Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Aspiration"

This is a pilot study which will assess the feasibility of a follow on main study. This study will examine the impact of inspiratory muscle training on quality of life, rescue drug medication usage, and other markers of asthma in adult asthmatics in the UK.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, multicenter, non-inferiority study. The study will enroll adult and adolescent asthmatic subjects who are currently receiving mid dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) plus long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) (equivalent to fluticasone propionate [FP]/salmeterol 250/50 microgram [mcg]twice daily [BD]), either via a fixed dose combination product or through separate inhalers. The study consists of a LABA washout period of 5 days and a run-in period of 4 weeks, followed by a treatment period of 24 weeks, and a follow up contact period of one week. The total duration of the study is 30 weeks. Approximately 1461 subjects will be randomized to one of the following three treatments (487 per treatment): fluticasone furoate (FF)/vilanterol (VI) 100/25 mcg once daily (OD) in the evening (PM) via ELLIPTA™ inhaler plus placebo BD via ACCUHALER™/DISKUS™; FP/salmeterol 250/50 mcg BD via ACCUHALER/DISKUS inhaler plus placebo OD (PM) via ELLIPTA inhaler; FP 250 mcg BD via ACCUHALER/DISKUS inhaler plus placebo OD (PM) via ELLIPTA inhaler. In addition, all subjects will be supplied with albuterol/salbutamol inhalation aerosol to use as needed to treat acute asthma symptoms. This study will determine if FF/VI 100/25 mcg OD via ELLIPTA inhaler is non-inferior to FP/salmeterol 250/50 mcg BD via ACCUHALER/DISKUS inhaler in adult and adolescent asthmatic subjects already adequately controlled on a twice-daily ICS/LABA.

A growing body of knowledge has documented that the diaphragm, the primary muscle of breathing, atrophies and weakens within days of instituting mechanical ventilation support. Diaphragm weakness has been implicated as a major contributor to difficulty with weaning, or breathing without ventilator support. This study will test whether instituting a diaphragm strength training rehabilitation program will reduce the time patients require mechanical ventilation in a surgical intensive care setting.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study to compare once daily nebulized Revefenacin with Spiriva once daily delivered via the HandiHaler® on lung function in subjects with COPD and a Low Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate.

Individuals who have undergone the Fontan procedure are uniquely dependent upon respiratory mechanics to support pulmonary blood flow (PBF). The investigators hypothesized that enhanced respiratory muscle function via inspiratory muscle training (IMT) would improve performance on cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing (CPET).

This study will provide the evidence that during the postoperative period deep breathing exercise combined with physical training can positively influence the sleep duration and quality.

The study will examine the usability of a breathing platform in the home environment. It will be a randomized, open-label crossover study of 10 participants who will complete the CBT and breathing components in their home, prior to sleeping. Usability will be measured by scores assigned by participants. Qualitative feedback and compliance information will also be collected.

The investigators hypothesized that pulse pressure variation (PPV) could predict fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients undergoing anesthesia induction.

Sixty patients with 25-45 years of age presenting post burn inhalation injury, randomly distributed into two equal groups, 30 patients for each group. control group receive conventional chest physiotherapy (diaphragmatic respiratory exercises, apical breathing exercises) for (15-20) minutes 3times/week and medical treatment for 4 weeks as a total period of treatment. study group will receive pilates exercise in addition to their conventional chest physiotherapy for (15-20) minutes 3times/week and medical treatment for 4 weeks as a total period of treatment, computerized spirometer assessment before treatment are ( The following variables were measured: forced vital capacity (PVC%) and forced ·expiratory volume in one second (FEVl %) and peak expiratory flow (PEF %)and after one month
