Filter by:The study is a non-blinded trial with one single intervention in sick newborn infants. The Neosense umbilical catheter will be used instead of the routinely used umbilical catheter on infants where the treating physician has ordered use of an umbilical catheter. The catheter will be connected to the Neosense monitor/measuring unit. Blood samples for blood gas analysis are collected from the patients according to the clinical routine (every 4th to 6th hour). Oxygen tension data from the Neosense measuring system, from the time points when a blood gas sample was collected, will be recorded. This data will be compared to the oxygen tension value from the blood gas sample collected at the same time point. The blood gas samples will be analysed according to clinical and laboratory routine. The infants will remain in the study as long as the Neosense measuring system is used.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of different intra-arterial catheter size on the frequency of optimal dynamic response in radial arterial waveform.
This randomized controlled study will be performed to compare the benefits and risks associated with the administration of misoprostol with or without the use of a transcervical balloon catheter to terminate pregnancy in the second trimester (defined as gestational age between 14 and 28 weeks of gestation).
A randomized prospective comparison of two FDA approved intravenous catheters in the emergency department setting. The Terumo SurFlash Plus offers novel technologies that promise to increase intravenous access success rates and decrease blood contamination of the insertion site. This study would analyze these properties in our busy, urban emergency department setting where time and safety of intravenous access are most critical.
