Active clinical trials for "Acute Kidney Injury"

This study was a clinical trial. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Goal-Oriented Care intervention on blood pressure, percentage of interdialytic weight gain, self-management behaviors, and quality of life in hospitalized patients with unplanned dialysis at three and six-months post-discharge. This study was an experimental design in a medical center in Southern Taiwan. A cluster sample method was selected for each two wards from four nephrology wards and was randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The enrolled patients were assigned to the experimental and control groups according to different wards' admission. The inclusion criteria were: (1) patients who received unplanned dialysis during hospitalization; (2) aged between 20 and 80 years; (3) not undergoing renal replacement therapy before recruitment; (4) alert consciousness status and ability to communicate; (5) ability to perform self-management behaviors. The exclusion criteria were a history of psychiatric illness, any active infection and inability to communicate or understand the educational process. Each group consisted of 46 participants. Both groups received routine health education. However, the experimental group during hospitalization additionally received 40 minutes of one-on-one education three times a week for three weeks, as the Goal-Oriented Care program for 6 hours in total, followed by telephone sessions of 20 minutes every month for six months post-discharge. On receiving the third dialysis, baseline data including self-report questionnaires assessed participants' demographic and disease characteristics and medical record reports for blood pressure and percentage of interdialytic weight gain were collected. A week after discharge, self-management behaviors and quality of life baseline data were assessed using self-reported questionnaires and these were followed up at three and six-months post-discharge, which then also included blood pressure and percentage of interdialytic weight gain.Generalized estimating equations were used to assess changes amounts in each outcome variable from the baseline to three months and six-months post-discharge between two groups.

This study will enroll hospitalized adults with acute kidney injury (AKI) and randomize them to usual care versus an electronic alert coupled to a "best practices" order set.

The main aim of the study is to investigate and compare the possible acute effect of standard PCNL, mini-PCNL and RIRS on renal function. Secondary aims are to investigate the efficacy (stone-free rate), safety (complication rate, long-term kidney function) and other parameters (operation, fluoroscopy and hospitalization time) concerning the 3 endourological operations (PCNL, mini- PCNL, RIRS) for the treatment of renal calculi.

This is a single center, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and biochemical effects of niacinamide on metabolic parameters of the kidney in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Music intervention is a non-pharmacological and effective intervention that can alleviate anxiety and agitation in patients undergoing weaning. The effectiveness of music intervention in reducing anxiety of patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of music intervention on anxiety, agitation, sleep quality and physiological parameters on patients in ICU. This study was conducted from January to June 2019. A total of 196 hospitalized ICU patients were divided into two groups. Subjects in experimental group received 30 minutes music intervention for 3 days on bedside whereas subjects in control group received routine care only. The primary outcome was anxiety. Agitation Sedation Scale, sleep quality and physical parameters were selected to collect as secondary outcomes.There was no significant difference between the groups at baseline. The results of this study support that music can reduce anxiety and agitation levels in ICU's patient. Nurses can incorporate this intervention into the daily care in order to reduce the discomfort of patients.

This study seeks to determine if increasing the dose of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) reduces 90-day all cause mortality in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients with severe acute renal failure (ARF).

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of 60% ethanol lock solution in preventing major catheter related infections in critically ill patients.

This study is designed to evaluate background fluorescence of participants of different ages, gender, and skin color. In addition, 48-hour tolerability of the sensor and adhesive will be evaluated.

This study aims to compare the volume management methods performed by using conventional method and PVI monitoring in intraoperative fluid treatment during bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and total hysterectomy operation.

In the VERROUREA study, there were two cases of an abnormal increase in TCA. In theory no leakage of the lock into the bloodstream should have been seen. Lock leakage could have particularly serious, and especially clinical, repercussions in these patients who already have a high risk of haemorrhage given the numerous associated comorbidities. The aim of this study is to investigate the leakage of locks into the bloodstream by measuring, before and after injection of the lock, the evolution of haemostasis tests and calcaemia. The findings will complete safety data already collected in the VERROU REA study.
