Filter by:Regional techniques can be used for postoperative pain control following VATS. Ultrasound (US) guided serratus posterior superior block (SPSPB) is a new interfacial plane block defined by Tulgar et al in 2023. It is based on injection on the serratus posterior superior muscle at the level of the 2nd or 3rd rib. This block provides analgesia in conditions such as interscapular pain, chronic myofascial pain syndromes, scapulocostal syndrome, and shoulder pain. The SPS muscle is located at the C7-T2 level. It attaches to the lateral edges of the second and fifth ribs. It is innervated by the lower cervical and upper intercostal nerves. With the SPS block, these nerves are blocked and analgesia is provided.
The goal of this randomized control trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using a spray nozzle, compared to the conventional method, for topical anesthesia by the spray-as-you-go technique in reducing cough frequency, improving cough, discomfort, tolerance, satisfaction, reducing the dosage of lidocaine consumption of patients during flexible bronchoscopy.
This study aims to evaluate the quality of images when low-concentration iodine contrast agents is used in chest CT with low tube voltage and if they can be used in routine imaging. The primary endpoint of the study was the quality of the image and comparison of chest CT by using low and conventional concentration iodine contrast agents with low tube voltage and chest CT by using the conventional concentration iodine contrast agents with the conventional tube voltage; The secondary endpoint is optimizing chest CT protocol using an iodine contrast agent.
Targeted lung denervation (TLD) with the Ryme Medical Lung Denervation System in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - Ryme Medical TLD Pilot Study
The IPCRG & Teesside University have searched the internet for video self management content for people living with COPD. Resources were reviewed by healthcare professionals and developed into a digital magazine to support people living with chronic obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The aims of this study are to 1. evaluate the use of the digital magazine format with video self-management content from an end user perspective, including 1. what characteristics a good video resource should have 2. what information is important to people with COPD to include in videos and digital magazines, 3. the useability of a digital magazine format 2. Explore the opinions, experiences and preferences of people living with COPD for accessing online self-management content including barriers and facilitators for accessing online self-management video content
All SSc patients should know if they have been diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, or pulmonary hypertension and keep results from his/her last pulmonary function test, chest imaging, echocardiogram and stress test
The purpose of this study is to describe initiation and use of oxygen therapy among patients with fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and to assess the impact of oxygen therapy on clinical outcomes among patients with fibrotic ILD.
Developing a standardized methodology for the use of novel cryogenic catheters for transbronchial cryobiopsy and cryoablation of pulmonary lesions.
This is an observational, prospective, multicentric, cohort study conducted in France to evaluate the QoL in COPD patients treated with TRIMBOW NEXThaler 88/5/9 in a routine clinical practice setting. Patients enrolled in this study will be patients diagnosed with a COPD with a ratio of post-bronchodilator (salbutamol 400 μg) forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) of less than 0.7 to whom TRIMBOW NEXThaler 88/5/9 has been initiated by an hospital or local pulmonologists in accordance with clinical practice and marketing authorization.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a broad category of heterogeneous lung diseases with different etiologies and features characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the lung parenchyma and manifested as exertional dyspnea, interstitial patterns on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and abnormal pulmonary function tests (PFTs) The aim of this study is to investigate is there any correlation between changes seen in the lung parenchyma by HRCT and the pulmonary functions of the patients.
