Filter by:A study to assess bronchospasm potentially induced by HFO MDI as compared with HFA MDI in participants with well controlled or partially controlled asthma
The most common adverse event in endoscopic procedures is hypoxia. Different airway devices have been investigated in the literature to prevent hypoxia. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and procedural performance of two different airway (GLT and WNJ) devices in ERCP procedures.
Bronchospasm during anaesthesia is a rare but potentially life-threatening event. They are classically part of IgE-dependent anaphylaxis but can also occur as an independent clinical entity, triggered by inflammatory factors such as smoking, chronic bronchitis, asthma, overweight and mechanical factors such as tracheal intubation. The etiological diagnosis is currently established during an allergy-anaesthesia consultation after skin testing for drugs used for induction of anaesthesia and antibiotic therapy when it is attributable. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics that differ between 2 groups: isolated non-allergic bronchospasm and bronchospasm as part of an immediate allergic hypersensitivity reaction.
This study, prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of ketamine administered in continuous infusion lasted more than 12 hours in children admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Padova. This drug may be used as adopted as adopted as adjuvant to analgesia and sedation or as adjuvant to bronchospasm therapy. The investigators evaluated efficacy considering the sparing of other analgesics and sedatives and the level of sedation after ketamine infusion for the first use and the sparing of other bronchospasm drugs sedative dosage for the second use. To evaluate safety the investigators considered the presence of adverse effects and onset of withdrawal and delirium syndrome. The study will included al least 55 pediatric patients < 18 years and mechanically ventilated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two different ways to teach hospitalized children how to use a metered dose inhaler and to follow-up after discharge home from the hospital to determine durability of the education.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, single-dose, placebo-controlled, 2-period, crossover study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of budesonide/albuterol metered-dose inhaler (BDA MDI/PT027) as compared with a placebo metered-dose inhaler (placebo MDI) on exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in adult and adolescent subjects with asthma. Subjects will receive each study treatment on separate visits and undergo a treadmill exercise challenge test for up to 10 minutes so that the effect of study treatment on exercise-induced bronchoconstriction can be evaluated.
During general anesthesia, functional residual capacity (FRC) is reduced. If the FRC is lower than the minimum volume required to maintain the opening of the airways, there is a derecruitment of the lung parenchyma, leading to the phenomenon of expiratory flow limitation (EFL). The Driving Pressure (DP) is the difference between the plateau pressure (Pplateau) and the Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP), and estimates the lung strain. The incidence of EFL and the importance of DP are not known in adult cardiac surgery, so it's necessary a study to assess both. The primary end-point of the study is to evaluate the correlation of DP and EFL with PPCs in adult cardiac surgery. The secondary end-point of the study is to evaluate: the mechanical ventilation time, the length of ICU and hospital stay, the rehospitalization and mortality. It will be a prospective, observational, non-pharmacological study. It will enroll 200 patients undergoing elective adult cardiac surgery.
Asthma is characterized by recurrent episodes of bronchospasm, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and chronic airway inflammation and pharmacological treatment for this condition is done with bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory.
Perioperative changes in regional ventilation by pulmonary electrical impedance tomography and spirometry will be investigated in patients at risk for postoperative pulmonary complications. Those patients undergo lung and flail chest surgery.
Perioperative changes in regional ventilation by pulmonary electrical impedance tomography and spirometry will be investigated in patients at risk for postoperative pulmonary complications. Those patients undergo abdominal and limb operations. In a pilot study arm electrical impedance tomography is tested in patients receiving osteosynthesis of serial rib fractures.
