The Effects of Secondary Smoking During One Lung Ventilation

SmokingOxygen Deficiencies

Smoking and perhaps secondary smoking is associated with many perioperative and postoperative complications, especially respiratory events. Hypoxemia and airway damage can be associated with secondary smoking. The aim of study is to predict the incidence of hypoxemia and airway damage during one lung ventilation for lobectomy.

Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Biomarkers

Neurological OutcomeCardiac Arrest10 more

Few early prognostic indicators are currently available for patients' families and clinicians following out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and blood biomarkers may be of prognostic value in these cases. Brain tissue is highly dependent upon aerobic respiration, and oxygen deprivation result in irreversible neuronal cell injury. Peptides released into the blood by injured neuronal cells can be measured to estimate degree of injury, and potentially predict long term neurological outcome.

Pimo Study: Extracellular Vesicle-based Liquid Biopsy to Detect Hypoxia in Tumours

Cancer

The purpose of this study is to test the potential of a relatively simple serum assay that aims to identify patient subpopulations whose curative radiotherapy outcome is likely to be compromised by radiobiological tumour hypoxia (prognostic value) and who are most likely to gain (predictive value) from the addition of radiation sensitiser drugs or targeted radiotherapy dose escalation.

Combined Intracerebral and Jugular Bulb Microdialysis

Subarachnoid HemorrhageHypoxia Ischemia3 more

The first aim of this study is to investigate the frequency and severity of a specific pathological metabolic pattern, mitochondrial dysfunction, of the brain in comatose patients under neurocritical care. This pattern is recognized as a complication after compromised blood flow to the brain and may be amenable to treatment. The other main aim of this study is to correlate patterns of metabolites between brain and jugular venous blood. It is probable but not proven that jugular venous microdialysis can mirror the global metabolic state of the brain.

Effect of Altitude on the Evolution of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

ARDSHypoxia2 more

The purpose of this piece of research is to assess the effect of altitude on the clinical evolution of ARDS. For this purpose, patients who live and receive care at sea level are compared with those who live and receive care at high altitudes. For reasons of convenience, a cut-point of 1500 meters above sea level was chosen. In addition to this, it will be sought to assess whether adjusting the cut-points for the severity categories of ARDS improves the ability to predict some adverse events, by comparison with unadjusted cut-points. The results of this research will probably be disruptive, and will provide the first information yet about the effect of altitude on ARDS; they will therefore be of great interest for the international scientific community and for the direct care of patients. A high bibliometric impact is to be expected.

Physiological Characteristics of High Altitude Climbers

HypoxiaExercise1 more

Climbing at high altitude and tolerating hypoxic environment require specific physiological adaptations. Large intersubjects differences exist regarding the ability to adapt to high altitude and hypoxia. The present study aims to characterise the physiological responses to hypoxia in a group of elite climbers by comparison to sea level athletes. We hypothesised that elite climbers would show better physiological responses to hypoxia and more preserved performances compared to sea level.

Non Invasive Evaluation of Muscle Hypoxia in COPD Patient (EVANIMUS)

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)Hypoxemia

Peripheral muscle oxidative function is altered in COPD(chronic obstrutive pulmonary disease) patients. Multiple factors could contribute to this dysfunction including chronic hypoxia and deconditioning (sedentarity). The evaluation of mitochondrial function is based on invasive method (muscle biopsy and in vitro respirometry) or magnetic resonance spectroscopy limited to small muscle groups. Recently, a non invasive method has been described using Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS). During arterial occlusion, muscle deoxygenation is only dependent of local oxygen consumption. The time constant recovery (k) of the deoxygenation during repeated ischemia periods has been shown to be correlated to measurements of maximal mitochondrial capacity. k is lower in COPD patients compared to smokers without bronchial obstruction. However, the influence of arterial hypoxia has never been studied precisely, no more than the confounding effect of deconditioning on k. So , the aim is to compare k in COPD patients with chronic hypoxemia (treated with long term oxygenotherapy, LTOT+ group) and patients without hypoxia, matched for their physical activity (LTOT- group). The hypothe is that k will be lower in LTOT+ group compared to LTOT- group and that short term O2 supplementation will improve it, which would suggest a muscle hypoxia. By contrast, O2 should not influence k in LOT- group, in whom it is mainly determined by muscle conditioning.

Intermittent Hypoxemia and Acute Kidney Injury Study (IHAKI Study)

Intermittent HypoxemiaAcute Kidney Injury1 more

This pilot study aims at investigating the relationship between intermittent hypoxemia (IH) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in preterm infants. AIM 1: Test the hypothesis that intermittent hypoxemia is associated kidney injury in preterm infants, as reflected by a rise in serum creatinine. AIM 2: Test the hypothesis that there is rise in acute kidney injury urinary biomarkers with increased intermittent hypoxemia.
