NCT07047092
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem with 212.3 million prevalent cases of COPD worldwide and 3.3 million deaths related to COPD in 2019. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the most common sleep disordered breathing. It is estimated that almost 1 billion adults have OSA worldwide. Given the increasing prevalence of obesity, co-morbid OSA is frequently seen in patients with COPD. Co-morbid OSA has been shown to increase mortality, to reduce quality of life and to favour acute exacerbation of COPD. For those admitted for a life-threatening exacerbation of COPD requiring an intensive care admission for acute hypercapnic failure, they are more likely to get readmitted. For those admitted for an acute exacerbation in any ward, they are more likely to be re-admitted for another exacerbation within 180-days if their OSA is not treated. Unfortunately, data regarding the best management of OSA in patients with co-morbid COPD are lacking as they were often excluded from clinical trials involving patients with COPD. Therefore, CPAP or NIV are administered without scientific evidence establishing which treatment is the most appropriate.
NCT05808621
The aim of our study is to examine the Peripheral Muscle Oxygenations at rest and in motion on the 2nd day of hospitalized patients and before discharge in Severe Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and to compare the results in the hospital periods by repeating the tests in the stable periods of the patients 1 month after discharge.
NCT05008081
The CATALINA study is a prospective cohort study embedded within CICERO (Collaboration In COPD ExaceRbatiOns, a European Respiratory Society supported Clinical Research Collaboration), designed to collect standardised, longitudinal clinical data and biological samples in 20 centres across Europe and beyond.
NCT06561464
To examine the effects of oxygen therapy methods applied as indicated in COPD acute exacerbations on blood gas results and spirometric measurements.
NCT05776654
The purpose the study is to successfully characterize the recovery phase of acute exacerbations of COPD in the outpatient setting using remotely captured physiologic data from wearable devices, to compare this with patient self-reported symptom data, to determine which physiologic variable(s) best correspond with AECOPD recovery, and to further document the feasibility, data quantity, data quality, and COPD outpatient usability experience with wearable devices.
NCT05691387
The purpose of this study is to investigate the short-term effects of two different breathing techniques (the active cycle breathing technique (ACBT) and the pursed lip breathing technique (PLB)) with Thera PEP® on the clearance of secretions and the oxygen saturation of individuals who have recently experienced an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in individuals who have recently experienced an acute exacerbation of COPD (COPD). Thirty patients will each have an acute COPD exacerbation seen on them, and then they will be randomly allocated to one of two groups (1. ACBT and PLB; 2. Thera PEP). Participants in a study employing a design known as a within-subject randomized crossover will be given the instruction to carry out each procedure on consecutive days as part of the study. In this study, the dependent variables will include blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), respiratory rate, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), visual analog scale (VAS), sputum volume, and the breathlessness, cough, and sputum scale. In addition, the independent variables will include sputum volume (BCSC). The patient's desired course of treatment will also be taken into account. These dependent variables will be examined at three distinct moments in time: at the beginning of the study (the baseline), immediately after treatment, and thirty minutes after treatment has been completed.
NCT05699720
This study is designed to determine the effect of Nebulized Magnesium Sulphate as an add-on therapy with conventional treatment on In-hospital outcome in patients having acute exacerbation of COPD.
