RESUMO

AIM: The study aim was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of automated insulin delivery (AID) assisted by home health care (HHC) services in people with type 2 diabetes unable to manage multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) at home on their own. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was an open label, multicentre, randomized, parallel group trial. In total, 30 adults with type 2 diabetes using MDI and requiring nursing support were randomly allocated to AID or kept their usual therapy over a 12-week period. Both treatments were managed with the support of HHC services. The primary outcome was the percentage time in the target glucose range of 70-180 mg/dl (TIR). Secondary outcomes included other continuous glucose monitoring metrics, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, daily insulin doses, body weight, and of quality of life scores, fear of hypoglycaemia and satisfaction questionnaires. RESULTS: Age (69.7 vs. 69.3 years) and HbA1c (9.25 vs. 9.0) did not differ in MDI and AID at baseline. Compared with MDI, AID resulted in a significant increase in TIR by 27.4% [95% CI (15.0-39.8); p < .001], a decrease in time above range by 27.7% and an unchanged time below range of <1%. A between-group difference in HbA1c was 1.3% favouring AID. Neither severe hypoglycaemia nor ketoacidosis occurred in either group. Patient and caregiver satisfaction with AID was high. CONCLUSIONS: AID combined with tailored HHC services significantly improved glycaemic control with no safety issues in people with type 2 diabetes previously under an MDI regimen with HHC. AID should be considered a safe option in these people when lacking acceptable glucose control.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) has been widely used in patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (C-ARDS), though its physiological effects and outcome are debated in this setting. The objective of this cohort study was to describe the modalities of iNO use, clinical response, and outcomes in a large cohort of C-ARDS patients. METHODS: Multicentre, retrospective cohort study conducted in France. RESULTS: From end February to December 2020, 300 patients (22.3% female) were included, 84.5% were overweight and 69.0% had at least one comorbidity. At ICU admission, their median (IQR) age, SAPS II, and SOFA score were 66 (57-72) years, 37 (29-48), and 5 (3-8), respectively. Patients were all ventilated according to a protective ventilation strategy, and 68% were prone positioned before iNO initiation. At iNO initiation, 2%, 37%, and 61% of patients had mild, moderate, and severe ARDS, respectively. The median duration of iNO treatment was 2.8 (1.1-5.5) days with a median dosage of 10 (7-13) ppm at initiation. Responders (PaO2/FiO2 ratio improving by 20% or more) represented 45.7% of patients at 6 h from iNO initiation. The severity of ARDS was the only predictive factor associated with iNO response. Among all evaluable patients, the crude mortality was not significantly different between responders at 6 h and their counterparts. Of the 62 patients with refractory ARDS (who fulfilled extracorporeal membrane oxygenation criteria before iNO initiation), 32 (51.6%) no longer fulfilled these criteria after 6 h of iNO. The latter showed significantly lower mortality than the other half (who remained ECMO eligible), including after confounder adjustment (adjusted OR: 0.23, 95% CI 0.06, 0.89, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Our study reports the benefits of iNO in improving arterial oxygenation in C-ARDS patients. This improvement seems more relevant in the most severe cases. In patients with ECMO criteria, an iNO-driven improvement in gas exchange was associated with better survival. These results must be confirmed in well-designed prospective studies.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Experimental studies have suggested that nitrous oxide-induced analgesia depends on interactions with opioids. On the basis of these results, we hypothesized that the effects of inhaled nitrous oxide/oxygen (N 2 O/O 2 ) 50%-50% equimolar mixture (EMONO) on patients with neuropathic pain would be higher in those receiving concomitant opioids. To test this hypothesis, we did exploratory post hoc analyses of our recently published ProtoTOP study to compare the effects of EMONO and placebo in patients with or without concomitant opioid treatment. A total of 92 patients of the 221 (ie, 41.6%) included in the ProtoTOP study were concomitantly treated with opioids. In contrast with our previous analyses, average pain intensity was significantly decreased in comparison with placebo one week after the last treatment administration in patients treated with opioids, but not in those treated without opioid, and this effect was maintained over the 4-week follow-up period. Neuropathic pain symptom inventory (NPSI total and subscores) was also significantly more decreased after inhalation of EMONO in comparison with placebo only in patients receiving opioids. The proportion of patients with at least 30% pain reduction and of those reporting an overall improvement with the Patient Global Impression of Change were significantly higher only in this population of patients. In conclusion, these results complement our previous analyses with the identification of a specific population of responders to EMONO inhalation in patients with neuropathic pain. As suggested by experimental studies, we hypothesized that these long-lasting analgesic effects could depend on the anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate properties of N 2 O.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an odorless and colorless gas routinely used as an adjuvant of anesthesia and for short-duration analgesia in various clinical settings mostly in the form of an N2O/O2 50%-50% equimolar mixture (EMONO). Experimental studies have suggested that EMONO could also induce long-lasting analgesic effects related to the blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. We designed the first international multicenter proof of concept randomized, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of a 1-hour administration of EMONO or placebo (medical air) on 3 consecutive days up to 1 month after the last administration in patients with chronic peripheral neuropathic pain. A total of 240 patients were recruited in 22 centers in France and Germany and randomly assigned to 1 study group (120 per group). Average pain intensity (primary outcome), neuropathic pain characteristics (Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory), Patient Global Impression of Change, anxiety, depression, and quality of life were systematically assessed before and after treatment. The changes in average pain intensity between baseline and 7 days after the last administration were not significantly different between the 2 groups. However, evoked pain intensity (predefined secondary endpoint) and Patient Global Impression of Change (exploratory endpoint) were significantly improved in the EMONO group, and these effects were maintained up to 4 weeks after the last treatment administration. Mostly transient side effects were reported during the treatment administration. These encouraging results provide a basis for further investigation of the long-term analgesic effects of EMONO in patients with neuropathic pain.
