Filter by:BACKGROUND: As the normal functioning of the body is dependent on oxygen, low blood oxygenation is a acute problem that needs immediate attention. Measurement of blood oxygenation is therefore central to monitor patients and is usually done using light technology with a clip on the finger. Philips manufactures a measuring clip that is designed to measure oxygenation in the nasal wing instead of the finger. The advantage of this is that the nose is not affected as much as the fingers by poor blood flow in the skin, for example caused by cold. The nose is also closer to the heart and lungs than the hand, so changes in oxygenation may be detected earlier. This newer meter is an approved CE-marked product that is available for clinical use, but the next step is to investigate it systematically during and after surgery.
Tissue perfusion has been identified as an early prognosis factor in patients admitted to intensive care. However, little is known about the effects of different hemodynamic interventions performed in clinical routine on peripheral tissue perfusion. The aim of this work is to study the kinetics of CRT and local skin blood flow following therapeutic intervention (fluid challenge, vasopressor or inotropic drug).
The main goal of this study is to look at the performance of the neonatal, infant, and pediatric Philips SpO2 sensors with the Philips FAST Pulse Oximetry technology. Oxygen saturation measurements (SpO2) will be obtained via pulse oximetry and invasive arterial oxygen measurements (SaO2) will be obtained via arterial blood samples as part of your clinical care and assessed by co-oximetry. The study will aim to enroll a diverse population to help us understand the impact of skin pigmentation.
Cardiac Intensive Care Units (CICUs) provide care for a diverse patient population. Understanding the clinical characteristics, analysis of treatment modalities, and prognosis of patients hospitalized in the CICU are important to improve cardiovascular care. The purpose of this registry is to determine the demographics, clinical, treatment, and prognosis of patients hospitalized in the Polish CICUs. Data from this multicenter, prospective observational study will provide more robust data to facilitate quantitative characterization of cardiac care in contemporary Polish CICUs and enable the development of infrastructure for clinical trials in CICUs.
This observational study investigates whether the daily measured trend of cardiac output as evaluated by indirect calorimetry correlates with the same evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography.
The purpose of the trial is to test if a strategy of resuscitation guided by capillary refill time and individualised clinical hemodynamic phenotyping can improve important clinical outcomes within 28 days in septic shock patients compared to usual care.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on the treatment of refractory distributed shock with angiotensin II injection, with a random ratio of 1:1. Assuming a success rate of 25% for the main therapeutic endpoint in the control group and 50% for the experimental group, a total of 214 subjects will be enrolled, including 107 in the experimental group and 107 in the control group.
Shocked patients require prompt and accurate assessment of their hemodynamic status to guide appropriate management. Echocardiography is a valuable tool for assessing cardiac function, while laboratory parameters such as mixed venous oxygen saturation and arterial blood lactate provide insights into tissue perfusion and oxygen metabolism. This study aims to compare echocardiographic findings, including cardiac index, speckle tracking parameters, and tissue Doppler indices, with laboratory findings in the evaluation of hemodynamic monitoring in shocked patients.
Preterm infants (born at less than 37 weeks of pregnancy) sometimes develop a serious blood infection leading to low blood pressure, which does not respond to saline or to the standard medicines for increasing blood pressure, such as dopamine and epinephrine. The goal of this research study is to compare the effect of giving an injectable medicine called Methylene blue (MB) versus not giving MB to such preterm infants who are unresponsive to standard treatment. The main questions that this study aims to answer is: 1. Whether MB treatment reduces death to any cause as compared to no MB treatment. 2. Whether treatment with MB reduces the time to achieve normal blood pressure 3. Whether treatment with MB reduces the time to stoppage of all blood pressure medications, steroids and normal saline. 4. Whether treatment with MB improves heart function as measured by echocardiography at 24 and 48 hours.
Rudiger and Singer suggested strategies for refining adrenergic stress (decatecholaminization). They proposed the use of dexmedetomidine and vasopressin to reduce the catecholamine load during sepsis. The investigators will use vasopressin as the primary vasopressor and a heart rate-calibrated dexmedetomidine infusion in septic shock patients. The investigators of the current study will use DEXPRESSIN in septic shock patients to investigate the effects of decatecholaminization on in-hospital mortality.
