Enrolling patients in clinical trials including observational and randomized controlled trials is key to providing the best care for patients requiring critical care @GUH_ICU_anaesth we are recruiting into COVID-19 related studies to improve outcomes for our sickest patients
In the @NUIG sponsored study Awake Prone Positioning to Reduce Invasive VEntilation in COVID-19 Induced Acute Respiratory failurE (APPROVE-CARE) we study the safety and efficacy of awake prone positioning in COVID-19 respiratory failure https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04347941
In CHARTER-Irl, Nebulised Heparin to Reduce COVID-19 Induced Acute Lung Injury (CHARTER-Irl)- we are studying new treatments for COVID-19 induced ARDS https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04511923
@GUH_ICU_Anaesth is a study site for the massive pandemic platform study REMAP-CAP https://www.remapcap.org/
We can improve outcomes for patients through international observational cohort studies which will provide real time answers on how to best manage COVID-19 and its end-organ effects including Covid Critical Care Consortium (CCCC/ECMOCARD) Study https://www.covid-critical.com/
