Nicotine pouches (NPs) are increasingly being used by children, adolescents, and adults, and are often presented as a less harmful alternative to, for example, smoking. The ability to use these products discreetly (unlike smoking) makes them an attractive option for individuals who wish to avoid the stigma that smokers may sometimes experience. Nicotine is a well-known addictive substance that affects many organ systems, including the heart and circulatory system. The amount of nicotine in NPs varies greatly, but the pouches can contain large amounts of nicotine compared to the content of a single cigarette. While many studies have previously examined the effects of smoking and other nicotine products on the heart and circulatory system, specific data on the effects of NPs on these same systems are rather limited. In light of the above, the investigators have planned a study to investigate whether NPs affect the circulatory system and heart rate, assessed through electrocardiography (ECG) and vital signs (i.e., pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and more). The investigators hypothesis is that the nicotine content in NPs leads to notable changes in the aforementioned measurements and could therefore potentially be associated with an increased health risk.
NCT06836947
The study was planned to be conducted and completed within 6 months after ethics committee approval was obtained. The study is a prospective, quasi-experimental study. The population of the study will consist of children who are hospitalized in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of SBÜ. İzmir Dr. Behçet Uz Pediatric Diseases and Surgery Training and Research Hospital. The vital signs and comfort of the children of the parents who agreed to participate in the study will be measured before bathing (baseline) and care will be taken to ensure that they are similar in both groups. Children in the study will not be randomized. In the routine operation of the clinic, traditional bathing is performed once a week and wipe bathing is performed once every two days. Wipe bathing is performed at 36-37 degrees water with 10 ml of chlorhexidine in 200 ml of water. Traditional bathing is also performed with 36-37 degrees water in bed or in the bathtub. In the study, no intervention will be performed and the outcomes will be measured and compared with each other before and after both bathing procedures. Physiologic parameters including respiratory rate, pulse rate, oxygen saturation and comfort levels of newborns just before, during and after the bathing process (1st and 5th minute) will be evaluated and compared with each other. To avoid bias in the study, all bathing procedures will be performed by Specialist Nurse Esat Erdem GÖKPINAR. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
NCT06816420
In this study, the effect of cold application on the pain experienced during port catheter needle insertion and the change in the patient's vital signs will be evaluated. It is thought that with this application, patients will experience less pain during port catheter needle insertion. The change in the patient's vital signs and pain status will also be evaluated. The research will be conducted in the outpatient chemotherapy department of a Hospital.
NCT05536206
The current study aims to investigate the feasibility of transmitting continuous and wireless vital sign data in real time from patients home to the hospital in patients discharged after an acute medical hospitalization
NCT04003415
This study will test the accuracy of an investigational, non-invasive device for measuring heart rate and respiratory rate. The device emits radiowaves that allows it to pick up subtle changes in a person's chest wall, which allows it to calculate the heart rate and respiratory rate. We propose to study whether the device's measurements are accurate and reproducible in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma. The device undergoing study has been evaluated in healthy volunteers, but its accuracy in vital sign monitoring in patients with respiratory conditions has not yet been established. This study will serve as the foundation for additional work to assess the device's accuracy in measuring a patient's overall "work of breathing" or respiratory effort. Future work will examine the device's accuracy in measuring work of breathing in patients having an exacerbation of their underlying respiratory condition. The primary aim of this study will be to assess the validity of heart rate and respiratory rate measurements in patients with either COPD or asthma.
NCT03269643
This study comparing both of the investigational device and reference device to gold standard Patient Monitor of the accuracy of heart rate and respiratory rate monitoring. The primary variables for the analysis of heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) are each the overall mean root mean square difference (RMSD). Results of the investigational device and reference device compared with the patient monitor are evaluated to see if there are equivalent. Motion and bed exit accuracy will be evaluated by comparing with the manual observation.
