Active clinical trials for "Pneumothorax"

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine whether chest tube suction duration, 24 hours vs 48 hours, prior to water seal affects outcome and length of stay after placement for traumatic pneumothorax.

The purpose of this study is to determine if emergency room physicians can use bedside ultrasound to quickly determine the proper placement of a central venous catheter and to evaluate for complications such as a punctured lung.

The study will investigate characteristics of chronic pain after VATS surgery with two different sizes of videoscopic equipment.

This is a prospective, single-center, observational, cross-sectional cohort study, comparing nurse-performed bedside lung ultrasound to standard portable CXR, for the detection of pneumothorax in the cardiac surgery patient population, following chest tube removal. This study aims to be conducted at an academic, tertiary adult center cardio-vascular intensive care unit (CVICU at TGH).

This study has been added as a sub study to the Simulation Training for Emergency Department Imaging 2 study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT05427838). The Lunit INSIGHT CXR is a validation study that aims to assess the utility of an Artificial Intelligence-based (AI) chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation tool in assisting the diagnostic accuracy, speed, and confidence of a varied group of healthcare professionals. The study will be conducted using 500 retrospectively collected inpatient and emergency department CXRs from two United Kingdom (UK) hospital trusts. Two fellowship trained thoracic radiologists will independently review all studies to establish the ground truth reference standard. The Lunit INSIGHT CXR tool will be used to analyze each CXR, and its performance will be measured against the expert readers. The study will evaluate the utility of the algorithm in improving reader accuracy and confidence as measured by sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. The study will measure the performance of the algorithm against ten abnormal findings, including pulmonary nodules/mass, consolidation, pneumothorax, atelectasis, calcification, cardiomegaly, fibrosis, mediastinal widening, pleural effusion, and pneumoperitoneum. The study will involve readers from various clinical professional groups with and without the assistance of Lunit INSIGHT CXR. The study will provide evidence on the impact of AI algorithms in assisting healthcare professionals such as emergency medicine and general medicine physicians who regularly review images in their daily practice.

The study will assess the safety and feasibility of a new medical device, MIPP-Kit, for the prevention of complications during diagnostic, CT guided ,percutaneous lung needle biopsy.

This study is designed to assess whether a new type of chest drain reduces the number of drains that fall out of or are accidentally removed from the chest cavity (usually requiring another drain to be inserted), without causing any increase in discomfort or other side-effects.

According to the problems of traditional closed thoracic drainage in clinical work, this study aims to further improve and improve the new closed thoracic drainage system by changing the material of drainage tube, increasing the regulating valve of external fixator and increasing the gas flow monitoring kit for special patients, so as to expand its clinical application scope and formulate its operation. Standardize. At the same time, through a randomized controlled study, the simplicity, effectiveness and safety of the new minimally invasive thoracic closed drainage system developed by the research group were deeply studied.

A prospective randomized controlled study was undertaken to compare the postoperative analgesic effect between ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block and intercostal nerve block after single port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with primary spontaneous pneumothorax.

Spontaneous breathing supported by nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is thought to have some advantages compared with mechanical ventilation in premature infants. In addition, early surfactant administration has been shown to be superior to delayed use. The aim of this pilot study was to describe the feasibility of TAKE CARE (early administration of surfactant in spontaneous breathing) procedure and compare its short-term and long-term results with InSurE procedure.
