Filter by:The investigator wants to investigate if there is an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary problems in patients who have had an intubation where there was need for more than a laryngoscope.
The purpose of this study is to determine the cure rate from ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by Gram negative bacteria when administering add on nebulized amikacin to intravenous antibiotics compared to intravenous antibiotics alone.
This is a study to evaluate thermal imaging as a technology to monitor the normal clearing of amniotic fluid from healthy newborns and newborns suspected of having a condition called transient tachypnea of the newborn, or TTN. Thermal images are taken using an imaging device that attaches to an iPhone. This device, commercially known as FLIR ONE, creates a non-identifiable image based on the heat pattern of an object. In this case, the object is a child's chest and back. It does not emit any radiation like an x-ray does.
The purpose of this study is to provide data on trends of morbidity due to Acute Otitis Media (AOM) (primary analysis) and morbidity and mortality due to pneumonia, and AOM related health care resources before and after the introduction of vaccination against pneumococcal disease within the Universal Mass Vaccination (UMV) in Colombia.
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of lefamulin, a pleuromutilin, for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe community-acquired bacterial pneumonia.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a medication used to treat gastric conditions, increase the risk of hospitalization for community-acquired pneumonia (HCAP). The investigators will carry out separate population-based cohort studies using administrative health databases in eight jurisdictions in Canada, the US, and the UK. Cohort entry will be defined by the initiation of an oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, with follow-up until hospitalization for pneumonia or end of follow-up (6 months). The results from the separate sites will be combined using a statistical approach called meta-analysis to provide an overall assessment of the risk of HCAP with PPIs.
This study aimed to determine whether PATH-wSP, a vaccine against a germ that causes pneumonia, is safe and induces immune responses in adults and toddlers. The study vaccine was compared to placebo. First adults received 2 injections of a lower dose of the vaccine or placebo, 28 days apart. Since the lower dose was considered safe, a higher dose was tested. Once the safety was established in adults the lower and higher dose was tested in toddlers, starting with the lower dose and then the higher dose.
The purpose of this study is to assess microbiologic concordance rates between right- and left-lung bronchoalveolar lavage cultures from patients with suspected ventilator-associated pneumonia, identify predictors of concordance, and evaluate the impact of discordant microbiology on clinicians' ability to prescribe appropriate antibiotic treatments, the investigators conducted a prospective observational study in the general intensive care unit of a large university hospital.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the intestinal microbiota influences rotavirus vaccine immune responses in healthy adult volunteers.
This study evaluates the respective values and combined CPIS (Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), tracheal aspiration and pulmonary ultrasonography (LUS - Lung Ultrasound) for early diagnosis of ventilator- associated pneumonia (VAP).
