Filter by:Traumatic injuries, defined as a physical injury with sudden onset, are a leading cause to disability and impaired health. Persons who sustain a traumatic injury often report problems in daily life activities and reduced quality of life, which may limit participation in work/studies, leisure activities and family life. Consequently, complex rehabilitation and support is recommended in National Trauma guidelines due to the often long-lasting physical and psychological sequela of the injury. The main goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a self-management support program delivered to persons with a moderate or severe traumatic injury in the sub-acute phase of recovery (i.e. 3-4 months after injury). The self-management program aims to enhance patients' self-efficacy by building skills and self-management strategies to cope with injury-related consequences. The program has a group-based format and consists of eight sessions comprising psychoeducation, skill mastery and sharing of experiences. The participants who will be included in the study must be between 18 and 70 years, be residing in the southeast region of Norway, be admitted to Oslo University hospital or transferred from local hospital within 72 hours after injury, have at least a two-day hospital stay, and be able to read and understand Norwegian language. Participants will be randomly assigned to either intervention or control group. A group of patients will also be able to self-select if they want to receive the self-management support program or be in the control group. The latter is an explorative part of the study to evaluate the influence of patients' treatment-preferences on the study outcomes. Participants in the control group will receive treatment as usual.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the occurrence of hypoxemia (an abnormally low concentration of oxygen in the blood) in trauma patients within the first 24 hours of hospital admission following arrival to a trauma center. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Do trauma patients experience hypoxemia during the initial 24 hours of hospital admission following trauma? - What is the daily distribution of potential hypoxemic episodes? The investigators expect that hypoxemic episodes will be more frequent during the night (20.00-07.59) than during the day (08.00-19.59) An additional pulse oximeter will be attached to the participants, which measures oxygen saturation in the blood during the first 24 hours of hospital admission after trauma.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare usability and performance of automatic tourniquets (AUT) and standard mechanical tourniquets (CAT) in healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are AUTs effective in occlusion of blood flow - Are AUTs easy to use Participants will be asked to place AUT and CAT on their upper limbs and lower limbs (8 applications overall). Following each application, the following parameters will be assessed: 1. Limb blood flow 2. Ease of use Researchers will compare the results of the AUT and CAT to see if AUT is as effective as CAT in blood occlusion, and if AUT is easy to use as the CAT.
There is no educational injury prevention model uniquely suited for kindergarten and first grade (K-1) students. The Teddy Bear Injury Clinic (TBIC) is a unique modification of the teddy bear clinic to facilitate classroom injury prevention teaching The TBIC will be administered to K-1 students, aged 5-7 years. Initial analysis will be descriptive and qualitative. Subsequent randomization of students to test and control groups followed by statistical analysis will be done to evaluate for effectiveness of the educational model
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a procedure that has the goal to stabilize trauma patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage by temporarily occluding the aorta with a ballon catheter to increase central perfusion and stop uncontrollable bleeding from the diaphragm downwards. The investigators are planning to evaluate all patients who had a REBOA catheter placed at their clinic or in the pre-clinical setting from the start of 2019 to the 31.12.2022 who were transferred to their clinic, with basic demographic and clinical data, the procedural specifics, and their potential complications.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a massive open online course (MOOC) for training lay first responders in sub-Saharan Africa. The research team will assess educational outcomes of first responder training implemented at program locations in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Kenya, through previously validated pre- and post-course survey instruments, standardized patient assessments, and incident reporting. The research team will investigate efficacy of MOOC training amongst diverse populations with variable technology literacy and utilize data gathered to develop more efficient means of disseminating basic first aid training information.
Traumatic rib fractures (i.e., broken ribs caused by a physical injury) are common and very painful. They also often lead to serious complications, more time spent in hospital, and can even lead to death. Even after rib fractures have healed, they can lead to long-term pain and a lower quality of life. A technology called cryoneurolysis, which acts to freeze nerves causing pain using a small tool which can turn very cold, is a promising new way to manage rib fracture pain. This study is a test with a small number of people to see if it is feasible to use this technology for patients with rib fractures. If this is successful, we will recruit more people for a larger study to see if cryoneurolysis, along with standard pain control techniques, is better at stopping pain, compared to just the normal techniques alone. Participants in our study will be asked to rate their pain, and record pain medications that they take for 3 months after their pain procedure.
The goal of this study is to assess the MUST MINI system safety in patient who will undergo a posterior cervical spine fusion intervention. Patients will be invited to partecipate during preoperative visit and follow the postoperative visits according to the standard practice.
The purpose of this study is to identify the effect dronabinol has on opioid exposure when used as an adjunct to the current standard multi-modal pain regimen (MMPR)
This is a pilot prospective, observational study of patients with open or infected fracture evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of OCT, a light-based imaging modality that requires no drug or contrast agent.
