NCT04043858
Ascites in liver cirrhosis is explained by increased production of vasoactive substances leading to renal vasoconstriction and salt and water retention. The retained water then accumulates in the peritoneal cavity under the effect of portal hypertension and low albumin. Refractory ascites is defined as ascites that cannot be mobilized or prevented from early recurrence after large-volume paracentesis despite medical therapy and dietary sodium restriction. Midodrine is an α1 receptor agonist that can improve systemic and renal hemodynamics in non-azotemic cirrhotic patients by counteracting mesenteric vasodilatation, which is accentuated in cirrhosis.
NCT02582216
This study has two objectives. First, to introduce a new virtual reality method that incorporates the mechanisms used in mirror visual feedback through a three-dimensional (3D) augmented virtual reality system. Second, to evaluate the efficiency of this new method on a convenience sample of patients presenting with unresolved neuropathic pain (CRPS, PLP, plexopathy, stroke) who were not responding adequately to both pharmaceutical management and traditional mirror therapy.

NCT02550795
Previous reports demonstrated that dexmedetomidine could reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Dexamethason also had been commonly used for ajuvant drugs for preventing and reducing PONV. So investigator want to study about the effect of dexmedetomidine only or combined with dexamethasone for preventing PONV.
NCT04494152
The purpose of this study is to assess reliability of echocardiographic assessment of ventricular dimensions and function from subcostal view.
NCT04521907
A retrospective chart review of 264 eyes from 177 patients was performed who underwent congenital cataract surgery before the age of 14 years. All patients' surgery was performed by the same experienced surgeon at the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from May 2011 to March 2019. We recorded patient demographics and incidence and risk factors for glaucoma-related adverse event. This study to identify the incidence of and risk factors associated with postoperative glaucoma at various durations after congenital cataract surgery.
NCT04521101
Rationale: The World Health Assembly resolution 68.15 identified surgical and anesthesia care as core components of universal health coverage. However, about 5 billion people worldwide lack access to essential surgical and anesthesia services. Of the 313 million procedures undertaken each year only 6% occur in the poorest countries with an estimated 30% of all deaths globally associated with common surgical conditions. Patient safety in low-resource settings is hindered by severe workforce shortages, lack of essential resources, hierarchical culture and few opportunities for professional development. Non-technical skills (NTS), such as communication, team working, and task coordination, are vital to patient safety. Up to 70-80% of untoward events in health care are associated with errors in NTS8. The Anaesthetists' Non-Technical Skills framework (ANTS) describes behaviour markers for NTS in anesthesia. This framework has been found applicable in low-resource settings. Simulation-based education is widespread for NTS training in well-resourced countries. Traditionally, high costs have prohibited this modality in low-resource settings. Foundational work in Rwanda and at Dalhousie University has demonstrated that effective training in ANTS can be achieved through simple low-cost simulation. The Vital Anaesthesia Simulation Training (VAST) Course is a three-day simulation-based program designed de-novo to focus on core clinical practices and NTS that promote safe perioperative care in low-resource settings. The course uses low-cost materials in an immersive simulated environment to replicate common cases managed in district hospitals in low-resource settings. Realism is created with simple mannequins, iPads with the SimMon App functioning as monitoring, basic props (e.g., airway equipment, syringes, drapes), photographs of pathology, and briefing cards for scenario role-play. Purpose: To assess the impact of the VAST Course on ANTS and explore factors that influence long-term retention of ANTS amongst anesthesia providers in a low-resource setting.
NCT04522037
Morphine is used in the treatment of dyspnea and polypnea with a proven benefit on the improvement of these symptoms, both etiologically and symptomatically. This medication is used in particular in palliative care for this type of symptom. The Sars CoV2 viral pneumonia table can lead to respiratory distress. In patients with moderate to severe impairment without goal of resuscitation (level of care 3 and 4), the introduction of morphine may sometimes be necessary to relieve respiratory symptoms. These also lead to major exhaustion which can worsen the clinical picture. However, the prescription of morphine is not systematic in front of a respiratory distress table. The investigators hypothesized that early treatment with morphine lead to a better management of dyspnea, quality of live and survival in COVID-19 positive participants patients when there is not resuscitation objective management (level of care 3 and 4). The objective is to measure the efficacy of morphine in the early management of dyspnea, quality of life and survival in COVID-19 positive participants patients treated in the Hospices Civils of Lyon during COVID-19 pandemic.

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a device that delivers10 to 70 L min-1 of heated, humidified 100% oxygen via nasal route. It provides positive airway pressure, decreases dyspnea, decreases the work of breathing, and improves comfort
NCT03010046
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending, single-infusion, sequential group study. Single, ascending doses will be administered to approximately 64 subjects, with an option for 1 additional multi-dose cohort in approximately 8 subjects. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of ANX005 administered as an intravenous infusion as a single agent and in combination with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). The optional multi-dose cohort will evaluate either additional subjects at the maximum tolerated dose or ANX005 administered as 2 infusions.
NCT04298710
The literature has shown that exercise is effective in decreasing blood glucose levels. However, it remains less clear if there is any difference between muscle groups regarding the glucose-lowering effects of exercise. The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in blood-glucose level changes in response to exercise that involves different muscle groups.
NCT04518904
Pulmonary contusion caused by severe thoracic trauma is a complex disease. Some patients may be secondary to severe complications such as pulmonary infection or even acute respiratory distress syndrome. At present, there have been no reports on related studies based on Chinese population. In this study, 800 patients with pulmonary contusion will be retrospectively investigated to determine the risk factors and independent risk factors of their poor prognosis, and to construct a prognosis prediction model and scoring criteria.
NCT04475445
Chronic cervicobrachialgia is a public health problem. Epidural injections of corticosteroids and local anesthesics via transforaminal and interlaminar routes both have shown their potential in its treatment. The interlaminar approach offers the advantage of an epidural injection (i.e., direct contact with the nerve root in the epidural space). However, it requires fluoroscopy and can lead to potentially serious complications (compression of the nerve root, spinal cord injury...). The ultrasound-guided injection of corticosteroids via the transforaminal route, which offers the advantage of selectively targeting the symptomatic nerve root, may have the same therapeutic advantages as the interlaminar approach in decreasing unilateral cervicobrachial pain (i.e. a decrease in pain after infiltration) and reduce its risks.The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of transforaminal vs interlaminar cervical corticosteroid injection.
NCT03587623
