Filter by:The aim of this study was to predict the effect of gastric antrum diameter before extubation on intra-abdominal pressure changes and consequently on the risk of pulmonary aspiration in patients undergoing elective spinal surgery under general anaesthesia in the prone position in the Neurosurgery Operating Theatre of the Ministry of Health Ankara City Hospital and to take precautions accordingly. Gastric antrum diameter and intraabdominal pressure measurements may contribute to the improvement of anaesthetic practice by reducing the risk of pulmonary aspiration and additional complications.
The purpose of this study to evaluate the correlation between children and parental dental anxiety as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of breathing exercises on anxiety reduction.
This project will use literature analysis, expert research, real-world data mining and other methods to investigate the current status of the application of antimicrobial aerosolized inhalation in healthcare institutions, combine expert recommendations and real-world data analysis results to explore potential risk points in the process of antimicrobial aerosolized drug delivery, and sort out the key points of drug use management in healthcare institutions and the key points of regulatory recommendations for healthcare institutions.
This research concerns children with complex neuro-disability. Damage to the developing brain leads to lifelong disturbances in motor control, seizures, cognition, communication, eating and drinking, and behaviour. Children with complex neuro-disability are dependent upon others to move and position them. Children commonly experience chronic lung disease, leading to frequent hospitalisation, medical interventions and premature death. Respiratory illness may be triggered by "aspiration", i.e. when saliva, food, liquid or stomach contents enter the lungs. Aspiration risks increase at night-time when supervision is limited and children are positioned on their backs. Some children experience repeated breathing complications requiring prolonged hospital stays including respiratory support in intensive care. Consultant Respiratory Paediatrician Akshat Kapur and Physiotherapist Hilda Perry developed a new night-time intervention to improve respiratory health of children with complex neuro-disability. Dr Kapur and his team have found that this intervention can help reduce respiratory illness and time spent in hospital for some children. This is an acceptability and feasibility study which means the investigators want to find out if this new intervention is something that children with complex neuro-disability and their families are happy (i.e. it is acceptable) and able (i.e. it is feasible) to do. If so, a larger future research study can be designed to find out if the intervention works to improve the respiratory health of children with complex neuro-disability.

This prospective double blinded randomized study aims to compare the effect of inhaled versus intravenous milrinone on the pulmonary vascular resistance in patients undergoing mitral valve replacement surgery. The primary outcome is to determine change in pulmonary artery pressure. The secondary outcomes include, - Incidence of systemic hypotension. - Hemodynamic affection and need of vasopressors and inotropes. - Change in pulmonary vascular resistance versus systemic vascular resistance. - Right ventricular function. - Duration of mechanical ventilation. - Need for mechanical circulatory support devices. - Urine output - Length of intensive care (ICU) in stay. As the investigators hypothesize that inhaled milrinone has a selective pulmonary vasodilator effect devoid of the systemic hypotension with the intravenous administration.

Sarcopenia, according to EWGSOP2(European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People-2019), is a progressive and generalised skeletal muscle disorder that is associated with increased likelihood of adverse outcomes including falls, fractures, physical disability, and mortality. Changes in muscle strength and muscle mass that occur with aging are not only limited to the skeletal muscles surrounding the axial and appendicular skeleton, but also occur in the respiratory muscles. With aging, respiratory muscle strength decreases, muscle mass decreases, and respiratory functions decline. In sarcopenic individuals; maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) and diaphragm muscle thickness values were found to be significantly lower. It is known that exercise is the most effective and valid way to treat sarcopenia. Considering the positive effects of IMT (Inspiratory Muscle Training) on both respiratory and physical parameters in the elderly population, we think that these changes can also be observed in sarcopenic individuals. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on diaphragm thickness, inspiratory muscle strength, and exercise capacity in sarcopenic individuals.
The proposed research study will be a prospective observational study designed to validate the Canadian Triage Assessment Scale (CTAS) in regard to work of breathing in patients in the emergency department. The investigators will assess inter-rater agreement between nurses & emergency physicians for assessment of work of breathing.
