Filter by:The purpose of this study is to better understand how hypoxia (low oxygen) affects resting and exertional right ventricular function in healthy individuals.
The purpose of this clinical study is to validate the SpO2 accuracy of the Stryker Sustainability Solutions pulse oximetry sensors during 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 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.
This trial will assess chemosensitivity differences of the carotid bodies in individuals with T2DM, compared to healthy controls. During baseline and hyperinsulinemia.
This study aimed to identify the effect of oxygen reserve index monitoring on the occurrence of oxygen desaturation (<90%) in pediatric patients undergoing airway surgery.
In recent years, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress have been implicated in PD pathophysiology. Intermittent hypoxia therapy (IHT) is an upcoming treatment used by elite athletes as well as fragile individuals in clinical settings that works by improving exercise tolerance, neuroplasticity and inducing hypoxic preconditioning (HPC). HPC might improve the oxidative stress response in PD on the long-term. In addition, preclinical evidence suggests beneficial short-term effects such as influence on dopamine and noradrenalin release. Anecdotal evidence indeed suggests that visiting high-altitude areas improves PD symptoms and it is hypothesized that this effect results from decreased oxygen pressure at high altitudes. The safety and feasibility of (intermittent) hypoxia therapy on PD symptoms will be assessed in an exploratory phase I randomized-controlled trial.
Background: Propofol based sedated anesthesia was widely used in percutaneous radiofrequency ablation and hypoxia/desaturation is one of the most frequent adverse events during this procedure. No effective methods have been found to prevent hypoxia/desaturation so far. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the incidence of hypoxia/desaturation was different between the high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy group (which can provide heated and humidified oxygen up to 60L/minute.) and the nasal cannula group. Methods: In a randomized, prospective and double-blind study,100 patients undergo percutaneous radiofrequency ablation based on propofol sedation were assigned into two groups: the nasal cannula group (O2 [6 L/minute] was supplied via an HFNC) and the HFNC group (O2 [40 L/minute] was supplied via an HFNC). The primary outcome is the incidence of hypoxia/desaturation during surgery. Other adverse events were also recorded.
For almost a century, many hypotheses have converged on the idea of altered chemosensitivity in patients suffering from hyperventilation syndrome (HVS). Given the evolution of current technical equipment and the ability to maximise true positives in HVS ( using the revised hyperventilation provocation test), it seems reasonable to investigate central and peripheral chemosensitivities in HVS subjects.
This study uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging to image the brain and spinal cord before and after an Intermittent Hypoxia intervention. Acquiring these scans in patients with chronic cervical spinal cord injury and uninjured controls will enable characterization of changes in neurovascular physiology caused by this promising new therapy.
The primary objective of the study is to prospectively and randomly compare the incidence, duration, and severity of oxygen desaturation between a nasal mask with nasal positive airway pressure (PAP) versus oxygen therapy with a facemask during procedural deep sedation in patients considered high risk for hypoxia (ie: BMI ≥30 kg/m2 or documented Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
