Medizinscher Fortschritt erfordert eine enge Verzahnung von Wissenschaft und ärztlicher Kunst. Lungenerkrankungen nehmen weltweit zu. Die betroffenen Menschen leiden unter starker Luftnot und die Erkrankungen verkürzen die verbleibende Lebenszeit. Neue therapeutische Ansätze sind dringend notwendig. An vielen deutschen Universitäten ist die Pneumologie jedoch nicht vertreten, dies steht dem wissenschaftlichem Fortschritt und damit der Entwicklung neuer Therapieansätze entgegen. Um den Patienten gerecht zu werden stellen die KEM sich dieser Aufgabe und haben eine wissenschaftliche Abteilung für Pneumologie gegründet. Es werden laufend Studien im Bereich der Schlaf- und Beatmungsmedizin durchgeführt. Zum Teil erfolgen diese Untersuchungen gemeinsam mit weltweiten Partner und international tätigen Unternehmen, da nur so Fortschritte zum Wohl der Patienten erzielt werden können.

Hohe ethische Standards stellen die Basis jeder Wissenschaft dar. Die von uns durchgeführten Studien werden durch die Ethik-Kommission der Universität Witten Herdecke streng geprüft.

Studiennummer: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05287555

Studientitel: Efficacy of Telemetry-assisted Care in Home Vented COPD (TeleInterVENT)

[Randomisiert-kontrollierte klinische Studie an häuslich beatmeten COPD-Patienten zur Überprüfung der Wirksamkeit einer telemetrisch unterstützten Fernbetreuung durch das Beatmungszentrum im Vergleich zur stationären, halbjährlichen Beatmungskontrolle gemäß Leitlinie]

Studieninhalt: In dieser Studie an Patienten mit chronisch obstruktiver Lungenerkrankung (COPD) soll untersucht werden, ob die telemedizinische Überwachung ihres nicht invasiven Beatmungsgeräts (NIV) in Verbindung mit einer gezielten, bedarfsgerechten Intervention bei zunehmenden Symptomen oder Auffälligkeiten in der Beatmung die Therapietreue und die Effizienz verbessern und die Notwendigkeit von Krankenhausaufenthalten verringern kann.

Studientitel: Comparison of water sorption capacity and the composition of bronchial fluids of healthy persons and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Studieninhalt: This pilot study is basic research on the properties of bronchial mucus. Aim of the study is to examine the sorption and desorption properties, the mucin concentration, and the structure of the mucus from healthy airways and patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
