Effectiveness and Safety of Inhaling Hypertonic Saline in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The use of inhaled hypertonic saline has been extensively documented in asthma, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis and COPD as method of bronchial challenge and sputum induction, but studies that evaluated others endpoints are required. The objective of this study was to analyse the effects of inhaling hypertonic saline compared with placebo with respect to functional exercise capacity, dyspnoea and quality of life. In a double-blind randomised parallel placebo-controlled trial, conducted at the Clínicas Integradas of the Evangelical Faculty of Paraná,sixty-eight patients (age 67 ± 6.5 years; FEV1 38.9 ± 16.2 predicted) were randomised to inhale 3% hypertonic saline (n=34) or placebo (n=34), combined with a program of exercise, three times a week, for 8-weeks.

Vitamin D as Treatment for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

This project aims to explore the relationship between Vitamin D deficiency and COPD progression via a prospective randomized placebo-controlled study. For this purpose, study was powered to 120 patients hospitalized with an exacerbation of COPD randomly assigned to a monthly oral dose of Vitamin D versus placebo. Taking into account dropouts, 182 patients are randomized during the course of the study

Sedation Management in Pediatric Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure (The RESTORE Study)

Respiratory InsufficiencyRespiratory Distress Syndrome2 more

People with acute respiratory failure usually require the use of an artificial breathing machine, known as a mechanical ventilator. Sedative medications, which help keep people calm and reduce anxiety, are often prescribed for children who are on mechanical ventilators. However, the longer that sedative medications are used, the longer a child may need to remain on mechanical ventilation. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a team approach to sedation management that aims to reduce the number of days that children with acute respiratory failure require mechanical ventilation.

Coping Skills for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Their Caregivers...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

This study is an NIH-funded clinical trial conducted at Duke University Medical Center and Ohio State University. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a telephone-based, care-giver assisted, coping skills training (CST) program in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and their caregivers. This may help COPD patients and their caregivers to deal better with the stress of lung disease. This study will test 3 primary hypotheses: 1) That enhanced CST will be more effective in improving quality of life compared to a Usual Medical Care plus COPD education and symptom management control group; 2) That enhanced CST will be associated with better medical outcomes (i.e., greater survival and fewer COPD-related physician visits or hospitalizations) compared to Controls over a follow-up period of up to 4 years; and 3) That improvements in quality of life and survival will be mediated by increased functional capacity and better coping. This proposed study builds upon our prior research by: a) adapting and refining our CST protocol, which was effective in improving psychosocial adjustment in patients awaiting lung transplantation, to a broader population of patients with COPD who are not immediate candidates for lung transplantation; b) enhancing our intervention to improve functional capacity, reduce somatic symptoms, and improve survival; c) examining the impact of CST on medical expenditures; and d) including caregivers in an enhanced CST intervention.

Antibiotic/COPD in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Requiring...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseSepsis1 more

Although the use of antibiotics in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is largely accepted, controversy remains regarding whether the choice of antibiotic has any impact on outcome. Our aim was to compare the effects of the combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin in patients treated for severe COPD exacerbation requiring mechanical ventilation.
