Personal information form was used as data collection form, Visual Analog Scala was used to assess pain, and Postpartum Comfort Questionnaire was used to assess comfort.

NCT ID: NCT04428164 Enrolling by invitation - Comfort Clinical Trials

Enhancing Patient Experience of Pain and Sleep Through Non-Pharmacological Strategies

Start date: February 15, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Comfort can be a physical sensation, a psychological state, or both simultaneously . Patient comfort in an inpatient setting is a subjective state that varies from each individual based on different factors and situations. The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (R-CSQ) and the Revised American Pain Society Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R) are tools that have been developed to assess patient satisfaction and comfort in the hospital setting. The R-CSQ is a scale used to measure different aspects of sleep quality. This scale allows the patient to rate their quality and amount of sleep on a scale of 0-100. The R-CSQ allows the patient to rate six different components of their sleep, including sleep depth, sleep latency, awakenings, returning to sleep, sleep quality, and noise. The APS-POQ-R can be utilized to measure perceived levels of pain in patients. The APS-POQ-R scale is a validated scale that is used in the hospital setting with reliable and consistent results. This scale measures five aspects of a patient's perception and experiences with pain and a sixth aspect including nonpharmacological interventions. We propose that if patients implement interventions that promote sleep and decrease pain, comfort will be improved.

NCT ID: NCT04305990 Not yet recruiting - Feasibility Clinical Trials

Demand-Driven Method for Gas Delivery in a Dental Setting

Start date: March 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study compares two methods of gas delivery in a dental setting: 1) demand-driven (DD) and 2) free-flow (FF). Nitrous oxide and oxygen sedation (NOS) is a common form of minimal sedation for adult and paediatric patients undergoing dental procedures. In order for NOS devices to be utilized during dental treatment, dentists must be able to provide gas flow to the patient, and subsequently scavenge used and unused gasses. Gas delivery is via a nasal mask, since the oral cavity must be accessible to the dentist throughout treatment. Current devices for NOS in the dental setting utilize a free-flow gas method, where nitrous oxide and oxygen are released continuously from their tanks. The flow rate is set by the dentist according to the patient's minute ventilation needs, and unused and exhaled gasses are scavenged via the nasal mask. The demand-driven gas flow method, where inspiration triggers gas flow, has been used successfully in other medical settings, such as in obstetrics, medical emergencies, and for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, in these settings the mask used covers both the nose and mouth, and patients can trigger the demand-driven method through inspiration of the nose or mouth. The demand-driven gas flow method has a significant gas-sparing advantage over the free-flow method. With a demand-driven method, the patient dictates the flow rate and gas is only delivered when they are inspiring, compared to the free-flow method which provide gas flow throughout inspiration and expiration. However, the demand-driven method have not been studied in a dental setting where flow can only be triggered through the nose. It is therefore unknown whether it is feasible or comfortable for patients to trigger a demand-driven method nasally when their mouth is open during dental treatment. This study will aim to assess the feasibility and comfort of a nasal demand-driven gas delivery method utilizing 100% oxygen in healthy, adult participants in a simulated dental setting. If the device is feasible and comfortable with 100% oxygen in a simulated dental setting, future research can be conducted to assess its use for NOS for dental treatment.

NCT ID: NCT04293913 Completed - Anxiety Clinical Trials

Use of Illustrated Material in Communication With the Patient in the Mechanical Ventilator

Start date: January 15, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study was carried out to determine the effect of the use of communication material on the anxiety and comfort of the patient in communication with patients receiving mechanical ventilators.As a result, the use of communication material reduces anxiety and increases patient satisfaction and comfort level. In communicating with intubated patients receiving mechanical ventilator therapy, the use of illustrated communication material is recommended.

NCT ID: NCT04249479 Completed - Comfort Clinical Trials

Contrast Media Temperature and Patient Comfort in CT of the Abdomen

CATCHY
Start date: February 3, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Abdominal computed tomographic (CT) is an important prognostic tool with regard to the detection of oncological, infectious and other abdominal disorders. The total iodine load (TIL) is regarded as a decisive factor in the opacification of parenchymal structures. The EICAR trial demonstrated that injection with high flow rates of prewarmed contrast media (CM) was safe and patients did not experience any pain, stress of discomfort during injection. Flow rates as high as 8.8 ml/s were injected without any discomfort. All concentrations used (e.g. 240, 300 and 370 mg I/ml) in this study were prewarmed. According to the recent recommendations (ESUR guidelines 10.0) it should be considered to warm iodine-based CM before administration. The hypothesis is that although using CM at room temperature (~23°C [~73°F]) might result in lower attenuation of the liver parenchyma than would be achieved using CM pre-warmed to body temperature, diagnostic image quality, patient safety and comfort will not be compromised by not pre-warming CM in this setting. According to the guidelines, it is regarded as best clinical practice to pre-warm CM. Surprisingly, these recommendations are merely based on a hypothetical assumption. In the literature, there are no studies evaluating this topic and it has never been clearly shown to result in a better patient comfort. For this reason, many clinics do not pre-warm their CM in daily clinical routine. Only one study evaluated subjective comfort in hysterosalpingography (HSG), in which CM is injected in to the cavity of the uterus. This study found that prewarmed CM alleviates the pain and decreased the incidence of vasovagal episodes during HSG. To the best of our knowledge, no study showed that prewarmed CM in CT resulted in higher patient comfort, in comparison to CM at room temperature (20° C). Up till now, all CM in the department is prewarmed. In case this study does not show a difference in patient comfort, prewarming the CM can be stopped, resulting in a considerable simplified workflow. The hypothesis is that usage of CM at room temperature (20° C) might result in a decreased level of patient comfort in abdominal CT, in comparison to pre-heated (37° C) CM, with no significant difference in diagnostic attenuation of the liver parenchyma between groups.
