Filter by:Double-blind, placebo controlled Phase III trial of erythropoietin for hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy in infants receiving hypothermia. The study aim is to determine whether Epo in conjunction with hypothermia in infants with moderate/severe hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) will improve neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 years of age, without significant adverse effects, when compared to hypothermia alone.
This is a Phase II multicenter placebo-controlled randomized, feasibility/safety trial. Infants >34 week gestational age with perinatal acidemia and mild neonatal encephalopathy on the modified Sarnat neurologic examination at less than six hours of age. Participants will be randomized to receive either one dose of Darbepoetin, or placebo within 24 hours of birth. Neurodevelopmental testing (Bayley (III or IV) and Gross Motor Function Assessment) will be performed at 24 months of age. Pharmacokinetics will be assessed on those infants that received Darbe.
The objective of the clinical investigation is to test whether intra-operative traction force feed back during vacuum extraction leads to a significant decrease in incidence of brain damage in neonates. By randomization, half of the vacuum extraction patients will be assigned to delivery using a new intelligent handle for vacuum extractions, and half will be assigned to conventional method without traction force measurement.
The primary objective of this multicenter observational study is to determine the effect size of the relationship between DCI and neuropsychological impairment 14-28 days and 3 months after aSAH. Secondary objectives are the feasibility to administer and the validity of the MoCA in an intensive care unit setting, as well as the test/retest reliability of the MoCA in patients with acute brain damage in absence of aSAH.
This study is designed to assess the effect of cerebral oxygen saturation as an early predictor of neurological outcomes in patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest
This study is designed to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single intravenous dose of TS23 in healthy adults.
This study evaluates effects of high inspiratory oxygen on cerebral tissue oxygenation and patient recovery after carotid endarterectomy. Two group of patient undergoing to carotid with total intravenous anaesthesia will receive either 35% inspired oxygen or 100% oxygen.
This study will delineate the risk profile of patients with isolated cerebral or coronary ischemia and those with combined disease. The study will also evaluate current management status of those patients and any unmet needs.This aim is proposed to be achieved by studying 3 groups of patients with coronary, cerebral or combined ischemia. Anticipated each group to be 1000 patients.
The goals of the project are to evaluate a noninvasive monitor of brain metabolism and blood flow in critically ill humans. If validated, such a reliable noninvasive brain blood flow and metabolism monitor, by allowing physiologic and pharmacologic decisions based on real-time brain physiology, potentially will become an important tool for clinicians in their efforts to prevent additional brain tissue death in patients admitted with stroke, brain hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury.
Primarily, the investigators want to test the hypothesis that it is possible to detect epileptiform EEG during cardiac surgery under general anesthesia. Furthermore, the investigators will examine if those epileptic potentials coincide, follow or are unrelated to ischemic events detected by EEG or Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Finally, the investigators will look for independent associations between intraoperative seizures (with or without ischemic events) and postoperative neurological outcome, as well as between intraoperative seizures (with or without ischemic events) and the total amount of TXA given.
