Filter by:Title: Airway Approaches of Anesthesiology and Reanimation Physicians in Cervical Neck Trauma Patients in Turkey: A Survey Study This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, awareness levels, and equipment adequacy of anesthesiology and reanimation physicians in Turkey regarding airway management in cervical neck trauma patients through a 32-question online survey. The findings will inform targeted improvements in training and resource allocation to enhance clinical outcomes in this patient population.
The overarching goal of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility and safety of transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tan) in ICU patients with TBi and to determine the effect of tan on serum markers of inflammation. exploratory analyses will examine effects on such physiological parameters as blood pressure, heart rate, and intracranial pressure (iCP), as well as measures of neurological function.
There is accumulating evidence that neuromodulation by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex holds promise as a treatment for rehabilitation of motor function following a spinal cord injury. This study is designed to assess the clinical potential of non-invasive stimulation of the primary motor cortex to improve motor functions.The results will help to evaluate the clinical relevance of motor cortex stimulation for motor functions in patients with spinal cord injury. The outcomes of this study could potentially support the initiation of a larger clinical trial and the development of a new routine treatment.
AKI(Acute Kidney Injury) is a common complication after cardiac surgery which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The conventiional marker for detecting AKI is serum creatinine, however, which has many limits. RRI(Renal Resistive Index) is a non-invasive test measured by ultrasound and could be a useful tool to evaulate renal insult in the early phase. Early detection of renal insult and prevention of progression to AKI can contribute to reduing mortality and morbidity in cardiac surgical patients.
Assessment of consciousness and attention in individuals with severe Acquired Brain Injury (sABI) is crucial for planning rehabilitation, but it is often hindered by coexisting sensory-motor and/or cognitive-behavioural disorders. This project aims at evaluating the value of spontaneous eye blinking features to assess patients' attentional abilities and to distinguish patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) from those in minimally conscious state (MCS). Patients will undergo an EEG-EOG recording at rest and during an auditory oddball task. Eye blinking features on EOG will be analysed and compared to that of healthy individuals. A machine-learning-based algorithm using blinking features for the diagnosis of patients with sABI will be studied and validated preliminarily. This project will help to stratify patients with sABI using easy-to-detect clinical markers, supporting clinicians' decision-making about patient's management. Additionally, blinking patterns related to residual attentional abilities in patients emerged from disorders of consciousness will be investigated.
This study was planned to standardize foot care behaviors with a patient-participated care package approach, to ensure healing of existing wounds, and to evaluate the effect on foot care behaviors to prevent the development of new diabetic foot ulcers. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 97 patients, 49 patients in the care package group and 48 patients in the control group. Hypotheses of the Study H1. The foot care behaviors of patients who receive a patient-participatory care package approach to diabetic foot ulcer prevention will be higher than those of patients who do not receive a care package. H2. Patient-involved care package approach prevents the development of new diabetic foot ulcers. H3. Patient-involved care package approach provides healing of existing diabetic ulcers.
The purpose of this study is to determine if IN fentanyl (1.5 µg/kg) or IN ketamine (1 mg/kg) is more effective at 30 minutes than oral morphine (0.5 mg/kg) in reduction of moderate and severe pain associated with limb injuries in patients 2-17 years of age presenting to the ED.
Acute Decompensated Heart Failure ADHF is one of the leading causes of hospitalization. ADHF is a growing global health problem affecting more than 26 million individuals worldwide Acute Kidney Injury AKI is a common event in the natural disease history of patients with Heart Failure HF, The clinical importance of the co-existence of acute cardiac and renal dysfunction, known as acute cardiorenal syndrome CRS, and its management have recieved great attention recently Various studies have employed different criteria to define and calssify AKI. According to Risk, Injury, and Failure; and Loss, and End-stage kidney disease RIFLE criteria formulated by the Acute Dialyisis Quality Initiative ADQI AKI can be divided into five stages; renal injury risk, renal impairment, renal failure, renal function loss, and end stage kidney disease
The goal of this feasibility trial is to learn if exoskeleton or robotic walking works to reduce nerve (neuropathic) pain after spinal cord injury. This study asks is: - Providing walking practice through use of a robotic device (exoskeleton) three times per week for twelve weeks possible to deliver? - Would people sign up and stick to the programme? - And will it help to reduce neuropathic pain levels after spinal injury? Researchers will compare robotic walking and a relaxation program to see if robotic walking works to reduce neuropathic pain levels after spinal injury. Participants will: - Complete a number of questionnaires and tests related to their pain before the trial. - Complete robotic walking or a relaxation program three times per week for twelve weeks. - Complete the same questionnaires and tests after the trial finishes and 6 months after. - Complete an interview telling researchers about their experiences of the trial.
To develop and externally validate a risk prediction model for postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) in elderly patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery, addressing the current gap in predictive tools for this vulnerable population. The endpoint was the occurrence of PO-AKI within seven days following surgery. Diagnoses were based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criterion. Potential PO-AKI-related perioperative data were retrieved and extracted from electronic medical record for model derivation and validation. Clinicians may consider implementing this externally validated risk prediction model to stratify elderly patients' PO-AKI risks in the early postoperative phases of noncardiac surgery in elderly patients.
