Filter by:Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride), a classical crystalloid solution, is widely used to maintain fluid balance, volume resuscitation and dilute drugs during clinical practice. However, the chloride concentration of normal saline (154mmol/L) is much higher than human plasma, and a large amount of infusion may lead to iatrogenic hyperchloremia in ICU patients. In contrast, the concentrations of Multiple electrolytes II is more similar to those of plasma and is considered to be a better fluid choice than normal saline.
In recent years, with the development of medical technology and materials and instruments, flow diverter (FD) has gradually become the most important treatment method for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IA). It is a revolutionary treatment method, which has changed the concept of endovascular treatment of IA, and turned the previous endovascular embolization to the reconstruction of the parent artery. At present, FD has been used in more than 250,000 cases worldwide, and the overall 1-year complete occlusion rate of aneurysms can reach 75%-85.5%. However, although the current imaging prognosis of FD is encouraging, the perioperative complications of FD are as high as 12.9%, including ischemic complications, SAH, and parenchymal hemorrhage in 7.3%, 2.0%, and 2.0%, respectively. The postoperative mortality was 1.5%, of which 1.3% were caused by delayed aneurysm rupture, distal parenchymal hemorrhage and PED-related nerve compression symptoms. In addition, an in-stent stenosis of more than 50% within one year has been reported in 10.2 to 15.0% of patients. However, in addition to conventional dual antibody therapy, there is no relevant guideline recommendation or clinical evidence on how to prevent complications after FD implantation in IA patients. Atorvastatin is widely used in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Its main effect is to improve the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events by reducing blood lipids. Although the mechanism of clinical benefit of lipid-lowering by atorvastatin is not completely clear, a large number of clinical evidence has shown that atorvastatin can also reverse atherosclerosis, stabilize plate, reduce inflammation, reverse vascular endothelial dysfunction and reduce microthrombosis. It can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease and internal carotid artery stenosis after stent implantation in different degrees. However, there is no high-quality clinical evidence for the use of atorvastatin in intracranial aneurysm stent implantation. Previous retrospective studies have shown that atorvastatin is the only protective factor for in-stent restenosis after flow diverter implantation in intracranial aneurysms. In a retrospective observational study involving 273 patients empirically treated with atorvastatin for unruptured IA in our center, the median follow-up period was 7.6 months. The incidence of cerebrovascular events was 3.27%, and the incidence of more than 50% in-stent stenosis was 8.4%, which was significantly lower than the incidence of related events reported at home and abroad. Therefore, this study planned to conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial to confirm the efficacy and safety of oral atorvastatin in the prevention of cerebrovascular adverse events after stent implantation in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms, and to provide objective evidence for the treatment decision of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms to prevent cerebrovascular adverse events after flow diverter implantation.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to assess the effectiveness and performance of Methinks AI stroke imaging software platform in acute Code Stroke patients, and as a comparator to study sites utilizing existing AI imaging stroke platforms. The main question[s] it aims to answer is: • Performance of and outcomes associated with the use of the Methinks AI stroke imaging medical device in real-world clinical practice.
Oxidative stress is one of the main mechanisms causing harm in severe infection with septic shock, ischemia-reperfusion injury in resuscitated cardiac arrest and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Melatonin is a potent scavenger of the mediators of oxidative stress, oxygen and nitrogen-reactive species, which directly injure cell structures like walls and DNA and thus cause organ dysfunction. In a previous study we have observed that high-dose oral bedtime melatonin (OBM) is associated with improved organ function in severe Covid-19 patients
Severe trauma, head trauma, stroke and resuscitated cardiac arrest patients requiring endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are at high risk of early-onset ventilator-associated pneumonia (EO-VAP). A short course of systemic antibiotic is recommended for prophylaxis. This study intends to assess the safety and efficacy of 2 alternative mechanical non-invasive airway clearance techniques in the prevention of EO-VAP in an open label randomized pilot trial of 20 subjects per study group i.e., 60 cases. The interventions will be in place for 7 days and the observational periods will be 14 days.
Most stroke patients are initially evaluated at the closest hospital but some need to be transferred to a hospital that can provide more advanced care. The "Door-In-Door-Out" (DIDO) process at the first hospital can take time making transferred patients no longer able to get the advanced treatments. This study will help hospitals across the US "stand up" new ways to evaluate stroke patients, decide who needs to be transferred, and transfer them quickly for advanced treatment.
The overall goal of this project is to determine if machine learning and analysis of neurospecific biomarkers can enable early detection of upcoming or ongoing cerebral ischaemia in patients suffering from subarachnoid haemorrhage with altered consciousness due to cerebral injury or sedation. Analyses of heart rate variability, electroencephalgraphy,nearinfrared spectroscopy, cerebral autoregulation, and brain injury specific biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid will be performed.
Neurovascular diseases can cause ischaemic or haemorrhagic strokes. While the most common, such as atherosclerosis are widely studied, others are less well known, such as arterial dissections or cerebral angiopathies. What's more, most studies are limited to a few years' follow-up and the longer-term evolution of patients is less well assessed. Patient follow-up data available in routine practice and specific enrollment through the headache emergencies of the Lariboisière neurovascular intensive care unit (USINV) could provide a particularly rich resource.
Consecutive patients accessing the emergency department with suspected stroke dispatch will be recruited at 3 study units: 1) ASL Abruzzo 1, hospitals of L'Aquila and Avezzano; 2) ASL Abruzzo 2, hospital of Chieti; 3) IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital of Milan. Anonymized clinical and low-field (LF) MRI data as well as conventional neuroimaging data will be independently assessed by external units (Università Politecnica delle Marche and Policlinico di Messina, respectively). Both units will independently adjudicate the best treatment option, while the latter will also provide historical MRI data of stroke patients to develop artificial intelligence algorithms facilitating LF-MRI images interpretation (Libera Università di Bolzano). Agreement with conventional neuroimaging will be evaluated at different time points (hyperacute, acute -24 h, subacute -72 h, discharge, chronic -4 weeks). Further investigations will include feasibility study to develop an ambulance (mobile stroke unit) equipped with LF-MRI and cost-effectiveness analysis of LF-MRI. This trial will provide necessary data to validate the use of LF-MRI in the acute stroke care.
This multicenter observational study will explore the risk factors of early neurological deterioration(END) in patients with primary and to investigate the association between END and outcome.
