ventilation in those patients compared to traditional methods.
