Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study aims to evaluate the role of Ultrasonography in the diagnosis of the cause of acute abdominal pain in 50 adults presenting in the ER at Sohag University Hospital and compares it to the Computed Tomography scan results of the same patients to discover the superiority of both over the other in the diagnosis of different acute abdomen cases.

NCT ID: NCT06182488 Recruiting - Acute Abdomen Clinical Trials

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in Patients Undergoing Emergency Laparotomy

ERAS
Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and effectiveness of the ERAS protocols compared to a conventional care protocols in patients who received emergency laparotomy. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can the ERAS protocols be used safely and effectively in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy? Participants will be randomised into the ERAS group and the conventional group and will be given the ERAS protocols and the conventional protocols in the perioperative period. Researchers will compare the ERAS group with the conventional group to see if the ERAS programme is effective.

NCT ID: NCT05910567 Recruiting - Wounds and Injuries Clinical Trials

A Research Study of Abdominal Ultrasound (FAST) in Children With Blunt Torso Trauma

FAST
Start date: April 17, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Bleeding from intra-abdominal injuries is a leading cause of traumatic deaths in children. Abdominal CT is the reference standard test for diagnosing intra-abdominal injuries. Compelling reasons exist, however, to both aggressively evaluate injured children for intra-abdominal injuries with CT and to limit abdominal CT evaluation to solely those at non-negligible risk. The focused assessment sonography for trauma (FAST) examination can help focus patient evaluation in just this manner by potentially safely decreasing abdominal CT use in low risk children. This research study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial to determine whether use of the FAST examination, a bedside abdominal ultrasound, impacts care in 3,194 hemodynamically stable children with blunt abdominal trauma. The overall objectives of this proposal are 1) to determine the efficacy of using the FAST examination during the initial evaluation of children with blunt abdominal trauma, and 2) to identify factors associated with abdominal CT use in children considered very low risk for IAI after a negative FAST examination. The long-term objective of the research is to determine appropriate evaluation strategies to optimize the care of injured children, leading to improved quality of care and a reduction in morbidity and mortality.

NCT ID: NCT05670561 Recruiting - Pain Clinical Trials

Effects of Esketamine on Acute Abdominal Pain After TACE in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Start date: January 5, 2023
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Pain is the main complication after TACE(Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization) for hepatocellular carcinoma, and its pathogenesis is not clear.The pain may be related to partial liver tissue swelling after blocking the tumor blood supply artery embolization agent, transient hepatic swelling causing tension or strain on the liver capsule, and chemical irritation by the anticancer drug-Lipiodol mixture,the inadvertent embolization of normal organs and individual sensitivity to pain. Ketamine produces anesthetic and analgesic effects mainly by inhibiting NMDA receptor(N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor), and previous studies have shown that low concentrations of ketamine have obvious analgesic effects. Not only that, ketamine also produces analgesic effects by inhibiting opioid receptors via G-protein coupling. In addition, ketamine can bind to monoaminergic receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system, showing an anticholinergic effect and producing an antispasmodic effect. Ketamine also inhibits inflammatory pain by reducing nitric oxide production by inhibiting nitric oxide synthase. Esketamine is about three to four times more potent than ketamine. Therefore,esketamine requires a lower dose, about half the dose of ketamine, to produce anesthetic and analgesic effects, with fewer side effects.

NCT ID: NCT04602429 Recruiting - Surgery Clinical Trials

Children's Acute Surgical Abdomen Programme

CASAP
Start date: September 30, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To describe the type and quality of care being delivered to children (aged 1 - 16 years old) undergoing emergency abdominal surgery in the United Kingdom by measuring baseline compliance against evidence-based recommendations and identifying variations in care between individual hospitals.

