Filter by:We, therefore conducted a randomized cross over study to evaluate the usefulness of this new device use by experienced anesthesiologists in several airway manikin scenarios. We hypothesized that in the hands of experienced anesthesiologists the new Flexible Tip Bougie catheter would perform comparably to the standard bougie catheter) in the normal airway scenario. In the difficult airway (both tongue edema, manual in-line stabilization, or cervical collar stabilization), we hypothesized that the new Flexible Tip Bougie catheter would prove superior to the standard Bougie stylet.
This is a clinical study based on analysis of video-clip data of intubation and clinical data for cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients between 2011.03.01.-2012.02.28.. Aim of this study is to estimate the appropriate number of endotracheal intubation(ETI) experience for successful ETI at first attempt during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
This is a clinical study based on the analysis of video-clip data of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and clinical data for out of hospital cardiac arrest patients between 2011 and 2015. Aim of study is to compare the endotracheal intubation performance and CPR outcomes between videolaryngoscopy (VL) and direct laryngoscopy (DL) users.
This is a clinical study based on collected video-clip data of cardiopulmonary resuscitation for patients with suspected neck injury in multiple trauma between 2011 and 2015. The study aimed to compare all possible factors relating to ETI performance during CPR for truma patients between experienced video-laryngoscopy and direct- laryngoscopy users.
In the U.S. alone, over 300,000 people per year have sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and less than 1 out of 10 survive. The current standard practice for treating OHCA is to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) at the scene until either the heart is restarted or resuscitation efforts are considered hopeless and discontinued. An alternative strategy for those with refractory OHCA is expedited transport with ongoing mechanical CPR to an Emergency Department capable of performing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). The purpose of study is to test if this strategy is feasible and beneficial.
The aim of this prospective, explorative study of noninvasive neuromonitoring was to search potential and practical methods associated with neurological outcome in the perioperative and immediate postoperative setting of surgery of the thoracic aorta. These methods include abbreviated EEG monitoring, near-infrared spectroscopy, transcranial Doppler ultrasound and biochemical markers associated with neuronal damage.
A prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel study was conducted in patients undergoing resuscitation with chest compression for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in the mixed medical-surgical ICU's of 8 academic tertiary care hospitals in Iran. Patients randomized into 2 groups: 1) standard chest compression, 2) chest compression with real-time audio-visual feedback using the Cardio First Angel™ (CFA; INOTECH, Nubberg, Germany) device. The primary outcome was sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Secondary outcomes were survival to ICU and hospital discharge, incidence of sternum and rib fractures.
Patients who are having problems breathing sometimes require placement of a breathing tube in their mouth and windpipe. The purpose of this breathing tube is to save the patient's life. It is common to give the patient a medication to sedate him or her before the breathing tube is placed. For patients who are gravely ill two medications are commonly used: etomidate or ketamine. Both medications have risks and benefits. Researchers at UT-Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Memorial Hospital would like to do a study to figure out which one is better for our patients.
The investigators conducted a randomized, controlled, single-blinded study of patients undergoing CPR for cardiac arrest in the mixed medical-surgical ICUs of four academic teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran from June 1 to October 31, 2014. Patients were randomized to receive CPR with either standard manual compression, or compression with real-time audiovisual feedback using the Cardio First Angel™ device.
The primary objective of this study is to determine how often cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is perceived as inappropriate by Healthcare Providers (HCPs) working in prehospital Ambulance Services and Emergency Departments. Perception of inappropriate CPR is defined as resuscitation efforts perceived by HCPs as disproportionate to the expected prognosis of the patient in terms of survival or quality of life. When a HCP perceives CPR as inappropriate, this may cause moral and emotional distress. This perception may be modulated by the personal background and professional role of the HCP, but also by his/her working conditions. Apart from the workload, the resulting distress can be influenced by the way non-technical skills are developed within the team and the ethical environment in which the HCP functions. Frequent exposure to similar patient care situations and/or a professional environment not acknowledging the distress may lead to deficient coping mechanisms and accumulation of moral distress. This may be associated with job leave, burnout and a decreased quality of patient care. Acute distress may also influence the quality of care provided to actual and future patients. Secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate whether perceived inappropriateness of CPR is not only associated with patient related factors but also with personal characteristics and work related factors. Potential consequences for HCP's like moral distress and intentional job leave will be assessed.
