Filter by:This trial is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, two-arm, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial to investigate the effect of high dose intravenous (IV) Vitamin C as an adjunct to the standard of care for patients with severe pneumonia versus placebo in ICU.
This study aims to generate clinical data on the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of rezafungin combined with 7 days of co-trimoxazole for treatment of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in adults living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which would expand the knowledge of clinical use of rezafungin.
The goal of this prospective multicentric study is to evaluate the presence of long-term pulmonary sequelae in patients who had required hospitalization for treating COVID-19 pneumonia, trough chest CT and pulmonary function tests (PFT). Secondly we would like to evaluate the possible correlation between the chest CT findings and pulmonary function tests pre-existing co-morbidities and type of therapy used during hospitalization.
The goal of this interventional study is to test if a discharge stewardship bundle is effective at reducing inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions at hospital discharge for children with the three common infections: community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), urinary tract infections (UTI), and skin/soft tissue infections (SSTI). The goals of this study are: - To develop, locally adapt, and implement a discharge stewardship intervention across four geographically diverse children's hospitals. - To measure the impact of the discharge stewardship intervention on antibiotic prescribing and patient outcome for three common pediatric infections. Families who are enrolled in the study will be asked to: - complete a one question wellness track on days 3, 7, and 21 after hospital discharge - complete a brief survey on days 7 and 21 after hospital discharge The study team will conduct interviews with the hospitalists at each of the four participating hospitals to create a "discharge stewardship" bundle. Once the bundle intervention is implemented, the hospitalists will be asked to follow prescribing guidelines for CAP, UTI, and SSTI. They will receive regular group-level feedback reports to show how well they follow the guidelines and motivate the hospitalists to follow the guidelines better.
This study aims to assess the efficacy of the efficacy and safety of investigational drug (NanoS) in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including death.
The oximeter is an instrument for monitoring patients receiving oxygen therapy. It displays pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), which is a reflection of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). An accurate SpO2 value is essential for optimal management of the O2 flow delivered to patients. Several factors can influence this measurement and the choice of ventilatory support: the type of oximeter used, skin pigmentation and the oxygenation goal. The objective of our study is to evaluate the impact of the oxygenation goal and the oximeter used on oxygen flows in patients with COPD (or with hypercapnia, or at risk of hypercapnia) and in patients without COPD (in particular pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis and other pathologies) Our hypothesis is that the SpO2 target and oximeter used will have an impact on oxygen flows and that these effects will be synergistic in these different populations.
A new drug called azeliragon could be used to treat patients with COVID-19 or other pneumonia infections but the researchers don't know. In this study, they are learning the effects of azeliragon patients hospitalized for COVID-19 or pneumonia.
The group aged 18-59 years old, the group ≥60 years old, and the group aged 2-17 years old were successively assigned to the group. Subjects in each age group were randomly vaccinated with 1 dose of experimental vaccine or control vaccine in a ratio of 1:1, with 48 people in each group receiving each dose. After the safety assessment was conducted on the 8th day after the first dose, the next age group could be enrolled only if the preliminary safety assessment results met the protocol requirements. When each age group is enrolled, laboratory index screening can be conducted 3 days in advance (the validity period of laboratory index detection results is 3 days). The progression of age groups is as follows: Group 18-59 years old (48 people: 1 dose) → Group ≥60 years old (48 people: 1 dose) → Group 2-17 years old (48 people: 1 dose) Safety observation: All subjects were observed on site for 30 minutes after vaccination, abnormal laboratory indicators (blood biochemistry, blood routine) of all subjects were observed on day 4 after vaccination, and adverse events of all subjects within 0-7 days were actively followed up by the researchers, and subjects were instructed to record the body temperature measured every day and adverse events (if they occurred) in the diary card. All subjects continued to observe adverse events within 8-28 days and made relevant records. All subjects were required to continue follow-up for SAE status up to 6 months after basic immunization. Immunogenicity observation: Blood samples were collected before and 28 days after vaccination, and serum antibodies were detected by ELISA.
Aspiration pneumonia is a common complication in senior patients with high morbidity and mortality rate. The decline of physical function among elders can easily lead to swallowing disorders, and nasogastric (NG) tube insertion is an emergency medical treatment that provides patients with adequate hydration and nutrition. However, NG is easily dislodged after a long duration of placement; furthermore, lacking accurate feeding skills could also lead to aspiration pneumonia.
High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy is an upcoming and beneficial modality for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). To evaluate whether early use of HFNO in pneumonia patients with (AHRF) can reduce the need for invasive ventilation.
