NCT03284203
The investigators' central hypotheses predict that the handheld spirometry device will be feasible for inpatient and at-home use, and is equally efficacious at determining lung function when compared to traditional, bedside spirometry measurements. To test these hypotheses, the investigators propose the following specific aims: Specific Aim 1: Determine the correlation of SpiroPD handheld spirometry measurements with bedside Koko spirometry lung function. Hypothesis: Correlation between the two lung function tests will be substantial for both hospitalized and ambulatory patients. Specific Aim 2: To determine the feasibility, adherence, and preliminary management efficacy of home SpiroPD testing. Hypotheses: (1) Patients will demonstrate substantial adherence to daily home spirometry testing; (2) medication adherence will increase significantly in patients who are adherent to daily home spirometry testing; (3) acute care utilization will decrease significant in adherent patients.
NCT04362631
This study will monitor physical bio-markers such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature to detect potential respiratory infections.
NCT03255057
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of using the Hemolung RAS to provide low-flow extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) as an alternative or adjunct to invasive mechanical ventilation for patients who require respiratory support due to an acute exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is hypothesized that the Hemolung RAS can be safely used to avoid or reduce time on invasive mechanical ventilation compared to COPD patients treated with standard-of-care mechanical ventilation alone. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive lung support with either the Hemolung RAS plus standard-of-care mechanical ventilation, or standard-of-care mechanical ventilation alone.
