Filter by:This is a cross-sectional study to determine the optimal inspiratory muscle training (IMT) intensity for stroke survivors. Participants will breathe through a pressure threshold inspiratory loading device with varying loads in random order. Each IMT intensity protocol consists of 10 breaths. During the test, accessory inspiratory muscle activity will be measured with surface electromyography (sEMG) and diaphragm thickness will be used to assessed with ultrasonography. Repeated-measures ANOVA will be used for statistical analysis to determine the most effective training intensity for future study.
Hypothesis: BR's Gen3 DL algorithms, combined with its subxiphoid body sensor, can accurately diagnose OSA, categorize its severity, identify REM OSA and supine OSA, and detect central sleep apnea (CSA). Primary Objective: To rigorously evaluate the overall performance of the BR with Gen3 DL Algorithms and Subxiphoid Body Sensor in assessing SDB in individuals referred to the sleep labs with clinical suspicion of sleep apnea and a STOP-Bang score > 3, by comparing to the attended in-lab PSG, the gold standard. Secondary Objectives: To determine the accuracy of BR sleep stage parameters using the Gen3 DL algorithms by comparing to the in-lab PSG; To assess the accuracy of the BR arrhythmia detection algorithm; To assess the impact of CPAP on HRV (both time- and frequency-domain), delta HR, hypoxic burden, and PWADI during split night studies; To assess if any of the baseline HRV parameters (both time- and frequency-domain), delta heart rate (referred to as Delta HR), hypoxic burden, and pulse wave amplitude drop index (PWADI) or the change of these parameters may predict CPAP compliance; To evaluate the minimum duration of quality data necessary for BR to achieve OSA diagnosis; To examine the performance of OSA screening tools using OSA predictive AI models formulated by National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) and Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED).
Patients' pulmonary functions and diffusion capacity worsen following lung cancer surgery. Diaphragmatic activity and lung compliance decrease due to surgery. Peripheral and respiratory muscle functions are impaired in patients with lung cancer, exercise capacity and physical activity level decreased. Patients have postural instability and balance problems. Inspiratory muscle training has increased inspiratory muscle strength in patients with lung cancer. However, there is no study investigating functional inspiratory muscle training in patients with lung cancer.
Lung cancer is with the highest incidence rate and mortality among people over 60 years old in China. Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) is the most common complication after pneumonectomy, which has a significant impact on the short-term and long-term prognosis of patients, and is even the primary risk factor leading to early postoperative death. High fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is an independent risk factor for PPCs, but it is difficult to achieve oxygenation while avoiding hyperxemia during one lung ventilation (OLV). We will randomly divide elderly patients who plan to undergo thoracoscopic pulmonary resection into two groups. During OLV, titration will be used to determine the optimal FiO2 for titration group while FiO2 of 80% will be used for mechanical ventilation for control group. The incidence of postoperative PPCs, hypoxia/hyperxemia, oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and intrapulmonary shunt rate (Qs/Qt), oxidative stress indicators, and prolonged hospital stay will be observed in both groups of patients. We will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of titrating inhaled oxygen concentration in lung protection during OLV.
This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) guided by a smartphone app vs. IMST delivered in a clinical research setting for lowering systolic blood pressure in adults 18 years and older with elevated blood pressure. Participants will perform IMST for 5 minutes a day, 6 days a week, for 6 weeks.
In patients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder, the effect of remimazolam-based monitored anesthesia care (MAC) and inhalational general anesthesia will be compared under guidance by analgesia nociception index (ANI) monitoring. Anesthesia time, operation time, anesthesia time excluding operation time and total dose of opioid will be compared.
The goal of this observational study is to to evaluate a technique of initiating Sevoflurane low-flow anesthesia which is simple, has a quick wash-in and minimises gas consumption without compromising the safety when compared to conventional method of attaining low-flow anesthesia using initial high flows. Participants will explained about the procedure of induction of general anesthesia using either one of the above two methods and written consent will be obtained prior to inclusion in the study.
No study has been found in which kinesiology taping, mobilization and breathing exercises were used regarding postoperative pain and postpartum comfort after cesarean section. This study aims to determine the effects of kinesiology taping, mobilization and breathing exercise on post-cesarean section pain and postpartum comfort. The study will be conducted with three groups, two intervention groups and one control group. It has been calculated that a minimum of 33 people in each group and 99 people in total will be sufficient. Anticipating the possibility of data loss in the study, it was planned to include 15% more patients (n = 114). Research Questions Is there a difference in terms of pain between the groups that received kinesiology taping, mobilization training and breathing exercises after cesarean section and those that did not? Is there a difference in postpartum comfort level between the groups that received kinesiology taping, mobilization training and breathing exercises after cesarean section and those that did not? Is there a difference in terms of pain between groups with and without post-cesarean mobilization training and breathing exercise? Is there a difference in postpartum comfort level between groups with and without post-cesarean mobilization training and breathing exercise?
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the incidence of double-lumen endobronchial tube displacement in patients undergoing thoracic surgery with a change in position, compared with double-lumen endobronchial tube malposition in chest surgery patients with a fixed breathing circuit. The study is to investigate: whether detaching the breathing circuit in patients undergoing thoracic surgery would reduce the rate of double-lumen endobronchial tube malposition, the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, and improve patient outcomes. Participants will be randomly divided into a disconnected breathing circuit group and a breathing circuit connected group and after entering the operating room, the intravenous access will be opened, and blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiogram, oxygen saturation, arterial pressure, and end-expiratory carbon dioxide will be monitored. Anesthesia induction will be performed by an anesthesiologist, and then the double-lumen endobronchial tube will be inserted under laryngoscopic guidance. Will the catheter be delivered to the expected depth, the double-lumen endobronchial tube will be connected to the anesthesia machine for mechanical ventilation. Researchers will compare the malposition rate of the double-lumen endobronchial tube when the patient transitions from the supine to lateral decubitus position, the effect of single-lung ventilation, oxygen saturation at 5 and 10 minutes after single-lung ventilation, and postoperative recovery time.
