Filter by:In this study researchers aim to evaluate effect of different ventilation modalities on the developments of atelectasis by using ultrasound.
postoperative pain following Modified radical mastectomy is severe specially after dissection of tissues .paravertebral plane block provides an excellent postoperative analgesia for women's,but it carry the risk of pneumothorax which it reported in some cases.Erector spinae plane block is a recent block has been mentioned in many case reports as a safe,quick and can be used in outpatient setting. we use a comparative study to compare the postoperative analgesia between both blocks and the affection of postoperative pain following both blocks if any on pulmonary functions.
The study aims to compare the degree of atelectasis between ultrasound-guided alveolar recruitment group and conventional alveolar recruitment group in patients receiving laparoscopic gynecologic surgery
Anesthesia causes respiratory changes and complications, which are the main causes of complications and anesthesia-related deaths. Among the complications, the rapid appearance of lung atelectasis is well known, deteriorating the hematosis during anesthesia, and inducing secondary pulmonary complications. Prevention or limitation of the atelectasis would be a way to improve the safety of patients who have a limited respiratory function. The application of a positive expiratory pressure (PEP) is an effective prevention method for atelectasis, that have been only demonstrate in patients under mechanical ventilation. The high flow nasal cannula is a non-invasive technique easy to perform and allowing a PEP. High flow nasal cannula is safe to use, and the interface is free from local skin complications. Chest X-ray (bad sensibility) or CT are usually used for the diagnosis of atelectasis, but these two exams involve irradiation for patient. MRI and pulmonary ultrasonography has now been validated in adults. MRI are relatively long, and allow to investigate the atelectasis with only a short additional acquisition time. Thus, it would be the first study on the effect of the PEP on the impact and the volume of the atelectasis during general anesthesia in spontaneous ventilation in children. By the way this is the first study on lung's anatomical effects of high flow nasal cannula. It is a monocentric, intervention, randomized, superiority study whose main purpose is to show the reduction of the atelectasis through the use of high flow nasal cannula versus a high concentration mask for pediatric anesthesia during MRI. The studied population is all the children between 6 months and 5 years with a pediatric indication of general anesthesia for MRI. The primary goal is to show a reduction of volume (cm3) of the atelectasis via the application of a PEP by high flow nasal cannula. The main assessment criteria is the ratio of atelectasis volume/total lung volume. The prevalence of the atelectasis will be evaluated by MRI lung and measured using 3D reconstruction software. The duration of the examination and the anesthesia is slighty lengthened, 3 to 5 minutes for a 40 minutes' exam. The secondary objective is to show a match between the atelectasis on MRI and ultrasound.
An Investigation to determine the single-use scope's ability to suction secretion from the lungs to resolve the collapse of the lung.
The Effectiveness of the Jamboxx Respiratory Therapy Device in Treatment of Patients with Decreased Respiratory Function is a proposal for investigation of the application of gaming to improving respiratory health. The Jamboxx device (see appendix A for device details) combines gaming with traditional incentive spirometry to provide users with a fun experience to keep them engaged in their respiratory therapy routine. The device allows users to play a series of mini-games that walk them through their routines. The Jamboxx also records airflow and lung parameters with an external mouthpiece attachment to provide users with real time feedback, and helps to assess increases or decreases in relative lung function over time. The Jamboxx has the potential to significantly impact the field of respiratory therapy by being one of the first gaming devices for patient therapy, and the first respiratory therapy gaming device that is accessible to users with limited mobility. Jamboxx provides a fun and engaging, low cost alternative to the traditional therapy techniques used and aims to improve patient compliance. This study addresses postoperative pulmonary atelectasis that results from diaphragm dysfunction and pain following upper abdominal surgery. This issue is a major cause of morbidity in these patients (Ford et al 1983). Incentive spirometry is used in this setting, but there is conflicting data regarding its effectiveness (Rupp et al 2013). Study 3 will focus on the questions regarding the influence of education and a novel use of a gaming device on prevention of atelectasis. Study 3 will include 3 subgroups of subjects. The first subject group will be enrolled in a nonintrusive observation only studies. Group 1 will explore the effect of technology via a tablet device on standard spirometry usage. Group 2 will look at the combined effect of technology via the tablet device and intensive education on compliance and reduction of post-surgical atelectasis. Finally, Group 3 will explore the effect of gaming technology with intensive educational reinforcement on compliance and reduction of post-surgical atelectasis.
This trial studies how well radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound works in detecting the complete or partial collapse of the lung in patients undergoing peripheral bronchoscopy. Diagnostic procedures, such as radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound and bronchoscopy, use a thin, tube-like instrument inserted through the nose or mouth to view and take pictures of the inside of the trachea, air passages, and lungs.
During one-lung ventilation in thoracic surgery, the intensity of neuromuscular blockade may change the compliance and resistance of ventilated lung, thereby affecting postoperative atelectasis. The present study investigated the effect of the intensity of intraoperative neuromuscular blockade on the postoperative atelectasis using chest computerized tomography in patients receiving thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation.
This study evaluates the incidence of postoperative atelectasis after general anesthesia with prone position using lung ultrasound in children age < 3 years.
A safe and effective surgical environment is important for nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery. The investigators hypothesize that mini-dose succinylcholine can induce ultra-short period of apnea, by which the ventilatory responses to open pneumothorax were abolished and may facilitate rapid and satisfying collapse of the operated lung during nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery.
