- Asthma:
PHASE II, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED STUDY TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF MN-221 WHEN ADMINISTERED INTRAVENOUSLY AS AN ADJUNCT TO STANDARD THERAPY TO ADULTS WITH AN ACUTE EXACERBATION OF ASTHMA (Protocol MN-221-CL-007)
(2_20090707_118)
This study is for patients presenting to the ED for assessment and treatment of an acute exacerbation of asthma. Once patients receive standard treatment of their asthma, they will be assessed for their response to the treatment. If the patient’s response is adequate; and they meet other eligibility criteria, they will be asked to join the study. The study treatment time will be about 5 hours. Participants will receive the study drug MN-221 or placebo which will be administered through a continuous infusion. The participants will continue during this time to receive standard treatments. There will be a 24 hour follow-up visit for safety evaluations.

CPR ANYTIME™ PHYSICIAN RX PROGRAM (Investigator Initiated Protocol)(2_20070910_118)
Participants will be randomized to one of two groups. One group will be advised to take a traditional CPR class and be offered a list of local classes. The other group will be asked to fill a CPR Anytime™ prescription and complete the program on their own and encouraged to include other friends and family members to participate. Both groups will receive a follow-up phone survey at approximately three months to assess their participation or compliance with physician recommendations to fill the prescription, as well as actual completion of the materials, and possible multiplier effect.

CPR TRAINING IN 7TH GRADE STUDENTS (Investigator Initiated Protocol)(2_20070909_118)
Two local schools in the Lehigh Valley will be taking part in this study and an educational assembly. Identification of prospective participants will be those students and their parents attending the participating schools who are in the 7th grade. Students and parents will be invited to attend a planned educational assembly on issues related to heart health that will be held at the participating schools. Recruitment for participation in the study will take place at the conclusion of the educational portion of the assembly. For those potential participants unable to attend the assembly, consent and assent forms will be sent home with the student, along with a description of the study and an explanation of the assent/consent process. The potential participants will be encouraged to contact a study team member should they have any questions relating to the study or assent/consent process.
- CPR:
Study Closed to Accrual:
TRAINING MOTHERS OF INFANTS IN INFANT CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) USING A 22-MINUTE INSTRUCTIONAL DVD AND INFANT MANIKIN (Investigator Initiated Protocol)
(2_20070911_118)
This research will be a prospective, cohort study to determine if mothers of infants/newborns are more willing to complete CPR training using a 22-minute instructional DVD and infant manikin versus traditional four hour didactic instruction.
- E.D. Education Study -
EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP OF ACCURATE ESI TRIAGE SCORES TO EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT NURSING ATTITUTES AND EXPERIENCE (Investigator Initiated Protocol)
(1_20080314_118)
This study is NOT for hospital patients. This study is for the recruitment of Emergency Department nurses, not for patients of the hospital or affiliated doctors. This is a research study involving nurses in the three Emergency Departments of Lehigh Valley hospital and Health Network to examine how the triage process is handled by different nurses. This study will attempt to measure ED nurses’ attitudes and experience in relation to how they affect ESI© triage scoring. A letter of invitation will be sent to all eligible nurses.
- Emergency Vascular Access -
A RANDOMIZED STUDY OF THE EZ-IO® COMPARED TO CENTRAL VENOUS LINES USED FOR EMERGENCY VASCULAR ACCESS
(1_20080506_118)
This study will enroll participants needing a central venous catheter to give fluids and medications to help stabilize their condition in the emergency department. Participants will be randomized to have either a Central Venous Catheter or Intraosseous Catheter placed in the Emergency Room.
- In Hospital Education Only -
Comprehensive Evaluation of a Central Line Simulation Course
(1_20090107_118)
Select Lehigh Valley Hospital Clinicians will be asked to provide information related to attitudes, knowledge and compliance of the central line bundle implemented by the hospital thru focus group participation and standard central line education course evaluation.
- MI ALERT 3 EDUCATION (Investigator Initiated Protocol)
(2_20081211_118)
This is a retrospective cohort study utilizing data collected as part of an education initiative in preparation for the initiation and conduction of the “MI Alert3”, which was initiated October 17, 2007 at the CC site. This MI Alert 3 process is an extension of the MI Alert process, which was initiated in April 2000 and continues at the CC site.
- VALIDATION OF A DATA INTEGRATOR AS A RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
(1_20080701_118)
This study will abstract data from patient charts and compare it to information already existing electronically to compare the data for accuracy.
- Vertigo:
A RANDOMIZED TRIAL TO EVALUATE RESOLUTION OF SYMPTOMS USING THE VESTIBULAR REHAB VERSUS CONVENTIONAL THERAPY IN PATIENTS PRESENTING TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED) WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITIONAL VERTIGO (BPPV) (Investigator Initiated Protocol)
(2_20060106_118)
This study is for patients presenting to the emergency department and being diagnoses with benign paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, known as BPPV. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups. The one group will receive standard treatment of medications to alleviate their symptoms; and the second group will receive treatment with an Epley maneuver (which involves a series of head movements). Patients admitted to the ED between 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday will be approached for inclusion in this trial.
