Filter by:The goal of this prospective randomized controlled clinical trail is to explore the value of integrating continuous cardiac index variability indicators with existing weaning standards to guide perioperative myocardial injury patients weaning. The main question it aims to answer is: whether the introduction of new indicators for weaning standards can improve the success rate of weaning. Treatment that'll be given to participants is: the cardiac index (CI) is continuously monitored from 15-30 minutes prior to the start of the weaning from ventilation. Participants who increase their CI by more than 30% can have their tracheal intubation removed. Researchers will compare the weaning success rate of CI group and control group.
Peripheral arteriopathy disease (PAD) affects 1 million people in France. In its most advanced stage: chronic permanent ischemia also called critical ischemia, the prognosis of patients is burdened with a one-year mortality rate of 30%. Chronic permanent ischemia results from a lack of oxygen supply to the microcirculatory network, responsible for tissue death and the development of trophic disorders. In this context, many studies have focused on the contribution of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, however none demonstrates with certainty its beneficial effect with a heavy set-up for teams and patients. Furthermore, it appears that normobaric oxygen therapy could have its place in this context by temporarily restoring a sufficient level of transcutaneous oxygen. However, even if normobaric oxygen therapy is common practice although empirical for some practitioners, no data demonstrates its real interest. The purpose of this study is therefore to report the proportion, in usual practice, of patients with permanent chronic ischemia of the lower limb(s), benefiting from normobaric oxygen therapy, but also to show the interest of the contribution of this therapy in usual comprehensive management of these patients. This is a pilot study, after which, if the hypothesis is confirmed, it may be proposed to carry out a randomized study, on a large scale, in order to validate the use of normobaric oxygen therapy in the context of chronic permanent ischemia.
Tocilizumab may exert neuroprotective effects in patients with ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular treatment
Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion (ABAO), a condition with a high risk of mortality or disability (up to 80%). The safety and efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in ABAO remains uncertain due to inconsistent evidence from random controlled trials (RCTs). Recent studies have explored the use of MRI in ABAO, this study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of EVT and standard medical therapy (SMT) in the treatment of ABAO within 24 hours of onset. It also aims to explore the feasibility and prognostic value of MRI-based assessment of ABAO infarction using AI image analysis software.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare del Nido and Bretschneider-HTK (HTK) cardioplegia solutions in patients undergoing elective aortic valve replacement. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the del Nido cardioplegia provide better cardioprotection and clinical outcomes than HTK cardioplegia? Participants will receive one of the investigated cardioplegia solutions according to the randomization. Researchers will compare both groups in terms of cardioprotection (described as levels of CK-MB and hsTnI), in-hospital clinical outcomes, biochemical changes in coronary sinus blood and one-year follow-up.
- Prospective, multi-center single-arm observational study - A total of 100 subjects with femoropopliteal artery disease who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included. - Patients will be followed clinically for 24 months after the procedure. - An imaging study (duplex ultrasound, CT or catheter-based angiography) follow-up according to participating hospital's protocol will be performed at 12 months. - Ankle-brachial index, symptom status and presence of stent fracture will be evaluated at 12 months.
This observational multicenter study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the e-tool for selecting patients eligible for SCS for chronic pain caused by one of the four etiologies listed above in the experience of daily clinical practice. The implantation procedure and devices used will be those used in the routine clinical practice of participating centers. Since the study is observational, the use of the e-tool will not replace the routine medical and psychological evaluation in participating centers before SCS implantation. Study Objectives: Primary Objective: Evaluate the degree of agreement/disagreement between the physicians opinion and the e-tool in selecting patients eligible for spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain. Endpoint: Calculation of the probability of disagreement (πD) between the e-tool and the physicians opinion regarding the appropriateness of the intervention. Secondary Objective: Evaluate the ability of the e-tool to classify interventions defined as appropriate and highly likely to succeed; (scores 7-9) at 3 different time points: trial, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up. The proportion of interventions that were successful at the trial implantation in different time points will be compared with the proportion of interventions identified as appropriate and highly likely to succeed by the e-tool. Study Period: 24 months. 12 months of enrollment + 12 months of follow-up. Subjects: Number of subjects to be included: at least 60 (total divided between the two centers) Participating Centers: - Pain Therapy Unit - ICSMaugeri, Pavia - Anesthesia and Pain Therapy SD - Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Pisana Pisa
Vascular rehabilitation for arteriopathy of the lower limbs remains little known in France, despite its good results. There are very few rehabilitation centres, and they are overcrowded and expensive. Outpatient walking rehabilitation is under-used, despite recommendations (4). One of the difficulties is getting patients to adhere to the treatment sufficiently and for a long time. According to the Fédération Française de Musicothérapie (FFM), this is a care practice based on sound or musical mediation with the aim of supporting, accompanying or re-educating a patient. Music is used as a means of expression, communication, structuring and relational analysis.The benefits of music therapy for our bodies and our behavior are numerous, including improvements in cognitive functions (attention, memory), psychomotor functions (agility, mobility, coordination) and social-emotional functions (healthymind website 10/03/2021).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending doses (Part A) and selected doses (Part B) of BB-031 in acute ischemic stroke patients presenting within 24 hours of stroke onset. Participants will be randomized to receive one dose of either the investigational drug or placebo and will be followed for 90 days. A total of 156 patients are planned in this study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of different concentrations of normobaric oxygen on early neurological improvement in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients receiving endovascular therapy (EVT). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Evaluating the impact of normobaric high-concentration oxygen versus low-concentration oxygen on early neurological function after EVT. - Evaluating the safety of high and low normobaric oxygen concentration in patients with ischemic stroke. Participants will (1) receive EVT under general anesthesia; (2) be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive oxygen therapy with FiO2=80% or FiO2=30% through endotracheal intubation during the operation, and the gas flow rate was set at 4L /min.
