Filter by:Self-care and self-medication are commonly the treatments of choice for the management of minor ailments. Minor ailments can be treated through community pharmacy using a Minor Ailment Service (MAS). The INDICA+PRO Impact Study, evaluated the clinical, economic and humanistic impact of a MAS, concluding that community pharmacies could greatly benefit the health system. Thus, the following objectives were defined for the INDICA+PRO implementation study. The primary objective is to implement a standardised MAS in usual practice in community pharmacy in Spain. The secondary objectives include an evaluation of the clinical and economic outcomes and the role and impact of two different models of change agents. A pragmatic study with an effectiveness-implementation hybrid design type 3 will be undertaken using the Framework for the Implementation of Services in Pharmacy (FISpH). The study will be carried between October 2020 and December 2022. Two type of practice change facilitators FaFa and SEFaFa. Their main function, using the Observe-Plan-Do-Study-Act process, will be to facilitate the implementation through individualised continuous support to providers of the MAS. The depth and breadth of support to pharmacist providers by each type of change agents will vary. Pharmaceutical Associations (PA) and/or Spanish Society of Community Pharmacy (SEFAC) will invite community pharmacies/pharmacists. Participating pharmacists will need to sign a commitment form. The second study population will consist of patients presenting with minor ailments or requesting a non-prescription medication. Recruitment of patients will be carried out by the pharmacist providers. The inclusion criteria will be: patients or caregivers (aged ≥18 years, or younger if they are accompanied by an adult) presenting with 31 minor ailments, grouped into five categories (respiratory, moderate pain, digestive, dermatological and other) with pre-agreed referral protocols. Other symptoms may be included at the discretion of the pharmacists. The exclusion criteria will be patients who do not provide informed consent. The patient/pharmacist intervention will consist of a MAS protocol adapted for each symptom. The consultation will be record in an electronic data capture system (SEFAC eXPERT®-) that provides a step-by-step approach with protocols and clinical information embedded. The FISpH model will be used to guide the implementation of MAS. Two types of change agents, FaFas and SeFaFas, previously trained for 18 hours, will be used to facilitate the implementation. During each of the stages (exploration, preparation, testing and operation, and initial sustainability), strategies will be used by FaFas and SeFaFas to moderate implementation factors. The impact of strategies will be evaluated. Data on pharmacy/pharmacist's provider performance and patient outcomes will be provided to pharmacist, change agents and PA and SEFAC. FaFas and SeFaFas will have a classification system for barriers and facilitators derived from the constructs in the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). The classification system for implementation strategies consists of an adaptation of the facilitation activities listed by Dogherty et al. These will be documented in an electronic data capture system. FaFas will train their pharmacists (max. of 25 pharmacies) for 6 hours and subsequently provide at least monthly follow-up. The research team will provide ongoing feedback and support to the FaFas and SeFaFas through periodically, hold group meetings by video conference between the research group and all the FaFas and SeFaFas. The research group will provide formal reports on the implementation process and patient outcomes. Other forms of communication such as emails, telephone calls or WhatsApp messaging will also be available. Implementation and patient consultation process and outcome variables will be measured such as reach, fidelity and integration. Outcome service indicators will be clinical, economic and humanistic. A patient follow up will occur at a maximum of 10 days. Continuous variables will be reported using mean and standard deviation, or median and percentiles. Categorical variables will be reported using percentages. T Student's test or the ANOVA test or Kruskal-Wallis. χ2 test, Fisher's exact test or Yate's chi-squared will also be used. To determine the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables, logistic regression models will be performed including the variables with statistical significance in the bivariate model. The level of significance will be set at p <0.05. Machine learning and big data techniques are being considered for predictive modelling. The research team will only have access to de-identified data of pharmacists and patients. This study protocol has been approved by the Granada Research Ethics Committee on the 5th February 2020.
This is a randomized double-blinded study to investigate in which the groups are designated as the control group and the goal-directed fluid therapy group to further evaluate significant differences in rate of complications during burn surgery.
This study aims to assess the feasibility and safety of VTE prophylaxis for 3 modality regimens (Unfractionated heparin 5000 U SQ q8 hours, Enoxaparin 40 mg SQ q24 hours or Enoxaparin 30 mg SQ q12 hours) in adult patients (≥18 y/o) with severely burn injuries (BSA≥20%) by measuring the bleeding incidence and VTE events.
The objective of this study is to validate the proof of concept regarding the approach of manual implantation of full-thickness skin microcolumns (FTSMs) into a dermal regeneration template as coverage for open wounds without creating an additional donor scar and while also capitalizing on the wound healing benefits offered by full-thickness skin grafts.
This study is intended to provide information from subjects who currently have painful, chronically open wounds and assess the pain reduction capacity of KeraStat® Gel with Morphine. In gathering data from subjects who have baseline pain from their chronically open wounds, the investigators can then evaluate the capacity of KeraStat® Gel plus Morphine in reducing the subjects daily pain levels, pain associated with dressing changes, and pain medication consumption.
This study will be done to evaluate effect of applying LED before hand exercise on hand grip strength. Sixty male patients with subacute partial thickness burn of hand will be randomly allocated into two equal groups of 30 patients. The following equipment and tools will be used Measurement equipments: - For total active motion of fingers (TAM): Goniometer. - For hand grip strength: Hand grip dynamometer. Therapeutic equipment: Light emitting diode therapy (LED) device.
Study Synopsis Title; The dermis graft: epithelialization and late scar evaluation A Clinical Prospective multicenter trial Objectives; The objective of this study is to compare a dermal graft with a conventional split thickness skin graft regarding healing quality and scarring. Design; the study is a prospective, controlled clinical multicenter trial. Study population; Atleast 20 burn patients (18-80 years) with a full thickness burn that requires permanent skin cover. Time plan; Enrollment will continue until atleast 20 patients have been included and completed the study.
The primary objective of this study is to develop a high accuracy and automated system that can provide early assessment of burn injuries with at least 90% accuracy in absence of burn experts, using AI and FDA cleared harmonic ultrasound TDI data based on the analysis of mechanical and hemodynamic properties of the subcutaneous burned tissue. Data collected in this study will lead to the development of better diagnostic tools that could inform clinical burn practices by enabling doctors to determine burn depth and the need for surgery with greater speed and accuracy, resulting in better clinical outcomes.
Registry intended to provide a data repository and reporting infrastructure for the surveillance of CytoSorb device use in real-world critical care settings, and to serve as an objective, comprehensive, and scientifically-based resource to measure and improve the quality of patient care
