Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate exercise strategies that motivate and relive stress in adults with cardiopulomnary conditions. The goals of this study are as follows: - To explore the feasibility (how easily it can be done) of using self-selected music during exercise training for adults with cardiopulmonary conditions. - To assess patient satisfaction of self-selected music with exercise for adults with cardiopulmonary conditions. - To explore the immediate effects of self-selected music on mood and symptoms (shortness of breath and fatigue) compared with listening to a podcast during their exercise training session Participants will: - Select 5-7 songs and 1 podcast to listen to during their treatment session - Walk on the treadmill while either listening to a podcast or music - Fill out surveys about their mood, symptoms (shortness of breath and fatigue), music/podcast, and exercise
Tobacco use remains the leading cause of death in the United States and contributes to more than 7 million hospitalizations annually. Being admitted to the hospital offers the perfect opportunity to support smoking cessation. Patients are motivated to quit because of their current illness and societal guidelines recommend clinicians should counsel patients and prescribe smoking cessation pharmacotherapy (SCP) to virtually all smokers. However, only 22% of patients are prescribed SCP while hospitalized, and only 1% are prescribed medications compatible with current guidelines. This failure is part of the reason 70-80% of hospitalized smokers eventually relapse. The relapse typically occurs within a few days of hospital discharge - well before outpatient follow-up can occur. The investigators aim to improve smoking cessation treatment and guideline adherence by utilizing the opportunity that hospitalization provides. The investigators have created a tobacco treatment team (T3) to overcome physicians' and patients' low use of current guideline smoking cessation medications. The team members are trained in tobacco treatment and will be led by a nurse practitioner (NPT3). The team will work together and 1) prescribe individually tailored and guideline-concordant SCP; 2) counsel and motivate patients to use SCP properly; and 3) manage a mobile phone-based text-messaging system to keep patients motivated and adherent to SCP. Our preliminary data suggest that such an approach is workable and acceptable to patients, physicians, and hospital administrators. The investigators will recruit 424 patients in the hospital who smoke with cardiopulmonary disease. These patients will be randomized to receive either usual care or personalized care with the NPT3 team. The investigators will compare rates of guideline-concordant SCP use at 1 week and exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) verified smoking cessation at 6 months between patients randomized to the NPT3 team vs. usual care. The investigators will also measure the project's economic value from a hospital and payer perspective. Understanding the economic value will better inform hospital and insurance policies and sustainability. Finally, acceptability, generalizability, and sustainability measures will be assessed through qualitative interviews with patients, providers, and hospital leadership.
This study is designed to be a clinical validation study to ready the CPM System for FDA 510(k) submission. This study will be conducted as a prospective non-randomized. The study is non-significant risk since the CPM Device is noninterventional and noninvasive. The study is primarily designed to validate the accuracy of the respiration rate and the changes in relative tidal volume. All participants will be fitted with both the CPM Device as well as reference devices (capnography and ECG). Participants will be randomized between 4 procedures (A-D) which will determine the order of 10 exercises. Each exercise has about 2 minutes of device recording and two minutes of rest. Each exercise contains two positions: sitting up for one minute and lying down for one minute. For some exercises, the participant will be instructed to breathe at a certain rate (assisted by a metronome). For other exercises, the participants will breathe at a normal rate but change how deep the are breathing. For the last, all capnography reference devices will be removed, and an ECG reference device will be placed. After exercise 18, the participant will have all devices removed and the study visit will terminate. The participant will receive a safety follow-up call about 1 week after their visit.
The study aims to identify the Following: - 1. incidence and mortality of cardiac Surgery associated -AKI based on the new consensus diagnostic systems of KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes). 2. use of biomarkers for the early detection of clinical and subclinical cardiac Surgery associated-AKI. 3. risk factors and prediction models of cardiac Surgery associated-AKI. 4. optimal cardiac surgical procedures including conventional versus minimally invasive approaches, on-pump versus off-pump, and optimal management of cardiac surgical support including duration of CPB, perfusion pressure, hemodilution, and hypothermia during CPB. 5. controversial pharmacologic therapies for the prevention and treatment of cardiac Surgery associated-AKI including statins, sodium bicarbonate, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC).
Increasingly, transesophageal echos (TEEs) are being done on high risk patients. A TEE is a short procedure done with deep sedation, but poses an increased risk of apnea/ hypoxemia in those with pulmonary disease. It is desirable to avoid intubation, which adds risk. Use of supraglottic airway (SGA) may offer an alternative. The investigators hypothesize that TEEs can be done successfully with an SGA in place. The investigators propose a prospective RCT to compare TEE exams done with deep sedation to those done with an SGA.
The ADI At-Home CPM (Cardiopulmonary Management) System is a non-invasive device that measures and trends a variety of biological parameters. This study will be conducted as a prospective non-randomized study with two study arms/cohorts - one of healthy adult patients, one of pathologic patients who fit into the intended use population of the CPM System.
This study will investigate the effect of a 12-weeks cardiac rehabilitation training (HIIT, MICT) program on VO2peak and cardiac fibrosis in patients, and evaluate the effects of HIIT on endothelial function, microvascular obstruction, body fat, inflammation, arrhythmia and psychology .
The physiological derangements in subjects suffering from long-term symptoms following a Covid-19 infection (Post-COVID-19 Syndrome) are poorly understood and evaluated. This study will recruit subjects with a clinical diagnosis of Post-Covid-19-syndrome) who are scheduled for either of lung function testing, cardiopulmonary exercise testing or cardiac ultrasound. Patients' symptoms will be correlated to physiological measures and compared to predicted values. In addition, in 20 patients, symptoms and physiological measures will be correlated to epigenetical alterations, or DNA-methylation patterns. In addition, a subset of patients will be examined a year after the baseline testing in order to follow the progress of the disease.
The objective of this study is to compare the effects of twice-a-day 15-minute sessions of inpatient physical therapy (PT) to the standard daily 30 minute sessions. The patient outcomes that will be evaluated will be length of stay, change in functional status, and disposition (home/acute rehab vs. subacute/LTAC/death) in patients admitted with COVID-19.
Researchers are trying to develop innovative strategies that target the early identification heart and lung imbalances in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases.
