Evaluation of Anti-Xa Levels in Surgery Patients Receiving Fixed Dose Heparin

Deep-Venous ThrombosisPulmonary Embolism1 more

The purpose of this study is to determine if fixed dose heparin infusions at a rate of 500 units/hour are sufficient to maintain a target anti-Xa of 0.1-0.35 IU/mL for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in patients undergoing microvascular surgery. Additionally, a pilot protocol has been developed to titrate these heparin infusions to ensure patients have sufficient VTE prophylaxis. All patients will be enrolled in the observational arm of the study and receive anti-Xa level monitoring. Patients with out-of-range anti-Xa levels will cross over to the interventional arm of the study and receive real time heparin infusion dose adjustments per the pilot protocol. The primary outcome measured will be the percentage of patients with anti-Xa levels in the target range of 0.1-0.35 IU/mL while on a heparin infusion at 500 units/hour.

Effect of iNO in Patients With Submassive and Massive PE

Pulmonary EmbolismPulmonary Embolism Subacute Massive

A single center study to evaluate the effect of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) on pulmonary dynamics in patients presenting with imaging confirmed intermediate/submassive or massive pulmonary embolism (PE). The target enrollment is 20 subjects at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. PE patients undergoing catheter-based intervention will be administered iNO during their intervention and pulmonary hemodynamic measurement will be measured before, during, and after iNO administration (Invasive Cohort). Patients who are not undergoing catheter-based intervention will also be administered iNO and will have pulmonary hemodynamics, blood pressure, and heart rate measured non-invasively (Non-Invasive Cohort).

SaExten Vena Cava Filter System in Prevention of Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary Embolism

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SaExten vena cava filter (VCF) system (ShenZhen KYD BioTech Co., Ltd., China) in prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE). This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, positive-controlled clinical trial, which will enroll 204 participants in total. Participants will undergo interventions with SaExten VCF System or Denali filter (C. R. BARD, Inc., USA).

Drug Interaction Between Paracetamol and Warfarin

Deep Venous ThrombosisPulmonary Embolism3 more

The objective of this study is to investigate whether paracetamol, given at therapeutic doses (2g/day and 3 g/day), may potentiate the anticoagulant effect of warfarin.

Safety Study of the Angel™ Catheter in Subjects With Risk of Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary EmbolismDeep Vein Thrombosis1 more

The Angel™ Catheter combines the functions of a vena cava filter and a multi-lumen central line catheter. The device is designed to be placed in the inferior vena cava via the femoral vein for the prevention of Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and for access to the central venous system. The primary endpoint is freedom from serious adverse events (SAE), defined as death, symptomatic pulmonary embolism or major bleeding .

Venous Blood Flow Velocity: Electrical Foot Stimulation Compared to Intermittent Pneumatic Compression...

Deep Vein ThrombosisPulmonary Embolism

Electrical stimulation of the foot can increase blood flow out of the leg. This increased blood flow can prevent blood clots from forming in the leg veins. Blood clots in the leg veins can break off and form life-threatening blood clots in the lungs. Intermittent external pneumatic (air) compression of the foot is already used to increase blood flow in at risk patients. Hypothesis: Electrical stimulation of the foot increases blood flow out of the legs to the same degree as intermittent external pneumatic (air) compression of the foot.

Improving Safety of Diagnosis and Therapy in the Inpatient Setting

DeliriumConfusion28 more

To improve the safety of diagnosis and therapy for a set of conditions and undifferentiated symptoms for hospitalized patients, the investigators will employ a set of methods and tools from the disciplines of systems engineering, human factors, quality improvement,and data analytics to thoroughly analyze the problem, design and develop potential solutions that leverage existing current technological infrastructure, and implement and evaluate the final interventions. The investigators will engage the interdisciplinary care team and patient (or their caregivers) to ensure treatment trajectories match the anticipated course for working diagnoses (or symptoms), and whether they are in line with patient and clinician expectations. The investigators will use an Interrupted time series (ITS) design to assess impact on diagnostic errors that lead to patient harm. The investigators will perform quantitative and qualitative evaluations using implementation science principles to understand if the interventions worked, and why or why not.

Strategies to Reduce Contrast Medium in Spectral CT Pulmonary Angiography

Pulmonary Embolism

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of three different strategies to inject at reduced volume of contrast medium in Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA). 330 patients referred for CTPA are randomized to receive either a low-concentration, a low-volume or a saline-diluted injection. Effects on the level and homogeneity of contrast enhancement are measured and compared between groups.
