Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between handgrip strength and air trapping in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main question it aims to answer is: • Is handgrip strength correlated with air trapping in COPD patients? Participants will perform handgrip strength test and lung volume measurement.
Conduct a pilot study (n = 20) to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MAJOR CHORD music therapy (MT) intervention (i.e., two in-person MT sessions prior to discharge and two virtual MT sessions post-discharge) and collection of patient-reported outcomes through 30 days after hospital discharge. The investigators will uncover any potential modifications that need to be made to the intervention and data collection process prior to initiating the randomized trial.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if treatment with prehospital Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF), due to acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) based on in-hospital criteria, should be used in the prehospital setting. This is performed with the introduction of prehospital arterial blood gas analyzation. The primary objective is: • To determine if early prehospital applied NIV together with standard medical treatment will affect arterial pH at hospital arrival in patients with ARF due to AECOPD. Participants in the intervention will receive Non-invasive ventilation together with standard medical treatment. The intervention will be compared to standard medical treatment alone, that may include inhaled bronchodilators, intravenous corticosteroids, and titrated oxygen supplementation.
This is a parallel, double blind, Phase 3, 2-arm study that is designed to provide additional safety information, assess the durability of treatment response, and provide additional PK and immunogenicity assessments. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of both itepekimab SC Q2W or itepekimab SC Q4W in participants with COPD having completed the treatment period of the clinical studies EFC16750 or EFC16819. A secondary purpose of this study is to provide efficacy outcomes beyond the treatment period of the parent trials EFC16750 and EFC16819. Study details include: - The study duration will be up to 72 weeks - The treatment duration will be up to 52 weeks - A follow-up period of 20 weeks will be conducted - The number of on-site visits will be 7 and the number of phone contacts will be 5
Studies have shown that intravenous infusion and nebulized dexmedetomidine can improve lung function in mechanically ventilated patients, including those with preoperative COPD, exerting lung protection. However, these studies are based on mechanical ventilation patients under general anesthesia, and more intuitive research is needed on whether dexmedetomidine can also exercise pulmonary precaution in awake patients. Pulmonary function monitoring is the most direct way to evaluate changes in lung function in awake patients. Portable pulmonary function machines can assess lung function in a variety of settings. In addition, compared with intravenous administration, nebulized inhalation administration directly acts on the mucosa of the respiratory tract, does not involve invasive operations, and has higher safety and comfort. Therefore, this study intends to use portable pulmonary function instruments and non-invasive ambulatory respiratory monitors to evaluate the effect of nebulized dexmedetomidine on lung function in COPD patients to guide the perioperative management of COPD patients.
The goal of this observational study is to is to ascertain the spiritual needs of palliative patients in a standardized manner using the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire and to promptly address those needs by (specialized) spiritual care. To determine whether the effort of implementing the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire on a sustainable basis on the one hand brings the expected benefit to the patients and on the other hand can be provided by the pastoral care personnel, at Muenster University Hospital (specialized) spiritual care interventions will be documented in detail and retrospectively and prospectively collected data will be compared.
The biomechanical properties of accessory respiratory muscles and peripheral muscles of COPD and healthy subjects will be measured and compared with the MyotonPro device.
This study is planned to be conducted based on the cohort of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in our hospital. Based on gut microbiota, random forest was used to search for potential diagnostic biomarkers in patients with frequent acute exacerbation and controls with non frequent acute exacerbation; Construct a frequent acute exacerbation risk prediction model using random forest, support vector machine, and BP neural network models. The development of this study will provide valuable references for the clinical classification and prognosis evaluation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and improve the health level of COPD patients by further searching for treatable targets.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common disease worldwide. Pulmonary rehabilitation is an important part to decrease the complications of COPD. Blow bottle technique is an economical and subjective technique promote the lung expansion, as compare to ACBTs. It used to treat the different complications in COPD patients and also decrease the dependency of patient. To find the comparative effects of blow bottle and active cycle of breathing on sputum diary, oxygen saturation, pulmonary function and quality of life among the patients of chronic bronchitis. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Gulab Devi hospital Lahore. Through convenient sampling technique on 56 patients, allocated through simple random sampling through computer generated technique into group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with blow bottle technique and group B will be treated by with ACBTs. Pretreatment values will be recorded for BCSS for sputum, pulse oximeter, pulmonary function test and st. George for quality of life will be assessed before and after 8 weeks of the treatment. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be use within a group or between two groups.
The goals of this observational study are to identify factors independently associated with admission eosinopenia in patients with a severe exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to determine when blood eosinophil count (BEC) will recover to baseline stable state in patients who are admitted to hospital with a severe exacerbation of COPD and associated eosinopenia. The main aims of the study are to: 1. Identify demographic, physiological and clinical factors independently associated with admission eosinopenia in patients with a severe exacerbation of COPD 2. Assess the time to recovery from eosinopenia to stable BEC following a severe exacerbation of COPD
