    Federal

    Funding Agency Grant awarded by Department of Defense /US Army Institute for Surgical Research Title Physiological Effects of Intrathoracic Pressure Regulation in Patients with Brain Injury or Intracranial Pathology. Status Active Period 9/2014 - Present Role Co-Principal Investigator Grant Detail This is a novel device that lowers the Intra cranial pressure. As the Principal Investigator of this project, I oversee the operation of this project at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. In fact, our institution is the only center in the world that is conducting this novel project for lowering the intra cranial pressure (ICP). The CirQlator Intrathoracic Pressure Regulator (ITPR) has been developed indicated to increase circulation and blood pressure in non-spontaneously breathing patients when the patient has low blood circulation, including decreased circulation of blood to the brain. When inserted within a standard respiratory circuit between the patient and a ventilation source, the ITPR generates negative pressure during the expiratory phase, thus creating subatmospheric intrathoracic pressure between the periods of positive pressure ventilations. The increase in venous return results in increased circulation to the heart and brain. The current study is intended to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of IPR therapy, in up to 30 patients with compromised cerebral circulation, in whom a functioning intracranial pressure-monitoring device is in place. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the physiological response to application of the ITPR in patients with compromised cerebral circulation. The study hypothesis is that the physiological effects of the ITPR will improve cerebral circulation, without negative impact on other physiologic parameters and without significant pulmonary or cardiac adverse events, in patients with brain injury or intracranial pathology. This Grant is supporting for salary of a research associate at UTHSCSA ( $25,000 for %25 of time ) and so far we enrolled 2 patients in this study successfully.

    Private

    Funding Agency Sāfen Medical Title Expediency and accuracy of identifying the ?resuscitation line? using a visual-tactile marker in a critical care setting Status Complete Period 1/2019 - 4/2019 Role Principal Investigator Grant Detail The primary goal of this study was to compare the accuracy and time to deliver IV drug boluses, using a conventional IV infusion set versus an investigative infusion set, to a simulated complex critical care patient in a critical care environment. For this project, the investigative IV infusion set used the Sāfen (Sāfen Medical, Star Luminal, LLC, San Antonio, TX) `GoTo Tag? to compare medication delivery to a conventional IV line labeled with tape. This study also included an exit survey that inquired about the participant?s confidence in identifying the resuscitation line when using the `GoTo Tag? product versus the tape labeled IVs.
