Inhaled Treprostinil (Tyvaso Nebulizer) For COPD Patients With Hypoxemia
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether inhaled Treprostinil (Tyvaso) can improve oxygen delivery and blood flow in the lungs in adults (age ≥40) with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypoxemia who have less severe reduction in lung blood volume (diffusing capacity of the lungs for …
Effect of Elastic Chest Compression on Functional Exercise Capacity and Respiratory Performance in Patients With COPD
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of elastic chest compression on functional exercise capacity and respiratory performance of patients with COPD. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there difference in functional exercise capacity and respiratory performance without or with the use of …
How Nocturnal Hypoventilation Predicts Long-term Response to Non-invasive Ventilation in Hypercapnic COPD Patients
The study is an observational, single-center, prospective cohort study aiming to evaluate respiratory mechanics data, as well as clinical and functional parameters commonly used in clinical practice in patients with COPD and hypercapnic respiratory failure. The study population consists of patients with COPD and hypercapnia requiring NIV. The primary objective …
Multidisciplinary Management of Severe COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common chronic disease that is characterized by persistent airflow limitation, that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases, particularly cigarette smoking. Latest updates of the Global Burden of Disease emphasize the dramatic size …
Supramaximal High-Intensity Interval Training in People With and Without Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Beyond pulmonary complications, COPD presents with extrapulmonary manifestations including reduced cognitive, cardiovascular, and muscle function. While exercise training is the cornerstone in the non-pharmacological treatment of COPD, there is a need for new exercise training methods. The COPD-HIIT trial intend to investigate the effects and mechanisms of 12 weeks supramaximal …
Longitudinal Study of Helium-3 and Xenon-129 Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Subjects male and female aged 50-85 with a clinical diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or Bronchiectasis, or those with ≥ 10 pack/years smoking history will be imaged with CT and MRI for the development of tools to quantify and validate longitudinal in vivo magnetic resonance imaging phenotypes of …
Prevalence of Sarcopenic Obesity in COPD
The goal of this observational study is to the purpose is to apply of ESPEN/EASO criteria for the diagnosis of sarcopenic obesity and calculation of OS prevalence in a sample of COPD patients. In addition, this study want to evaluate the impact of sarcopenic obesity on the respiratory function of …
Cardiac Assessment and Takotsubo-stunning Among COPD-exacerbations In-Hospital
The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate to what extent acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AE-COPD) triggers Takotsubo-stunning, and how this affects the outcome for these patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is cumulative incidence of Takotsubo-stunning in patients hospitalized for …
The Clear Conversations Project
Understanding health information can be difficult. This means some people struggle to know how to manage their health. Also, people may not know what health services to use or when to use them. This can lead to poorer health. It is therefore important health workers can communicate information clearly. This …
Implementation of a Sarcopenia Clinic to Diagnose and Treat Skeletal Muscle Loss Due to COPD
Sarcopenia, or skeletal muscle loss, impacts up to 40% of COPD patients and is a major cause for morbidity and mortality. Despite the high clinical significance of sarcopenia in COPD, the diagnosis remains elusive because accurate measures of skeletal muscle are not tested during routine clinical care. The goal is …
