Active clinical trials for "Shock"

In the case of cardiogenic shock, the early mortality rate is the highest compared to other types of shock, but it is characterized by a good prognosis and quality of life after recovery, so monitoring the treatment progress is very important to identify the patient's prognosis. However, there are few studies specifically reported on hemodynamic monitoring and prognosis of cardiogenic shock. In addition, as mechanical circulatory support devices are in the spotlight, studies on their effects and safety are starting, but studies on cardiogenic shock are often limited to patients with myocardial infarction. This study is a prospective and retrospective cohort observational study, we aim to identify factors that can improve prognosis, including various drug treatments, diagnostic techniques, and mechanical circulatory support device by investigating the treatment status and clinical outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock hospitalized in cardiovascular critical care unit. In addition, the purpose of this study is to investigate the association between the prognosis of patients with cardiogenic shock and the presence of a specialist resident during regular work hours to clarify the role and necessity of a resident specialist in the cardiovascular intensive care unit. Furthermore, by predicting and treating the clinical course of patients with cardiogenic shock at an early stage, the aim is to reduce the mortality rate and improve the patients' ability to perform daily activities.

A sigle-center, randomized controlled trial will be do to investigate the effects of esomol on heart rate, clinical parameters, mortality, and safety in septic shock patients with tachycardia at different stages, compared with patients who received conventional therapy.

The aim of this study is to assess whether changes in the plethysmography variability index, during a tidal volume challenge, can reliably detect simultaneous changes in arterial blood pressure pulsatility, in patients hospitalized in intensive care unit. If results will be positive, this will allow the test to be performed even in the absence of an invasive arterial catheter.

The sudy objective is to evaluate the cerebral haemodynamic status in different ranges of systemic arterial pressure in patients with septic shock by noninvasive tools, transcranial doppler and intracranial compliance by mechanical sensor (B4C). Patients participating in the study will be submitted to different levels of arterial pressure, titrated with vasopressor and them their cerebral hemodynamic variables will be evaluated,

International, observational registry to investigate the outcome in patients with cardiogenic shock. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the clinical outcome of patients in cardiogenic shock.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate safety, effectiveness and benefit-risk profile of ResQFoam for the inhospital treatment of exsanguinating, intraabdominal haemorrhage due to trauma in patients where emergent laparotomy is required.

Assessing the response to vascular filling in shock is a challenge in emergency medicine. The mitral annulus velocity measured by tissue Doppler (E') has recently been characterized as sensitive to the preload conditions of a patient. The investigators hypothesize that the E' variation (∆E') before and after fluid filling allows us to assess the response to vascular filling. The investigators hypothesize that the ∆E' has a good diagnostic performance to establish whether a patient is responsive to fluid filling, defined by an area under the ROC curve greater than 0.75.

Randomized, prospective, multicenter, open-label, controlled, parallel-group interventional trial to test the adjunctive effect of therapeutic plasma exchange in patients with early septic shock.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether timely and aggressive temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support (tMCS) through the Impella 5.5® in patients with acute decompensated heart failure complicated by cardiogenic shock (ADHF-CS) has the potential to reduce the HF-CS related clinical events compared to the current standard of care.

BACKGROUND: Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergy that rapidly affects multiple body systems and can be deadly. The highest incidence of anaphylaxis is in children and adolescents. In Canada, approximately every 10 minutes there is an Emergency Department (ED) visit for food allergy, and up to 80% of anaphylactic reactions in children are triggered by food. The ambiguity in how physicians manage anaphylaxis adds a huge burden to health care and further contributes to ED crowding. Current Canadian and international treatment guidelines universally recommend that all patients present to the ED for a prolonged period (6-24 hours) of in-hospital monitoring after initial reactions have been treated, to increase detection of biphasic anaphylaxis (BA). BA is a second wave of symptoms after initial resolution. These guidelines are based on poor or little evidence and have unintended negative impacts on patient safety and quality of life. Furthermore, this 'one-size fits all' approach to care leads to wasteful resource utilization that provides low value care. OBJECTIVE: The main objective of the study is to derive a clinical prediction rule that identifies children with anaphylaxis who are at risk of BA. METHODS: This prospective multicenter cohort study will enroll 1682 patients from 7 pediatric EDs that are members of the Pediatric Emergency Research Canada (PERC) network. We will enroll patients < 18 years of age presenting to the ED with an allergic reaction that matches the diagnostic criteria of anaphylaxis. Research assistants (RA) present in the ED will screen, obtain consent, and prospectively collect all study data. The Research Assistant or Research Nurse will follow patients during their ED visit and ascertain, in conjunction with the medical team, if the patient developed biphasic anaphylaxis in the ED. A standardized follow-up survey conducted within 2-5 days of ED or hospital discharge will determine if a biphasic reaction occurred following ED disposition. We established an advisory council comprised of end-users and community partners external to the project team to monitor project milestones. STUDY TEAM: We have established an international multidisciplinary team of experts in pediatrics, emergency medicine, allergy/immunology, research methodology and statistics, and knowledge translation. Our team is supported by the PERC network. EXPECTED OUTCOME: Providing the best evidence-based, value care at the lowest cost is a moral and ethical imperative. Therefore, in alignment with national and international research priorities, we propose to develop a robust prediction model for BA. This model will address a significant gap in current knowledge and practice, with anticipated benefit for patient care and health system efficiency worldwide. This trial will generate novel, clinically relevant data on optimal ED management of children with anaphylaxis that integrates best value care with patient safety.
