Filter by:Pulmonary rehabilitation is an exercise and education programme that helps improve breathlessness and quality of life for people living with lung and breathing problems. It improves exercise levels and breathlessness and is a recommended treatment for people with lung diseases and symptoms. Standard pulmonary rehabilitation programmes involve individuals attending group classes at hospitals or community centres, twice a week for 8 weeks. These classes are supervised by physiotherapists. At the moment, there are long waiting times for pulmonary rehabilitation in the NHS. Some patients may prefer more pulmonary rehabilitation based in their own home. This might be because they find it difficult to travel to classes. Some would like to do more home pulmonary rehabilitation in between supervised classes or continue pulmonary rehabilitation after the 8-week supervised programme. The blending between supervised classes and home pulmonary rehabilitation is known as HYBRID PULMONARY REHABILITATION. Hybrid pulmonary rehabilitation is not being provided routinely in the NHS, but the NHS would like to see it used more as it might help reduce waiting times and give patients more choice on how to access pulmonary rehabilitation. The study will assess the feasibility of a larger study to provide strong evidence on patients' uptake and adherence to the hybrid programme, and the impact on patients' health outcomes and service delivery. The investigators will also look at what measures would be best to use in a larger study. The study will recruit up to 100 patients. These individuals will be aged 18 years or older, have respiratory disease and a referral for pulmonary rehabilitation. Individuals with reasons why they cannot exercise will be excluded. Participants will be provided with an application (App) that can be installed on a mobile phone. This App is called Active+me REMOTE and is made by a company called Aseptika Ltd (www.activ8rlives.com). Active+me REMOTE provides live online, video exercise classes; pre-recorded exercise classes; a walking programme; educational talks; and a care plan personalised for the user. Data will be collected at the beginning and end of the hybrid pulmonary rehabilitation programme and will include routinely collected data as part of usual care. Additional data will be collected via the App and trial surveys. The investigators will ask staff and patients about the experiences of the new way of delivering rehabilitation and explore how cost effective it is.
1. Build a national diagnosis and treatment quality control platform for major respiratory diseases It will establish and improved a "National diagnosis and Treatment quality control Platform for major respiratory diseases", and form a three-level network of diagnosis and treatment quality control for major respiratory diseases with a three-level system structure of "national, provincial and hospital". 2. Promote standardized diagnosis and treatment techniques for major respiratory diseases Relying on the specialized disease collaboration group or innovative unit model, all-round and hierarchical precision training and teaching are carried out to popularize and promote standardized diagnosis and treatment technology schemes for major respiratory diseases, so as to achieve the homogenization of diagnosis and treatment level for major respiratory diseases.
A retrospective study to evaluate the diagnostic performance of an Artificial Intelligence enabled software (ArtiQ.Spiro) in UK primary care spirometry datasets.
The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness of CPM nasal spray as part of the treatment of COVID-19 and its impact on clinical symptoms. Two cohort groups will be compared (CPM vs. standard care). The hypothesis to be tested is that patients treated with CPM nasal spray showed more rapid clinical improvement than those treated with standard of care alone. Clinical improvement will be evaluated by the total number of days with the manifestation of COVID-19 symptoms, including cough, nasal congestion, ageusia, and anosmia, among others. The rate of hospitalization between the cohorts will also be evaluated.
Few data are available on the management of critically ill pregnant women with pneumonia related to SARS-CoV-2. In the absence of clear recommendations for the management of delivery, clinicians are faced with the risk of pregnancy continuation against the risk of premature birth. In these multicenter retrospective study, the investigators want to describe clinicians attitude on delivery management in pregnant women requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome related to SARS-CoV-2. Two strategies will be compared on maternal, obstetric and neonatal outcomes: - Wait strategy defined by no extraction within 24 hours of invasive venting - Early strategy defined by extraction within 24 hours of invasive ventin
The primary objective of the present research is to determine the effectiveness of Family Health Center of San Diego's Long COVID and Fatiguing Illness Recovery Program (LC&FIRP) on clinician- and patient-level outcomes. LC&FIRP is comprised of a teleECHO program focused on multi-specialty case-consultation and peer-to-peer sharing of emerging best practices to support management of complex cases associated with Long COVID, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), and other post-infectious fatiguing illnesses (PIFI). Our secondary objective is to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability of LC&FIRP. Our findings should provide a fuller understanding of the potential impact of innovative technology enabled multi-disciplinary team-based care models in low-resource, community-based primary care settings.
This observational study aim to characterise patients admitted to hospital with an acute respiratory condition, or acute worsening of their chronic lung condition. This will enable identification of predictors of future risk, as well as develop potential interventions targets.
This master protocol serves as a common reference for the inpatient and outpatient clinical studies that share common elements.
Recently, interest in ways to monitor and care for patients remotely has significantly increased due to concerns for infection control as well as a way to increase access to regular clinic visits that may be limited for socioeconomic and geographic reasons. However, remote care can be limited by a lack of objective data to help guide clinical care. With respect to respiratory disease, caring for patients remotely may be enhanced by the ability of patients to monitor at home such things as vital signs, lung sounds, and lung function by spirometry. Enhanced methods to follow symptoms and track medication compliance may also be beneficial. These enhancements could improve care and quality of life both for persons with acute respiratory illnesses and those with chronic respiratory disease (such as asthma or COPD). The purpose of this study is to develop and study methods for patients to monitor their respiratory health at home and make that data available to medical providers to improve their care.
