NCT02789800
The aim of Patient-Centred Innovations for Persons With Multimorbidity (PACE in MM) study is to reorient the health care system from a single disease focus to a multimorbidity focus; centre on not only disease but also the patient in context; and realign the health care system from separate silos to coordinated collaborations in care. PACE in MM will propose multifaceted innovations in Chronic Disease Prevention and Management (CDPM) that will be grounded in current realities (i.e. Chronic Care Models including Self-Management Programs), that are linked to Primary Care (PC) reform efforts. The study will build on this firm foundation, will design and test promising innovations and will achieve transformation by creating structures to sustain relationships among researchers, decision-makers, practitioners, and patients. The Team will conduct inter-jurisdictional comparisons and is mainly a Quebec (QC) - Ontario (ON) collaboration with participation from 3 other provinces: British Columbia (BC); Manitoba (MB); and Nova Scotia (NS). The Team's objectives are: 1) to identify factors responsible for success or failure of current CDPM programs linked to the PC reform, by conducting a realist synthesis of their quantitative and qualitative evaluations; 2) to transform consenting CDPM programs identified in Objective 1, by aligning them to promising interventions on patient-centred care for multimorbidity patients, and to test these new innovations' in at least two jurisdictions and compare among jurisdictions; and 3) to foster the scaling-up of innovations informed by Objective 1 and tested/proven in Objective 2, and to conduct research on different approaches to scaling-up. This registration for Clinical Trials only pertains to Objective 2 of the study.
NCT04006964
The diagnosis of a lung function anomaly requires the evaluation of pulmonary function by spirometry. However, some patients (e.g. children, elderly, or diseased individuals) may have difficulty performing the related forced maximal respiratory maneuver correctly. Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) measures lung impedance during tidal breathing, requiring minimal patient cooperation. The purpose of this study is to establish the diagnostic accuracy of FOT parameters alone or in combination with lung volumes in detecting lung function anomalies as compared with spirometry and with the diagnosis made by the physician.
NCT03899597
In this study, the investigators aim to investigate if artificial uterine contractions prior to elective caesarean section delivery may have an impact on the respiratory morbidity of term neonates.
NCT05603507
8 weeks of inspiratory muscle training combined with a pulmonary rehabilitation program increases respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional capacity, and quality of life in chest burned children.
NCT04234152
The purpose of this study is to examine if a new and simple method involving complete photo-protection of multivitamins only (since sampling through infusion) will result in a significant reduction of peroxide contamination of parenteral nutrition compared to standard method of parenteral nutrition preparation and infusion in extremely preterm infants.
NCT04744272
Asthma is a common lung condition that causes long-term breathing problems. There is no cure and if uncontrolled can be life threatening. Many asthma deaths are preventable if managed using a personalised treatment plan explaining what to do when unwell, how to manage symptoms and correct inhaler use. Those with controlled asthma are less likely to be admitted to hospital and more likely to have an improved quality of life. COVID19 has emphasised the need to redesign healthcare delivery to reduce avoidable exposure. Clinical services are turning to remote care including online digital health apps. Digital health offers mechanisms to promote effective asthma care, offer remote individual treatment plans, monitor asthma control in 'real time' and provides information to prevent asthma attacks. Regulatory health guidelines recognise that technology has the potential to improve asthma care and could lead to reductions in NHS service use and improve symptoms. This study aims to evaluate the delivery of an asthma self-management app 'myAsthma' in a secondary care asthma service. Patients will use the app to input and track their symptoms and report their medication usage. The app provides information on environmental triggers such as air quality to better prepare asthma sufferers in preventing an asthma attack. It offers educational videos to improve understanding of asthma, including online training in inhaler technique. The goals are to increase adherence to and correct use of medication, help patients self-manage dynamically to reduce their risk of an asthma attack and equip healthcare professionals with the data to identify those people at higher risk of an attack. This is an unblinded randomised controlled trial with two arms: standard care (control) and myAsthma with standard care (intervention). Asthma control will be compared between the groups. It is a single-centre study which will take place in Bradford Teaching Hospital. A minimum of 60 participants will be recruited into the study and randomised on a ratio of 1:1 - 30 in the control arm and 30 in the intervention arm. Over 6 months outcomes will be measured using a combination of questionnaires and Asthma Control Test Scores (measure of symptom control). The main outcome of this study is to explore the efficacy of this new model of service delivery, whether it can provide an improvement in asthma control test scores, and will lead to a fully powered randomised controlled trial.
