Predicting Success of Decannulation Using Wearable-derived Physiology

The population included in this study consists of tracheostomy patients admitted to the pulmonary department of Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital, undergoing decannulation rehabilitation treatment. Once patient conditions stabilized, they were all transitioned to the decannulation process established by our department in 2018, which utilizes a speaking valve instead of capping. Each enrolled patient received physiological monitoring upon admission and the day prior to the initial use of the speaking valve, with continuous monitoring for 24 hours through wearable devices.The monitored physiological parameters were compared between the successful decannulation group and the failed decannulation group, and a predictive decannulation model was established in advance based on clinical parameters. Decannulation criteria: If the patient can tolerate wearing the speaking valve continuously for 4 hours (gradually increasing the duration: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours), and if PEF \> 100 liters/min, planned removal of the tracheostomy tube can be considered. Based on decannulation outcomes, patients were categorized into the successful decannulation group and the failed decannulation group. Successful decannulation group: Patients who successfully completed the decannulation process and had their tubes removed, with no reinsertion of the tracheostomy tube or endotracheal intubation within 48 hours after decannulation. Failed decannulation group: Patients who did not pass the decannulation process, and the multidisciplinary team advised against removal of the tracheostomy tube; or patients who passed the decannulation process and had the tracheostomy tube removed but required reinsertion of the tracheostomy tube or endotracheal intubation within 48 hours due to medical conditions.

Progressive Relaxation Exercises Before Mobilization:Effects on Pain, Anxiety and Physiologic Parameters CABG Patients

This study is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises applied before mobilization on pain, anxiety and physiological parameters in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

The Effect of Virtual Reality and Eye Mask During Dressing After CABG Surgery

This study aims to evaluate the effects of virtual reality (VR) and eye mask (EM) applications on pain, anxiety, and physiological parameters during dressing after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Postoperative dressing procedures, especially after sternotomy, often cause significant pain and anxiety in patients. These issues can negatively impact recovery and increase the need for medication. Non-pharmacological interventions such as VR and EM may help reduce these symptoms. In this randomized controlled trial, 90 patients are divided into three groups: VR group, EM group, and a control group receiving standard care. Pain and anxiety levels are monitored baseline, immediately after, and 15 minutes after both the first and second dressing procedures. Physiological parameters are measured baseline, during, immediately after, and 15 minutes after both dressing procedures. Additionally, analgesic use is followed baseline and immediately after each dressing procedure. The study is conducted in a cardiovascular intensive care unit in Istanbul, Türkiye. It is expected that the findings will support the integration of VR and EM as effective, low-cost, and non-invasive options for postoperative care, improving patient comfort and healthcare quality.

This Study Assess Some Physiological Parameters, Blood Picture, and Hemodynamic Parameters, Blood Pressure, Respiratory Assess by SPO2, During Different Periods in Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is widely used now. These benefits included many items, e.g. reducing post-operative pain, cosmetic the result was improved, and the patient also had more satisfaction for the patient and reduced hospital stay. This surgery involved insufflation of gas into the peritoneal cavity, producing pneumoperitoneum, and causing an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. The raised intraabdominal pressure of the pneumoperitoneum, the patient's position alteration, and the absorption of carbon dioxide into the abdomen have a direct effect on causing a change in physiology, especially in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. These effects, as well as a direct effect of gas insufflation, may have significant effects on the patient especially if the patient has a comorbidity or is elderly.
