NCT00115349
The purpose of this study is to determine whether left ventricular function improves more rapidly with deferoxamine (DFO) and deferiprone (L1) combination therapy than with DFO monotherapy in patients with thalassemia and decreased ejection fractions. Secondary aims include evaluating changes in myocardial iron burden using T2\* and estimating the relative incidence and severity of chelator-induced toxicity.
NCT01093482
The objective of this study is to obtain a better understanding of the spectrum of use of mechanical ventilation in intensive care units: 1. Main analysis: To know the all-cause mortality rate in mechanically ventilated patients 2. Secondary analyses: * To know the current status of mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit and determine the number and percentage of patients who are admitted to an intensive care unit and require mechanical ventilation. * To compare the results with prior data collected in previous observational studies (1998 and 2004) * Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation * Weaning * Use of adjuvant therapies as steroids or selective digestive decontamination * Sedation including prevalence of delirium in mechanically ventilated patients * Prediction of the duration of mechanical ventilation * Other
