Filter by: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).
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate in elderly with hypertension . The main question it aim to answer is: • Investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training on inspiratory muscle strength, blood pressure and physical capacity Participants will be random in to 2 group and measure baseline. Control group will advise to maintain normal daily life activity. and Intervention group will receive inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with 60% of Maximal inspiratory pressure. Intervention group will perform IMT 30 breaths/day, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. after 6 weeks both group will remeasure variable again as post test
Comparison of preoperative inhaled Budesonide with Salbutamol on the incidence of respiratory adverse effects in children undergoing tonsillectomy
Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome(OHS) is characterized by daytime hypercapnia and sleep-disordered breathing without other causes of hypoventilation in individuals with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2. It is stated that obesity is at the basis of the metabolic changes seen in individuals diagnosed with OHS. Also sedentary lifestyle habits, which are common in obese individuals, cause the risk of sarcopenia due to loss of muscle strength and mass, accumulation of adipose tissue in the body, and decreased exercise capacity. Reduced exercise capacity due to obesity has been shown in the literature to strongly interact with mortality risk. As a result of obesity and all this negative picture, impaired emotional state and decreased quality of life are observed in individuals. Simultaneously, sleep parameters are also negatively affected. In particular, increased adipose tissue leads to loss of muscle mass and strength, increased risk of sarcopenia and sleep-related problems. The association of obesity and sarcopenia is referred to as 'sarcopenic obesity'. Sarcopenic obesity is defined as the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity. The concept of sarcopenic obesity has recently taken its place in the literature. In particular, there are very few studies on its relationship with sleep parameters. However, while obesity is the basis of OHS, there are no studies on the presence and effects of sarcopenic obesity in this patient group. Based on this point, we aim to investigate the effects of sarcopenic obesity on sleep parameters, exercise capacity and quality of life in individuals with OHS.
Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome is a sleep-related respiratory disorder characterized by partial or total interruptions in breathing during sleep. The majority of syndromes involve an obstructive mechanism (OSA), caused by a reduction in the caliber of the upper airway (UA), most often associated with hypotonia of the surrounding muscles, preventing air from entering the UA during inspiration (1). The clinical consequences of this syndrome are excessive fatigue and daytime sleepiness, which have a negative impact on the quality of life of patients. (2,3) Despite the positive results on apnea-hypopnea index and daytime sleepiness of continuous positive airway pressure (today's reference treatment), its 3-year compliance rate (i.e 59.9% according to a study by Abdelghani et al (4) points to the need to develop other associated therapies. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of physiotherapy, such as physical activity and oro-pharyngeal muscle strengthening, notably on the apnea-hypopnea index and daytime sleepiness measured by the Epworth scale (5,6). Few studies have investigated the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT), even though the use of the inspiratory musculature (i.e. the diaphragm) is a means of supplementing the peri-pharyngeal muscles, as it helps to maintain the permeability of the upper airways (7-9). Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) could therefore be considered as part of the physiotherapeutic management of the OSA. The heterogeneity of current results concerning IMT in OSA , but above all the lack of evidence that it is dangerous, means that new clinical studies could be carried out in an attempt to demonstrate its efficacy. Our research hypothesis is therefore as follows: Implementing an inspiratory muscle strengthening protocol in patients suffering from OSA can reduce daytime sleepiness.
