Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about effects of chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solutions used in oral care of patients on mechanical ventilation support on preventing ventilator associated pneumonia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Is there any difference between 1% chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solutions versus 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate solution used in oral care in preventing the development of VAP? Is there any difference between 1% chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solutions versus 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate solution used in oral care in preventing the development of VAP? Researchers will compare 1% chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium bicarbonate, ozonated water and hypochlorous acid solutions to see if VAP
Descriptive prospective observational study of Incidince of acute kidney injury in children with community acquired pneumonia at assiut university children hospital
Children are commonly hospitalized because of community-acquired pneumonia. Despite the fact that many of these children have viral disease, a majority is treated with antibiotics. These antibiotics will not accelerate recovery in those with viral pneumonia and can cause harm. We are interested in exploring whether the MeMed BV - a composite biomarker assay - could be used to improve antibiotic prescribing in these children by identifying those who likely have viral disease. This proposal describes a feasibility randomized trial of this diagnostic intervention.
This study was a prospective multicenter cohort of severe pneumonia. And by collecting clinical samples to clarify the correlation between lung microbiome, intestinal microbiome, host susceptibility, and prognosis of severe pneumonia patients.
Severe trauma, head trauma, stroke and resuscitated cardiac arrest patients requiring endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are at high risk of early-onset ventilator-associated pneumonia (EO-VAP). A short course of systemic antibiotic is recommended for prophylaxis. This study intends to assess the safety and efficacy of 2 alternative mechanical non-invasive airway clearance techniques in the prevention of EO-VAP in an open label randomized pilot trial of 20 subjects per study group i.e., 60 cases. The interventions will be in place for 7 days and the observational periods will be 14 days.
Observational and randomized trials have demonstrated the high effectiveness of non-invasive helmet ventilatory support, demonstrating a reduction in intubation rate mortality compared with high-flow and standard oxygen therapy. Some pilot physiological studies have shown physiological benefits of helmets compared to the oronasal mask for non-invasive ventilation. The purpose of the study is to compare markers of patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI), patient's comfort, work of breathing, gas exchange, and hemodynamics in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) during non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in continuous positive pressure (CPAP) mode during an oronasal mask ventilation or a combination of a helmet with high-flow oxygenation as an air flow generator.
Multi center, retrospective chart review of patients admitted to MHS hospitals from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2022. Patients will be identified through the electronic medical record, and data from those that meet the study inclusion and exclusion criteria will be analyzed. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data will be interpreted per Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) standards to determine local patterns of resistance. Multivariable logistic regression will be performed to determine predictors of mortality for S. maltophilia isolates.
The goal of this two-arm parallel cluster-randomized trial of 40 hospitals is to test the effectiveness of the ROAD Home Intervention on days of antibiotic overuse at discharge in patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) or urinary tract infection (UTI). The main question it aims to answer is: Does an antibiotic stewardship approach that is customized to the needs, goals, and resources of a hospital (i.e., the ROAD Home Intervention) compared to standard stewardship approaches reduce antibiotic overuse at discharge in hospitalized patients with CAP and UTI? The investigators will randomize 20 hospitals in the Michigan Hospital Medicine Safety Consortium (HMS) to the intervention group and 20 HMS hospitals to the "usual care" control group. During the study the investigators will: (a) assess baseline performance, existing stewardship strategies, hospital priorities, and resources; (b) develop a customized discharge stewardship "suite" for each intervention hospital based on the findings of the baseline assessment and informed by the ROAD Home Framework; and (c) support hospitals in selecting strategies and creating an implementation blueprint to be implemented over 12 to 15 months. After the intervention period, the investigators will compare days of antibiotic overuse at discharge and patient outcomes between intervention and "usual care" hospitals. It is hypothesized that hospitals randomized to the ROAD Home Intervention will have fewer days of antibiotic overuse at discharge compared to "stewardship as usual" control hospitals.