NCT ID: NCT04196244 Recruiting - Acute Abdomen Clinical Trials

Intravenous Contrast Computed Tomography Versus Native Computed Tomography in Patients With Acute Abdomen and Impaired Renal Function

INCARO
Start date: September 18, 2020
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Computer tomography (CT) is the primary imaging option for acute abdominal pain in adults. Intravenous (IV) contrast media is used to improve the CT quality. In patients with impaired renal function, post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) has remained a significant concern. Modern retrospective studies have shown no association between worsened baseline renal function and IV-contrast CT. However, no randomised controlled trial has been done to conclude this. The INCARO (INtravenous Contrast computed tomography versus native computed tomography in patients with acute Abdomen and impaired Renal functiOn) trial is a multicentre, open-label, parallel group, superiority, individually randomised controlled trial comparing IV-contrast enhanced CT to native CT in patients with impaired renal function. Patients requiring emergency abdominal or body CT with eGFR 15-45 ml/min/1.73 m2 are included in the study. The primary outcome is a composite outcome of all-cause mortality or renal replacement therapy within 90 days from CT.

NCT ID: NCT03309423 Recruiting - Sepsis Clinical Trials

Is Venous to Arterial Conversion (v-TAC) of Blood Gas Reliable in Critical Ill Patients in the ICU?

Start date: October 9, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Objective: Arterial blood gas (ABG) is essential in the clinical assessment of potential acutely ill patients venous to arterial conversion (v-TAC), a mathematical method, has recently been developed to convert peripheral venous blood gas (VBG) values to arterialized VBG (aVBG) values. The aim of this study is to test the reliability of aVBG compared to ABG in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Method: Consecutive patients admitted to the ICU with pH values <7,35 or >7,45 are included in this study. Paired ABG and aVBG samples are drawn from patients via arterial catheter, central venous catheter and/or peripheral venous catheter and compared.

NCT ID: NCT03198065 Recruiting - Acute Appendicitis Clinical Trials

Single-incision Laparoscopic Surgery in Acute Abdomen

Start date: June 17, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Since Semm et.al. reported the first case of laparoscopic appendectomy in 1983, minimally invasive surgery has become the main stay for treating of many surgical diseases. After the booming in the advancement of surgical instrument and breakthrough in surgical skills, the minimally invasive surgery has been widely applied to neurosurgery, spinal surgery, breast, thyroid, hernia surgery, etc. It has been proved that minimally invasive surgery is safe and effective, and further it achieves compatible results and outcomes in oncology and functional diseases. Minimally invasive surgery in alimentary tract, known as laparoscopic surgery, has been performed in gastric surgery (e.g. gastric cancer, tumor, functional disorders and bariatric surgery), hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery (e.g. hepatectomy, cholecystectomy, and pancreatectomy), and colorectal surgery (e.g. colorectal cancer and functional bowel disease). Under a superior heritage of surgical skills from Taiwan university hospital, we introduced laparoscopic surgery in 1996 and currently, laparoscopic surgery becomes the mainstay of surgery in Yunlin branch. In 2015, there were 600 laparoscopic surgery in our hospital, while 150 colorectal laparoscopic surgery in the same year. In recent years, single-incisional laparoscopic surgery has emerged to become one of the focused topic in the world and seemly in our department. Through single-incision surgery, we attempted to minimize the incision wound to achieve better cosmesis and faster recovery. By the valuable clinical experiences gathering in our hospital (Yunlin branch) in recent 10 years, we contemplate two-step plans: first, by retrospective data collection, we can explain the clinical problems based on current statistical results. Second, based on prior (step 1) retrospective findings, a prospective study could be conducted for more evident results.

NCT ID: NCT03015233 Recruiting - Renal Colic Clinical Trials

Acute Abdominal Pain: Evaluation of Lactate Value as Predictive Factor of Surgical Issue

GALAC
Start date: June 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Abdominal pain is one of the most common reasons for consultation in Emergency Departments (ED) worldwide. The challenge for physicians is to not misdiagnose a surgical emergency. The actual gold standard for diagnosis is computed tomography (CT). However with this procedure there is high radiation exposure and a risk factor of radiation-induced cancers, therefore alternative diagnostic techniques should be considered. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of measuring venous lactate in patients presenting with acute abdominal pain in ED. In this single-center, prospective, non-interventional study, the diagnostic accuracy of venous lactate in order to detect surgical emergencies is evaluated. The hypothesis made here is that venous lactatemia is a positive predictive factor of surgical emergencies in patients with acute abdominal pain.
