Effect of Toothbrushing Without Chlorhexidine on Oral Hygiene Indices in Patients With Orotracheal Intubation
The oral hygiene method commonly used in intubated patients orotracheal is tooth brushing (mechanical removal) and washing the oral cavity and the orotracheal tube (TOT) with digluconate solution chlorhexidine (CLX). However, recent studies have demonstrated that the use of CLX in these conditions may expose the patient to a potential …
Effect of Resistance Training in Patients on the Waiting List for Heart Transplant
The present longitudinal, randomized, and blinded clinical trial aims to: Evaluate the effects of resistance training on the functional capacity, quality of life, and cardiac biomarkers of hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF) on the waiting list for heart transplantation (HTx). Evaluate the associations between Fried's frailty classification and functional …
Psychoeducational Group for Depression
The study aims to investigate the efficacy of a psychoeducational program as an adjunctive treatment for depression. The study will involve 338 patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) of moderate severity. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Treatment as usual (TAU) alone or TAU plus the psychoeducational …
Use of Botulinum Toxin A in Direct Eyebrow Lift Scar
Prospective, controlled and randomized study in which participants indicated for surgery to direct eyebrow lift will be randomized into two groups. In addition to surgery, the patients will be treated with botulinum toxin in one eyebrow and saline (placebo) in the other site. The patients participate as treatment and placebo …
Isolated Resistance Training and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Patients With Femoral Intra Aortic Balloon Pump.
The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effects of a standardized exercise program alone versus the same program combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation in patients undergoing heart failure . The main questions it aims to answer are: Assessing the ultrasonographic parameters: echo intensity (echogenicity), cross-sectional area, …
Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Phrenic Nerve Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Diaphragmatic Stimulation
Transcutaneous electrical phrenic nerve stimulation (TEPNS) and transcutaneous electrical diaphragm stimulation (TEDS) are modalities that use surface electrodes placed on the patients' skin to generate action potentials and contractions of the muscle fibers of the diaphragm. The primary objective will be to evaluate the efficacy of TEPNS and TEDS in …
Respiratory Mechanics Assessment at Different Head of the Bed Elevations in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
The effects of different degrees of head-of-bed elevation on respiratory mechanics are poorly explored in the literature, and no study has investigated such effects using electrical impedance tomography, esophageal and gastric balloons to identify the ideal angle for optimizing respiratory mechanics. The hypothesis is that there is a optimal degree …
Effectiveness of Platform-Based Lateralization Therapy in Reducing Interface Pressure Between The Patient And The Support Surface
Pressure injury (PI) is characterized as damage to the skin and/or underlying tissues resulting from sustained pressure or a combination of pressure and shear forces between the patient and the support surface. Prolonged pressure is a well-established risk factor in the development of PIs. Frequent repositioning and routine patient care …
