Filter by:The use of peri-arrest bolus epinephrine (PBE) has emerged as a rescue strategy for life-threatening hypotension in pediatric intensive care units (ICU) despite scant published data supporting its use in this setting. As optimal dosing of PBE in this population is unclear, we aim to determine if an initial dose of 0.5 mcg/kg versus 1.0 mcg/kg yields differences in hemodynamic outcomes. The EPI Dose Study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, dose-effect trial measuring systolic blood pressure (SBP) before and after PBE is given. We hypothesize that the 1.0 mcg/kg group will have more robust increases in SBP.
Hypotension (IDH) during dialysis is a common complication in hemodialysis, and the incidence is 20-50% in hemodialysis patients, the proportion of diabetic patients with IDH is 26.7%, which is much higher than that of non-diabetic patients. Currently, there are few studies on the influencing factors and related thresholds of IDH in diabetic patients.A total of 180 eligible patients were selected from Beijing Friendship Hospital, Beijing Nuclear Industry Hospital, Beijing Daxing District People's Hospital, Beijing Zhongneng Jian Hospital. General data of patients were collected. Dialysis prescription Blood pressure biochemical parameters and cardiac color ultrasound parameters were divided into IDH group and non-IDH group according to the incidence of IDH during dialysis Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of IDH, and ROC curve was used to explore the threshold of related factors.
The aim of this study is to determine whether preoperative sarcopenia (low muscle strength/muscle mass) is correlated with time weighted average intraoperative hypotension in patients undergoing minimally invasive pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Cardiac disease in pregnancy is a high-risk condition and a major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity. Although direct or immediate death due to cardiovascular disease is rare, it is an important indirect cause of maternal death worldwide, with an attributable rate of two deaths per 100,000 pregnancies. Cardiovascular physiological changes during pregnancy impose an additional load on the cardiovascular system of women with underlying heart disease which increases morbidity and mortality during pregnancy and at the time of delivery. Among cardiac diseases, Rheumatic Heart Disease is the commonest cardiac disease complicating pregnancy.
Critically ill patients with acute kidney injury and fluid overload who are frequently treated by fluid removal during dialysis are at an increased risk of complications and death. Both slower and faster rates of fluid removal may cause injury to the vital organs. This proposed clinical trial will examine the feasibility of restrictive compared with a liberal rate of fluid removal in order to develop effective treatments for fluid overload and to improve the health of critically ill patients.
This project will focus on a novel approach to stabilizing blood pressure (BP) during inpatient rehabilitation after acute SCI. After SCI, people have unstable blood pressure, ranging from too low (orthostatic hypotension) to too high (autonomic dysreflexia). Unstable BP often interferes with performing effective physical rehabilitation after SCI. A critical need exists for the identification of safe, practical and effective treatment options that stabilize BP after traumatic SCI. Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation (TSCS) has several advantages over pharmacological approaches: (1) does not exacerbate polypharmacy, (2) can be activated/deactivated rapidly, and (3) can be applied in synergy with physical exercise. The study team is asking the key question: "What if applying TSCS earlier after injury could prevent the development of BP instability?" To facilitate adoption of TSCS for widespread clinical use, the study team plans to map and develop a parameter configuration that will result in an easy to follow algorithm to maximize individual benefits, while minimizing the burden on healthcare professionals. This project will provide the foundational evidence to support the feasible and safe application of TSCS in the newly injured population, thereby overcoming barriers to engagement in prescribed inpatient rehabilitation regimens that are imposed by BP instability.
Clinical and biological assessments of volemia are challenging in older patients as they are more likely to present non-typical signs. Point of care ultrasonography (POCUS) using heart and lung exploration is a relevant tool to assess volemia in adults with little data in older adults. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate feasibility of positional POCUS in aging patients. The secondary objectives are to assess the variability of measurements between decubitus and sitting position.
The purpose of study is to verify the predictability of TV Chalange test during laparoscopic abdominal surgery for early postoperative AKI and intra-operative hypotension. .
Bradykinin is a potent vasodilator that is formed by the activation of the kallikrein-kinin system. We and others have shown that bradykinin increased during hemodialysis; however, the role of bradykinin in dialysis-induced hypotension (DIH) has not been evaluated. Preliminary results from a pilot clinical trial showed that bradykinin B2 receptor blockade with icatibant prevents excessive blood pressure during hemodialysis. Thus, in this study, we will test the overarching hypothesis that blockade plasma kallikrein with lanadelumab would ameliorate the reduction of blood pressure during hemodialysis in patients who are prone to DIH. For this purpose, we will conduct a parallel arm, double-blind placebo-controlled trial, using lanadelumab to evaluate the occurrence of
The incidence of intraoperative hypotension was 91%. The increasing incidence of intraoperative hypotension would increase the risk of postoperative complications, such as postoperative arrythmia, stroke or acute kidney injury. Major gastrointestinal surgery is a major surgery. Older patients usually have many comorbidity, such as hypertension or cardiovascular disease. Prevention intraoperative hypotension is an important issue. Hypotension prediction index (HPI) could give the clinician pre-alarm of hypotension (mean arterial pressure (MAP)<65mmHg). In this study, we aimed to investigate whether HPI could prevent the intraoperative hypotension happened in patients receive elective major gastrointestinal surgery with older than 65 years old.
