Filter by:This study aimed to determine the experiences of primary caregivers of patients with tracheostomies on tracheostomy suctioning procedure. This is a semi-structured qualitative study.
The goal of this investigator-initiated, open label study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ARINA-1 in people with a tracheostomy. Participants will attend study visits at Screening, Baseline, Day 14, Day 28, and Day 56. There will be 3 safety phone calls at Days 2, 7, and 21. Participants will nebulize the ARINA-1 solution twice daily for 28 days
Objective of this case series was to evaluate the characteristics of early COVID-19 tracheostomy and its effect on laboratory parameters. A series of 17 patients with COVID-19undergo surgical tracheostomy in our intensive care unit. Demographic parameters, duration indicators, and laboratory parameters before and after tracheostomy were analyzed in patients. Of the 17 patients, 4 were men and 13 women with a mean age of 59 years. The average length of total hospitalization were 12 days, the length of stay in intensive care were 10 days, the length of endotracheal intubation were 9 days, with the seventh day of tracheotomy. Neurological and thyroid diseases and withdrawal had a statistically significant difference (p <0.05), with laboratory parameters without statistically difference. Critically ill COVID-19 patients undergoing early tracheostomy has a lower possibility of weaning from mechanical ventilation, and early tracheostomy itself has no significant effect on renal parameters, lactate and D-Dimer.
After ENT cancer surgery, postoperative respiratory complications are common, especially after tracheostomy. The objective of this study is to characterize the pulmonary status of patients after ENT cancer surgery. We wish to collect and analyze the pulmonary abnormalities revealed by the ultrasound scans performed in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), at day 1 and at day 2 after ENT cancer surgery with tracheostomy.
Speaking valve seems to have a beneficial influence on breathing and secretion management in certain patients with tracheostomy. The investigators plan to use a speaking valve during respiratory physical therapy sessions in participants with disturbances of consciousness, who have a tracheostomy, with no need of a mechanical ventilation.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of animation-based mobile application and simulation-based training methods on tracheal aspiration knowledge and skills of patient relatives who care for patients with tracheostomy/tracheotomy. Experimental pre-test-post-test control group study design was planned.
Description of a technical modification of percutaneous tracheostomy that involves a safety method for confirming the intratracheal location of the needle at the time of puncture, with preventing serious complications such as false passage or damage to the posterior tracheal wall, without coadjuvant technique
The aim of this study is to investigate the use of Edi in patients under the endotracheal tube and tracheostomy, and analysis of cardiopulmonary parameters in adult patients.
How timing of tracheostomy in COVID-19 patients changed and its impact on mortality in patients with severe COVID-19 ARDS
This study is part of a larger PhD project. The aim of the overall project is to provide evidence to help healthcare staff choose the best size tracheostomy breathing tube for patients in intensive care. There are no clear guidelines on how to choose the size of tracheostomy tubes currently. The aim of this part of the project is to compare methods of choosing the size tracheostomy tube for patients. Four methods are based on easily recorded physical characteristics of the participants (sex, height, Body Mass Index and shoulder width). A fifth method is based on measurement of the windpipe (trachea). We will recruit patients and staff at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. We will measure their height, weight and shoulder width, and record their age and sex. We will use ultrasound to measure each participant's trachea. We will calculate the recommended tube size using the five methods above. We will compare how well the first four methods agree with the method based on measurements of the trachea. The results of this study will inform healthcare staff how well the different ways of choosing the size of tube relate to the fit of a tube in the trachea.
