Active clinical trials for "Subcutaneous Emphysema"

A MULTI-CENTER, PROSPECTIVE, RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED STUDY TO EVALUATE PHYSICIAN PREFERENCE RELATED TO THE USE OF THE SURGIQUEST AIRSEAL INSUFFLATION SYSTEM (AIS) VS. CONVENTIONAL INSUFFLATION SYSTEMS (CIS) FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF PNEUMOPERITONEUM DURING ROBOTIC PARTIAL NEPHRECTOMY

Discharging patients home with air leak and chest tube to portable drainage device after thoracic resection is cost effective and safe without compromising patients outcome or satisfaction. Despite good outcomes this practice is not done universally by thoracic surgeons.

Background Numerous surgicals treatments have been described for the massive subcutaneous emphysema; however, some of these techniques cannot be carried out in a critical care unit and they are related with high morbidity and exposure in positive SARS COV-2 patients. More effective, less invasive and isolated procedures should be implemented. Technique Negative pressure therapy (NPT) that can allow effective solving of massive subcutaneous emphysema in a short period (5 days) with a minimally invasive approach at the bedside in Covid-19 or non infected critical patients. Conclusion NPT is an effective and low invasive strategy for the management of EES in critical patients with high risk of mortality.

The primary objective is to evaluate the performance parameters of the proposed DLAD (Carebot AI CXR) in comparison to individual radiologists.
