Filter by:Obesity is becoming a common condition and bariatric metabolic surgery is one of the main options for treating morbid obesity. However, since most patients undergoing robotic bariatric surgery are class III obese, it brings new challenges to perioperative anesthesia management. Here, we explored the effects of lung-protective ventilation strategies on pulmonary oxygenation function and respiratory mechanics in patients undergoing robotic bariatric surgery.
Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of bedside respiratory muscle training on pulmonary function and stroke-related disabilities in stroke patients. Design: Prospective randomized controlled trial Setting: A single physical medicine and rehabilitation department at a university hospital Participants: Stroke patients in a rehabilitation unit were recruited and randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. Intervention: Both groups participated in a conventional stroke rehabilitation program. During the study period, the intervention group received bedside respiratory muscle training twice a day for three weeks. The respiratory muscle training consisted of (1) a breath stacking exercise, (2) inspiratory muscle training and (3) expiratory muscle training. The participants were evaluated at baseline and again at the end of the study (3 weeks later). Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcomes were measures of pulmonary function: functional vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and peak flow. Secondary outcomes were stroke-related disabilities assessed by the following: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Modified Barthel Index, Berg Balance Scale, Fugl-Meyer Assessment, the Korean Mini-Mental State Examination, and the incidence of pneumonia.
Apnea, a cessation in breathing is critical condition that affects the person regardless of age. In infants, an apneic state occurs when there is an absence of respirations for 20 seconds (Alvaro & Rigatto, 2012). In adults, there is a correlation between sleep apnea with increased risks of cardiovascular health problems (Wimms, Woehrle, Ketheeswaran, Ramanan, & Armitstead, 2016; Wu, Yuan, Wang, Sun, Liu, and Wei, 2016; Hao, Xiandao, Li, Jingwu, Jinghua, & Yongxiang, 2016). The purpose of this proposed study is to investigate the reliability of a smart bed sheet's ability to detect physiological signals such as respiratory patterns. The study's goals are two-fold: 1) to determine the sensors' ability to detect patterns with regards to input signals, and 2) to evaluate the efficacy of pressure sensor signals collected in relaying respiratory rate and respiratory patterns to monitor different thresholds of respiration rate and pattern which may include critical parameters dangerously outside of life sustaining norms.
The purpose of this study is to test the association between ICU acquired weakness as evaluated by dominant handheld dynamometry (handgrip) and the mechanical ventilation weaning outcome
The pelvic floor and diaphragm work together in many different functions. Two important functions are breathing and continence. The pelvic floor muscles have to lift and squeeze to maintain continence. Breathing, specifically breathing out, makes the pelvic floor lift. The investigators don't know how much the pelvic floor lifts and squeezes during different types of breathing out. The purpose of this study is to measure pelvic floor lift and squeeze during different types of breathing out.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the respiratory rate provided by Kai Medical Non-Contact Respiratory Rate Monitors are as accurate as that provided by the currently used methods, including respiratory chest bands.
The purpose of this study is to study whether neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) provides advantages over current methods in detecting patients own breathing efforts in pediatric and neonatal ventilatory care. Our study hypothesis is that NAVA-technology is more accurate than currently used methods in detecting and assisting spontaneous breathing in children, and thus the patient-ventilator synchrony will improve.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the respiratory rate provided by the Kai Sensors RSpot 100 Non-Contact Respiratory Rate Spot Check is as accurate as that provided by the Welch Allyn Propaq Encore model 242 and the Embla Embletta system with Universal XactTrace respiratory effort sensor and Somnologica for Embletta software.
The hypothesis is that systemic remifentanil and Clonidine act in a synergistic manner to relief acute main in an experimental human pain model. Of interest is also the effect of the combination on respiration, sedation and cognitive behavior.
