Filter by:The overall goal of this project is to design, develop, and pilot test an emergency healthcare drone delivery system suitable for rural communities that can deliver AEDs to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) locations more rapidly than can be achieved with current first responder and EMS systems. The goal is to determine whether this method of AED delivery can be achieved rapidly enough to justify a future clinical trial directly testing its ability to improve OHCA survival.
This study aims to compare the effect of conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and CPR training with added virtual reality (VR) on trainee self-efficacy.
To provide detailed information on long-term outcomes in relation to potential neuroprotection and improvements in recovery for different targets of sedation, temperature, and pressure management in post out of hospital cardiac arrest survivors at 6 and 12 months. In addition, the impact of caring for a post OHCA survivor will be explored.
The Discover In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (IHCA) study is a multicenter, prospective observational study aimed at better understanding variations in practice for the post-in-hospital cardiac arrest patient.
This project is a randomized controlled clinical research design, The hypothesis P-I-C-O of the study is: For adult patients in the Taipei City and New Taipei City communities who have suffered sudden non-traumatic death and have been resuscitated by advanced paramedics, the intervention group that receives combined drug treatment (epinephrine, vasopressin, methylprednisolone) has a better rate of sustained recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) (primary outcome) and long-term survival status (secondary outcomes) compared to the control group that receives single drug treatment (epinephrine).
In this retrospective study, the investigators seek to investigate the incidence of pneumothorax following possible risk factors, and elucidate its association with outcomes.
Oxidative stress is one of the main mechanisms causing harm in severe infection with septic shock, ischemia-reperfusion injury in resuscitated cardiac arrest and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Melatonin is a potent scavenger of the mediators of oxidative stress, oxygen and nitrogen-reactive species, which directly injure cell structures like walls and DNA and thus cause organ dysfunction. In a previous study we have observed that high-dose oral bedtime melatonin (OBM) is associated with improved organ function in severe Covid-19 patients
The purpose of the research (pilot study) is to determine the impact of the use of the autotransfusion device on hemodynamic parameters during resuscitation. 24 people will be included in the pilot study (12 people will be included in the intervention group - with the usage of "autotransfusion socks" during resuscitation and 12 people in the control group - without "autotransfusion socks"). Investigators will compare the hemodynamic parameters and also neurological outcome between both groups.
The investigators want to investigate the effect of rTMS on working memory measured by the N-back task. This is a single case experimental design, ABAB.
Severe trauma, head trauma, stroke and resuscitated cardiac arrest patients requiring endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are at high risk of early-onset ventilator-associated pneumonia (EO-VAP). A short course of systemic antibiotic is recommended for prophylaxis. This study intends to assess the safety and efficacy of 2 alternative mechanical non-invasive airway clearance techniques in the prevention of EO-VAP in an open label randomized pilot trial of 20 subjects per study group i.e., 60 cases. The interventions will be in place for 7 days and the observational periods will be 14 days.
