Filter by:This study evaluates the impact of hypoxic and hyperoxic breathing on measures of brain redox balance and metabolism in healthy individuals. All participants will undergo an MRI scan during administration of air mixtures with different oxygen concentrations to collect the brain measures.
This study evaluates the correlation between maximum inspiratory pressure (Pi max) and the diaphragm maximum inspiratory excursion measured with ultrasound during the weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation.
To obtain definitive evidence for the effectiveness of a short preoperative inspiratory muscle training (IMT) protocol on the morbidity and recovery from an esophageal surgical resection.
This is a single center pilot study evaluating the immediate effects of low-dose acetazolamide on respiratory control in subjects with treatment emergent sleep disordered breathing. The purpose of this study is to assess the immediate effect one-time low-dose acetazolamide on sleep breathing in (Treatment Emergent Sleep Disordered Breathing) TE-CSA subjects compared to subjects' baseline evaluation without acetazolamide. Investigators will also try to determine the immediate effect of one-time low-dose acetazolamide on subjects' resting ventilation and ventilatory response slope compared to subjects' baseline evaluation without acetazolamide.
The spontaneous breathing test (SBT) is routinely performed on all intubated patients in the NICU who are potential candidates for extubation from mechanical ventilatory support. For all parents who consent, the routine SBT will be performed on all infants. In addition to the routine SBT the following will occur: 1. work of breathing indices: obtained non-invasively through respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP). 2. Performing the SBT in the prone position, in addition to the routine position (supine).
Order randomized crossover non-inferiority study evaluating the acute efficacy of High Flow Therapy (HFT) as compared to nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure therapy (CPAP) in the management of apnea / hypopnea index (AHI).
The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics and safety of inhaled vancomycin in patients with cystic fibrosis.
The investigators will test whether breathing through an inspiratory resistance device will improve the ability to be upright and decrease blood pressure drops on standing in patients with orthostatic hypotension.
This proof-of-concept study is to assess the potential benefit of botulinum toxin for patients with sleep-related breathing disorders.
Introduction: There is currently no long-term study, which compares the outcomes of partial tonsillectomy to conventional tonsillectomy. We hypothesize that there will be little significant tonsillar regrowth with partial tonsillectomy. Background and Significance: Tonsillectomy is the most common major surgical procedure performed on children in the United States with nearly 300,000 procedures performed each year, primarily for the indication of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (OSDB). Conventional (total) tonsillectomy removes the tonsillar capsule, and partial tonsillectomy preserves the capsule by shaving away the tonsils using an endoscopic microdebrider. Partial tonsillectomy results in less pain, fewer days to normal activity and diet, and fewer days of analgesics than total tonsillectomy. There are no significant differences between the techniques in blood loss or postoperative life improved Historical evidence suggests that eventually there will be tonsillar regrowth with partial tonsillectomy. However, in a 2003 follow-up report of 243 children undergoing partial tonsillectomy and 107 undergoing complete tonsillectomy from 1998 through 2002 for OSDB there was no evidence of significant tonsillar regrowth. (1) We will follow-up children undergoing partial or complete tonsillectomies at the Cleveland Clinic from 1998 through 2002. There will be standardized tonsillar examinations by two observers, with a third observer in cases of significant disagreement, and questionnaires evaluating sleep apnea and daytime sleepiness, and number of tonsillar infections. If there are a large number of children with recurrent tonsillar symptoms post partial tonsillectomy, the procedure should be abandoned. However, if follow-up reveals comparable tonsillar symptoms for partial and the total tonsillectomy, perhaps the partial procedure should replace the total tonsillectomy as the standard operation to relieve tonsillar OSDB. This could eventually result in millions of less lost days of work and school in the United States.
