Filter by:To gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of intraoperative hypocapnia, in particular the associations of intraoperative hypocapnia with patient demographics, ventilator characteristics, and perioperative complications we will perform an individual patient-level meta-analysis of two recent randomized clinical trials of intraoperative ventilation, the 'PROtective Ventilation using High versus LOw PEEP trial' (PROVHILO), and the 'Protective intraoperative ventilation with higher versus lower levels of positive end-expiratory pressure in obese patients trial' (PROBESE).
This research study is being done to evaluate the effectiveness of using the sharpened Romberg test to screen for impaired postural control in patients with impaired or altered breathing patterns.

Hyper Ventilation Syndrome is a frequent disease affecting adults whose diagnosis is often belated or even unrecognized due to the lack of "gold standard" criteria. Its diagnosis currently relies on the Nijmegen score associated with a PetCO2 assesment using a hyperventilation provocation test. Correlation between Nijmegen Questionnaire scores and PetCO2 appears highly variable. PtcCO2 monitoring is a noninvasive alternative method providing a continuous estimation of arterial CO2 pressure (PaCO2) which could represent an advantageous alternative to PetCO2 measurements. Several reports have demonstrated that PtcCO2 monitoring reflects more faithfully PaCO2 than PetCO2, no study have evaluated its value in this indication. The primary aim of the study is to compare the diagnostic value of PtcPCO2 monitoring with PetCO2, the method currently used. Included patient will be invited to fill in the Nijmegen questionnaire and an ambient air gas measurement will be performed. PtcCO2 (mmHg) will be simultaneously measured during hyperventilation test. Nijmegen score signs reproduced by the test will be analysed. HVS diagnosis will be assessed by usual criteria (PetCO2 <30 mmHg at the end of hyperventilation test or under the PetCO2 value at rest, Nijmegen score> 23). PtcCO2 data will be blinded interpreted later. We will compare if PetCO2 and PtcCO2 leads to the same diagnosis or not.
This is a Phase I, open-label, single center trial to evaluate the feasibility and safety of low concentration CO2 gas mixture (5% CO2 + 95% air) inhalation in asphyxiated, cooled, mechanically ventilated newborns at risk of hypocapnia with The hypothesis is that hypocapnia, which is driven by hyperventilation in the presence of metabolic acidosis, is deleterious to the injured brain and can be safely avoided with low concentration CO2 inhalation.
Abdominal surgery commonly requires perioperative relaxation and therefore controlled mechanical ventilation. However, respiratory support can be associated with minor, yet clinically significant changes in blood gas content. The inadvertent hyperoxia (excessively high oxygen) and/or hypocapnia (excessively low carbon dioxide) can result in transient changes in cerebral blood flow and cognitive impair.
