Propofol-induced EEG Changes in Hypoxic Brain Injury
Hypoxic-Ischemic EncephalopathyCardiac ArrestPROPEA3 is a prospective observational study investigating the recovery of propofol-induced EEG slow-wave activity and its association with neurological outcome after cardiac arrest.
Reverse Trendelenburg Positioning and Its Effect on Outcomes: a Retrospective Study of Consecutive...
AspirationRespiratory3 moreThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether intraoperative reverse Trendelenburg positioning decreases postoperative hypoxemia and perioperative pulmonary aspiration rates.
Accuracy of Owlet Smart Sock Sensor 3rd Generation With Profound Hypoxia
HypoxiaPerformance testing of pulse oximeters. The protocol involves brief stable arterial oxygen desaturation in healthy volunteers and sampling arterial blood when a stable level of hypoxia has been attained. The blood sample is analyzed for oxygen saturation with a gold standard bench CO-oximeter. This protocol is aligned with the latest ISO and FDA guidance documents for pulse oximeter testing.
HFLVV for Hypoxemia in Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery
HypoxemiaThese robot-assisted cardiac surgeries usually require single-lung ventilation (SLV) to facilitate surgical exposure. SLV creates ventilation/perfusion mismatch and shunt (Qs:Qt) through the collapsed lung and leads to hypoxemia. Pulmonary gas exchange often deteriorates after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) because of ischemic tissue damage. In some cases, severe hypoxemia may require the cessation of surgical procedures and the initiation of double-lung ventilation to improve oxygenation. In this study, the investigator applied the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or the high-frequency low-volume ventilation (HFLVV) to the non-dependent lung (differential ventilation) during the weaning from CPB. The investigator hypothesized that the differential ventilation would produce the least interference with the surgeon's exposure and better oxygenation. The investigators evaluate the airway pressure, shunt fraction, PaO2/FiO2, cerebral oximetry, surgical field condition and the length of stay in intensive care unit of patients underwent the robot-assisted cardiac surgery.
Automatic Oxygen Titration With O2matic® to Patients Admitted With COVID-19 and Hypoxemic Respiratory...
Covid19Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure1 morePatients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and pneumonitis often have hypoxemic respiratory failure and a need of supplementary oxygen. Guidelines recommend controlled oxygen, for most patients with a recommended interval of SpO2 between 92 and 96 %. We aimed to determine if closed-loop control of oxygen was feasible in patients with COVID-19 and could maintain SpO2 in the specified interval.
The Diagnosis of Occult Deep Vein Thrombosis of the Lower Extremities in Patients Presenting With...
HypoxiaThe purpose of this study is to prove that bedside Ultrasound Compression is a useful screening tool for the diagnosis of occult deep vein thrombosis in patients presenting to the emergency room with hypoxia.
Reproducibility of 6 Minute Walk Tests for Oxygen Desaturation
HypoxemiaAnoxia1 moreThis trial will test the hypothesis that the 6 minute walk test (6MWT) is not reproducible as a measure for oxygen desaturation.
Patient Selection for Hypoxia Modifying Treatments in Larynx Carcinomas
Larynx CancerThe purpose of this study is to identify in a prospective manner microregional profiles of oxygenation and proliferation based on exogenous and endogenous markers that are predictive for outcome of radiotherapy in squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and to investigate if these profiles can identify patients that are most likely to benefit from hypoxia modifying treatment strategies like ARCON (Accelerated radiotherapy combined with carbogen breathing and nicotinamide).
Hypoxia-Specific Imaging to Predict Outcomes of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Therapy
Recurrent Aggressive Non-Hodgkin LymphomaRecurrent Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma10 moreThis study evaluates whether tumors present in patients with cancer who are planned to get CAR T-cells have low amounts of oxygen (hypoxia). PET scans may be used to check the amounts of oxygen within areas of cancer with a special radioactive tracer called FAZA that specifically looks for areas of low oxygen. This study is being done to help researchers determine how the amount of oxygen within areas of cancer affect how well CAR T-cells kill cancer cells.
Awake Proning in COVID-19 Patients With Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Oxygen DeficiencyCoronavirus InfectionThe purpose of this study is to retrospectively review clinical data to determine whether awake proning improves oxygenation in spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19 severe hypoxemic respiratory failure.
