Filter by:Patients discharged after hospitalization for COVID-19 pneumonia were retrospectively selected by radiologically established criteria that at admission presented at chest computed tomography (CT) (i) normal lung parenchyma <50% of total lung volume; and/or (ii) area of lung consolidation > 10%. All At discharge and after 9 months, all subjects underwent cardiological evaluation, echocardiogram, pulmonary function tests (PFT) both atby 3 and by 12 months after discharge. Chest CT was performed by 12 months after discharge and chest CT. Specifically, the magnitude of pulmonary involvement between baseline and follow-up was considered the primary endpoint of this study. Secondary endpoints of the study were results of respiratory function testing, echocardiographic parametersparameters, and persistence of symptoms.
FILTRex is a single-centre, controlled, randomised, prospective, non-inferiority clinical trial to compare the efficiency and safety of prolonged (72-hours) versus standard (24-hours) duration of use for Heat and Moisture Exchange (HME) filters in adult mechanically ventilated critically ill patients
One of the most serious complications in the critically ill patient complaining of bulbar palsy is aspiration pneumonia. These patients are scheduled for nasogastric tube feeding trying to avoid recurrent aspiration and subsequent aspiration pneumonia. Even though, the risk of aspiration is still present. Putting a total parenteral nutrition regimen for these patients is a supposed strategy to avoid aspiration pneumonia till recovery from bulbar palsy or planning for tracheostomy and or feeding gastrostomy.
To establish the relative accuracy of the LIAISON® NES Flu A/B, RSV & COVID-19 assay for viral nucleic acid targets from professionally collected or patient self-collected dry nasal (NS) swabs and to establish the relative accuracy of the LIAISON PLEX® RSP Flex assay from NS and nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) in applicable transport media from human patients exhibiting clinical signs and symptoms of a respiratory tract infection.
Pediatric community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common reasons for hospital admission, there is no reliable way of distinguishing the causative organism based on clinical features. This study examined common pathogens of community-acquired pneumonia from 28 days up to 10 years in Dakahlia Governorate.
Respiratory diseases are associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Proper diagnosis and risk assessment of these conditions are essential for optimal management. Clinicians use three particularly useful tools to identify these conditions when assessing the patient's status: the stethoscope, the pulse oximeter, and the thermometer. The Pneumoscope is an all-in-one device including a digital stethoscope, a pulse oximeter, and a thermometer. This study aims to assess the performance and safety of the Pneumoscope in recording respiratory sounds, body temperature, non-invasive blood oxygen saturation levels and heart rate in children and adults.
Given the challenges of treating complex cases of VAP caused by P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae, TechnoPhage developed a bacteriophage cocktail (TP-122) against those pathogens, aiming to provide a hospital-based add-on therapy to the SoC including antibiotic therapy, administered by nebulization. TP-122 is a bacteriophage cocktail divided in two different components: TP-122A is comprised of three bacteriophages against infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and TP-122B includes three bacteriophages against K. pneumoniae . For this study, an effective sample of 15 subjects will be randomly allocated into two arms, in a 3:2 ratio, with 9 subjects receiving TP-122A, in addition to SoC, and 6 subjects receiving the SoC alone.
To determine if clinicians can safely reduce antibiotic exposure in children with medical complexity (CMC) who are diagnosed with pneumonia by implementing an intervention that bases total antibiotic duration on an individual's clinical stability.
Sepsis and septic shock are among main causes of death in patients with severe Covid-19 pneumonia. A few factors are proven to predict sepsis in these patients. WIth near infrared spectroscopy it is possible to detect microcirculatory changes typical for sepsis early in the course of disease. The hypothesis that changes in tissue oxygene saturation during vasoocclusive test predict sepsis as well as mortality in mechancally ventilated patients withe severe Covid-19 pneumonia will be tested.
