Doxapram Therapy in Preterm Infants (DOXA Trial)
Preterm infants often suffer from apnea of prematurity (AOP; a cessation of breathing) due to immaturity of the respiratory system. AOP can lead to oxygen shortage and a low heart rate which might harm the development of the newborn, especially the central nervous system. In order to prevent oxygen shortage, …

Predicting the Need for Intubation in Hospitalised COVID-19 Patients (PRED ICU COVID19)
The hypothesis of the study is that, in proven or suspected hospitalised and oxygen-requiring COVID-19 patients, an early predictive clinical score, calculated over the three first days of admission may allow for an earlier identification of patients who will require intubation and transfer to an intensive care unit for orotracheal …

Prevention of Endotracheal Tube Migration by Cuff Palpation During Robotic Surgical Procedure
After intubation, the endotracheal tube was finally fixed after palpating endotracheal cuff at three sites (just below the cricoid cartilage, at suprasternal level and just below suprasternal notch).

Use of Ultrasound to Confirm the Position of the Cuff of the Endotracheal Tube in Relation to the Cricoid in the Pediatric Population During General Anesthesia.
Previously, no clinical or imaging method has been used in real time at the bedside to determine the exact location of the ETT cuff after endotracheal intubation. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) may provide an option for a safe and rapid means of visualizing the cuff of the ETT and its relationship …

HFNC and NIV for COVID-19 Complicated by Respiratory Failure
Background: Patients with COVID-19 have a range of clinical spectrum from asymptomatic infection, mild illness, moderate infection requiring supplemental oxygen and severe infection requiring intensive care support. High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may offer respiratory support to patients with COVID-19 complicated by acute hypoxemic …

The Voice Analysis as a Preoperative Prediction Method of a Difficult Airway
The preanesthetic evaluation of the airway allows for proper planning, facilitates the anticipation of human resources and necessary means to face the possible challenges in a safe and efficient way. Orofacial mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation are a crucial step in general anesthesia. Most of the time, management is not …

Improving Colonoscopy Quality for Colorectal Cancer Screening in the National VA Healthcare System
High quality screening colonoscopy is critical for colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention in Veterans. There is significant variability in colonoscopy quality in VA that is directly linked to differences in CRC incidence and death. The investigators developed the VA Endoscopy Quality Improvement Program (VA-EQuIP) that the National GI program office will …

Shock Index Modified Shock Index and Age-related Shock Index for Predicting Post-spinal Hypotension in Elderly Patients
Aim of this prospective observational study is to investigate whether shock index(SI), modified shock index(MSI) and age related shock index(ASI) have any predictive value in predicting post-spinal hypotension which may develop in patients over 65 years of age, who are planned to undergo transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and …

Evaluating Pulse Oximetry Bias in Children With Darker Skin Pigmentation
In this prospective study, the investigators will enroll 154 children with arterial lines to determine the accuracy of pulse oximeters in children with darker skin pigmentation. Studies in adults suggest pulse oximeters may overestimate the true level of oxygenation in the blood as measured directly by co-oximetry. However, pediatric data …
