Filter by:The goal of this study is to evaluate if hypertonic saline solution can prevent or attenuate acute kidney injury after heart transplantation in the early postoperative phase.
Renal failure is a common complication of lung transplant (LUTX). Early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in this cohort is of utmost importance, since AKI after LUTX is associated with worsened short and long-term outcomes. To now, early biomarkers of renal failure based on the measurement of cell-cycle arrest proteins have never been tested in this population.
The investigators hypothesize that Heterotopic Ossification (HO) formation can be suppressed if the application of a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) device can be performed for a substantial amount of time. The investigators will use the following study design: a pilot study with 10 ICU patients receiving CPM and 10 matched cases which will follow a conventional physiotherapy program at the time of the conduction of the study. The comparison between the treatment and referent groups of the outcomes will prove the prophylactic power of CPM against HO.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a programme based on inspiratory and expiratory muscle training to improve respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and avoid pulmonary complications in adults with cervical or high dorsal spinal cord injury (C5-D5) in acute phase.
The objectives are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Dressing Kit for wound bed preparation in open wounds with extensive soft tissue damage in this trial.
This is a post-market, observational and non-interventional registry to collect real-world data in diverse clinical settings and wound applications of acellular fish skin graft (FSG). The registry will be multi-center , target a wide patient population and a variety of wounds to document the quality of wound care, patient outcomes, safety and long-term results.
It is very important to choose the best central venous catheterization route for trauma patients, the determinants that need to be considered comprehensively include coagulation dysfunction, fracture of the clavicle on the side of the puncture, and tracheotomy care. More importantly, whether it can used simultaneously for accurate volume and invasive hemodynamic monitoring. For the purpose of support of cardiopulmonary function, the ideal position of the catheter tip is vital with regard to an accurate CVP and hemodynamic monitoring. Cannulation of the axillary vein is ideal for patients with severe poly-trauma because it avoids the thoracic cavity, intercostal arteries, tracheostomy, and clavicle, and is prone to compression even if the artery is injured. At present, there is no systematic introduction of ultrasound-guided axillary vein catheterization in the trauma ICU in the literature. Since Oct 2021, the investigators have attempted to practice axillary vein catheterization for this crucial trauma population; unfortunately, the investigators have not know till now whether this procedure is associated with accurate tip placement and its safety should also be weighted. So it is necessary to summarize the relevant clinical data.
This study intends to use a prospective study design method to continuously collect immune cell and inflammatory factor data of 5ml peripheral blood and 10ml joint fluid from 200 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in our department from January 2020 to January 2022. The aim is to analyze the impact of changes in inflammatory factors before and after surgery on postoperative recovery.
This study is evaluating a new therapeutic use of electrical stimulation to promote nerve healing and improve functional recovery following surgical intervention for peripheral nerve injury in arm. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups, treatment or control, with all participants receiving standard of care treatment for the nerve injury. The treatment group will also receive a single dose of the therapeutic stimulation during the surgical intervention for their nerve injury.
In this study, based on the conceptual framework of Pressure Injurie development, the risk factors for pressure injury in critically ill patients provided by the latest guidelines, and combined with the current relevant studies on mucosal pressure injury, we prospectively observed and collected clinical data related to tracheal intubation patients in the ICU, analyzed the risk factors for the occurrence of oral MPI, and established a risk prediction model to help clinical and nursing staff to detect and actively prevent oral MPI at an early stage The study aims to improve the quality of nursing management, enhance the level of nursing services and improve patient satisfaction.
