View clinical trials related to Inhalation Injury.
Filter by:Inhalation injury is a composite of multiple insults including: supra glottic thermal injury, subglottic airway and alveolar poisoning, and systemic poisoning from absorbed small molecule toxins. These contaminant insults independently affect each of the pulmonary functions as well as having a direct effect on systemic physiology. Further, anatomic characteristics can predispose patients to inhalation injury. For example, an infant will develop airway obstructions much faster than an adult due to reduced airway diameter. Understanding the contributions of each of these pathologies to the patient's disease is critical to managing inhalation injury. Wii fit aerobic training gives similar results with traditional rehabilitation practices, it causes less energy costs. This suggests that it can be a suitable rehabilitation tool for adult and elderly people with low energy levels. A review showed that video games are safe and feasible in the children with lung complications. Children' balance, aerobic and cognitive functions, quality of life improved and depressive mood decreased. WII aerobic games also make children to communicate better with other family members.
Sixty patients with 25-45 years of age presenting post burn inhalation injury, randomly distributed into two equal groups, 30 patients for each group. control group receive conventional chest physiotherapy (diaphragmatic respiratory exercises, apical breathing exercises) for (15-20) minutes 3times/week and medical treatment for 4 weeks as a total period of treatment. study group will receive pilates exercise in addition to their conventional chest physiotherapy for (15-20) minutes 3times/week and medical treatment for 4 weeks as a total period of treatment, computerized spirometer assessment before treatment are ( The following variables were measured: forced vital capacity (PVC%) and forced ·expiratory volume in one second (FEVl %) and peak expiratory flow (PEF %)and after one month
The goal of this observational study is to profile the circulating immunological traits of patients with traumatic lung injury (TLI) and inhalation injury (ILI),providing a new direction for the depth research of the pathogenesis, and providing new immune-related targets for diagnosis of the severity of lung injury and treatment. The investigators performed scRNA-seq of neutrophil and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 10 ml fresh circulating blood from 3 patients with TLI and 3 patients with ILI at longitudinal timepoints,as well as peripheral blood from 3 health controls(HCs).
A major risk factor for death in burn victims is inhalation lung injury. Diagnostic criteria and severity grading are not well understood. After an inhalation injury, the mucociliary escalator is impaired by induced mucosal hyperemia, which includes Edema, increased mucous production, and airway exudation, and these insults worsen airway narrowing which interferes with ventilation. Multimodal therapy and quick bronchoscopic diagnosis improve patient outcomes. Early identification and classification of inhalation injuries improve patient outcomes. Chest CT may be employed as an alternative to or supplement to the bronchoscopy as well as a diagnostic and prognostic tool. In this study, the diagnostic and prognostic value of bronchial wall thickening as a radiological CT finding in inhalation lung damage and the radiologist score (RADS) were evaluated.
this study designed to examine the effect of Acu-TENS applied bilaterally on Ding Chuan acupoint to boost pulmonary functions, improve diaphragmatic excursion and decrease dyspnea in patients with inhalation injuries.
Inhalation burn injury and lung complications caused by large surface burns occurring during a fire remains a serious problem. Pulmonary rehabilitation has been used successfully to improve pulmonary function(PF) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. But there were no studies that pulmonary rehabilitation induce improvements in PF in patient with large surface burn and inhalation injury. The investigators will performe pulmonary function and respiratory muscles strength evaluation in 40 patients with thermal injury in order to evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with thermally injury.
The goal of this multicenter study is to develop a standardized scoring system for inhalation injury that can be used both to quantify and predict injury severity inhalation injury in adults over 18 years of age. A model will be developed based on clinical, radiographic, bronchoscopic, and biochemical parameters that will predict the severity of inhalation injury with greater than 80% predictive accuracy
The investigators hypothesize that the scheduled use of bronchoscopy on a regular basis after inhalation injury in burn patients will improve outcome by providing pulmonary hygiene, decrease the incidence of pneumonia, and detect pneumonia earlier than standard treatment without bronchoscopy.
