Filter by:During surgery high concentrations of supplementary oxygen are routinely administrated. However, there is increasing evidence of potential harm with liberal oxygen therapy. The hypothesis of the present study is that oxygen therapy adjusted to a normal arterial oxygen target is feasible and will attenuate the side effects of supplementary oxygen therapy. The study design is a before-and-after study in which 25 patients will follow the standard regime with high concentrations of oxygen therapy and 25 patients will be treated with oxygen to achieve a normal value of arterial oxygenation.
The present study aims to investigate whether FLIO can also detect shorttime changes in retinal metabolism induced by hyperoxia and hypoxia. For this purpose, 48 healthy subjects will be included in the present study and changes in FLIO will be assessed during breathing of 100% oxygen to induce hyperoxia as well as during breathing of 12% oxygen in nitrogen to induce hypoxia. Since stimulation with flickering light also induces a higher metabolic demand in the retina (functional hyperemia), thisprovocation test will also applied during breathing of the different gas mixtures and compared to baseline. To gain information about retinal blood flow, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) will be performed. The results of the present study can help to gain more insight into the physiology of the retinal metabolism and might give grounds to establish new biomarkers in future studies.
Rational: Preoxygenation is a standard procedure before (deep) sedation in the ED. However, there is literature suggesting that too much oxygen can be harmful. One potential detrimental effect is a decrease in cardiac output due to coronary vasoconstriction. So far, it is unknown if this effect is rate dependent and if it also occurs after only a short period of hyperoxia, as patients experience during procedural sedation pre-oxygenation. Objective: To investigate if hyperoxia has a negative effect on Cardiac index (CI) in patients undergoing procedural sedation in the ED.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the potential therapeutic role of hyperoxia when applied in the immediate ischemic period following a stroke in the controlled Emergency Department setting. The study will evaluate the effects of hyperoxia in stroke patients on the production of markers of free radical damage and inflammatory markers associated with hyperoxic lung injury.
Premature infants often receive respiratory support and supplemental oxygen for a prolonged period of time during their admission in the NICU. While maintaining the oxygen saturation within a narrow target range is important to prevent morbidity, manual oxygen titration can be very challenging. Automatic titration by a controller has been proven to be more effective. However, to date the performance of different controllers has not been compared. The proposed randomized crossover trial Comparing Oxygen Controllers in Preterm InfanTs (COCkPIT) is designed to compare the effect on time spent within target range. The results of this trial will help determining which algorithm is most successful in controlling oxygen, improve future developments in automated oxygen control and ultimately reduce the morbidity associated with hypoxemia and hyperoxemia.
The aim of this study is to evaluate if automated adjustment of oxygen (with FreeO2 device) can reduce the hospital length of stay for acute exacerbation of COPD with comparison of manual oxygen titration.
Prospective analysis included patients, 18 years or older, scheduled for 60 daily HBOT sessions between 2016-2018. Each session was 90 min of 100% oxygen at 2 ATA with 5 minutes air breaks every 20 min, five days per week. Pulmonary functions,measured at baseline and after HBOT,included forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF).
The aim of the study is to examine if automated oxygen delivery with O2matic allows for faster weaning from oxygen and better oxygen control than manually controlled oxygen therapy for patients admitted with an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Furthermore it will be tested if O2matic compared to manual control allows for faster discharge from hospital. Patients sense of security, anxiety and dyspnea will be evaluated by questionnaires.
The investigator's research proposal is a randomized controlled study evaluating two different monitoring strategies to titrate FiO2 in order to rapidly and safely achieve optimal SatO2 targets during early ROSC of non-traumatic OHCA in adults. Primary hypothesis: Monitoring transport to hospital of sustained ROSC of OHCA patients using multiple wavelength detectors that allow ORI continuous measurement will reduce hyperoxia and hypoxia burden associated with transport. Secondary hypothesis: Multiple wavelength detectors allowing ORI continuous measurement will reduce hyperoxia at ER admission as measured via blood gas analysis. Tertiary study hypothesis: Multiple wavelength detectors allowing ORI continuous measurement will reduce reperfusion neuronal injury measured through NSE levels at 48h post ROSC
NBO is a nonpharmacological measure of neuroprotection. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the safety and efficiency of NBO（Normobaric hyperoxia) in the acute ischemic stroke patients who received endovascular treatment. Looking for more clinical evidence for the ischemic stroke patients who will be treated with NBO in the future.
