The aim of this study is to validate the six minute Stepper Test (6MST) and the 5-repetition chair lift test (5STS) as measures of exercise tolerance and muscle power, respectively, in patients with chronic respiratory disease. As the reproducibility of the tests has been studied and validated in previous studies, the objective is to investigate the validity of the 6MST and 5STS in comparison with their respective gold standards.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare REBUILD-SM (a purpose-built smartphone app and self-management package) with standard care in people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The main question it aims to answer is: • Does REBUILD-SM improve health-related quality of life, symptoms, anxiety, self-efficacy and physical activity for people with ILD? Participants in the intervention group will work through the self-management package with support from a healthcare professional via phone or Zoom. They will also enter deidentified health data into the RE-BUILD smartphone app to track their progress over time. Participants in the control group will use a reduced functionality version of the smartphone app only. Researchers will compare both groups to see if there is any difference in health-related quality of life, symptoms, anxiety, self-efficacy and level of physical activity.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nasal high flow is non inferior to non invasive ventilation (NIV) in the early treatment of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AE-COPD) and hypercapnic acidosis in the emergency department (ED). After obtaining informed consent, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either nasal high flow or non invasive ventilation (NIV, reference treatment) as respiratory support. Researchers will compare both respiratory support groups to see if their blood gas analysis and respiration return to normal ranges.
The aim of this study is to investigate the nutritional status of patients with chronic pulmonary disease undergoing regular outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation.
This observational study aims to compare responses to different, commonly used inhaled bronchodilators in children born preterm with bronchial obstruction at spirometry. All children were diagnosed with Chronic Lung Disease of Immaturity (CLDI). The main questions are: - Is any inhaled bronchodilator or their combination generally superior in children with CLDI when assessing the reversibility of bronchial obstruction? - Is there an individual difference in the effect of betamimetic, anticholinergic or their combination between children with CLDI? Participants will: - Come to our clinic in a stable state without acute infection and they will be randomly assigned to the first inhaled bronchodilator. - They will then perform a spirometry test before and after the inhalation of the drug. - This visit will repeat 3 times, each with a different bronchodilator (beta2agonist, anticholinergic and their combination).
All the Patients undergoing General Anesthesia and the patients who are having Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease will be considered for this study. The Volume consumption of Sevoflurane will be studied in accordance with age, sex, duration , type of surgery, site of surgery and BMI.The volume consumption of sevoflurane is compared with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Normal Patients .
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic and often progressive pulmonary disease, where inflammation and recurrent infections are key pathophysiological contibutors in disease progression. Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) are often treated with antibiotics, even though only about 50% are caused by bacteria, and the evidence for benefit of empiric antibiotic treatment in AECOPD is conflicting. Microbiological sampling is often insufficient in the setting of AECOPD, and there is a lack of biomarkers distinguishing AECOPD caused by bacteria from those not caused by bacteria, leaving the clinician with few tools to guide the use of antibiotics. Overuse of antibiotics is the main driver of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a major global public health threat, and obtaining the correct microbiological diagnose is important in guiding treatment of AECOPD. COPEXNOR seeks to examine which samples give the highest microbiological yield in AECOPD, comparing induced sputum to nasopharyngeal swabs. We will also compare conventional microbiological diagnostics to modern rapid molecular microbiological tests, to evaluate if faster microbiological diagnosis improves antibiotic stewardship. The study aims to define the microbiological etiology causing AECOPD in the Norwegian COPD-population, and examine the lung microbiome over time. COPEXNOR will explore biomarkers in sputum and blood that can be useful for differentiating patients who will benefit from antibiotic treatment from patients who will not.
Interstitial Lung Disease associated with Systemic Sclerosis currently represents the main cause of death in this disease, it is also the cause of significant morbidity, which is why pulmonary rehabilitation strategies can be of great benefit in this group of patients. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of a 36-session supervised pulmonary rehabilitation program compared before and after, on oxygen consumption, functionality, and quality of life in Interstitial Lung The main question it aims to answer are: What effect will have with a 36-session supervised pulmonary rehabilitation program, compared before and after, on oxygen consumption, functionality and quality of life in Interstitial Lung Disease associated with Systemic Sclerosis, estimated by Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test, the questionnaire self-administered SySQ (systemic sclerosis functionality questionnaire) and the self-administered questionnaire SF-36. Disease associated with Systemic Sclerosis. Study design: Quasi-experimental, longitudinal, comparative before and after study. Methods: Consecutive patients who attend the Rheumatology and Internal Medicine services with a confirmed diagnosis of Systemic Sclerosis, at the Speciality Hospital of the National Medical Center La raza IMSS (Mexican Institute of Social Security), all those patients who wish to participate in the study will be asked to sign the informed consent letter, subsequently the Goldberg anxiety and depression questionnaire will be applied, as well as the SF-36 questionnaire to evaluate quality of life and SySQ to evaluate functionality, all participants will undergo Forced Spirometry, Carbon Monoxide Diffusion Capacity and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test, the Pulmonary Function laboratory of the General Hospital National Medical Center La Raza IMSS . Subsequently, they will be sent to the Pulmonary Rehabilitation service, where they will enter a supervised pulmonary rehabilitation program that consists of 36 sessions (12 weeks). After the end of the program, respiratory function tests and tests will be performed again questionnaires, pulmonary function tests and cardiopulmonary exercise test.
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 611 in Chinese adults with moderate to severe COPD.
