Active clinical trials for "Acidosis"

ST-analysis of the foetal ECG (STAN®) is another second line technique for intrapartum foetal monitoring. Combining ST-analysis with standard CTG interpretation aims to identify hypoxic foetuses more accurately than CTG alone. The STAN® method identifies changes in the ST-interval of the foetal ECG that occur in the presence of foetalcentral hypoxia The aim of this studie is to investigate if the foetal lactate blood sampling is still useful when STAN® monitoring is already being used as a second line technique for intrapartum foetal monitoring if the fetal heart rate is abnormal without a significant ST event Nowadays in the Montpellier hospital's protocol, the investigators have to check the value of lactate sampling in case of le STAN doesn't detect an ST event. So this studie can change the Montpellier hospital's protocol and avoid useless fetal blood sampling

This is a prospective mixed-design study focused on the long-term management of propionic aciduria (PA) and methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) with N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) maintenance therapy. Treatment characteristics, clinical outcomes, and healthcare utilization data of patients diagnosed PA or MMA treated >6 months therapy with NCG are collected at baseline, 12 months, 18 months, 36 months and 54 months. Qualitative interviews with adult patients and caregivers are conducted >6 months after study enrollment to gain a better understanding of the disease burden and the treatment burden of patients and their families.

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device DEXCOM G6 in non-critically patients treated for diabetic emergency such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Patients who have DKA require hourly monitoring of glucose (sugar) level which traditionally requires admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) for hourly fingerstick monitoring. With the use of CGM device, in this research study hourly fingerstick monitoring is replaced by continuous glucose monitor (CGM) which provides glucose levels continuously in real time for nurses and provider. The investigators are testing to see if in the future patients can be treated in the stepdown unit (an intermediate care level between the intensive care unit and the general medical unit) if they do not require higher level of care besides hourly glucose monitoring. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device DEXCOM G6 currently FDA Approved for patients with diabetes and is widely used for glucose monitoring in patients with diabetes in the outpatient setting. The investigators want to study the use of the DEXCOM G6 CGM in the inpatient setting to monitoring glucose levels remotely in the treatment of diabetic emergencies such as diabetic ketoacidosis and compare their care to those receiving hourly fingerstick glucose monitoring in the ICU.

The management goals of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1DM) population are fluid and electrolyte repletion, insulin administration, and correction of acidosis in order to stabilize the patient. Traditionally, a rapid-acting insulin IV infusion is begun immediately and continued until the acidosis is corrected and hyperglycemia normalized. Once the acidosis is corrected, patients are able to be transitioned to a subcutaneous insulin regimen. The role that a subcutaneous long-acting insulin such as glargine has in the acute treatment of DKA has not been extensively studied. While giving glargine during the treatment of DKA is becoming more common place, few studies have examined the potential risks and benefits of its use. This study will investigate the effects of early administration of glargine during DKA in patients with newly diagnosed TIDM. The design of this study is a prospective, double-blind study of children ages 2-21 who are admitted to the hospital in DKA with a diagnosis of T1DM. The control group will receive all traditional methods of treatment for DKA, including a placebo subcutaneous injection. The study group will receive the same treatment, but will be supplemented with a subcutaneous glargine injection.

This is a single-arm study to evaluate safety and tolerability of oral IW-6463 in adults diagnosed with MELAS.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of SZC as compared to placebo in maintaining normal sK+ in patients with hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis associated with CKD

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate whether administration of nitric oxide (NO)gas by oxygen hood at 20 ppm significantly increases PaO2, as compared to placebo gas (oxygen), within one hour of initiation and with no significant adverse effects.

This study is to evaluate whether thiamine can increase oxygen consumption and lower lactate in patients who initially survive an in-hospital cardiac arrest. Patients who are successfully resuscitated after an in-hospital cardiac arrest and who are on mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit will be enrolled, and will get either thiamine or placebo. Their oxygen consumption and lactate will be measured at serial time points and compared between groups. The investigators' hypothesis is that thiamine will help restore the body's ability to metabolize oxygen normally (aerobic metabolism), leading to an increase in oxygen consumption and a decrease in lactate.

The objective of this study is to assess the effect of alkali administration on bicarbonate and potassium levels in patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and depressed serum bicarbonate levels. The study is a prospective non-blinded evaluation of tolerability and efficacy of alkali repletion with 4 weeks of observation and two sequential 4 week courses of escalating oral sodium bicarbonate treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of TRC101 on the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to evaluate the safety profile of TRC101 in CKD patients with metabolic acidosis.
