NCT ID: NCT06160778 Not yet recruiting - Acute Pain Clinical Trials

Intravenous Ketorolac Vs. Morphine In Children With Acute Abdominal Pain

KETOAPP
Start date: January 2024
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Appendicitis is a common condition in children 6-17 years of age, and the top reason for emergency surgery in Canada. Children with appendicitis can have very bad pain in their belly. Children often need pain medications given to them through a needle in their arm called an intravenous (IV). The most common IV pain medication is a type of opioid called morphine. We know that opioids work well to improve pain, but there are risks and side effects when taking them. There are non-opioid medications that doctors can give to patients, like ketorolac. Ketorolac helps decrease inflammation and pain and has fewer side effects when a patient takes it for a short period of time. Our past and present overuse of opioids, driven by an unproven assumption that opioids work best for pain, resulted in an Opioid Crisis and doctors are now looking for alternatives. To do this, we need to prove that there are other options to treat children's pain that are just as good as opioids, with less side effects. The goal of our study is to discover if school aged children who arrive at the emergency department with belly pain, improve just as much with ketorolac as they do with morphine. To answer this question, we will need a very large number of patients in a study that includes several hospitals across Canada. With a flip of a coin, each participant will either get a single dose of morphine or a single dose of ketorolac. To make sure that our pain assessment is impartial, no one will know which medicine the child received except the pharmacist who prepared the medicine.

NCT ID: NCT06008509 Not yet recruiting - Gastric Emptying Clinical Trials

POCUS for Gastric Emptying in Emergency Surgery

EcoGastric
Start date: August 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the gastric emptying in adult patients that are going to operatin theatre due to an abdominal acute disease, for instance, intestinal obstruction or cholecystitis. This kind of patients are traditionally considered as a full stomach and the induction of anesthesia include rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in order to decrease the risk of aspiration . However, image technologies, like echography, allow the visualization of the stomach and to measure the amount and characteristics of the content lodged in the stomach. This information is vital to decide if RSI is necesary or not. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the percentages of full stomach in patient who come to the operating room due an abodiminal acute disease? - Are different variables, namely, time since diagnosis, use of antibiotics or non steroidal antiinflamatory drugs related with the content of the stomach? Participants will be evaluated with ecography to determinate the amount of content of the stomach before the surgery in the operating room.

NCT ID: NCT05407922 Not yet recruiting - Pregnancy Related Clinical Trials

Laparoscopic Value in the Management of Acute Abdomen During Pregnancy

Start date: June 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The term "acute abdomen" is often used to describe the manifestations of any serious intraperitoneal disease, which may indicates surgical intervention. Acute abdomen in pregnancy accounts for approximately 7-10% of all abdominal emergencies. Several pathologies could contribute acute abdominal pain during pregnancy. They include obstetric and non-obstetric causes. As for the non-obstetric causes , any gastrointestinal or urological disorders could be presented by an acute abdominal pain. In pregnancy, several factors overlap and making the diagnosis challenging. These factors include the distorted anatomy by the growing uterus that displaces intraperitoneal structures. Additionally, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain are considered the normal course during pregnancy especially at the first trimester. Moreover, sure diagnosis must be achieved to operate in a pregnant woman with more possible morbidity and mortality for the mother and\or fetus.

NCT ID: NCT04584060 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Patient Undergoing Urgent GIT Surgery

Conventional VS Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocols in Emergency GIT Surgery

Start date: December 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Although the ERAS program is widely used in elective procedures in many surgical subspecialties, the place of this program in emergency surgery remains uncertain probably because of the significant challenges in applying all ERAS pathways in the emergency setting. Nevertheless, the ERAS program is often modified in elective procedures on an individual and/ or institutional basis and thus may also have a role in the emergency setting albeit in a modified form.

NCT ID: NCT04577339 Not yet recruiting - Peritonitis Clinical Trials

The Best Care for Abdominal Emergencies Study

BCAE
Start date: December 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a single-centre retrospective cohort study utilising electronic hospital records. The aim of this study is to improve care for all patients with an intestinal emergency, irrespective of whether they have surgery or not. Data will be derived from electronic patient records collected as part of routine clinical patient care on all general adult wards (excluding maternity) between 2013 and 2020. We will then identify patients who had an emergency laparotomy, and those who had a laparoscopic procedure. We aim to identify 2 further groups where treatment is non-surgical (but could be medical or interventional radiology) or where treatment is considered futile, suggesting that an early focus on end of life care might be appropriate. The primary objective is to provide mortality rates for different treatment options, and analysis of short- and long-term outcomes. The secondary endpoints are to define patient sub-groups with similar health characteristics based on clinical data and an established risk index and to use statistical analysis to predict the risk of death for each patient group and treatment option, which will allow us to identify the best care pathways for each cluster.

NCT ID: NCT04480983 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Acute Abdomen in Children

Role of Multidetector Computerized Tomography (MDCT) in Diagnosis of Non Traumatic Acute Abdomen in Pediatric Age Group.

Start date: December 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To evaluate the role of MDCT in diagnosis of non traumatic causes of acute abdomen in pediatric patients with clinical and surgical correlation.

NCT ID: NCT03259048 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Ultra Sound in Diagnosis of Acute Abdomen in Pediatric Group

Role of Ultrasound in Diagnosis of Acute Abdomen in Pediatric Group

Start date: October 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Acute abdomen can be defined as "A syndrome induced by wide variety of pathological conditions that require emergent medical or more often surgical management" [1].There are a plethora of causes that can lead to acute abdomen in children, they vary depending on the ages of the children and can be divided into diseases that can be treated with medical care and those in which emergency surgical intervention must be considered [2]. Ultrasonography is the initial choice in the diagnosis of the different causes of acute abdomen in children [3, 4]. It is very useful as it is non-invasive, cost- effective, repetitive, with no radiation exposure, as good as laparoscopy, can be done even in patients with scarred abdomen [5].
