Deep Breathing Exercises and Incentive Spirometry After Rib Fracture
Chest trauma patients constitute approximately 10-15% of all traffic accidents. Many complications may occur after chest trauma, including rib fracture, pneumothorax, hemothorax, lung contusion, flail chest, atelectasis, respiratory failure and even death. Atelectasis is the most common of these complications. This study planned to investigate the effects of spirometry and …
Breathing Exercise for Rib Fracture
Respiratory physiotherapy is routinely performed after thoracic surgery operations to increase lung expansion and prevent pulmonary complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia. It is a controversial issue whether respiratory physiotherapy reduces pulmonary complications in rib fractures. In our study, patients with rib fractures will be divided into two groups. In …
Hyperoxia Induced Pulmonary Inflammation and Organ Injury: a Human in Vivo Model
Oxygen is the most commonly administered therapy in critical illness. Accumulating evidence suggests that patients often achieve supra-physiological levels of oxygenation in the critical care environment. Furthermore, hyperoxia related complications following cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction and stroke have also been reported. The underlying mechanisms of hyperoxia mediated injury remain poorly …
The Effects of Different Ventilation Modes on Patients With Pulmonary Lobe Resection
The objective of this study was to discuss the effects of different ventilation modes on patients with plasma inflammatory factor and respiratory function in patients with pulmonary removal.
Blue Light as an Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic Strategy in Thoracic Trauma
The main goal of this clinical trial is to learn if light therapy improves pain and inflammation in adults with painful rib fractures. The main question it aims to answer is: Does bright blue light therapy in addition to standard pain treatments improve pain with breathing in adults with painful …
Neuromodulation to Reduce Muscle Stiffness Following Spinal Cord Injury
People with spinal cord injuries may experience muscle tightness or uncontrollable spasms. This study is being conducted to investigate whether transcutaneous spinal stimulation can improve these symptoms. Transcutaneous spinal stimulation is a non-surgical intervention by applying electrical currents using skin electrodes over the lower back and belly. The investigators want …
Effect of Human Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Non-cardiac Surgery-induced Lung Injury
This study is an exploratory clinical study to observe the improvement of lung function before and after the treatment by human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and the purpose is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells on non-cardiac surgery-induced lung injury in patients …
Feasibility of Reducing Respiratory Drive Using the Through-flow System
Mechanical ventilation can lead to diaphragm and lung injury. During mechanical ventilation, the diaphragm could be completely rested or it could be overworked, either of which may cause diaphragm injury. Mechanical stress and strain applied by mechanical ventilation or by the patient's own respiratory muscles can also cause injury to …
Ultrasound Guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block in ED Patients With Rib Fractures
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the Serratus Anterior Plane Block in patients with rib fractures. The main questions it aims to answer are: Determine if UG-SAPB results in an improved pain, incentive spirometry, and cough ability (PIC) score when compared to usual care …
BCI-Assisted SCS-EXS for Gait Optimization
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and technical feasibility of a novel brain-machine interface (BCI)-assisted spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and exoskeleton (EXS) system in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). The primary aim is to determine whether the BCI-SCS-EXS system can safely and effectively improve …
