The aim of this study is to assess emergency medicine physician and advanced practice provider (APP) knowledge and technical skill in performance of a point-of-care ultrasound simulation and just-in-time training pathway to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the ultrasound training program. By performing this study, we hope to …
The study team developed an uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD) protocol that preserves lungs for just over 3 hours after death using positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and supplemental oxygen. The study will assess lung uDCD program safety by continuous review of operations/clinical records from each case activation and …
The goal of this observational study is to learn how tumor tissue and blood samples from patients with sarcomas or metastases can be used to create laboratory models that help researchers study cancer behavior and test new treatments. Participants diagnosed with sarcoma or with bone or lung metastases from solid …
This study evaluates a smoking cessation intervention (CONNECTing to LungCare) for improving shared decision-making conversations about smoking cessation and lung cancer screening between patients and providers. Shared decision making is a patient care model in which providers offer information regarding risks and benefits, patients express their values and preferences, and …
This is a pragmatic clinical trial that will study the effect of a radiomics-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tool on clinicians' management of pulmonary nodules (PNs) compared to usual care. Adults aged 35-89 years with 8-30mm PNs evaluated at Penn Medicine PN clinics will undergo 1:1 randomization to one of two …
The aim is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a high dose arm (1mg/kg) vs a low dose (8mg in total) of steroid (Dexamethasone) given intravenous (IV) after the induction of anesthesia to "High-pain-responders" in patients undergoing VATS lobectomy/segmentectomy. The hypothesis is that a high dose of Dexamethasone …
The goal of this observational, retrospective, multicenter cohort study is to evaluate the surgical and oncologic outcomes of sleeve lobectomy performed via minimally invasive (RATS/VATS) or open thoracotomy approaches in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have undergone neoadjuvant therapy, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or combination regimens. The main …
This study was a randomized, parallel, cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fosrolapitant and Palonosetron Hydrochloride for Injection in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by multi-cycle immunotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer and lung cancer. A total of 120 subjects are planned to be enrolled, …
Respiratory Rate (RR) and heart rate (HR) are vital signs crucial for assessing a patient's overall health, providing insights into various conditions and stressors. Effective management of chronic diseases relies on detecting pathological changes early, with RR being among the most sensitive predictors of patient deterioration. Therefore, vigilant monitoring of …
Background Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that grows in the linings of the body; this can include the membranes that line the heart, lungs, and internal organs. Mesothelin (MSLN) is a protein that appears in high numbers in many tumors, including mesothelioma. Researchers are developing a new treatment that collects …
