Filter by:Patients hospitalized with tachypnea, defined as respiratory rate ≥20/ min, have substantial mortality and may suffer from different conditions, including acute heart failure (HF). Symptoms of HF can be difficult to identify and ~15% of patients with HF will not be correctly diagnosed by the treating physician in the Emergency Department. Biomarkers like B-type natriuretic peptides and cardiac troponins improve diagnostic accuracy and risk stratification. Whether early, structured biomarker assessment and structured feedback in the patient's electronic health records improve management and outcomes among unselected patients with tachypnea have previously not been explored in a randomized controlled trial. The main research question of the study is to determine whether early structured biomarker assessment in unselected patients with tachypnea extends the time to the first event for either (1) all-cause readmission or (2) all-cause mortality; i.e. time to the combined endpoint, compared to the current strategy/standard care
Neonatal respiratory morbidities represent a common group of post natal complications including respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnea of newborn, and persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn. It is thought that preoperative vaginal misoprostol administration may decrease the incidence of neonatal respiratory morbidity especially transient tachypnea of newborn. And therefore, it may decrease the incidence of admission to neonatal intensive care units for respiratory causes.
