Filter by:Tracheal intubation (TI) is associated with a high risk of adverse events in critically ill patients and peri-intubation hemodynamic collapse is the most commonly observed. The primary aim of the PREVENTION trial is to compare the effect of the pre-emptive use of noradrenaline versus no peri-intubation use of noradrenaline on incidence of cardiovascular collapse following TI in adult critically ill patients. Patients with absolute indication or contraindication to vasopressor support will be excluded from this trial. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to a continuous infusion of noradrenaline started before induction titrated according to baseline mean arterial pressure. The primary outcome will be the incidence of cardiovascular collapse. Secondary outcomes will include lowest systolic blood pressure and cardiac arrest within 30 minutes from intubation.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most common cause of cardiogenic shock (CS), and CS is the most common cause of death in patients with AMI. Percutaneous mechanical circulation is one of the most important techniques in the treatment of AMICS. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most commonly used mechanical circulatory assist device in clinic. However, the existing clinical evidence shows that IABP can not improve the clinical outcome of patients with AMICS. As for impella and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) system, there was still no difference in overall mortality compared with IABP in AMICS. Until now, IABP-shock II study is the largest randomized controlled study so far. However, this study has limitations. In a recent retrospective study, the project team investigated the use of IABP and the outcomes of more than 300 AMI cases in three provincial capitals of Northeast China in 2016. It was found that the 28 day survival rate of patients in the early use of IABP group was significantly higher than that in the late use group. The investigators speculate that IABP may significantly improve the clinical outcomes of patients with AMICS if it can be used in the earlier stage of CS (stage B). This multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled study will involve 512 participants in about 15 centers. Patients diagnosed with AMI (including STEMI and NSTEMI) complicated with shock stage B (SCAI definition criteria) received early revascularization (PCI or CABG) and standardized drug treatment according to the current guidelines before meeting the study inclusion criteria. After reviewing the inclusion criteria, participants were randomized to two groups (IABP group and control group) in a ratio of 1:1. The investigators speculated that IABP could significantly improve the clinical outcomes of patients with AMICS if it could be used in the earlier stage of CS (stage B). At present, there is no clinical study on the use of IABP in AMICS (stage B). It is worth carrying out the corresponding clinical research, in order to study the real role of IABP in patients with AMICS and explore the treatment strategy of AMICS in line with China's national conditions.
This prospective observational study aims to test the efficacy of the continuous measurement of exhaled methane levels in monitoring the hemodynamic state of severely injured, bleeding trauma patients.
This study aims to develop a predictive model for the outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock
Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening complication during the perioperative period. Perioperative anaphylaxis is still associated with a significant mortality despite quick and efficient management using epinephrine, the mainstay of acute treatment. Experimental data and few case reports are suggesting that hemostasis, and more precisely platelets, could play a role in anaphylaxis. Our main hypothesis is that activation of the hemostatic system contributes to the severity of the reaction
In septic shock patients, the hemodynamic coherence between systemic, regional and microcirculatory blood flow can be tracked by "capillary refill time (CRT) response to an increase in stroke volume induced by a rapid fluid challenge". A parallel improvement in regional blood flow, microcirculation and hypoperfusion-related parameters should be expected in CRT-responders as reflection of preserved hemodynamic coherence. CRT non-response is associated with a more severe systemic inflammatory state, endothelial and microvascular dysfunction, and a higher adrenergic tone. The objective of this study is to determine if CRT response after a rapid fluid challenge signals a state of hemodynamic coherence as demonstrated by a parallel improvement in regional and microcirculatory blood flow in CRT-responders, and to explore the pathophysiological mechanisms associated to CRT non-response.
The primary aim of this trial is to compare the effect of acetated ringer's solution with that of saline for therapy on the incidence and development of major adverse renal events among septic shock patients. The investigators hypothesize that use of acetated ringer's solution for resuscitation among septic shock patients will reduce the incidence of major adverse kidney events.
Research on health literacy among caregivers of children with IgE-mediated allergy at risk of anaphylaxis (life-threatening allergic reaction). Health literacy is a person's ability to understand health information so that they can maintain or improve their health and quality of life (of themself and children). The aim of the study is to test the general knowledge of anaphylaxis. Furthermore we test the extent to which caregivers consider themselves able to recognize and to treat anaphylaxis.
In this prospective randomized controlled trial, investigators aim to study the effects and safety of bicarbonated Ringer's solution in patients with septic shock compared with lactated ringer's solution, and provide evidence for current fluid resuscitation strategies for septic shock.
Fluid resuscitation is an important treatment in septic shock patients, however whether crystalloid composition affects septic shock patients outcomes remains unclear. According to previous studies, low-chlorine crystalloids could significantly reduce the incidence of kidney injury and 30-day mortality compared with high-chlorine crystalloids in critically ill adults. Therefore, we hypothesized that the use of low-chlorine crystalloids would result in a lower incidence of major adverse kidney events within 30 days (MAKE 30: overall incidence of death, new renal-replacement therapy, and persistent renal dysfunction) than high-chlorine crystalloids in septic shock adults.
