Filter by:Sedoanalgesia is applied to patients during gastrointestinal endoscopy. Sedoanalgesia may cause respiratory depression and hypoxia in patients. During these procedures, patients should be given oxygen support to reduce the incidence of hypoxia.This study aimed to compare the efficacy and procedural performance of two different airway devices (Wei Nasal Jet Tube vs Nasal Cannula Oxygen Support) in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
Several studies show that unnecessary and frequent visits to the emergency department for bronchospasm care are associated with inadequate management of inhalers and poor education on the approach to respiratory distress. Main objective: To determine the degree of frequentation to the pediatric emergency department for bronchospasm at 1, 3 and 6 months after the educational intervention. Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial with two groups: EXPERIMENTAL will receive the educational intervention, along with usual care, and CONTROL will receive usual care. Subjects: pediatric patients (2-15 years) diagnosed with bronchospasm; in home treatment with inhalation chambers; and their parents. Emergency Department recruitment. Follow-up at home
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.
The goal of this study to evaluate whether eliminating the use of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) for maintenance of general anesthesia reduces postoperative pulmonary complications in higher risk patients.
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.
Despite few scientific evidence that could support the use of ketamine in adult patients undergoing acute bronchospasm requiring mechanical ventilation (MV), ketamine is largely employed in this setting. The aim of this study is therefore assess more definitively the real benefit of using ketamine in patients with severe bronchospasm, requiring ICU stay and need for MV in order to establish or refute the use of this drug as "standard therapy" in these cases.
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.
