Vital Signs-Integrated Patient-Assisted Intravenous Opioid Analgesia for Post Surgical Pain

PainRespiratory Depression

To meet the unmet need of better and safer pain relief for acute pain in the post-operative setting, a Vital-signs-integrated Patient-assisted Intravenous opioid Analgesia ("VPIA") Delivery System, with novel and intelligent software algorithms and specialised hardware was developed. In the previous project, the investigators have shown that this system has the potential to increase the safety and patient satisfaction with intravenous opioid analgesia. However, opportunities to develop more robust vital signs monitoring with the goal of ensuring continual and effective analgesia are identified. The primary aim of this proposal is to advance the development of technology (through new features and functionality) and perform clinical evaluation of the VPIA system with a larger sample size to show improvements in patient's satisfaction (pain relief) and robustness of system in terms of vital signs integration. Novel technology using adaptive vital signs controller, integrated with an infusion pump and single finger probe vital signs monitor system will be developed with the aim for commercialisation.

Clinical Stabilization of Hypercapnia: NIPPV v HVNI

Hypercapnic Respiratory FailureChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease2 more

This study will evaluate the ability of High Velocity Nasal Insufflation [HVNI] to effect ventilation and related physiologic responses in hypercapnic patients when compared to noninvasive positive pressure ventilation [NIPPV].

Efficacy of CONvalescent Plasma in Patients With COVID-19 Treated With Mechanical Ventilation

Covid19Mechanical Ventilation Complication3 more

The principal objective of the CONFIDENT trial is to assess the efficacy of two units (400-500 mL in total) of convalescent plasma, as compared to Standard of Care (SoC), to reduce day-28 mortality in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia who require mechanical ventilation.

Vital-signs-integrated Patient-assisted Intravenous Opioid Analgesia

Respiratory Depression

This is a closed-loop system which is embodied in a novel and intelligent algorithm that takes into account patients' vital signs. The system allows better and responsive titration of personalized pain relief together with non-invasive physiological monitoring that measures oxygenation, breathing and heart rate continuously.

CYCLE: A Randomized Clinical Trial of Early In-bed Cycling for Mechanically Ventilated Patients...

Intensive Care Unit Acquired WeaknessCritical Care2 more

Patients who survive critical illness usually experience long-lasting physical and psychological impairments, which are often debilitating. Rehabilitation interventions started in the ICU may reduce this morbidity. In-bed cycling, which uses a special bicycle that attaches to the hospital bed, allows critically ill patients who are mechanically ventilated (MV) to gently exercise their legs while in the ICU. The main goal of this study is to determine whether critically ill MV adults recover faster if they receive early in-bed cycling than if they do not. Another objective is to determine whether in-bed cycling is a cost-effective intervention. 360 patients admitted to the ICU and receiving MV will be enrolled in the study. Following informed consent, patients will be randomized to either (1) early in-bed cycling and routine physiotherapy or (2) routine physiotherapy alone. Patients' strength and physical function will be measured throughout the study. If early in-bed cycling during critical illness improves short-term physical and functional outcomes, it could accelerate recovery and reduce long-term disability in ICU survivors.

pRotective vEntilation With Veno-venouS Lung assisT in Respiratory Failure

Acute Respiratory Failure With Hypoxia

This is a trial of a new way of treating patients with respiratory failure. The investigators propose to deliver a multi-centre clinical trial to determine whether veno-venous extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (VV-ECCO2R) and lower tidal volume mechanical ventilation improves outcomes and is cost-effective, in comparison with standard care in patients who are mechanically ventilated for acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure

Providing Oxygen During Intubation in the NICU Trial

Neonatal Respiratory FailureTracheal Intubation Morbidity

Tracheal intubation in the NICU is frequently complicated by severe oxygen desaturation. Apneic oxygenation, a method of applying free flowing oxygen via nasal cannula to apneic patients undergoing intubation, prevents or delays oxygen desaturation during intubation in adults and older children. We propose to enroll patients at two sites (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) in a randomized trial in infants undergoing intubation in the NICU to determine if apneic oxygenation, compared with no respiratory support or oxygen during laryngoscopy and intubation attempts (standard care), reduces the magnitude of oxygen desaturation during tracheal intubation encounters.

The Effects of Vertical Position on Gas Exchange in Patients With Respiratory Failure

Respiratory Failure

The purpose of this study is to investigate how changing from a supine to upright position affects gas exchange for patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure. The research question is: will oxygen saturation and/or partial pressure of oxygen in the blood change when a patient with hypoxemic respiratory failure moves from a supine to upright position?

Early Non-invasive Ventilation Outside the Intensive Care Unit

Early Acute Respiratory Failure

A large multicentre, randomized, controlled trial to demonstrate that non invasive ventilation given at an early stage of acute respiratory failure (ARF) outside the intensive care unit (ICU) can prevent the deterioration of ARF and the need for ICU when compared to the best available treatment usually performed in the non-ICU wards.

This study is being conducted to compare the incidence of preterm infants (up to 28+6 weeks GA) who achieve a peripheral oxygen saturation of 80 percent by 5 minutes of life (MOL) given mask CPAP/PPV with an FiO2 of 1.0 during DCC for 90 seconds (HI Group) to infants given mask CPAP/PPV with an FiO2 of .30 during DCC for 90 seconds (LO Group).
