Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Aspiration"

This single and repeat increasing dose study will collect information on safety, tolerability and drug levels in the body of the CCI15106 inhalation powder. The study will also look at the level of CCI15106 that will be released into the air and may be found in the blood of the people standing around the person inhaling it (bystanders). This is a two-part study in which Part 1 will enroll healthy subjects and look at environmental and bystander exposure and Part 2 will enroll subjects with moderate COPD. Approximately 36 healthy subjects and approximately 22 subjects with COPD will be randomized in this study for dosing. The total study duration will be 82 days for Cohort A Part 1; 75 days for Cohort B Part 1 and Cohort C Part 1; 77 days for Cohort A Part 2; and 90 days for Cohort B Part 2.

During the past decade, especially with the advancement of technology, major innovations and developments have been observed in the field of surgery. Cardiac surgery is one of the important area of the surgery who renews itself day by day and adds innovations to the nature in terms of patients' comfort. One of the greatest developments in cardiac surgery in this sense is the tendency to reduce the size of the incisions with less interventional procedures. Robotic surgery is getting more and more meaningful in this area. Despite the downsizing of the surgical incisions, postoperative pulmonary complications have not completely disappeared in the robotic cardiac surgery. Major respiratory problems following traditional cardiac surgery are gas exchange problems, atelectasis, decreased coughing force and sputum retention. The effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy applied after traditional cardiac surgery for the resolution of these complications has been proved by various investigations. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been found to improve autonomic modulation in heart failure patients as well as to increase inspiratory muscle strength in applied patient populations, reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients, and increase functional capacity in elderly individuals. Considering these benefits, when inspiratory muscle training is given to people with traditional cardiac surgery, respiratory muscle strengths, respiratory functions and functional capacities are increased compared to those not given to these patients. However, although there are complications after robotic cardiac surgery, there are no studies in the literature about respiratory physiotherapy or inspiratory muscle training. Thus, the subject of this study is the comparison of the effects of standard respiratory physiotherapy and standard respiratory physiotherapy plus inspiratory muscle training on the respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity of the patients with the robotic heart surgery.

This study is an open-label, parallel group study to evaluate acute pulmonary safety and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of two doses, separated by 2 hours, of CVT-427 zolmitriptan inhalation powder in three groups of adults: those with asthma, those who smoke and healthy volunteers.

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) remains under-treated in individuals living with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D). The investigators' aim is to test a program that addresses challenges and barriers to positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment of SDB among patients with SCI/D. The investigators anticipate that patients who receive this program will have higher rates of PAP use and will demonstrate improvements in sleep quality, general functioning, respiratory functioning and quality of life from baseline to 6 months follow up compared to individuals who receive a control program. This work addresses critical healthcare needs for patients with SCI/D and may lead to improved health and quality of life for these patients.

To determine the effects of preoperative segmental breathing exercise on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients awaiting coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This study will be a randomized controlled trial. This study will be conducted in cardiac surgery department at Faisalabad institute of cardiology. sample size will be 44including both male and female. Non- probability purposive sampling technique will be used. Modified healthy heart questionnaire will be used as a screening tool. Baseline, postoperatively before discharge at week 5 assessment will be done by 6-minute walk test. Subjects in group A (interventional group) will be treated using segmental breathing exercises combined with Conventional Treatment (deep breathing exercise ) and the group B (control group) will be treated with only conventional treatment. Group-A (interventional group) will receive segmental breathing exercises for one month 5 days a week and 2 sessions per day for 15 minutes for each patient. conventional treatment will be for one month 5 days a week 10 to 15 repetitions of deep breathing exercise 2times a day. Dyspnea will be checked baselineand at week5 by modified Borg scale.Sputum cup was used for expectoration of sputum . Quality of life will be checked baseline and at week 5by SF-12 Questionnaire. Outcome variables will be 6MWT, dyspnea, quality of life, oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure and expectoration of sputum. Data will be analyzed on SPSS-25.

