Filter by:To evaluate the benefits of combining Doppler measurements of placental/fetal blood vessels with computerized cardiotocography (quantitative cardiotocogrpahy - qCTG) in the detection of fetal hypoxia (pH < 7.20) among late-onset growth restricted (SGR) fetuses
Performance testing of pulse oximeters. The protocol involves brief stable arterial oxygen desaturation in healthy volunteers and sampling arterial blood when a stable level of hypoxia has been attained. The blood sample is analyzed for oxygen saturation with a gold standard bench CO-oximeter. This protocol is aligned with the latest ISO and FDA guidance documents for pulse oximeter testing.
The purpose of this observational research study is to examine how point-of care ultrasound affects the workup and management of perioperative complications for specific clinical scenarios of low blood pressure (hypotension), low blood oxygen (hypoxemia), in the post- anesthesia care unit (PACU).
This study evaluates whether tumors present in patients with cancer who are planned to get CAR T-cells have low amounts of oxygen (hypoxia). PET scans may be used to check the amounts of oxygen within areas of cancer with a special radioactive tracer called FAZA that specifically looks for areas of low oxygen. This study is being done to help researchers determine how the amount of oxygen within areas of cancer affect how well CAR T-cells kill cancer cells.
The purpose of this study is to retrospectively review clinical data to determine whether awake proning improves oxygenation in spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19 severe hypoxemic respiratory failure.
To determine whether the use of oxygen hoods as compared to conventional high-flow oxygen delivery systems, and the effects on oxygenation, mechanical ventilation and mortality rates in hypoxic patients with COVID-19.
Patients and methods: It is a prospective double blind study done on total 300 patients. Admitted with respiratory failure ARDS due to severe lung contusion. All of them selected to be ventilated for one week or more. Patients were randomly allocated in one of three groups each group contain 100 patients. Group A considered control extubated and follow our routine protocol, patients of group B reconnected to mechanical ventilation before extubation for one hour. patients of Group C extubated and immediately connected to NIV with BIPAP mode for 1 hour every 12 hours for 24 hours. Results: There was significant reduction in the number of patients had deterioration in conscious level in all the duration of the study in patients of both groups B and C compared to group A. Also significant reduction in the number of patients had deterioration in clinical parameters of respiration in all the duration of the study in patients of both groups B and C compared to group A as regards high respiratory rate, desaturation and development of hyperdynamic circulation (tachycardia and hypertension). significant reduction in the number of patients had multiple quadrant parenchymatous infiltration in all the duration of the study in patients of both groups B and C compared to group A. significant reduction in the number of patients had marked limitation to FEV1, FVC and MVV in all the duration of the study in patients of both groups B and C compared to group A. Conclusion: Use of either NIV every 12 hours for 24 hours or MV for one hour after fulfillment of weaning criteria reduces reintubation and post-extubation respiratory failure and decrease the ICU stay in critically ill patients with resolving ARDS due to severe lung trauma.
To improve the safety of diagnosis and therapy for a set of conditions and undifferentiated symptoms for hospitalized patients, the investigators will employ a set of methods and tools from the disciplines of systems engineering, human factors, quality improvement,and data analytics to thoroughly analyze the problem, design and develop potential solutions that leverage existing current technological infrastructure, and implement and evaluate the final interventions. The investigators will engage the interdisciplinary care team and patient (or their caregivers) to ensure treatment trajectories match the anticipated course for working diagnoses (or symptoms), and whether they are in line with patient and clinician expectations. The investigators will use an Interrupted time series (ITS) design to assess impact on diagnostic errors that lead to patient harm. The investigators will perform quantitative and qualitative evaluations using implementation science principles to understand if the interventions worked, and why or why not.
Comparison the effect of two different mechanical ventilation modes on tissue oxygenization.
This study will compare the impact of the Double-Trunk Mask (DTM) with the Non-Rebreather Mask (NRM) on the blood gases of patients with severe hypoxemia.
