Randomized Controlled TrialA randomized controlled trial of 2 protocols for weaning cardiac surgical patients receiving adaptive support ventilation.
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of weaning with adaptive support ventilation (ASV) incorporating progressively reduced or constant target minute ventilation in the protocol in postoperative care after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Use of a DTMV protocol for postoperative ventilation of cardiac surgical patients in ASV mode results in a shorter duration of ventilation and intubation without evidence of increased risk of adverse effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Pragmatic Clinical Trial
Telehealth for patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease: pragmatic randomised controlled trial.
To assess whether non-clinical staff can effectively manage people at high risk of cardiovascular disease using digital health technologies. ⋯ This evidence based telehealth approach was associated with small clinical benefits for a minority of people with high cardiovascular risk, and there was no overall improvement in average risk. The Healthlines service was, however, associated with improvements in some risk behaviours, and in perceptions of support and access to care.Trial registration Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN 27508731.
