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
Background There is no unanimous opinion about a lung-protective strategy in cardiac surgery. Small randomized clinical and animals trials suggest that ventilation during cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) could be protective on the lungs. This evidence is based on surrogate end-points and most of studies are limited to elective coronary surgery. According to the available data, an optimal strategy of lung protection during CPB cannot be recommended. The purpose of the CPBVENT study is to investigate the effectiveness of different ventilation strategies during CPB on post-operative pulmonary complications. Trial design The CPBVENT study will be a single-blind, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. We are going to enroll 780 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with planned use of CPB, aortic cross-clamping and two lung ventilation. Patients will be randomized into three treatment groups: 1) no ventilation during CPB; 2) continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH2O during CPB; 3) ventilation with 5 acts/minute with tidal volume of 2-3 ml/Kg and a PEEP of 3-5 cmH2O during CPB. The primary end-point will be the incidence of a PaO2/FiO2 ratio <200 until the time of discharge from the ICU. The secondary end-points will be the incidence of post-operative pulmonary complications and 30-days mortality. Patients will be followed-up to 12 months after the date of randomization. Summary The CPBVENT Trial will determine whether different ventilation strategies during CPB will improve pulmonary outcome in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
There is increased frequency of asthma in obese patients. This study is trying to find out if there is a difference in the presence of bronchospasm during anesthesia in obese and non obese patients.
