Filter by:This is an open, observational, prospective, descriptive, single-centre study including 60 patients. The study is designed to investigate if IscAlert sensor system can be used for reliable and continuous tissue carbon dioxide (pCO2)- and temperature monitoring in muscular tissue in lower extremity in patients at risk of developing acute compartment syndrome.
It is unknown whether different end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure levels have a clinically significant effect on bleeding and surgical field quality in septorhinoplasty, especially during controlled hypotension. Therefore, it was aimed to investigate the effect of ventilation strategy with controlled hypocapnia on intraoperative bleeding and surgical field quality for commonly practiced in septorhinoplasty.
Investigators will test if changes in CO2 is detected postoperatively in ischemic tissue in a replanted extremity of a traumatically amputated upper or lower extremity. IscAlert is measuring continuously CO2 in muscular and subcutaneous tissue. IscAlert is inserted distal to the operative field into normal muscle and/or subcutaneous tissue in the replanted extremity. Local tissue CO2 and temperature will be monitored continuously postoperatively for the next 10 days. If a reduced or totally obstructed blood flow appear (thrombosis), an increase in tissue CO2 and a lower local temperature will emerge rapidly as a sign of ischemia. This will be detected by the sensor which will alarm the investigators. This will lead to assessment of the replanted extremity and if restricted blood flow is diagnosed, a reoperation will be performed. After reoperation new sensors will be implanted for another ten days if applicable. Sixty patients will be enrolled to undergo the procedures. The IscAlert will be removed from the patient before the patient is discharged from the hospital or a maximum of 10 days (the event that occurs first). 500 devices is planned to be used in this clinical study.
An Interventional Study is planned with the primary purpose of screening for changes in end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), inspired carbon dioxide (ICO2), and other vital signs that may develop after donning a disposable surgical mask. Measurements will be taken and recorded during a 5-minute control period without a mask, recording non-invasive ETCO2 and ICO2 levels by way of a nasal cannula (NC), oxygen saturation (SpO2), breaths per minute (RR), and heart rate (HR) via anesthesia equipment. This will be followed by a 15-minute intervention of wearing a disposable surgical mask and repeating measurements of ETCO2, ICO2, SpO2, RR, and HR, recorded each minute. Data will be collected from adults and children as young as 2 years of age. Age groups will include children aged 2-14 and adults aged 18 to 80, as described in the details of the research protocol. Parents and their children are invited to participate together.
Acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion is responsible of cerebral blood flow impairment with a progressive and extensive ischemic process. Cerebral collateral circulation may preserve an ischemic penumbra that could recover providing timely reperfusion of the occluded vessel. Mechanical thrombectomy is the standard of care for anterior circulation large vessel reperfusion. Strategy to promote cerebral blood flow in collateral circulation before reperfusion is scarce and rely mainly on blood pressure maintenance. Carbon dioxide is a potent cerebral vasodilator that could enhance collateral circulation blood flow and cerebral protection before reperfusion. General anesthesia with endotracheal mechanical ventilation could be used for thrombectomy and give the opportunity to modulate and control carbon dioxide tension in the blood. This study will test the effect of moderate hypercapnia on penumbral collateral circulation before reperfusion during mechanical thrombectomy for anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke under general anesthesia.
This is a prospective, single arm, open, single centre clinical investigation designed to examine the feasibility and safety of the IscAlert™ device in patients scheduled for limb (arm/leg) surgery with tourniquet. IscAlert is measuring carbon dioxide in muscular and subcutaneous tissue. IscAlert is inserted into normal muscle and subcutaneous tissue in ischemic (operated limb with a tourniquet) and non-ischemic limb (non-operated limb).After the tourniquet is inflated, ischemia develops in the muscles and subcutaneous tissue. This will result in an increase in carbon dioxide, which will be detected by the sensor on the operated extremity, while the sensor on the non-operated will show normal values. After releasing the tourniquet cuff, the muscle will be reperfused and the carbon dioxide level is expected to decrease into normal levels. 50 number of patients will be enrolled to undergo the procedures. The IscAlert will be removed from the patient before the patient is discharged from the operating room, but in 25 of the patients, IscAlert™ will be inserted for 72 hours in the operated extremity after the end of surgery. After this, the sensors are removed.250 Devices is planned to be used in this clinical study.

By observing the changes of Central venous-arterial partial pressure difference of carbon dioxide [P (v-a) CO2] in liquid resuscitation during early escharectomy in patients with large-scale burns, We investigate the effect of P (v-a) CO2 on postoperative tissue perfusion and oxygenation in order to seek a more effective intergrated target plan of liquid resuscitation for burn patients.
CO2 monitoring through non-invasive methods at different O2 flow rates may provide an early warning sign of hypoventilation during procedural sedation.
