Filter by:The purpose of this research, which has been determined as non-significant risk by the central IRB overseeing the study, is to obtain information to help further develop a machine (a medical device) to measure the pressure around the brain from the outside (this pressure is called intracranial pressure or ICP). Monitoring and managing ICP is an important part of care for patients with conditions such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). However, the current way of measuring ICP requires surgery to drill a hole into the skull, and therefore can introduce additional risks such as infections and pain. Recent research has shown it may be possible to measure ICP without needing surgery. This technology is in development, but large amounts of data is required to build these new devices. Through collecting a large database of information from patients who have both the routine surgical device and the research device applied to their head, the research team will work to develop and test an effective and potentially safer way of monitoring patient ICP.
This was a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trail involved tracheostomized patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage.The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the clinical effect of Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding vs Nasogastric Tube Feeding in Tracheostomized Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage. The main questions it aims to answer are: Compared to Nasogastric Tube Feeding, can the Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding better improve the nutritional status, extubation of tracheostomy tube, pulmonary infection, neurological deficit of Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage Compared to Nasogastric Tube Feeding, is the Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding safer. Participants will be divided into two groups randomly, with different nutritional support respectively.
Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at heightened risk of developing sepsis, significantly increasing mortality and healthcare burden. Currently, there is a lack of effective tools for the early prediction of sepsis in ICH patients within the ICU. This study aims to develop a reliable predictive model using machine learning techniques to assist clinicians in the early identification of patients at high risk and to facilitate timely intervention. The Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) IV database (version 2.2) is an international online repository for critical care expertise. This database contains patient-related information collected from the ICUs of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between 2008 and 2019. It includes a vast dataset of 299,712 hospital admissions and 73,181 intensive care unit patients. The eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD) comprises data from over 200,000 ICU admissions for 139,367 unique patients across 208 US hospitals between 2014 and 2015, providing a valuable resource for critical care research. This study aims to establish and validate multiple machine learning models to predict the onset of sepsis in ICU patients with ICH and to identify the model with the optimal predictive performance.
The goal of this clinical trial is to clarify the efficacy, safety and feasibility of early intensive antihypertensive treantment in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients at high risk of hematoma expansion based on artificial intelligence prediction. The main question it aims to answer are: - Can ICH patients at high risk of hematoma expansion based on artificial intelligence prediction benefit from early intensive antihypertensive treatment? - Is early intensive antihypertensive treatment safe to patients at high risk of hematoma expansion based on artificial intelligence prediction. Participants will accept intensive antihypertensive treatment (target systolic blood pressure: 130-140mmHg) at early stage (within 1 hour after randomization) of cerebral hemorrhage and maitain the target blood pressure for 7 days. Researchers will compare standard treatment group (target systolic blood pressure 140-180mmHg after randomization) to see if intensive antihypertensive treatment can improve the outcome of patients with ICH.
The proposed research plan seeks to understand the impact of sleep disruption in the Neurological Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on older patients with acute brain injury (ABI). In current practice, the neurocritical care community performs frequent serial neurological examinations ("neurochecks") in an effort to monitor patients for neurological deterioration following brain injury. Many neurocritical patients are older and/or cognitively fragile, and delirium is common. Although ICU delirium is multifaceted, frequent neurochecks may represent a modifiable risk factor if the investigators can better understand the risks and benefits of various neurocheck frequencies. This project will randomize patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) to either hourly (Q1) or every-other-hour (Q2) neurochecks and evaluate the impact of neurocheck frequency on delirium. Second, longer-term cognitive outcomes will be investigated in patients with ICH randomized to Q1 versus Q2 neurochecks with the goal of identifying whether hourly neurochecks increase the risk for dementia.
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a critical disease of public health importance. Inflammatory mechanisms play a significant role in ICH. Thus, immune targets are supposed to be effective in protecting the neurological function of ICH. Fingolimod, a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor regulator (FTY720), is an effective immunology modulator. It has been widely used in autoimmune disease and has also been testified effective in ICH who received conservative treatment. The present study aims to evaluate the efficiency and safety of fingolimod for ICH with minimal invasive treatment.
The purpose of the present study is to study the effect of baricitinib administration on outcome of participants with moderate and severe traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage/contusions. A multi-center randomized control trial will be conducted. Participants with a radiological diagnosis of traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage/contusions and an initial GCS score of 5-12 will be screened and enrolled in the first 24 hours after traumatic brain injury.
The design of the present study will be a multicenter prospective observational protocol. Approximately 100 patients will be recruited over the 24-month period with Acute Brain Injury (trauma brain injury, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, ischemic stroke), who in their acute phase of intensive care unit require placement of a catheter capable of monitoring intracranial pressure (intra parenchymal catheter or external ventricular shunt). In addition to all the intensive care provided by the most recent guidelines, patients will undergo measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter through ultrasonography. At least, three measurements will be performed within the first 3 hours after admission, within the first 24-48 hours, and at each invasive intracranial pressure value greater than 18 cmH2O. Those patients with intracranial pressure values greater than 35 mmHg. At the first intracranial pressure measurement, patients with eyeball disease or trauma will be excluded. Measurements will be performed following the CLOSED bundle. Analysis of the results will include correlation between the invasive pressure values and the mean value of optic nerve sheath diameter measurements in the two projections (sagittal and transverse). In addition, the correlation of the absolute value of invasive pressure detected with the ratio of the optic nerve sheath diameter measurement to the eyeball diameter measured always ultrasound will be sought.
Moderate-severe intraventricular hemorrhage (Grades II-IV, msIVH) is a significant neurological complication among extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGANs, <27+6 weeks) and is associated with long-term neurodisabilities. In Canada, msIVH affects ~25-30% of the 1300 ELGANs born annually, with little change in incidence over last decade. Typically, it occurs between days 2-7 of age, providing a finite window of opportunity. Instituting therapies at the population level, however, exposes many low-risk infants to side effects, adversely affecting risk-benefit profile and requiring large sample sizes in trials. A targeted preventative approach, though ideal, is currently challenged by our inability to reliably identify at-risk ELGANs early after birth. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has emerged as a promising non-invasive bedside neuromonitoring tool. Pilot studies using NIRS, including ours, found lower cerebral saturations (CrSO2) and greater periods of altered cerebral autoregulation in infants who later developed msIVH. However, a systematic planned investigation is needed to establish the predictive characteristics of NIRS-derived markers, using clinically translatable methods (cumulative burden over time-period vs. single time-point values) and identify their relative performance at different time-points during transition. Further, incorporating echocardiographic (ECHO) hemodynamic markers, known to be associated with msIVH, may allow for the establishment of robust multi-model prediction models and the gain of mechanistic hemodynamic insights to inform future management. Hence, our objective is to investigate the utility of multi-modal assessment using NIRS and ECHO for early identification of ELGANs at risk of msIVH, and generate clinically applicable predictive model(s).
Minocycline has been found to reduce cerebral edema secondary to cerebral hemorrhage, promote hematoma absorption, and shorten hematoma absorption time; clinical studies have been conducted to confirm the safety in the treatment, but no significant hematoma absorption effect was seen with short duration of drug use. Therefore, the investigators propose to conduct a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial to determine its accelerating effect on hematoma absorption.