As inflammation and oxidative stress increase in asthma patients, the severity of symptoms and clinical findings increase. Therefore, this study was planned to evaluate the possible effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on inflammation markers and oxidative stress in childhood asthma. The study included asthma patient; 35 routine medication, 35 drug therapy and inspiratory muscle training (IMT), and 35 healthy total 105 children aged 8-17 years. Demographic information and hemogram values were recorded. Functional capacity was evaluated with the 6-minute walking test, quality of life PedsQL, respiratory muscle strength oral pressure measuring device, respiratory function test, dyspnea severity with Modified Borg Scale. C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Periostin, Transforming Growth Factor-βeta (TGF-β), Total Antioxidant Status (TAS), Total Oxidant Status (TOS), Oxidative Stress Index (OSI) were analyzed. IMT was given with a Threshold IMT device for 7 days/6 weeks at 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure, and then a second evaluation was made.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the short-term effects of two different breathing techniques (the active cycle breathing technique (ACBT) and the pursed lip breathing technique (PLB)) with Thera PEP® on the clearance of secretions and the oxygen saturation of individuals who have recently experienced an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in individuals who have recently experienced an acute exacerbation of COPD (COPD). Thirty patients will each have an acute COPD exacerbation seen on them, and then they will be randomly allocated to one of two groups (1. ACBT and PLB; 2. Thera PEP). Participants in a study employing a design known as a within-subject randomized crossover will be given the instruction to carry out each procedure on consecutive days as part of the study. In this study, the dependent variables will include blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), respiratory rate, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), visual analog scale (VAS), sputum volume, and the breathlessness, cough, and sputum scale. In addition, the independent variables will include sputum volume (BCSC). The patient's desired course of treatment will also be taken into account. These dependent variables will be examined at three distinct moments in time: at the beginning of the study (the baseline), immediately after treatment, and thirty minutes after treatment has been completed.

Patients suffering from parkinsonism have respiratory function abnormalities. This study compared the effects of incentive spirometer and inspiratory muscle trainer on pulmonary functions in patients with parkinsonism.

Rationale: The most common approach to weaning infants and children is gradual reduction of ventilatory support ("traditional approach"). Alternatively, another approach to weaning is attempted with alternating periods of complete ventilatory support and graded spontaneous breathing with assistance ("sprinting approach"). Both approaches are used randomly in our unit: the decision to use which approach is dependent upon the preferences of the attending physician as described in many observational single center studies. To date, there is no data comparing the safety and efficacy of the "sprinting" approach with more traditional approaches of weaning in children. Hence, numerous issues remain unanswered, including the work-of-breathing during each approach. For this research proposal, we want to measure the work-of-breathing daily, using the traditional approach (the area under the oesophageal pressure - volume curve) and study its correlation with clinical parameters and EMG activity of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles from the moment that the patient is weaned off the ventilator. Objective: The primary objective for this study is to compare for each patient of the work-of-breathing during the "sprinting"approach and the "traditional approach.The secondary objectives for this study are to compare the oesophageal pressure rate and (PRP) and pressure time product (PTP), the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, global and regional distribution of tidal volume measured using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), phase distribution of the respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) signal and the EMG activity of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles between the "sprinting"and the "traditional" approach.. Study design: This is a prospective exploratory study with invasive measurements in a 20 bed tertiary paediatric intensive care facility at the Beatrix Children's Hospital/University Medical Centre Groningen. Study population: All mechanically ventilated children aged 0 to 5 years with or without lung pathology admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit are eligible for inclusion. Inclusion criteria include mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours, weight ≥ 3 kg, sufficient respiratory drive present, deemed eligible for weaning by the attending physician, and stable haemodynamics (defined by the absence of need for increase in vaso-active drugs and/or fluid challenges at least 6 hours prior to enrolment). Exclusion criteria include mechanical ventilation less than 48 hours, not eligible for weaning (usually when there are unstable ventilator settings, defined by the need for increase of inspiratory pressures or positive end-expiratory pressure, and a FiO2 > 0.6 within 6 hours prior to enrolment), unstable haemodynamics (defined by the need for increase in vaso-ative drugs and/or fluid challenges within 6 hours prior to enrolment), leakage around the endotracheal tube > 5%, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, preterm birth with gestational age corrected for post-conceptional age less than 40 weeks, congenital or acquired neuromuscular disorders, congenital or acquired central nervous system disorders with depressed respiratory drive, congenital or acquired damage to the phrenic nerve, congenital or acquired paralysis of the diaphragm, use of neuromuscular blockade prior to enrolment, uncorrected congenital heart disorder, and chronic lung disease. Main study parameters/endpoints: The main study parameter is the level and time course of the patient's work-of-breathing mathematically calculated by the area under the pressure-volume curve Secondary study parameters include the level and time course of the PRP and PTP, level and time course of oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2 ratio), global and regional distribution of tidal volume, phase distribution, EMG activity of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, heart rate, respiratory rate.. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: There are a priori no specific benefits for the patients who participate in the study.