NCT02868541
The objective of this project is to study the prevalence of viruses and bacteria responsible for transmissible acute respiratory infections in the respiratory tract of pilgrims returning from the trip. The patients included, will be the consultant pilgrims to the traveler health center, and before leaving for Hajj. Based on the results obtained in previous studies, it is estimated that 200 pilgrims will be included each year, 600 in total (inclusion period of 3 years). Respiratory secretions are then collected by nasal swab and throat (swab) prior to departure for the hajj. In return, patients will be reconvened systematic consultation to record medical events potentially encountered during the trip, and it will again be performed the same nasal swabs and throat. It will then be performed on these samples' return from hajj "molecular detection (PCR and RT-PCR) of 35 viruses and bacteria respiratory tropism: influenza (3), RSV (2), metapneumovirus (1), Coronavirus (4), Parainfluenzavirus (4), enteroviruses (4), rhinovirus (1), adenovirus (6) bocavirus, polyomavirus (2), pneumococcus, Bordetella pertussis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis and Coxiella burnetii. Samples "return of hajj" positive should be cultured for the isolation of the strain. For patients positive return, it will be done further research of these 35 viruses and bacteria on samples "start of hajj," the same method described above. In addition to this systematic consultation, and if symptoms return, the pilgrims will be seen in consultation for a diagnosis evaluation and therapeutic management. This study will shed light on the acquisition of microorganisms respiratory tropism during the stay and on the potential risks associated with the circulation of these pathogens after the trip.
NCT03585582
In this study, the investigators aim to better characterize the outcomes of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) survivors, to examine whether subgroups of children with PARDS can be identified, and to determine whether an earlier diagnosis of PARDS using a computerized decision support system will improve the care of these children.
NCT04358133
This study evaluates a pharmacological intervention to relieve dyspnea in intensive care unit patients. Indeed, opioids can be particularly beneficial since 1) dyspnea and pain share many similarities, 2) the benefit of opioids on dyspnea has been clearly demonstrated in other populations. However, to date, data regarding the impact of morphine on dyspnea in intensive care unit patients admitted for acute respiratory failure are scarce. There may be a reluctance of physicians to prescribe opioids that is not scientifically justified. The study will focus on patient reported outcome (PRO) criteria. The ultimate goal of this pilot study is to design the protocol of a future pragmatic trial.
NCT04533685
This trial is taking place in Los Angeles, CA among patients from primary care practices within the UCLA Health System. The study design is a 2x2x2 factorial design, nested in a parallel 2-arm trial. The parallel arms are control v. reminder letter (reminder messages sent via the patient portal, reminding participants of an overdue influenza vaccine) Nested within the reminder letter arm, we will have 3 additional components: * A direct scheduling link within the reminder letter enabling the patient to schedule an influenza vaccine only visit (direct scheduling link vs. no direct scheduling link). * A pre-commitment prompt (pre-commitment prompt vs. no prompt) asking about a patient's intention to get the influenza vaccination * A pre-appointment reminder, encouraging patients to ask for their influenza vaccine at their upcoming appointment (pre-appointment reminder encouraging influenza vaccination vs. standard pre-appointment reminder not mentioning influenza vaccination)
NCT03084016
This study aims to assess the feasibility of capturing data on exhaled breath compounds during an acute asthma exacerbation. In addition to assessing the feasibility of such a study the investigators will collect data on exploratory outcomes including the ability of breath biomarkers to distinguish between controlled and exacerbated states and their ability to differentiate between triggers of exacerbation.
NCT01405963
The purpose of this study is to assess the late and early asthmatic response after an allergen inhalation challenge in adults with mild atopic asthma after receiving multiple doses of tezepelumab (AMG 157), as well as the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of tezepelumab in adults with mild atopic asthma.
NCT04984057
In preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), exogenous pulmonary surfactant(PS) replacement therapy is one of the most important therapeutic breakthrough to reduce neonatal incidences of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) and/or death. But not all preterm infants with RDS can be beneficial. Otherwise, the international neonatal acute RDS (NARDS) collaborative group provides the first consensus definition for NARDS in 2017. And whether or not PS being beneficial in preterm infants with NARDS remains unknown.
NCT03372525

NCT04142736
The proposed randomized controlled trial aims at comparing the application of the prone position in spontaneously breathing patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure from any cause versus standard treatment on the rate of invasive mechanical ventilation or all-cause of mortality. The secondary endpoints will include time to tracheal intubation and effects of awake proning on the oxygenation parameters, dyspnea sensation, complications, and tolerance. Other endpoints are ventilation free-days at 28 days, duration of invasive ventilation, length of ICU and hospital stay, ICU and hospital mortality, and 28, 60, and 90-day mortality.
NCT05218200
Studies reveal that the Covid-19 virus can be transmitted in three ways: respiratory tract, direct contact and feces. The incubation period is estimated to be 5.2 \[4.1-7.0\] days for the 95% confidence interval and the virus transmission coefficient (R0) baseline growth number is 2.2 \[1.4-3.9\]. The main signs and symptoms described in the literature are; other atypical symptoms, particularly fever (98%), cough (76%), myalgia or fatigue (44%); sputum (28%), headache (8%), hemoptysis (5%), vomiting (5%), diarrhea (3%) and shortness of breath were detected. In addition to lymphopenia, which is detected in 63% of cases, pneumonia is also present. Widely regarded as the cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation, exercise training is the best way to improve muscle function in COPD and other chronic respiratory diseases. After 326 patients hospitalized in the pandemic clinical services of a public hospital were randomly divided into the experimental (n=168) and control groups (n=168), the effect of the experiment on the respiratory parameters of the experiment will be monitored without any intervention in the control group, while deep breathing and coughing exercises will be applied to the experimental group. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of deep breathing and coughing exercises on respiratory parameters in patients treated for pneumonia due to COVID-19 disease.
