Filter by:Physical activity is a key element in cardiac rehabilitation and prevention of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalizations. After cardiac rehabilitation programs end, physical activity levels and participation in continued cardiac rehabilitation declines. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility a mobile health intervention with text messages and behavior change theory in patients with cardiovascular disease for a duration of 3 months after completion of a cardiac rehabilitation program. An intervention consisting of action planning, text messages, and coordinator support is tested in a feasibility trial design with 40 expected participants.
Randomized-controlled trial and microbiome assessment to understand the risk-to-benefit ratio of prophylactic antibiotics (Ceftriaxone) vs placebo in patients with pneumonia and inflammation after cardiac arrest outside the hospital.
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a public health problem, affecting 50,000 people per year in France. Intervention time (initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced CPR) are associated with a better prognosis. Despite this, the latest published data show a very low overall survival (5%). Our territory has only three centers distributed hospitals with both a 24-hour coronary angiography platform and an intensive care unit. Finally, although 60% of ACEHs receive coronary angiography in the Île de France region, it is performed on only 15% of patients in the Reims University Hospital. Therefore, it seems essential to conduct a study on the reality of the support of ACEH and to study the clinical and biological factors as well as the influence of the geographical distribution of specialized technical platforms on the prognosis of patients.
This is a before-and-after study examining the impact of real-time ventilation monitoring during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Study investigators will compare ventilation quality (rate, volume) performed during the resuscitation without the real-time feedback (before phase), to ventilation quality with the use of real-time feedback using the Zoll Accuvent device (after phase).
A prospective observational study aiming to monitor core temperature via an esophageal probe in out of hospital cardiac arrest during transport and until arrival in hospital. Insertion of an esophageal temperature probe will be done on scene during ongoing resuscitation manoeuvres based on European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2015 (or newer). Environmental temperature influence and hypothermia prevention interventions will be monitored.
The general objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact and safety of focused, point-of-care transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) used during the evaluation of critically-ill patients in the emergency and intensive care settings. The target population for this study are critically-ill patients over the age of 18 who as part of their routine clinical care are receiving a focused TEE. The primary objective of this study is to determine the clinical impact and safety of TEE performed during the evaluation of critically-ill patients in the emergency department and intensive care settings. The secondary objective(s) of this study are to characterize the use of this imaging modality in the subsets of critically-ill patients in shock and cardiac arrest; including but not limited to; description of the frequency of studies, clinical indications, clinician characteristics, echocardiography findings, timing of studies, procedure-related complications and patient outcomes.
Studies have shown that early prevention and warning of cardiac arrest, rapid implementation of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and strengthening of organ function protection after resuscitation are the keys to reducing the occurrence of cardiac arrest and improving the prognosis of patients. However, there are still many problems in the field of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in my country: 1) lack of effective prevention and early self-rescue system for cardiac arrest; 2) traditional resuscitation techniques implemented in pre-hospital and emergency rooms and poor results; 3) organs after resuscitation Insufficient protection means and effects. In our early stage, focusing on the above key issues, the study found that 5G technology can help high-risk emergency events including early warning, early detection and first aid of cardiac arrest. Aortic balloon occlusion can significantly improve the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Transesophageal and CRRT cooling Can significantly optimize the organ protection intensity of therapeutic hypothermia. On the basis of the preliminary work, this project will carry out the research and development and clinical application of a series of new technologies for cardiac arrest warning and resuscitation, and work hard to help with cardiac arrest. Early warning and treatment of cases provide a set of optimized diagnosis and treatment technical solutions, which has important scientific, clinical and social significance.
The mortality and neurological outcomes among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors have not improved despite the medical advances. The whole body ischemia/reperfusion injuries after cardiac arrest mainly damaged the brain. To improve the neurologic outcome among those patients, additional interventions would be warranted. The investigators hypothesize that the combined use of cortisol, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and thiamine during the early post-resuscitation period would attenuate the whole-body ischemia/reperfusion injuries among the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors treated with targeted temperature management.
The goal of this study is to measure survival rates associated with patients presenting in cardiac arrest based on their electrocardiographic rhythm and their echocardiographic rhythm. Electrocardiographic rhythm is defined as the rhythm on the ECG and echocardiographic rhythm is the rhythm visualized on bedside ultrasound. Specifically, we will categorize patients based on identical rhythms and dichotomous rhythms with an interest in outcomes in the patient group where their echocardiographic and electrographic rhythms do not match. This is important as current ACLS protocols use electrocardiographic rhythms to determine therapy but limited research implies that therapeutic decisions based on echocardiographic rhythm may produce increased survival. This study will occur during emergency department resuscitation of patients presenting in cardiac arrest. Patients presenting to the emergency department after cardiac arrest will undergo standard resuscitation based on ACLS protocols. Ultrasound imaging will be performed as soon as possible after the patient arrives and digitally recorded, as is currently the standard of care at the institute. Simultaneous recording of the ECG rhythm strip will occur as well. This will be repeated for as many pauses in CPR as is warranted. Each site will record data based on the Utstein nomenclature including patient demographics, arrest details and survival outcomes. Ultrasound images and ECG recordings will be de-identified and submitted to a central database. Data will be uploaded into a centralized database. Statistical analysis will analyze outcomes based on echocardiographic and sonographic findings. Our aim is to measure the survival benefit of treating out of hospital cardiac arrest using echocardiographic rhythm instead of electrocardiographic rhythm.
In patients with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac arrest who achieves Return Of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) The investigators want to evaluate whether there is a benefit from acute Angiography compared to subacute (12-24 hours) Angiography
