Filter by:Activated charcoal (AC) is an established, effective means of gastrointestinal decontamination. Providers give it to patients who have ingested something that is thought to be potentially poisonous to prevent it from being absorbed. However, one limitation to its use is palatability of the AC for the patient, potentially limiting how much, if any, is taken. Other studies have suggested that mixing AC with various substances improves the rating on various scales (taste, etc). An important question is whether mixing the AC with other substance effects the ability of the AC to bind to xenobiotic in the gut. This small study investigates whether mixed cola with charcoal affected its ability to prevent the absorption of acetaminophen. It also performs a survery to see if participants preferred the AC-cola mixture. The investigators hypothesize that the AC will be equally as effective with cola as without. The investigators also hypothesize that participants will prefer the AC-cola mixture.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the impact of local anesthesia in health children who were sedated for dental procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Impact of local anesthesia on sedation depth and hemodynamic parameters - Impact of presence of local anesthesia on the requirement of propofol to maintain deep sedation. Participants were deeply sedated and one group received local anesthesia at the anesthesia induction, while other group of patients received local anesthesia after the maintenance anesthesia was discontinued. If there is a comparison group:
This study will examine if the use of a smartphone application called Thrive4Life Connect can help people who use drugs lower their risk of overdose and learn more about COVID-19 vaccines. 60 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 6 months.
This study will be a Phase 1, single-center, open-label, randomized cross-over study to evaluate the PK of a new AP003 device which delivers two sprays of 4 mg naloxone hydrochloride intranasally.
Propofol is one of the most commonly used anesthetics in the world. However, the dose-response of propofol was remarkable variety. Herein, this study aims to investigate the possible association of gene polymorphism and propofol susceptibility, and to research more precise infusion model of this drug.
The purpose of the Peer Intervention to Link Overdose Survivors to Treatment (PILOT) study is to improve outcomes for individuals after surviving an overdose involving opioids. This study will be comparing the enhanced peer intervention known as PILOT for overdose survivors with treatment as usual (TAU) provided in the Emergency Department.
This study continues the work to develop a mobile breathing monitoring system to detect slowed breathing and overdose events caused by opioid use. This is a single-site feasibility study designed to test the mobile application with a commercially available drug delivery device called the SmartDose by West Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The SmartDose is a wearable self-injection device that can deliver a drug under the skin with a push of a button. Naloxone is a drug used to reverse the effects of opioid drugs in the body. This study will evaluate if the mobile application can wireless trigger the delivery of a small dose of naloxone to a healthy adult volunteer.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of the Empowering Community Pharmacists program on pharmacists' knowledge, perceived barriers, attitudes, confidence, and intentions regarding naloxone services implementation, as well as change in number of naloxone prescriptions dispensed. Methods: A 3-month pragmatic randomized controlled trial was conducted in 2018-2019. Alabama community pharmacists were recruited by email, phone, fax, and mailed postcards and randomized to intervention (monthly resources/reminders + educational webinar) or control (monthly resources/reminders + delayed educational webinar). Outcome measures were assessed via online surveys at baseline (T1), immediately post-intervention (T2), and 3-months post-intervention (T3), including: naloxone knowledge (percent correct); perceived barriers, attitudes, and confidence regarding naloxone services implementation (7-point Likert-type scale, 1=strongly disagree to 7=strongly agree); and number of naloxone prescriptions dispensed. Mean differences between control and intervention groups from T1-T3 were assessed using two-way mixed ANOVA and adjusted analyses were conducted using generalized estimating equations (GEE) with negative binomial distribution (alpha=0.05).
This pilot study evaluates the needs of opioid users for a device-based intervention for opioid overdoses. The results of this one-time short questionnaire will inform development of a novel naloxone delivery device.
The induction dose of propofol is generally determined based on patients' characteristics, underlying disease, general condition, and also by clinician's experiences. However, It is difficult to anticipate and objectively calculate an adequate dose of propofol for every patient considering the variability of an individual's response to propofol. If there is a specific pattern in EEG prior to induction of anesthesia that can provide information about the patient's susceptibility to propofol, every induction may be performed far more smoothly with a precisely optimized dose of propofol for each patient. The study is to find a relationship between the pre-induction EEG pattern of adult patients and their sensitivity to propofol.
