2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that are associated with improved cardiovascular function with the use of CPAP therapy on subjects diagnosed with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Fluid overload is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with severe acute kidney injury. It remains unclear if fluid overload is merely a marker of disease severity or if organ congestion is a mediator of complications. Point-of-care ultrasound could be a modality used to assess organ congestion and its clinical implications. The objective of this study is to determine whether ultrasound markers of organ congestion are associated with major adverse kidney events in critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury.
