In March 2020 the World Health Organization declares the Coronavirus disease pandemic 2019. Intensive Care Units deal entirely with patients with pneumonia complicated by Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, requiring aggressive respiratory treatments with long periods of connection to mechanical ventilation, sedation and immobilization, contributing to the onset of acquired critical patient muscle weakness (IAPD). IUCD is a frequent complication in intensive care units, with an incidence of 11-67%¹. Of multifactorial cause, immobilization or "bed-rest", the use of corticosteroids and neuromuscular blocking agents have been described as factors directly related to this syndrome. Several studies have shown that mobilization of the patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome, even with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is safe, feasible and beneficial for the patient. Bedside cyclo-ergometry has been associated with a reduction in the degree of sarcopenia, contributing to the recovery of the critically ill patient. Several studies document that bed cyclo-ergometry is safe and feasible in critically ill patients within the first week of admission to intensive care, but few clinical trials exist.
This was an experimental clinical trial, Aim: To evaluate the role of early use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in management of moderate to severe Coronavirus disease 2019 patients at risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, enrolled patients are randomized into two equal groups;Non- CPAP group and CPAP group. Non-CPAP group will receive medical treatment plus oxygen therapy according to recommendation of protocol of the Egyptian Ministry of Health 2020 and CPAP group as in Non-CPAP group plus using CPAP.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic present important diagnostic challenges. Point-of-care tests that detect SARS-CoV-2 antigen have the potential to allow earlier detection and isolation of confirmed cases compared to PCR-based diagnostic methods, and could be implemented at Ports of Entry (PoE) to screen low-prevalence populations effectively.This study will assess the performance of available antigen Ag-RDTs such as the Panbio and Standard Q SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests. Approximately 15,000 subjects entering Botswana at Ports of Entry will be enrolled over a 6-months period or more. SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR will be used as a reference standard. A subset of participants will also be contacted, re-evaluated and re-tested at 48-72 hours following initial assessment, to assess for the impact of incubating infection on the performance of the Ag-RDTs. In order to assess the impact of viral genetic variability on test performance, genomic sequencing will be part of the study. All SARS-CoV-2 PCR positive samples will undergo genomic sequencing to determine the virus lineages or variants. In addition to assessing the performance of each of the Ag-RDTs, a set of testingalgorithms that could be implemented at Ports of Entry, including the sequential use of multiple Ag-RDTs with or without RT-PCR confirmation, will be assessed.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effectiveness of intranasal-administered Chlorpheniramine Maleate in COVID-19-positive participants as part of early treatment for COVID-19. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the efficacy of nasal spray with Chlorpheniramine (0.4%) for improving clinical recovery in COVID-19 patients. - To assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of nasal spray with Chlorpheniramine (0.4%) as an adjunct to the standard of care in reducing hospitalizations and improving clinical recovery in adult patients with mild COVID-19.
Over the last months, the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute in Bologna, Italy, has drained orthopedic urgencies from all other hospitals in the urban and suburban area. In this context urgencies are defined as fractures and primary or metastatic bone lesions with indication to non-deferrable surgery. A subset of these patients tested positive for SARS CoV 2, either before or after the surgical procedure. Anesthesiological clinical management of covid19 cases is complicated by the consequences of the viral infection on respiratory and cardio-vascular systems, renal function and coagulation. Similarly, management of asymptomatic patients is challenging because of the lack of data on possible specific complications. This study will report a snapshot of our early experience on perioperative clinical management of patients undergoing orthopedic surgery in the presence of SARS CoV 2 infection, ascertained or not at the time of surgery.
This prospective clinical performance study is a non-interventional, multi-center study to evaluate the assay performance of the COVID-19 test using upper respiratory specimens. Prospectively collected nasopharyngeal and anterior nasal swabs will be collected from each participant recruited in the study.
The aim of this work is to study the incidence of diaphragmatic dysfunction after COVID 19 infection and the efficacy of different types of diaphragmatic strengthening exercises on diaphragm muscle function.
The Covixyl-V LAEH Nasal Spray's safety and efficay is clinically tested for use in subjects with COVID-19 infection. A randomized, double-blind, multi-center study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ethyl lauroyl arginate hydrochloride (LAEH) formulation versus a matching placebo formulation administered as a nasal spray to reduce viral load from nasal area of subjects with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Brief Summary: The main objective of this activity is to assess the effectiveness of different messaging strategies (factual, narrative, mixed and a control) to promote COVID-19 adult vaccination.
