The goal of this clinical trial Is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of active or sham HD-tDCS in combination with dexmedetomidine in patients with moderate to severe ARDS due to COVID-19 with delirium in intensive care unit (ICU). The hypothesis was that HD-tDCS combined with concomitant dexmedetomidine would reduce delirium rates.
Primary objective The objective of this study is to compare anti-Xa levels obtained with a standard high dose thrombosis prophylaxis in COVID-19 intensive care-patients compared with anti-Xa levels obtained with a normal dose thrombosis prophylaxis in non-COVID-19 intensive care patients. Secondary objectives 1. To determine the incidence of anti Xa levels out of range of the established target anti Xa level in both groups. 2. To determine the influence of relevant co-variates on the anti-Xa level in the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 group.
Difficult airways remain a significant problem in anaesthesia, intensive care and emergency medicine. Simulation-based training gives better outcomes compared to non-simulation and non-intervention education. However, it remains unclear how long the acquired skills are retained and how often simulation training should repeat. The study aimed to investigate the efficacy and skills retention in training for difficult airway management in anaesthesiologists. After ethical committee approval, we conducted a prospective control study at the postgraduate Department of Surgery, Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy (Bogomolets National Medical University) from July to December 2022. Anaesthesiologists who applied for the continuous medical education course "Difficult airways management" were involved in the study. The simulation room included a mannequin Laerdal SimMom Advanced Patient Simulator, vital monitor, anaesthesia station LEON and airway devices. Each volunteer went through two simulation scenarios of difficult airway management: 1) "cannot intubate, can ventilate" (CI), 2) "cannot intubate, cannot ventilate" (CICV) with the assistance of the training centre operator. The primary endpoints included: more than three laryngoscopy attempts; supraglottic airway attempt missing; call for help skip; failure to initiate a surgical airway (for the CICV scenario). Secondary endpoints included: time to call for help; mean duration of desaturation; use of bougie; use of video laryngoscope (Airtraq); mean number of intubation attempts; improper usage of equipment of equipment, time to initiation of surgical airway preparation; time to initiation of surgical airway ventilation.
This study tests a pilot educational sleep intervention for children after critical care hospitalization.
Assessment of Effectiveness of combined high protein intake with early physical exercise by ultrasound measurement of rectus femoris muscle thickness in Intensive Care Unite mechanically ventilated patients.
This research adopts the uniform parallel hybrid research design; The quantitative data and qualitative data were collected at the same time, and then the quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed respectively. Finally, the two data sets were combined. Comprehensive interpretation of the study issues through complementarity and mutual validation of quantitative and qualitative data.
The goal of this research project is to determine if different communication techniques during the consent process impact parental anxiety and comfort providing consent.
Introduction: The SOFA score (Sequential Organ Function Assessment) and its derived measures, such as the Delta SOFA, are used worldwide to determine the severity and prognosis of critically ill patients. Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of standardized interventions on the six organ dysfunctions of SOFA score on outcomes of critically ill patients through the 48-hour delta SOFA with evaluation of the effectiveness of the interventions performed. Result will be correlated with the 28-day mortality. The secondary outcome measures comprised the evaluation of standardized interventions on ICU and hospital length of stay; vasopressor-free and ventilator-free days within the 28 days following ICU admission, through the effectiveness of interventions performed Uni and multivariate statistical analysis will be used to determine organ failures associated to outcome.
In this pilot study we will study the feasibility of providing and following ICU patients with smart technology for three months after discharge from a general ward of the Leiden University Medical Centre.
