Aztreonam Lysine for Inhalation in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Airway...
Cystic FibrosisPseudomonas Aeruginosa Airway InfectionThe primary objective of this program is to provide expanded access to aztreonam lysine for inhalation (AZLI) 75 mg prior to its commercial availability to patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic P. aeruginosa airway infection who have limited treatment options and are at risk for disease progression.
Identification of Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Children
SleepSleep Apnea Syndromes1 moreThe purpose of this research is to study and improve the methods used to detect childhood breathing problems during sleep that can affect daytime behavior at home and school. Early diagnosis of these sleep disorders may allow doctors to treat children at a time when the consequences can still be reversed.
Respirator and Breathing Compartments
Face Mask SqueezeRespiratory ComplicationThe purpose of this study was to compare breathing pattern and involvement of individual breathing compartments (IBC) with and without filtering facepiece respirator (FFR) during rest and exercise.
Patient Transitioning From Exubera® Inhalation Powder to Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder...
Type 1 DiabetesType 2 DiabetesThe purpose of this study is to allow patients with specific needs for inhaled insulin to continue with inhaled insulin therapy using Technosphere Insulin after Exubera was withdrawn from the market.
Gastric Sonography in the Fasted Term Pregnant Patient for Elective Cesarean Delivery
Respiratory AspirationPregnancyFood residue in the stomach of patients scheduled to have surgery is considered a major risk factor for pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents. The resulting respiratory compromise after aspiration is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The risk of pulmonary aspiration is especially important in pregnant women, as they may often require surgery without having observed appropriate fasting. In pregnant patients scheduled for elective surgery, standard preoperative guidelines apply as the general non-pregnant surgical population (8-hour fasting of solid food and 2-hour fasting of clear fluids). A bedside ultrasound assessment of the status of the gastric content and volume would be of great value for the clinician. This technique has recently been shown very promising in fasted non-pregnant patients scheduled for elective surgery. Therefore, it is important to study its feasibility in the pregnant population scheduled for elective Cesarean Delivery. The investigators hypothesize that no residual solid contents will be found in the gastric sonography, and a small volume of gastric fluid will be observed in the antrum in both supine and right lateral decubitus.
Ultrasonographic Comparison of Gastric Volume After Three Modes of Positive Facemask During Induction...
Positive-Pressure RespirationRespiratory Aspiration of Gastric ContentThis study is designed to evaluate the occurrence of gastric insufflation and the critical volume of the stomach after three different modes of positive pressure ventilation during induction (Manual-controlled, volume-controlled and pressure-controlled ventilation)
Reverse Trendelenburg Positioning and Its Effect on Outcomes: a Retrospective Study of Consecutive...
AspirationRespiratory3 moreThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether intraoperative reverse Trendelenburg positioning decreases postoperative hypoxemia and perioperative pulmonary aspiration rates.
Prevalence of Respiratory Aspiration in Patients With COPD
COPDThe aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of respiratory aspiration in patients with COPD, in a tertiary hospital of Buenos Aires.
Activation Patterns of Respiratory Muscles to Loaded Inspiratory Muscle Tests in Healthy Adults...
Accessory MuscleWhether minimizing sternocleidomastoid (SCM) activation in supine position would increase diaphragm activation during loaded inspiratory muscle tests remains to be determined. Therefore, the purpose is to exam diaphragm and SCM activation during loaded inspiratory muscle tests in sitting and supine position in healthy adults.
The Electroencephalogram Analysis in the Differences Between Inhalation Anesthetic and Propofol....
SevofluranePropofolThe investigators will record 120 patients who received general anesthesia, their EEG data recorded from Bispectral Index (BIS) machine for emperical mode decomposition (EMD) analysis, the investigators decomposed EEG signal to different oscillations and tried to observe the differences between hypnotic medications through EEG analysis.
