Filter by:The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility, fidelity and acceptability of an aquatic therapy assessment and intervention for children ages 3-9 with neuromotor deficits such as cerebral palsy. The intervention takes place in a warm water therapy pool, twice a week for ten weeks and targets swim safety skills, upper extremity function and self care participation and performance.
The primary aim of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to determine feasibility of the proposed pulmonary rehabilitation intervention.
The current work aims to: The primary aim in this study was to identify the contribution of maternal, pregnancy, birth and neonatal factors to encephalopathic features in new born infants. The secondary aim of this study is to reduce the burden on the country by decreasing the rate of neonatal encephalopathy, decreasing the different grades of neurodevelopmental impairment and improvement the quality of life.
The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of devices called pulse oximeters, which measure blood oxygen by shining light through fingers, ears or other skin, without requiring blood sampling. Study will be used with patients at rest.

Hypoxia and reduced oxygen partial pressure is commonly occurring after abdominal surgery. This study aims to investigate whether similar changes also occur after breast cancer surgery. Inclusion: 60 women undergoing breast cancer surgery. Exclusion: Dementia or cognitive impairment that makes it impossible to participate in the study. Arterial blood gas and lung function are undertaken before surgery and the day after surgery
This study intends to further reveal the effectiveness of intermittent hypoxia in preventing acute hypoxic injury.
Healthcare systems around the world have been dealing with COVID 19. One of the main manifestations of this infection is lung involvement of varying degrees, causing a spectrum of diseases from mild lower respiratory tract infection to severe Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). One of the important clinical parameters is to detect hypoxia early in order to initiate a higher level of care at the earliest. The presence of silent or latent hypoxia has made this task difficult in COVID 19. Besides, critical findings such as silent hypoxia that is not at rest but triggered by effort can be revealed by some practical field tests such as the 6-minute walk test or the 1-minute chair sit and stand test. Moreover, these simple tools also help to investigate the patient's readiness for discharge. In this way, it will be useful to evaluate their usability in discharge decisions or in determining the post-discharge cardiopulmonary reserves of the patients and therefore their rehabilitation needs. Although walk and performance tests can be performed naturally, safely and simply, more similarly to movements in daily living activities compared to cardiopulmonary exercise tests, the interest in these tests has increased over the years, especially in subjects such as exercise capacity, mortality and morbidity expectation, or oxygen desaturation in patients with chronic cardiopulmonary pathology. The number of studies in 19 patients is quite limited. For this reason, the necessity of new studies on different field tests to detect the presence of latent hypoxia, which expresses the oxygen desaturation triggered by effort, and to evaluate the exercise tolerance status before discharge, has been emphasized in recent reviews.The aim of this study is to determine the presence of silent hypoxia, which expresses the oxygen desaturation triggered by effort, in Covid-19 patients and to compare the different short-term walk and performance tests, which the investigators consider easier and applicable in the conditions of the pandemic environment, with the classical gold standard test ( Six minute walk test) in order to evaluate the exercise tolerance status of the patients before discharge.
The goal of this four-part preclinical [I-II] and clinical [III-IV] trial is to compare, with randomised crossover study design [I-IV], a new medical airway device with standard procedure (biteblock or no device) for upper airway patency during sedation with intravenous propofol [I-IV]. - Page 1 of 9 [DRAFT] - The two main questions it aims to answer are if this new airway device is superior to standard procedure with respect to - maintenance of spontaneous ventilation [I] and upper airway volumes [II] at moderate and deep steady-state levels of sedation in healthy volunteer study participants, and - fewer and less lasting bedside signs of respiratory depression [III-IV], and less adjuvant use of manual airway support [III-IV] during procedural sedation (PS) according to standard of care(SOC) in study patients scheduled for colonoscopy or ureteral catheterisation under PS. Owing to the crossover study design used throughout the trial, there are no comparison groups of study participants [I-II] or study patients [III-IV].
High frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), as an ideal lung protection ventilation method, has been gradually applied to neonatal intensive care treatment, and is currently recommended as a rescue method for neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after failure of conventional mechanical ventilation. Although its ability to improve oxygenation and enhance carbon dioxide (CO2) clearance has been repeatedly demonstrated in laboratory studies, its impact on the clinical results of these patients is still uncertain. Noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) combines the advantages of HFOV and non-invasive ventilation, and has become the current research focus in this field. It is recommended to use it after the failure of routine non-invasive ventilation treatment to avoid intubation. For the treatment of intubation, there is still a lack of large-scale clinical trials to systematically explore its efficacy. The gradual increase of clinical application of nHFOV has also enriched its application in the treatment of other diseases. At present, non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation has not been applied to the study of adult COVID-19 with acute hypoxemia, which will be the first study in this field.
