Filter by:Post-operative mortality in case of scheduled surgery is 3% in France (Lancet 2013) mainly due to cardiovascular or respiratory complications, by decompensation of pre-existing pathologies. Complications due to the medical practice are the third cause of morbidity(BMJ, 2016). More than half are preventable and are mainly observed in surgical patients. In conventional hospitalization, excluding intensive care, monitoring is done discontinuously for most of the patients, which does not allow early diagnosis of a vital cardiovascular or respiratory failure. Diagnosis and late treatment do not allow good recovery. The early identification of a vital failure by the continuous monitoring of three simple physiological parameters (SpO2, heart rate and respiratory rate) would allow faster management by the hospital staff and a reduction in immediate and possibly delayed postoperative mortality.
The prevention of catheter-related complications is nowadays an important topic of research. Flushing the catheters is considered an important clinical procedure in preventing malfunction and several complications such as phlebitis or infection. Considering the latest guidelines of the Infusion Nurses Society, the flushing involves a pre and post-drug administration, requiring different syringes (with associated overall increased times of preparation/administration of intravenous medication by nurses, also increasing the need for manipulation of the venous catheter). A multi-centre, two-arm randomised controlled trial with partially blinded outcome assessment, of 146 adult patients. After eligibility analysis and informed consent, participants will receive usual intravenous administration of drugs with subsequent flushing procedures, with the double-chamber syringe (arm A) or with the classical syringes (arm B). The outcomes assessment will be performed on a daily basis by the unblind research team, with the same procedures in both groups. Some main outcomes, such as phlebitis and infiltration, will also be evaluated by nurses from a blind research team and registered once a day.
Randomized control trial to determine if we can produce increases in the IELT using a new masturbator electronic in subjects with premature ejaculation in combination with a exercise app, producing improvements in the quality and satisfaction of the sexuality of the patient.
A device for measuring body composition with a small electric current, at 200 μA, (bioelectrical impedance analysis, or BIA) was designed. The goal of this study is to validate the device against several existing devices using the same method of measuring body composition with a small electric current.
The study was established to collect data and reference measurements in order to establish calibration models for the Prototype 0.3
"Vibwife One" was developed to support the mobilization of the delivering women during the labor process. It consists of a mattress that fits on existing delivery beds. Different movements, adjustable in pace and intensity can be chosen to mobilize women in labor. Although existing evidence is rare, some literature and historical reports have shown a positive impact of active mobilization during labor. At time of rising epidural anesthesia rate, "Vibwife One" could be an interesting way to active mobilize those women to support the physiological birth process. So far, the device has not yet been applied in delivering women. The investigators carry out a first safety study to assess the safety, to evaluate the comfort and the practicability for delivering women and medical staff of this new medical device.
The VitalPAD is a unified, portable and intelligent device that integrates information from multiple patient monitors, mechanical ventilators, infusion pumps and clinical information systems on a mobile platform. It will allow nurses, respiratory therapists and physicians to continuously monitor and coordinate care of critically ill patients. This study will use a participatory design process to guide the design of an integrated mobile device, followed by an evaluation of the proposed device in a simulated ICU setting.
The Mobile Messenger is a unified, portable and intelligent device that integrates information from multiple patient monitors, mechanical ventilators, infusion pumps and clinical information systems on a mobile platform. It will allow nurses, respiratory therapists and physicians to continuously monitor and coordinate care of critically ill patients. This study will use a participatory design process to guide the design of an integrated mobile device. Next, we will evaluate the proposed device in a simulated ICU setting.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Boomerang percutaneous closure device following diagnostic cerebral angiography or neurointerventional procedures. Background: Very few publications have evaluated this relatively novel percutaneous closure device.
This is a study to determine the feasibility of obtaining information stored in existing Medtronic internal defibrillators in patients who present to the Emergency Department(ED) for any reason. In addition, the study will determine if this information is useful to the ED physician in managing the patient's care, specifically as it relates to heart failure.
