Filter by:Chest physiotherapy and breathing exercises are an important non-pharmacological treatment modality in order to prevent and minimize postoperative respiratory complications in patients undergoing open heart surgery. Different respiratory techniques are used after cardiac surgery, but there is no opinion about which technique or exercise is effective. The purpose of this study, practical application of chest physiotherapy to patients who have had open heart surgery in Turkey and to identify methods of breathing exercises.
This study evaluates the effects of a nasal restriction device for inspiratory muscle training (FeelBreathe) after 8 weeks of exercise intervention on exercise capacity, quality of life, dyspnea and inspitarotory muscle strength in patients with stable COPD. Participants were divided in three groups: 1) exercise intervention using the Feelbreathe® device (FB group), 2) exercise intervention with oronasal breathing without FB (ONB group) and 3) no participation in the exercise intervention as control group (CG).
Overall objective: To understand the feasibility of performing a randomized trial using a simple, minimally-invasive postural therapy approach to improve sleep disordered breathing (SDB).
Stable angina is a cardiac pathology that adversely affects the quality of life of the patient, which develops as a result of narrowing of the coronary vessels developing in atherosclerotic ground and / or impaired oxygen supply-need balance. Studies widely investigated the effects of exercise training in patients with stable angina. No study investigated the effects of inspiratory muscle training in patients with stable angina.Investigators aimed to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on aerobic exercise capacity, quality of life, depression, peripheral and respiratory (MIP, MEP) muscle strength, pulmonary function, dyspnea, fatigue in stable angina patients.
Background & Objective: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is known to improve strength and endurance of inspiratory muscles. However, clinical beneficial effects of IMT for patients with chronic respiratory disease remain inconclusive. The purposes of the study are to investigate in patients with chronic respiratory disease: (Year 1) main (diaphragm) and accessory inspiratory muscle (sternocleidomastoid muscle) activation pattern during various IMT loading using group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM); and (Year 2) effectiveness of individualized IMT program (based on results of Year 1) on clinical outcomes. Methods: (Year 1) Patients with chronic respiratory disease with inspiratory muscle weakness will be recruited for the study. Patients will perform 3 inspiratory loading tests (15%, 30%, and 50% of maximum inspiratory pressures) on 3 separate days with the sequence will be randomized. Surface electromyography (EMG) of diaphragm and sternocleidomastoid muscle will be used to use inspiratory muscle activation during various conditions. Other outcomes include maximum inspiratory pressure, and functional exercise capacity will be measured. Inspiratory muscle activation will be used for GBTM analysis. Patient will then be trained with individualized IMT program based on the GBTM analysis input form results of Year 1.
Bioequivalence study between two inhaler products of fixed dose combination of fluticasone propionate and salmeterol xinafoate inhalation powder
In this study, a system will be developed to guide patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to complete a mindful breathing practice at home. COPD is the third leading cause of death in the United States and no cure exists. Shortness of breath is the most common disabling symptom. Pursed lips breathing is a type of breathing practice that has demonstrated effectiveness for patients with COPD. It requires practice to maintain and there is currently no home system to provide the needed feedback and support to maintain PLB. Additionally, syncing breathing and heart rate variation offers patients additional benefits. The proposed project explores the use of biofeedback to guide COPD patients in a breathing practice and to provide data for health coaching to monitor and support the practice.
In a prospective observational study, the investigators investigate the prevalence of sleep disordered breathing in patients with severe valvular regurgitation and the effect of using the minimal invasive Clip technique on sleep disordered breathing.
The purpose of this study is to measure the feasibility of use of a digital pulmonary rehabilitation tool compared with standard care home program pulmonary rehabilitation.
Sugammadex is the first selective relaxant binding agent approved to reverse certain non-depolarizing neuromuscular drugs in patients 2 years old and above. Although it has been in use over the last 10 years, more pharmacological studies are needed to understand its overall effects on participants. As investigators' primary outcome, the investigators aimed to investigate how differently sugammadex reverses neumuscular blockade caused by rocuronium under general anesthesia maintenance with sevoflurane compared with desflurane. Also, to compare the changes in peak airway pressure. As investigators' secondary outcome, the investigators aimed to compare the changes in heart rate and blood pressures after sugammadex injection under sevoflurane and desflurane general anesthesia.
