1. Point-of-Care RBC Washing to Prevent Transfusion-Related Pulmonary Complications

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is designed to determine if point-of-care washing of allogeneic Leukocyte-Reduced Red Blood Cells reduces pulmonary complications when compared to standard-of-care Leukocyte-Reduced Red Blood Cells in a cardiac surgical population.

2. A Study to Assess Physician Preferences for Electronic Chart Review and Historical Information Needs for New Patient Encounters in the ICU

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop an interactive medical record timeline based on physician preferences and perceived clinical needs, to improve the chart review process for new patient encounters in the ICU.

3. Learning More about How your Brain Works with Decreased Levels of Oxygen

   Rochester, Minn.

   The specific aim of this proposal is (1) to develop a human model of hypoxia in which cerebrovascular reactivity and cognitive function can be simultaneously measured and (2) develop pilot data in our laboratory on the relationship between cerebrovascular reactivity and cognitive function during three different hypoxic conditions with and without addition of inspired CO2 as a mechanism to maintain cerebral blood flow.

4. A Study of Objective Measure of Recovery After Outpatient Surgery

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to use wearable monitoring devices to assess patient activity and sleep patterns before and after outpatient inguinal hernia surgery to determine when these parameters return to baseline.

5. Effects of Ischemia and Hypoxia on Exercise Tolerance and the Development of Quadriceps Fatigue in Men and Women

   Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this study is to determine how neuromuscular fatigue in exercising muscle is influenced by local vs. global oxygen deficit. 

6. A Study to Evaluate Unintended Prolonged Opioid Use

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to identify patient characteristics that are associated with unintended prolonged opioid use (UPUO).

7. A Study for Collecting Data on Subjects Undergoing Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) to Simulate Progressive Blood Loss

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is for collecting data on subjects undergoing lower body negative pressure (LBNP) to simulate progressive blood loss to look at different variables associated with blood loss.

8. A Study of the Impact of CVS-ICU Cardiac Arrest Efficiency Initiative on the Delay from Cardiac Arrest to Critical Resuscitation Efforts

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary aim of this study is to determine the impact of our CVS-ICU cardiac arrest efficiency initiative on the delay from cardiac arrest to critical resuscitation efforts.

9. Study Neuromuscular Devices for Routing Monitoring

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine how long it takes anesthesia providers to apply various neuromuscular monitors that are utilized to determine the depth of neuromuscular blockade.
    

10. A Study to Compare the ToFscan and TetraGraph During Recovery of Neuromuscular Function in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to assess the agreement and repeatability between TOF values obtained from ToFscan and TetraGraph.
