Filter by:This study uses magnetic resonance imaging to determine whether 3 weeks of repeated exposure to Acute Intermittent Hypoxia can improve brain blood flow or blood flow regulation in healthy adults.
To study the risk of hypoxia in placenta of normal pregnant women infected with covid-19 during third trimester of pregnancy.
In the context of postoperative hypertension in the intensive care units, or after resusitation of hypertensive patients, intravenous antihypertensive drugs are often used. Among those drugs, Nicardipine is an effective drug, but with side effects such as inhibition of pulmonary vasoconstriction. Only preclinical studies have investigated the pathophysiology of this mechanism, and no clinical study have proven its clinical relevance. The aim of this study is to establish the incidence of Nicardipine induced hypoxemia and to compare it to another antihypertensive agent, Urapidil.
The Raydiant Oximetry Sensing System (Lumerah) is a non-invasive fetal pulse oximeter that measures fetal arterial oxygen saturation using safe, non-invasive, transabdominal near-infrared spectroscopy. Lumerah is intended as an adjunct to cardiotocography by detecting decreases in fetal oxygenation.
The number of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continuing to rise, this pandemic is expected to reach 700 million people by 2045. T2DM is a metabolic condition characterized by progressive insulin resistance and chronic hyperglycemia (high blood glucose concentrations). Hyperglycaemia increases the risk of both micro- and macrovascular damage, whilst interventions that reduce blood glucose mitigate this risk. Weight loss, achieved through exercise and dietary modification, is effective at reducing hyperglycaemia. However, despite the clear benefits of exercise and weight loss, diverse psychological, sociological and logistical factors can make it difficult for some individuals with T2DM to initiate, or adhere to, these lifestyle interventions. Alternative approaches to treatment are therefore required. The purpose of this research project is to investigate whether 10-days of overnight exposure to moderate hypoxia is effective at improving blood glucose control in individuals with T2DM and to provide insight into the physiological mechanisms responsible for any beneficial effects.
The overall goal of this project is to better understand the effect of intermittent hypoxia (IH) on sympathetic neuronal discharge patterns in humans, as well as mechanisms that mediate persistent sympathoexcitation with IH.
The major aim is to evaluate accuracy of 2 Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMS) : Dexcom G6® and FreeStyle Libre® in standardized hypoxemia conditions (artificial normobaric hypoxia). Our purpose is to demonstrate the good performance and calibration of these CGM sensors in hypoxemia conditions.
To investigate surgical mask use and high-intensity interval exercise across different environmental conditions.
The purpose of this clinical study is to validate the SpO2 accuracy of the Stryker Sustainability Solutions pulse oximetry sensors during non-motion conditions over the range of 70-100% SaO2 as compared to arterial blood samples assessed by CO-Oximetry. The end goal is to provide supporting documentation for the SpO2 accuracy validation of the reprocessed sensors.
The aim of this project is to test the accuracy of pulse oximeters during mild, moderate and severe hypoxia. This is done by comparing the reading of the pulse oximeter during brief, steady state hypoxia with a gold-standard measurement of blood oxyhemoglobin saturation (arterial blood sample processed in a laboratory hemoximeter). The data obtained is submitted by pulse oximeter manufacturers to the FDA for device approval.
