TrOMaTho study is an investigator-initiated, randomized, unblinded, controlled trial. The aim of this study is to compare a prophylactic use of high-flow nasal cannula oxygenation (experimental group) to low-flow oxygenation (control group) after thoracic trauma. 770 patients will be included.
Background and Significance
With an aging population, the prevalence of cutaneous malignancies continues to pose significant burden in terms of morbidity and economic cost. It is estimated that 5.4 million new cases of non-melanoma skin cancers, i.e squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell
Advancements in the last 2 decades in the field of critical care medicine has led to an improvement in mortality of critically ill patients. This has led to interest in the long-term functional disabilities that the survivors suffer. The risks of developing cognitive dysfunction after critical
Rational As opposed to controlled mechanical ventilation, partial modes of assisted ventilation maintains a certain level spontaneous activity of respiratory muscles. As a consequence, assisted ventilation may contribute to prevents ventilator induced diaphragm dysfunction (1-3), improves gas
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a clinically relevant disease that is associated with cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurocognitive consequences. OSA is a very common disease; the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study found that OSA affects 2% of women and 4% of men aged 30-60. However, these data predate
Numerous factors are known to contribute to post-traumatic morbidity and mortality. Acute blood loss, hypovolemia, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome can often develop following severe traumatic injury and are, frequently, further exacerbated by the presence of pre-existing health
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome with no known etiology. Fibromyalgia is generally diagnosed in patients reporting widespread musculoskeletal pain, and tenderness. In addition to widespread pain, fibromyalgia is also characterized by chronic fatigue, depression, sleep disturbances, and poor
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disorder associated with poor neurocognitive performance and organ system dysfunction due to intermittent hypoxia and repeated arousals. The repetitive hemodynamic stresses are implicated in the increased incidence of systemic hypertension and
Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common type of brain injury. Post-mild TBI disability could stem from cognitive, physical, psychological and social dysfunction which resulted in significant disability and unemployment. Cognitive impairment post traumatic brain injury is due to the
INTRODUCTION Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Due to improvements in emergency medical care, transportation and specialized trauma facilities, the number of people surviving TBI with impairment has significantly increased in recent years. The
Background Cardiovascular disease is the commonest cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic dialysis patients [1]. Sleep studies in ESRD patients have identified increased prevalence of sleep apnea (SA), both obstructive (OSA) and central (CSA) in origin [2]. The reported prevalence of SA in
