The investigators will conduct a prospective randomized, clinical trial in the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Ohio State University Medical Center. In the intervention arm, respiratory therapists' will conduct oxygen titration with the help of a novel, high fidelity, electronic health records based,
Undoubtedly, one of the most important elements of life on earth is oxygen. Aerobic organisms adapted to the 20.8% oxygen ratio in the atmosphere have survived even lower than this concentration by developing various defense mechanisms. The real question is whether high levels of oxygen in the
Bariatric surgery patients:
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the time spent in the SpO2 target (+/- 2% SpO2 target) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) values on patients with morbid obesity after bariatric surgery.
COPD patients:
The main objective of this study is to
Closed-loop control of oxygen therapy is described in the literature used for preterm infants, trauma patients, medical emergency use, and for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). O2matic is a closed-loop system that is based on continuous and non-invasive measurement of pulse
Introduction:
Ovarian cancer accounts for 2.5 percent of cancers in women. In Sweden, a total of 694 new cases of ovarian and fallopian tube cancers were reported in 2012. During the period 2005-2009, the relative 1-year survival for all ovarian cancers was 81.8% but 5-year survival was only 44%
Purpose: Over the last 10 years, recommendations regarding the ideal level of oxygen for resuscitation in preterm infants have changed from 100 percent, down to low levels of oxygen (<30 percent), up to moderate concentration (30-65 percent). In addition, in 2010, oxygen saturation targeting was
Background Each year, 50,000 extremely preterm infants are born in high-income countries with access to neonatal intensive care. Of these, 10,000 will die and a further 10,000 will suffer cerebral palsy or moderate-to-severe neuro-cognitive disability. Time spent outside normal cerebral oxygenation
Purpose: Over the last 10 years, recommendations regarding the ideal level of oxygen for resuscitation in preterm infants have changed from 100%, down to low levels of oxygen (<30%), up to moderate concentration (30-65%). In addition, in 2010, oxygen saturation targeting was recommended as standard
The administration of 100% oxygen for 3-5 minutes may replace the nitrogen content in the lung cavity (de-nitrogenation) with higher alveolar concentrations of oxygen (greater then 95%). Elevation of oxygen reserve in the lung and oxygen partial pressure in the blood circulation may thus delay the
Closed-loop control of oxygen therapy is described in the literature used for preterm infants, trauma patients, medical emergency use and patients with COPD. For the latter, closed-loop therapy has been used for patients admitted to hospital with an exacerbation, for domiciliary oxygen use and
Oxygen has a pivotal role in emergency medicine as a lifesaving therapy in numerous situations. In order to avoid hypoxia-related morbidity and mortality, oxygen is delivered in emergencies in a liberal way, even when hypoxia is not confirmed. Nevertheless, as every medication, experimental and
Investigators will perform a feasibility study followed by a randomized, controlled study on critically ill neonatal and pediatric patients on oxygen therapy.
Investigators will use a model-based adaptive control architecture to regulate FiO2 settings. A major advantage of using an "adaptive"
