Official title
Integration and Application Demonstration of Key Diagnosis and Treatment Technologies for Severe Acute High Altitude Disease
Overview
This study aims to establish a key technical system for the diagnosis and treatment of severe acute mountain sickness based on real-world clinical data in Xizang, develop standardized diagnosis and treatment protocols and an intelligent early warning model, validate its efficacy through multicenter studies, and innovate diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. It will achieve early identification, precise diagnosis, standardized treatment, and intelligent warning of severe acute mountain sickness, comprehensively improving its prevention, control and treatment success rate.
Interventions
- Device Multicenter study of HAPE:CPAP or BiPAP Group
Traditional treatment plus CPAP or BiPAP - Drug Multicenter study of HAPE group:NO Group
Traditional treatment plus inhaled nitric oxide therapy (20-40 ppm, continuous administration for 12-24 hours) - Other Protocol for Proteomics and Peptidomics Study of HAPE:Case Group
40 patients clinically diagnosed with HAPE. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected during the acute onset stage and prior to any effective intervention.
Primary outcome measures
- HAPE:Recovery [Time frame: From date of disease onset to achievement of recovery criteria ,assessed up to 36 months]
- HACE :recovery [Time frame: From date of disease onset to achievement of recovery criteria ,assessed up to 36 months]
- Death [Time frame: From admission to discharge, or all-cause mortality within 30 days and 90 days after discharge.]
- Length of hospital stay [Time frame: The total duration from the first day of hospitalization to recovery and discharge, assessed up to 36 months]
Secondary outcome measures (9)
- HAPE:Improvement [Time frame: At discharge(assessed up to 5 days)]
- Length of ICU/CCU stay [Time frame: From date of the first day admimion in the ICU until the last day in the ICU, up to 48 weeks.]
- Duration of mechanical ventilation [Time frame: From the date of the first day of mechanical ventilation until the last day of mechanical ventilation,up to 48 weeks.]
- Total hospitalization cost (CNY) [Time frame: At discharge(assessed up to 5 days)]
- Time to independence from oxygen therapy (days) [Time frame: At discharge(assessed up to 5 days)]
- HAPE:incidence of complications [Time frame: From date of admission until the date of discharge, and within 30 days and 90 days after discharge,up to 48 weeks.]
- HACE:improved [Time frame: At discharge(assessed up to 5 days)]
- HACE:Incidence of complications [Time frame: From date of admission until the date of discharge, and within 30 days and 90 days after discharge,up to 48 weeks.]
- HACE:Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days [Time frame: From the first day of admission to 90 days thereafter]
