Hospital at Home for Elderly Acute Ill Patients
Many elderly patients with uncomplicated treatment courses are admitted unnecessarily, which is a burden for the patient and society. Studies show that Hospital at Home (HaH) treatment is an alternative to hospitalization. The patient's risk of delirium, infection and loss of function is reduced when the patient avoids the hospital …
Novel Tools to Improve Management of Paediatric Community-Acquired Pneumonia - ToolCAP
The ToolCAP study aims to see if using ultrasound to look at the lungs when children have symptoms of a lung infection will safely allow doctors to improve how they treat those infections. The study will also look at if it's possible to improve how doctors decide which children need …
Reducing Overuse of Antibiotics with Decision Support
Eliminating inappropriate antibiotic use in pediatric lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) is the central focus of this research. LRTIs (pneumonia, bronchiolitis, and infection-related exacerbations of asthma) account for nearly one-third of all emergency department (ED) visits and 40% of all infection-related hospitalizations in US children. LRTIs also account for more …
High PEEP in Noninvasive Ventilation Patients With Pneumonia or ARDS
Noninvasive ventilation is commonly employed in patients with pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and has been shown to reduce the need for intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation. However, the rate of noninvasive ventilation failure remains substantial, at approximately 40%. Compared with patients in whom noninvasive ventilation succeeds, those …
Follow-up Automatically vs. As-Needed Comparison (FAAN-C) Trial
Compare the effectiveness of automatic vs as-needed (PRN) post-hospitalization follow-up for children who are hospitalized for common infections.
ItAlian ReGistry Of pNeumoniA in immUnocompromised paTients (ARGONAUT)
This multicentric, prospective study aims at: evaluating the prevalence, etiology, characteristics, and 1one-year outcomes of immunocompromised patients hospitalized for Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP); conducting biochemical, microbiological and genetic analysis on collected samples.
Antimicrobial Stewardship For Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in Intensive Care
Increasing emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria worldwide is now considered one of the most urgent threats to global health. The association between increase of antibiotics consumption and resistance emergence has been well documented for all patients admitted to the Intensive care unit (ICU) who received antibiotic treatment and for …
Randomized, Embedded, Multifactorial Adaptive Platform Trial for Community- Acquired Pneumonia
REMAP-CAP is a randomised, embedded, multifactorial, adaptive platform trial for community-acquired pneumonia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a range of interventions to improve outcome of patients admitted to intensive care with community-acquired pneumonia. In addition, REMAP-CAP provides and adaptive research platform for evaluation of …
AntiThrombotic Therapy to Ameliorate Clinical Complications in Community Acquired Pneumonia
This is an international, open-label, stratified randomized controlled trial with Bayesian adaptive stopping rules to compare the effects of therapeutic-dose heparin vs. usual care pharmacological thromboprophylaxis on outcomes in patients admitted to hospital with community acquired pneumonia (CAP).
Perioperative Respiratory Care and Outcomes for Patients Undergoing High Risk Abdominal Surgery
PENGUIN is a pragmatic multi-center trial investigating the effects of pre-operative mouthwash and perioperative oxygen on the incidences of pneumonia and surgical site infection (SSI) following major abdominal surgery. Patients will be recruited from low and middle income countries and randomly assigned to a trial treatment arms: a) pre-operative chlorhexidine …
