NCT ID: NCT06302764 Recruiting - Stress Clinical Trials

Emergency Medical Staff Workload Analysis

Start date: October 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to identify trauma determinants and leverage this understanding to develop solutions applicable to the prevention and treatment of PTSD among emergency medical personnel. By categorizing stimuli associated with traumatic professional experiences, the study aims to enhance existing therapeutic protocols through exposure therapy. The specific objectives are as follows: 1. Analysis and characterization of occupational workloads among doctors and emergency medical personnel, focusing on the scale of burdens associated with PTSD symptoms. 2. Development of categories for aggravating and potentially traumatizing stimuli within the medical staff of rescue teams. 3. Examination of the feasibility of incorporating the obtained results into cognitive-behavioral therapy protocols. 4. Assessment of the potential for implementing the results in solutions utilizing virtual reality technology. 5. Formation of an interdisciplinary international research team.

FUSE - Feasibility of Patient Held Sensors for Medical Emergencies

FUSE
Start date: June 30, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The investigators want to study how wearable devices can help track health changes in people when they are not feeling well. Normally, clinicians compare someone's vital signs, like heart rate, to average ranges from healthy folks. But what if clinicians compare these signs to the person's own normal when they were well? The investigators aim to check if wearable sensors can make this possible for many people. The investigators will look at heart rate differences when someone is admitted to the hospital compared to their stable days before. The investigators will see how their daily steps change a week before getting sick. This global study involves adults in emergency or acute care. Participation poses no risks, burdens, or immediate benefits to patients.

NCT ID: NCT05729802 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Educational Problems

The Holographic Standardized Patient

Start date: March 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The current pandemic has revealed in-person simulation training and evaluation is vulnerable to disruption, and alternatives are needed which allow remote evaluation. The recently developed Microsoft Hololens headset device allows interactable holograms to be inserted into a user's workspace (mixed reality) - permitting the augmentation of existing clinical and training spaces with holographic (i.e. virtual) patients via the prototype HoloSIM software. This study is the first known research initiative aiming to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of mixed reality for acute medicine training and assessment at a distance. Space, time, personnel, pandemic, and cost constraints limit opportunities for high-fidelity simulation exercises for post-graduate trainees at Sunnybrook. By developing and demonstrating the effectiveness of this new training modality, increased simulation exercises will lead to a higher quality education experience, better functioning teams, and better patient outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT05651477 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Occupational Exposure

Relationship Between Health Risk and Occupational Exposure of ED

Start date: October 11, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study established a sub-cohort of emergency medical workers, for the development of health care and disease prevention solution, by identifying epidemiological characteristics and factors related to occupational exposure. Each life-log or environment-log data will be collected by wearable device (e.g. smart-watch) and IoT (e.g. Edge-box). From collected data, relationship between health risks and occupational exposure of emergency medical workers will be determined.

NCT ID: NCT05026645 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The Medical Management in Patients Exposed to Weapons of Mass Destruction

CBRNEObs
Start date: October 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Observation study measuring medical response in contaminated environment.

NCT ID: NCT04621682 Completed - Medical Emergencies Clinical Trials

Non-technical Skills Training and Checklists Versus Standard Training With Checklists for Prevention of Medical Error

TECRISIS
Start date: March 20, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to reduce medical error by omitting management steps in medical crises. The Interventions will be: training in non-technical skills and checklists versus Control: standard training with checklists

NCT ID: NCT04618835 Recruiting - Covid19 Clinical Trials

Physical Activity a Vital Sign? 40 Steps to Safety Test for Patients With COVID-19

Start date: January 11, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Exertional desaturation is a feature of COVID-19. The study will measure vital signs of patients discharge by practitioners in primary care, secondary care or by paramedic practitioners. Patients will then undertake a 40-steps on the spot walk followed by measurements of heart rate and oxygen saturations for up to two minutes. Association of desaturation with 30 days hospital admission and mortality will be reported.

NCT ID: NCT04462588 Completed - Medical Emergencies Clinical Trials

Immature Granulocyte [IG] Count and Percentage for Medical Treatment of Uncomplicated Acute Appendicitis

[IG]
Start date: June 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

After appendectomy was first described by Mcburney in 1889, it has been the most practiced emergency surgery in the world with the lifetime incidence of acute appendicitis being 5%-25%. Most cases are uncomplicated cases without any complications and perforation (20%-30%). Although appendectomy is still a curative therapy, medical treatment has come to the fore in uncomplicated cases after improvements in imaging methods for diagnosing acute appendicitis and especially the developments in antibiotherapy. Medical treatment for acute appendicitis is, in fact, not a new condition. Practicing the option of elective surgery following intravenous antibiotherapy for plastron appendicitis that is among the complicated acute appendicitis has lead to further consideration of medical treatment. A number of studies conducted for this purpose suggest that conservative treatment in uncomplicated acute appendicitis may be a first-line treatment. Medical treatment of the uncomplicated acute appendicitis prevents negative appendectomies, which indicates that surgical removal of non-inflamed appendix ranging from 6% to 20%. In addition to preventing unnecessary organ loss, it ensures eliminating postoperative complications such as intestinal obstruction and wound site complications due to surgery. Immature granulocytes (IG) are monitored in peripheral blood as immature polymorphonuclear cells because of the activation of bone marrow. Although their counts can be determined through direct inspection, they can be provided with automated systems within complete blood count parameters as well as technological developments. The increase in their number specifically suggests the activation of the bone marrow and can provide information about the infectious process before leukocytosis is observed. This study aimed to determine the importance of IG count and percentage to evaluate the role of medical treatment and control its success in cases of uncomplicated acute appendicitis.
