Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases"

Exercise training as part of a structured pulmonary rehabilitation program is a key factor in improving quality of life and symptoms in people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Optimal methods of exercise training are yet to be explored in ILD. Drinking beetroot juice, which is rich in nitrate, has been shown to improve exercise performance in a variety of groups, but its effects in ILD have not been tested. The purpose of this study is to determine if drinking nitrate-rich beetroot juice can improve exercise performance compared to drinking nitrate-free beetroot juice in people with ILD.

The aim of the study is to determine which standard of care strategy will best benefit very severe Acute Exacerbation (AE) of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), single versus reinforced with ECCO2R and assess the respective efficacy and the safety. Very severe AE of COPD will be defined by high risk of Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) failure defined by need of intubation and/or in-Intensive Care Unit (ICU) mortality (Stratum 1) or by Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV) after NIV failure and/or with severe hyperinflation and hypercapnia (Stratum 2).

Pediatric epidural anesthesia has emerged as a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique for providing intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in thoracic and abdominal surgery. The loss of resistance technique is the gold standard for the placement of the epidural. The VPC (visual pressure control) syringes developed by PAJUNK enable direct visualization of the introduction of the needle into the epidural space.

The purpose of this study is to gather information on the effectiveness of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program with health coaching and tele-monitoring for improving patient-reported respiratory-related quality of life and physical activity in patients with fibrotic Interstitial Lung Diseases (f-ILD).

The primary objective of this study is to determine if a sputum colour chart can aid patient self-management of COPD exacerbations, such that use of the chart is non-inferior to usual care with respect to hospital admissions. There are also a range of other secondary objectives as detailed in the secondary outcomes section. An integral pilot phase, economic evaluation and process evaluation are also included.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the health coaching approach applied to patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on the perceived social support of the patients. Research Hypotheses: H0: Health coaching approach has no effect on perceived social support in patients with COPD. H1: Health coaching approach has an effect on perceived social support in patients with COPD.

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a communication intervention about sexuality on quality of life and other outcomes like physical activity, exercise capacity and health status in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Triple-cuffed double lumen endotracheal tube (TC-DLT, ANKOR tube. Insung corp., Korea) which was developed to isolate lung without endotracheal bronchoscope guidance has additional carinal cuff placed between bronchial tube cuff and tracheal tube cuff. This device has been successfully used to isolate lung more simply in specific settings when there is too much excretion to visualize endotracheal structure or for a health provider who is not good at use of traditional double-lumen tube. Although TC-DLT is designed to enable lung separation effectively in situations that confirmation of tube position using bronchoscopy is difficult or not available, but no studies have been conducted on whether effective lung isolation using TC-DLT is possible after change in the relative position of the bronchial tree by postural change. This plan was prepared for research on this.

72 patients with mild to moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were planned to be enrolled in this study and then treated with olodaterol combined with thiotropium bromide, and thiotropium bromide, respectively, for 52 weeks. To assess the effect of the test drug on small airway remodeling in patients.

This is a pilot study that seeks to evaluate the feasibility and safety of using a TEG algorithm in addition to traditional laboratory tests to guide transfusion and coagulation management of ECMO patients.
