Filter by:This study aims to understand the mechanisms of a novel intervention involving breathing short durations of low levels of oxygen for persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). This intervention with low levels of oxygen is called Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (AIH), the levels of oxygen experienced are similar to breathing the air on a tall mountain, for less than 1 minute at a time. Previous studies have shown that AIH is a safe and effective way to increase strength in persons with MS. Here the investigators aim to look at brain activation and ankle strength before and after AIH to gain a better understanding of how the AIH may improve strength in those persons with MS.
This study aims to analyze if patients with chronic obstructive lung disease who experience a decline of blood oxygen saturation during physical exercise have a disease course different from that of COPD patients who do not experience a decline in blood oxygen saturation during exercise. Patients will be followed for a total of 3 years.
The response to hypoxia is very individual and epending on many aspects, such as the type of training, duration, intensity, or hypoxic stimulus, hypoxia affects the athlete in various ways. The results of this study have shown that 18 days of the LH-TL method does not significantly increase the level of EPO and VEGF in rowers. However, reticulocytes, immature red blood cells, have shown significant differences after 18-d LH-TL between groups. Further research should be carried out to investigate an optimal hypoxic dose and time, which will raise EPO, VEGF, and morphology variables.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the occurrence of hypoxemia (an abnormally low concentration of oxygen in the blood) in trauma patients within the first 24 hours of hospital admission following arrival to a trauma center. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Do trauma patients experience hypoxemia during the initial 24 hours of hospital admission following trauma? - What is the daily distribution of potential hypoxemic episodes? The investigators expect that hypoxemic episodes will be more frequent during the night (20.00-07.59) than during the day (08.00-19.59) An additional pulse oximeter will be attached to the participants, which measures oxygen saturation in the blood during the first 24 hours of hospital admission after trauma.
To overcome the lack of knowledge regarding the impact of different "living low, training high" methods on swimming performance, a 4-week intervention will be carried out to determine and compare the effects of three Repeated Sprints in Hypoxia (RSH) methods with each other and with a control group. Our goal is to characterize and compare the adaptations in swimming performance and in cardiorespiratory, metabolic, and muscle oxygenation responses that can arise after a 4-week training period of RSH and RSH-voluntary hypoventilation (VHL) performed in a ski-ergometer.
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) remain a frequent event after pump-on cardiac surgery and are mostly characterized by postoperative hypoxemia.These complications are significant contributors to prolonged intensive care unit admissions and an escalation in in-hospital mortality rates. The dual impact of general anesthesia with invasive mechanical ventilation results in ventilator-induced lung injury, while cardiac surgery introduces additional pulmonary insults. These include systemic inflammatory responses initiated by cardiopulmonary bypass and ischemic lung damage consequent to aortic cross-clamping. Contributing factors such as blood transfusions and postoperative pain further exacerbate the incidence of PPCs by increasing the permeability of the alveolo-capillary barrier and disrupting mucociliary functions, often culminating in pulmonary atelectasis. Protective ventilation strategies, inspired by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) management protocols, involve the utilization of low tidal volumes (6-8mL/kg predicted body weight). However, the uniform application of low tidal volumes, especially when combined with the multifactorial pulmonary insults inherent to cardiac surgery, can precipitate surfactant dysfunction and induce atelectasis. The role of pulmonary surfactant in maintaining alveolar stability is critical, necessitating continuous synthesis to sustain low surface tension and prevent alveolar collapse. The most potent stimulus for surfactant secretion is identified as the mechanical stretch of type II pneumocytes, typically induced by larger tidal volumes. This background sets the foundation for a research study aimed at assessing the safety and efficacy of incorporating sighs into perioperative protective ventilation. This approach is hypothesized to mitigate postoperative hypoxemia and reduce the incidence of PPCs in patients undergoing scheduled on-pump cardiac surgery.
This is a registry-based, randomized, controlled clinical trial of the effect of added high-flow oxygen therapy (using the device Lumis HFT) during one year in people with long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD).
This study plans to learn more about specific breathing and activity recommendations for patients after surgery. Participants will be monitored after abdominal surgery to identify what activities help them breathe better and reduce complications after surgery.
Hypoxaemia is a major complication during gastrointestinal endoscopy (GIE) procedures (upper/lower) when performed under deep sedation in the procedure room especially with a body mass index above 30 kg/m². The objective of the present work is to compare the use of High-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) with Standard oxygen therapy (SOT) in obese patient undergoing GIE.
The impact of a proprietary training program in normobaric hypoxia on changes in bone turnover markers as well as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in premenopausal women falls within the realm of physical culture for an active and healthy society. Within this context, the implementation of a project is supported aiming to: 1. Monitor, support, and promote physical development, fitness, and physical activity in society, by assessing the effects of a proprietary training program in normobaric hypoxia on changes in bone turnover markers as well as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in premenopausal women. 2. Develop and implement innovative methods, forms, and means of physical activation and training for individuals of various ages, by formulating general assumptions of an endurance-strength training concept under normobaric hypoxia conditions, concerning changes in bone turnover markers as well as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in premenopausal women. 3. Prevent injuries in physical education and sports, by designing a useful training program for osteoporosis prevention as well as for managing carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders in premenopausal women.
