Filter by:The purpose of the study is to compare the efficiency and biocompatibility of citrate and heparin anticoagulation during hemodialysis with medium cut-off polyarylethersulphone-polyvinylpirrolidone membrane (Theranova®).
The primary objectives of the BiPhox-Trial are to demonstrate, that the use of Biphozyl® as a replacement fluid in adult critically ill acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, results in a lower rate of pH excursions and of bicarbonate (HCO3-) excursions compared to the use of Phoxilium® during the studied continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) interval with regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA). The secondary objectives of the BiPhox-Trial are to evaluate the time to pH level normalization and the HCO3- substitution rates after initiation of CVVH treatment. Further, to demonstrate that the use of Biphozyl® as a replacement fluid in adult critically ill AKI patients, results in a more stable acid-base-status as well as improved respiratory situation due to lower intracorporeal HCO3- and carbon dioxide levels compared to the use of Phoxilium® during the studied CVVH interval with RCA.
Anticoagulants are a leading cause of acute injury from adverse drug events, leading to ~20,000 serious injuries reported to the Food and Drug Administration per year and more than 220,000 emergency department visits annually. Therefore, we propose to implement a health information technology (HIT) population management tool at two distinct anticoagulation clinics that will allow the care team to assign and track tasks essential for timely patient monitoring. We will examine its effect on anticoagulation management outcomes through a randomized trial, hypothesizing that such interventions can be effective as well as cost-effective strategies to improve patient safety in the context of anticoagulation management services.
For decades, vitamin K antagonists are the main oral anticoagulants used for primary and secondary prevention of arterial and venous thromboembolic events. Both observational and randomized controlled trials have confirmed an outstanding outcome (the percentage of time in the therapeutic range-TTR, effectiveness and safety) in patients received anticoagulation management provided by pharmacists (AMPP) in comparing with usual physician care. However, at present, pharmacist-managed anticoagulation services are still not popular in developing countries. In addition, there are few studies evaluating the patient outcomes with the AMPP model in Vietnam. Above all, it is important to explore whether AMPP is superior to other usual models in the improvement of effectiveness and safety.
Effective patient education improves health literacy and engagement thus improving long-term health outcomes. Health literacy is imperative to make informed health decisions and relies on the ability to obtain, process and understand health information; and is the cornerstone of safe health management. It is necessary to evaluate educational initiatives to determine their effectiveness in knowledge translation. A more effective way to provide patient education is to utilize media technology. Current education styles do not teach patients in the best way as they are not consistent with how people of all ages currently learn (through technology). In addition, patient teaching most commonly occurs during highly stressful times like hospital visits with new diagnoses. Current patient educational methods are costly given the amount of health provider time required. Electronic KITE teaching modules are infographic visual representations that present information quickly and clearly, integrating words and graphics to tell a story to reveal information. Infographic presentations are tools which facilitate self-directed learning with understandable, accessible information presented in an engaging way with an aim to enhance learning for children and their families. Patients are able to learn at a pace consistent with their learning style to facilitate knowledge development and health literacy.
The healthcare system in Sweden is publicly funded and aims to provide equal access to care irrespective of socioeconomic status. This includes ensuring equity in drug treatment. Socioeconomic disparities have been shown to influence patient management and health outcomes in certain Swedish populations. The Swedish Board of Health and Welfare has stated that the prescription of new drugs, which are more expensive than generic standard of care drugs, might be influenced by patients' socioeconomic status. To evaluate the association between socioeconomic factors and use of a DOAC (rivaroxaban, dabigatran, or apixaban) or standard of care (warfarin) in patients with NVAF in Sweden.
This study evaluate thermal ALD (T-ALD) and plasma-enhance ALD (PE-ALD) processes modified cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) tubing to investigate anticoagulation properties.
Introduction: The ambulatory care pharmacist service is a vision that is supported by several national pharmacy associations and expected by many clinical environments. However, pharmacists practicing in such settings often lack the data to demonstrate their value for the services they provide. Consequently, clinical services provided by pharmacists are not viewed as a billable expense and reimbursements are bundled with drug dispensing. Thus, if a pharmacy service is to sustain for the long-term, it is imperative to develop a value model to support monetary compensation for the cognitive services provided. Background and Significance: Anticoagulation with warfarin is a high risk therapy involving complex dosing, monitoring, and ensuring adherence to outpatient therapy. Monitoring anticoagulation intensity utilizing the prothrombin time (PT) and the international normalized ratio (INR) is used to determine the effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy. The proportion of time the INR is within the therapeutic range (TTR) is considered a surrogate measure of anticoagulation control and is associated with lower rates of major bleeds and thromboembolism. Pharmacist managed anticoagulation clinics eliminate the waiting period between lab work from an external facility and decisions from physicians. Pharmacists practicing in anticoagulation clinics with point-of-care INR testing usually practice under a collaborative agreement, which allows them to adjust and reverse warfarin dosing based on established protocols. This reduces the wait time and is expected to increase patient satisfaction. Despite the wide acceptance of pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinics, there is inconsistent evidence to support prevention of major bleeding. Methods: This is an IRB-approved prospective, unblinded randomized controlled trial of the clinical impact of home anticoagulation monitoring. The study will enroll all patients (who meet eligibility criteria) who require long-term anticoagulation therapy from a pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinic. Expected Outcomes: The purpose of this study is to evaluate if self- monitoring in addition to pharmacist review will increase the TTR. This will allow university- based pharmacists to provide care for more patients effectively in addition to their academic duties.
Prospective assessment of vitamin K dependent coagulation factor levels after temporary warfarin reversal in participants with left ventricular assist devices (LAVD).
The aim of our study is to assess three anticoagulation strategies for intermittent hemodialysis(IHD) in patients at risk of hemorrhage. A registry of consecutive hemodialysis patients with high risk of hemorrhage was conducted at the Guangdong General Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medicine University or Guangzhou Hospital of Chinese Medicine, between Sep 10, 2017 and June 30th,2018. In this multi-center prospective and randomized study, participants were randomly divided into three groups during IHD according to different anticoagulation, including with regular saline flushes, one stage regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) and two-stage RCA.
