Active clinical trials for "Hyperoxia"

Our aim is to compare the effects of 80% and 40% Fraction of inspired oxygen on oxidative stress, antioxidant response (in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage), extubation quality, preanesthetic and postanesthetic expiration tidal volumes.

The purpose of this research study is to understand the effect of nutritional ketosis on CNS oxygen toxicity in undersea divers. The investigators hope this will provide a starting point to develop methods for improving the safety of Navy divers, warfighters and submariners.

Abdominal surgery commonly requires perioperative relaxation and therefore controlled mechanical ventilation. However, respiratory support can be associated with minor, yet clinically significant changes in blood gas content. The inadvertent hyperoxia (excessively high oxygen) and/or hypocapnia (excessively low carbon dioxide) can result in transient changes in cerebral blood flow and cognitive impair.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the FreeO2 system on the quality of the oxygen therapy in confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 patients in the emergency department.

Finger pulse oximetry SpO2 is widely used to estimate arterial oxygen saturation SaO2. Current Spo2 targets do not take into consideration the many variables that affect that correlation in particular skin pigmentation. This study aims to evaluate different FDA approved pulse oximeters (Nonin co-pilot, massimo Radical 7, Philips-standard of care monitor, innovo premium iP900BP, nellcor PM1000N, Nano100) with SaO2 reference values obtained by an arterial blood gas in subjects with different skin pigments measured by a skin color scale as well as self-identification of race.

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of intraoperative oxygen (O2), which was applied at 30% and 50% concentrations on patients who had undergone septoplasty surgery, on Total Oxidant Status (TOS), Total Antioxidant Status (TAS), and Oxidative Stress Index (OSI).

It has been shown in in vitro and animal models that hypoxia can have pro-inflammatory effects and hyperoxia can have anti-inflammatory effects. The pro-inflammatory effect could be the result of activation of Hypoxia Inducible Factor, a transcription factor that is known to activate many cell systems aimed at cell survival, including the inflammatory response. The anti-inflammatory effects of hyperoxia could be the annihilation of Hypoxia Inducible Factor, but also a decrease in inflammation due to oxygen toxicity resulting in a decrease in clearance of pathogens. These effects have been sparsely studied in humans. Therefore, we hypothesize that hypoxia results in an increase in Hypoxia Inducible Factor in circulating leukocytes and increases inflammatory reactions, whereas hyperoxia decreases these reactions.

Due to the increased risk of brain damage, continuous monitoring of the cerebral oxygenation is interesting. The investigators will evaluate the capability of the INVOS Oximeter to detect induced changes in the cerebral regional saturation. The purpose of the study is to investigate our hypothesis that cerebral vasoconstriction after oxygen exposure is prolonged in preterm infants compared to term infants.

This study aims to evaluate the risk of hyperoxia-induced hypercapnia in post-op obese cardiac surgery patients. It will compare two oxygenation modes in terms of their effect on the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) : manual titration of oxygen delivery for a peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) target of > or = 95 % versus automatic titration by a closed-loop system for a SpO2 target of 90%. 15 post-op obese cardiac surgery patients will be recruited and each will receive both interventions (cross-over design). The main outcome will be the PaCO2, which will be compared after each study period. The research hypothesis is that the usual SpO2 target of > or = 95 % is associated with a greater PaCO2 compared with a lesser SpO2 target of 90%.

In our study, we aimed to observe the usability of non-invasive monitoring methods in oxygenation management, using non-invasive monitoring techniques, preventing hyperoxia and avoiding oxidative damage-related complications in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery.
