NCT ID: NCT05325814 Completed - Clinical trials for Postoperative Patients

Agreement Between Standard and Continuous Wireless Vital Sign Measurements

Start date: December 18, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Patients undergoing major surgery are at risk of postoperative complications. Continuous wireless monitoring outside the post-anesthesia or intensive care units may enable early detection of patient deterioration, but good accuracy of measurements is required. This validation study, which is part of the WARD-SX project, aimed to assess the agreement between vital signs recorded by standard and novel wireless devices

NCT ID: NCT04041323 Completed - Acute Kidney Injury Clinical Trials

Incidence and Outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury in Postoperative ICU Patients - a Retrospective Data Analysis

Start date: June 13, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients. Based on the sensitive KDIGO criteria, the incidence of AKI on ICU varies between 30-60 %. These large variations of incidence of AKI are due to different baseline characteristics of studied patients, the length of observation period, use of creatinine criteria only or use of creatinine and urine output criteria. Furthermore, back estimation of baseline creatinine instead of measured creatinine in patients with missing laboratory values may lead to overestimation of AKI severity and outcomes. Major surgery, trauma, infection, sepsis or a complication of severe illness can lead to an abrupt decrease in glomerular filtration in critically ill patients. Such episode of AKI is associated with short term adverse effects such as fluid overload, electrolyte imbalance, acid-base derangements, immune dysfunction, coagulation abnormalities and alterations in mental status. Additionally, AKI in critically ill patients leads to prolonged ICU length of stay, increase in morbidity and mortality as well as higher costs. Multiple large studies found, after correction for potential confounders, that AKI was independently associated with worse outcomes. Moderate and severe AKI stages were associated with 2.9 - 6.9 fold increased in-hospital mortality (3). Increasing AKI severity in ICU patients was not only associated with increased mortality, AKI patients had also worse renal function at the time of hospital discharge. The individual condition leading to AKI in combination with increased susceptibility to AKI may significantly influence outcome. Indeed, current data from many studies show that mortality from AKI differs in various clinical settings. However, there are not enough data on different types of surgery and their effect on AKI yet. The aim of our epidemiological study is to investigate the occurrence and outcomes of AKI in different types of surgery in postoperative ICU patients at the Vienna General Hospital.

NCT ID: NCT03027713 Completed - Clinical trials for Postoperative Patients

Diaphragmatic Activity During Weaning With NAVA, a Pilot Study (NAVA: Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist)

NAVA
Start date: June 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to describe the diaphragm electromyographic activity (Edi) in healthy lung patients due to obtain a reference to guide the weaning in those patients
