The study is a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, non-blinded, non-controlled, non-significant risk, single center study enrolling up to 200 healthy adult subjects consented to undergo an apheresis donation procedure. Subjects will be connected to the Zynex Cardiac Monitor, Model 1500 (CM-1500) to characterize changes in the relative index during an apheresis donation procedure.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of a topical sodium bicarbonate lotion on physiological and psychological responses associated with hydration status and fluid balance in humans during passive heat stress. Currently, the ingestion of sodium has been an effective measure for improvements in fluid regulation and hydration status in humans. However, the investigators do not know its regulatory relationship with measurements of fluid balance when supplemented through the skin.
Previous studies have shown that a positive fluid balance was an independent factor of worse prognosis in ICU patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and negative fluid balance has been demonstrated to increase oxygenation index, reduce time under mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay with no noticeable adverse effects. But there is no evidence that faster speed of negative fluid balance would be more beneficial for ARDS patients. So researchers designed the study to prove the effect of negatively fluid balancing speed for ICU patients with ARDS.
ratio of the diameter of inferior vena cava to the diameter of the thoracic aorta (IVC / Ao) depends on the daily balance of fluids.
Administration of intravascular (IV) fluid is the most common emergency department (ED) procedure. IV fluids are integral to increasing effective blood volume and ensuring organ perfusion in patients with volume depletion and dehydration. There are many options of IV fluids providers can use when treating ED patients. Surveys show physicians do not cite an evidence-based reason for selecting the crystalloid IV fluid used; the decision was likely to be influenced by type and location of practice. A gap exists in the current literature, as there is no evidence for the optimal IV fluid choice for the ED patient requiring IV fluid before discharge. Normal saline (NS) is commonly used as an IV fluid replacement in ED patients. However, NS has been associated with increased risk of acidosis and acute kidney injury. This study will use a novel approach of a patient-centered outcome in a non-critically ill population to ascertain the optimal IV fluid for patient quality of recovery. The results of this study will inform provider's IV fluid decisions between NS and LR. More importantly, the results of this study will have the power to improve patient's quality of recovery following IV fluid administration and subsequent ED discharge. ED patients will be recruited, and participants will be randomized to receive one of two IV solutions (Lactated ringer's or normal saline). Participants will answer a survey before and after the intervention to assess their quality of recovery. The post-survey will be administered by phone after ED discharge. Participants will also be contacted by text message one week following their ED visit to gather information on their healthcare utilization.
Extremely low birth weight infants have significant water loss through their skin immediately after birth. This significant fluid loss is because they have large amounts of fluids, have immature skin and large surface area. Loss of fluids is associated with many complications. The investigators hypothesize that application of sterile water to the skin of these infants is associated with decreased fluid requirements in the first week of life , improve skin integrity and decrease some complications of prematurity.
Oximetry monitoring is common practice in patients undergoing anesthesia. PVI continuous evaluation may be a possibility of agility and ease of obtaining accurate information about the state of cardiovascular responsiveness to volume expansion. This prospective and randomized study will try to demonstrate that the assessment of PVI is a simple and cost-saving method as compared to cardiac output or oxygen delivery monitoring technologies. Such a simple approach has therefore the potential for widespread application as it is not routinely feasible for anesthetists to use cardiac output or oxygen delivery monitoring technologies in many institutions, as well as in many countries.
