INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection is a new rapidly spreading infectious disease with no proven treatment options. The virus causes a spectrum of disease ranging from mild coryzal symptoms to severe respiratory compromise requiring
In December 2019, a group of patients with the acute respiratory disease was detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China. A month later, a new beta-coronavirus was identified as the cause of the 2019 coronavirus infection. Despite China's efforts to contain the disease, it spread rapidly outside the
Coronavirus disease (COVID-2019) is a devastating viral illness that originated in Wuhan China in late 2019. The number of confirmed cases worldwide has nearly reached 2 million and more than 125,000 people have died. Early studies from Wuhan reported a mortality rate of 2-3% with lower rates in
In December 2019, a new identified coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak in Wuhan, causes public health crisis in China and spreads worldwide. On February 11,2020, the World Health Organization officially named the disease caused by the new coronavirus "COVID-19". The Chinese Government takes stronger
The FARAD MI will be a randomized, multicenter prospective study will be conducted. Patients with the diagnosis of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction treated at the Sancta Maggiore Emergency Departments who have been thrombolyzed and aged up to 80 years will be included. After
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (increased lung blood pressure) is a multifactorial disease without a cure. Investigating reversible forms of pulmonary hypertension induced under extreme conditions such as a prolonged breath-hold and/or SCUBA diving may help to better understand why some individuals
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is present in ~30% of the general population. The PFO has historically been considered to be trivial. However, recent work by the investigator's group and others has identified that, compared to individuals without a PFO, those with a PFO have a higher core body
Oxygen therapy is the first-line treatment in management of acute respiratory failure (ARF). Different oxygen delivery devices have become available over recent decades, either low-flow systems (nasal cannula, simple facemask, non-rebreathing reservoir mask) or high-flow systems (Venturi mask) . The
Background of the Project including Preliminary Observations Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia, complicate up to 10% of pregnancies worldwide, constituting one of the greatest causes of fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, low birth weight, perinatal mortality, and
1. The anticipated number of patient subjects will reach 120 in the study. The patient's condition should be informed to his/her next of kin and then agree to signs the informed consent.
2. When passing spontaneous breathing trials and removing tracheal tube, the patients should be divided into two
Introduction and project description:
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) in lung transplant patients is described as acute pulmonary damage occurring early in lung transplantation (in the first 72 hours) (1, 2), sometimes referred to as ischemia - reperfusion injury (1). It is characterized by
BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE
All currently available mechanical ventilation modes assume that patient-ventilator interaction is necessarily a "master-slave" or controller-follower relationship. In controlled mechanical ventilation, the ventilator takes control of the ventilatory rhythm irrespective
Oxygen is probably the most frequently used drug both in the prehospital and emergency setting. It is cheap, easily administered, and, at least for shorter time frames, widely believed to be without any risk of harm.
Treatment with oxygen is indicated in the state of hypoxemia in order to prevent
