Feasibility Study for VCool™ Intranasal Cooling System in Healthy Volunteers

The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of the VCool Intranasal Cooling System in healthy adult volunteers. The study is designed to gather preliminary data regarding air flow rates and time required to reduce core body temperature to 35.5℃ and maintain the temperature between 35℃ and 36℃ for one hour after cooling.

Serious Game for Improving Targeted Temperature Management Knowledge and Situational Awareness in Critical Care Nurses

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a serious game in improving targeted temperature management (TTM) knowledge and situational awareness among critical care nurses. A total of 120 nurses from adult intensive care units will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving traditional lecture-based teaching or an experimental group receiving lecture-based teaching combined with a digital serious game. Outcomes will be measured using a TTM knowledge test, a situational awareness scale, and a system usability scale. The findings will provide evidence for the use of serious games as an innovative educational strategy to enhance post-resuscitation care quality and patient safety.

Targeted Temperature Management Via Bladder Monitoring in ICH

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a bladder temperature monitoring-guided targeted temperature management (TTM) strategy improves functional recovery in patients with severe intracerebral hemorrhage, compared to conventional temperature monitoring. It will also assess the safety of this monitoring approach. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does continuous bladder temperature monitoring-guided TTM improve the likelihood of a favorable functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0-2) at 180 days after onset? * What medical problems (such as infections, shivering, deep vein thrombosis, or sepsis) do participants experience while under the TTM strategy? Researchers will compare the intervention group (using continuous bladder temperature monitoring) with the control group (using conventional intermittent temperature monitoring with a mercury thermometer at the armpit) to see if the bladder temperature-guided TTM strategy leads to better outcomes. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to one of the two temperature monitoring strategies * Receive standard medical and surgical care for severe intracerebral hemorrhage

The Impact of Targeted Temperature Management Duration on Thrombin Function in Cardiac Arrest Patients

This study will be a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial with an estimated sample size of 64 patients. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive TTM for either 24 hours or 72 hours. The primary outcome measure will be the changes in thrombin function indices at various time points during TTM treatment in both groups. The secondary endpoints of the study include additional coagulation function indicators, the incidence of bleeding-related events between the two groups, the amount of blood products used, the incidence of thrombotic events, and the CPC scores at 28 days and 6 months for both groups.

Resting Energy Expenditure and Substrate Consumption in Cardiac Arrest Patients Under Target Temperature Management

This study is a single-center, prospective, observational study. According to the sample size formula, an estimated 40 cases should be collected, all of whom are from the emergency intensive care unit. After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the enrolled patients will be transferred to the emergency intensive care unit for further standardized target temperature management (TTM). They will be divided into 33 ° C hypothermia group and 36 ° C hypothermia group according to the patient's core body temperature. The baseline data of the patients will be collected at the beginning. After admission to the hospital, they were fasted within 24 hours to reach the target temperature, and then 20kcal/kg/d parenteral nutrition will be given. At selected time points (T0: the initial time point before TTM; T1: the core temperature was reduced to 33 ° C or 36 ° C; T2-T4: 33 ° C or 36 ° C was maintained for 24h, 48h, 72h; T5: the end of rewarming; Tend: the last REE measurement before discharge or death) , various observation indicators will be collected, including resting energy expenditure (REE), glucose oxidation rate, fat oxidation rate, protein oxidation rate, and metabolism of three major nutrients Proportion. Neurological outcomes were followed up 28 days after onset according to the Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) score.
