1. Real Time Detection of Electrophysiologic Disturbances Following Subdural Hematoma Evacuation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to detect and characterizer electrophysiologic disturbances (such as local field potentials) in patients with underrecognized cause of coma, focal deficits and prolonged encephalopathy following subdural hematoma (SDH) evacuation.

2. Study to Compare Electrical and Ultrasonographic Evaluation of the Phrenic Nerve-Diaphragm Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ) Function

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to ensure technical success in the treatment of assessing diaphragmatic neuromuscular junction (NMJ) function of the diaphragm in normal patients.

3. A Study to Detect Non-convulsive Seizures with Single-channel Electroencephalogram (EEG)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess how accurately a portable single-channel EEG device (Epilog™ by Epitel) detects generalized non-convulsive seizures, and to determine the feasibility of use of this device in an acute setting such as the Emergency Department (ED).

4. Training of Physicians in Critical Care Ultrasonography (CCUS)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the improvement in physician’s knowledge and skill sets in ultrasonography after the implementation of simulation-based educational program.  

5. Study of the Incidence of Electrographic Status Epilepticus and Seizures of PICU Patients at National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is:

   1. To determine the incidence of subclinical electrographic seizures and electrographic status epilepticus in children admitted to the PICU for head trauma, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and/or child abuse at National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

   2. To determine whether a correlation exists between length of stay, morbidity, and mortality with incidence of subclinical SE and seizures.

6. A Study to Assess Steroid Dosing by bioMARker Guided Titration in Critically Ill Patients With Pneumonia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare a standard steroid dosing algorithm to a novel biomarker-tailored steroid dosing algorithm for patients receiving corticosteroids for community acquired pneumonia.  Patients with severe community acquired pneumonia may benefit from adjunctive corticosteroid therapy. The optimal patient selection, dosing and duration of steroids is unknown.

7. A Study to Compare High Versus Low Bicarbonate Bath in Critically-ill Patients Receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using high versus low bicarbonate containing replacement fluid in patients with metabolic acidosis receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) for acute kidney injury (AKI) on in-hospital mortality.

8. Healthcare Worker Exposure Response and Outcomes of Hydroxychloroquine

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate approximately 15,000 health care workers at risk for being exposed to COVID-19. 

9. A Pilot Study Examining Thiamine Deficiency in Patients Admitted to the Hospital for Liver Transplantation

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to report the proportion of thiamine deficiency (as defined by the Mayo Clinic Laboratory reference range) in liver transplant patients.

10. Study to Determine Safety and Effectiveness of Ascorbic Acid, Corticosteroids, and Thiamine in Treating Sepsis and Septic Shock

    Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Thiamine (Vitamin B1), and Corticosteroids improves the trajectory of organ failure and reduces mortality in patients with sepsis and septic shock as compared to placebo.
