Clinical Decision Support Tool in PARDS Pilot Study
NCT04068012
Recruiting
Previous clinical trials in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have demonstrated that ventilator management choices can improve Intensive Care Unit (ICU) mortality and shorten time on mechanical ventilation. This study seeks to scale an established Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tool to facilitate dissemination and implementation of evidence-based research in mechanical ventilation of infants and children with pediatric ARDS (PARDS). This will be accomplished by using CDS t... Read More

CEDARS Intervention: A Coping, Emotional Development, & Stress Reduction Intervention
NCT04958694
Recruiting
Using an adapted stress-reduction intervention called the CEDARS, the investigators will pilot the intervention in adolescents (N=40) to determine the feasibility and acceptability of CEDARS implementation and to investigate adolescent stress reduction. As an exploratory aim, the investigators will explore the influence of the CEDARS on CMH-related behaviors and CMH. The investigators expect that those adolescents who undergo the intervention will have the greatest improvement in mental health s... Read More

Trial of Therapeutic Hypothermia in Patients With ARDS
NCT04545424
Recruiting
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a serious condition that occurs as a complication of medical and surgical diseases, has a mortality of \~40%, and has no known treatment other than optimization of support. Data from basic research, animal models, and retrospective studies, case series, and small prospective studies suggest that therapeutic hypothermia (TH) similar to that used for cardiac arrest may be lung protective in patients with ARDS; however, shivering is a major complication...

Immune Status After Being on Call for 24 Hrs
NCT06636318
Recruiting
Sleep deprivation is a prevalent problem in modern societies. Sleep deprivation can cause hormonal changes, such as an increase in cortisol, as well as inflammation. Animal studies have shown an increase in inflammatory cytokine production following sleep deprivation. Additionally, humans experiencing sleep deprivation may experience a decrease in natural killer cells and lymphocytes. Physicians, particularly those in surgical specialties, are often subjected to sleep deprivation as part of the... Read More

Error-enhanced Learning & Recovery in 2 & 3 Dimensions
NCT05180786
Recruiting
This study is being done to see how errors lead to improvement. Specifically, we are evaluating the errors stroke participants make during an upper extremity exercise program when reaching for a target using their affected arm. Once we understand the participant's reaching errors, we plan to create a customized reaching exercise according to the individual's specific error tendencies which will lead to better performance on movement ability after training.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Delivery Guided Non-Invasive Electrical and Venous Anatomy Assessment
NCT05327062
Recruiting
The objective of this prospective, multicenter controlled study is to assess the feasibility of a patient-tailored implantation by creating a cloud-based pre-procedural multimodality CRT-roadmap by integration of 3D images from 3D activation sequence from ECG, and coronary venous anatomy from cardiac computed tomography. This CRT-roadmap will be used to guide LV lead placement to a coronary vein in an electrically late-activated region. Study Hypothesis: At least 75% of patients undergoing a CR... Read More
