IMPella versus IABP REduces mortality in STEMI patients treated with primary PCI IN SEVERE and deep cardiogenic SHOCK.
An international multicenter, randomized trial of the Impella cVAD (left ventricular assist) device versus Intra Aortic Balloon Counter Pulsation (IABP) therapy for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with primary PCI in severe and deep cardiogenic shock

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the Impella cVAD device vs. IABP therapy leads to a higher 30 day survival rate in shock STEMI patients in the setting of primary PCI.

The Effects of Transfusion of Red blood cells In Sepsis

To evaluate the effect of age of transfused erythrocytes on expression of *eat me* signals on erythrocytes in several critically ill patient populations (septic and non-septic patients) and to correlate these signals with parameters of impaired…

The effects of bilirubin infusion on the innate immune response during human endotoxemia.;A parallel open label placebo controlled pilot study.

Primary objective: To determine the effect of hyperbilirubinemia on systemic activation of the innate immune response induced by a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Secondary Objective(s): - To determine if hyperbilirubinemia shifts the pro-anti…

Treatment of hypotension of prematurity: a non-blinded cohort clinical trial

To compare neonatal mortality and short-term (advanced MRI indices of structural brain injury at 40 weeks* GA) and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes (Bayley scales of infant development III [BSID-III] at 24 months) between two groups of very…

The effect of sevoflurane and isoflurane on vasopressor need

Asymptomatic Carotid Surgery Trial -2 (ACST-2). A randomised trial to compare CEA versus CAS to prevent stroke.

The principal and primary research questions are:Primary objective: 1) What are the differences in clinical myocardial infarction (heart attack) rates and in stroke and death within 30 days of carotid stenting compared with carotid endarterectomy?…

Detection of sepsis at the intensive care unit with non-invasive transcutaneous blood gas monitoring.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of the delta PCO2 (PaCO2-tcPCO2) and delta PO2 (tcPO2 -cPO2) levels for the detection of sepsis. The secondary aims are to determine the factors that influence delta PCO2 and delta PO2…
