Filter by:• The purpose of this study is to investigate which physiological process that controls normal human body homeostasis is affected by low levels of acute hypoxic exposure and whether there is a difference in those physiological processes and simulated flight performance between a rapid and ramp hypoxic exposure. To accomplish this, pilot analogs will be exposed to normoxic, simulated 8,000 ft (2438 m), simulated 12,000 ft (3658 m), and a ramp exposure breathing at simulated 8,000 ft for 5 minutes before ascending to simulated 12,000 ft while flying in a flight simulator. During the flight simulator, participants will need to accomplish three tasks: 1) Maintaining an altitude of 5,000 ft of elevation while performing a mental math test, 2) Flying the aircraft through the center of a series of 7 targets, and 3) Taking off and flying the aircraft a short distance to land on the center of an indicated target. Physiological measures of heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure (BP), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), electrodermal activity (EDA), and neck neuromuscular activity using electromyography (EMG) will be measured for this study. Along with questionnaires to assess hypoxic symptoms, simulator sickness, and self-perceived workload for each task
This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of intermittent hypoxia treatment in patients with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.
The oximeter is an instrument for monitoring patients receiving oxygen therapy. It displays pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), which is a reflection of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). An accurate SpO2 value is essential for optimal management of the O2 flow delivered to patients. Several factors can influence this measurement and the choice of ventilatory support: the type of oximeter used, skin pigmentation and the oxygenation goal. The objective of our study is to evaluate the impact of the oxygenation goal and the oximeter used on oxygen flows in patients with COPD (or with hypercapnia, or at risk of hypercapnia) and in patients without COPD (in particular pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis and other pathologies) Our hypothesis is that the SpO2 target and oximeter used will have an impact on oxygen flows and that these effects will be synergistic in these different populations.
To investigate the role of HIF 1α and LC3B in the pathogenesis of MAP, to evaluate the role of MMP-9 in the antenatal prediction of MAP, and to compare the expression of HIF1α, LC3B, and level MMP-9 between patients of placenta previa with MAP and patients with normal placentation.
Patients who met the inclusion criteria were included and signed an informed consent form, which complied with the requirements of the ethics committee of our unit. All subjects were inpatients. Subjects were randomized into two groups. patients in group A were first treated with HFNC on top of conventional treatment, and after 24 hours, patients were treated with non-invasive ventilator-assisted ventilation BiPAP mode until discharge. patients in group B were treated with a non-invasive ventilator on top of conventional treatment, and after 24 hours of treatment, patients were treated with HFNC until discharge. Patient information was collected during treatment.
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 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.
Awake prone positioning has been reported to improve oxygenation for patients with COVID-19. Awake timed and repositioning is a novel method to improve patients' compliance and prolong the prone time. This study aims to explore the impact of timed prone and repositioning on the intubation rate and prognosis of COVID-19 patients with hypoxic respiratory failure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the SpO2 accuracy and performance of the Norbert Device during non-motion conditions over the range of 70-100% SaO2 as compared to arterial blood samples assessed by CO-oximetry for SpO2 validation.
