NIRS in Congenital Heart Defects - Correlation With Echocardiography
Neonatal patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) have changing physiology in the context of transitional period. Patients with CHD are at risk of low perfusion status or abnormal pulmonary blood flow. Near infrared spectroscopy has been used in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) to measure end-organ perfusion. The investigator plan …
Postnatal Steroids Effects on Cardiac Function in Extremely Preterm
Hypothesis/Study question In infants born at less than 29 weeks of estimated gestational age, what are the effects of dexamethasone use on cardiac structure/performance and lung water content? Study objectives To measure effects before and after dexamethasone administration on cardiac structure/performance will be evaluated by using the M-mode technique (Devereux …
Exploratory Observational Prospective Study in Neonatal and Pediatric Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
CDH is associated with lung hypoplasia, pulmonary hypertension, and left ventricular hypoplasia. Use of new STE techniques (heart ultrasound) showed that CDH newborns have decreased LV size and function, potentially explaining the non-response to iNO, and that these cardiac findings were associated with poor outcomes. Our hypothesis: CDH newborns persist …
Pulmonary Vascular Disease and Cardiac Performance in Extreme Preterm Infants
Pulmonary vascular disease and cardiac performance in extreme preterm infants: A prospective cross-sectional study
Societal Burden Associated With Type 1 Diabetes in Canada
The purpose of this observational study is to estimate the burden of T1D on caregivers of patient with T1D in terms of work productivity, healthcare resource utilization and quality of life.
Optic Nerve Sheath Ultrasound in Giant Cell Arteritis
The Sonographic Assessment of the Optic Nerve Sheath in Giant Cell Arteritis (SONIC-GCA) study will evaluate the performance of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), measured via ultrasound, to diagnose and monitor GCA. SONIC-GCA builds upon our previous pilot studies and will answer the following questions: What is the performance …
Predicting Acute Exacerbations of COPD Using Wearable Devices and Remote Monitoring Technology With AI/ML Models
This study is aimed to collect real-time physiological data using two wearable devices (a biometric ring and a biometric wristband), daily lung mechanical measurements by a handheld oscillometer, and participant-reported symptoms in patients with COPD remotely from their home environment. The data will be used to train and validate artificial …
The Impact of Fasting Duration on Quality of Recovery After Cesarean Section
This study will evaluate the effect of fasting duration and elective c-section start time on the overall quality of recovery. Patients will be seen 24 hours after surgery to answer 11 questions on their overall recovery after surgery. Several factors will be tracked to determine their effect on recovery, with …
Sensory Anesthesia Achieved Through Different Paravertebral Block Approaches for Post-Op Pain Management After VATS Lung Resection
Video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgical approach frequently used in the treatment of lung cancers. The most commonly used analgesic technique for this surgery is the paravertebral block with a single peroperative injection of local anesthetic. However, a recent study conducted at our institution revealed that …
A Portable Thoracic Impedance Device for Detecting Pulmonary Congestion in Heart Failure Patients
This study investigates a portable thoracic bioimpedance tomography (TBIT) device designed to detect early lung congestion in heart failure patients. The main goal is to evaluate how well the device's measurements match those obtained from lung ultrasound and other imaging techniques. By detecting lung fluid build-up before symptoms worsen, this …
