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.

Global Outcomes After Laparotomy for Trauma

GOAL-Trauma
Start date: April 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to assessing the global variation in patient characteristics, management, and outcomes in those undergoing trauma laparotomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the post-operative mortality rates for patients undergoing a trauma laparotomy globally - What are the epidemiological characteristics (demographics, injury characteristics, baseline clinical characteristics, and surgical case mix) for patients undergoing a trauma laparotomy - What are the pre-operative, peri-operative, and post-operative processes of care for patients undergoing a trauma laparotomy This is a purely observational study on patients undergoing trauma laparotomy, with no direct change to clinical care.

NCT ID: NCT06065202 Recruiting - Abdominal Trauma Clinical Trials

Personalized Nutrition to Improve Recovery in Trauma

SeND Home
Start date: April 12, 2024
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if a particular method of providing nutrition improves the outcomes of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have undergone abdominal surgery following trauma and would require nutrition delivered via the bloodstream (called total parenteral nutrition or TPN). The nutrition method being tested is a structured nutrition delivery plan, called the SeND Home pathway, that involves TPN, oral nutrition supplements, and the use of a device (called an indirect calorimeter or IC) to measure calorie needs. Participants will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to the SeND Home program or standard of care nutrition. In the SeND Home program, participants will receive TPN, followed by oral nutrition supplements (shakes) for 4 weeks after discharge. The control group will follow standard of care nutrition delivery that begins during ICU stay and concludes at hospital discharge. Participants in both groups will undergo non-invasive tests that measure how much energy (calories) they are using, body composition, and muscle mass and complete walking and strength tests, and surveys about quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT05627908 Recruiting - Abdominal Trauma Clinical Trials

The PseAn Study - Study Protocol

PseAn
Start date: October 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The researchers aim to study the role of contrast ultrasound in detecting post-traumatic splenic, hepatic, and renal PAs compared with the gold standard of CT with intravenous contrast at different follow-up time points, and whether it can replace CT scan in the follow-up of solid organ injuries

NCT ID: NCT05538390 Completed - Abdominal Trauma Clinical Trials

Assessment of Pattern of Abdominal Injury

Start date: September 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This hospital-based cross-sectional study was done at SPHMMC and AaBET hospitals from January 2018 to December 2019.The study aimed to assess the pattern of abdominal injury at St Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) and Addis Ababa Burn, Emergency and Trauma (AaBET) hospital, Addis Ababa Ethiopia.Data was collected from the trauma registry and patient files using a pretested structured questionnaire filled out by two trained data collectors.The collected data was entered and analyzed using statistical software SPSS version 25.0.

NCT ID: NCT05127109 Recruiting - Surgery Clinical Trials

The PASTDUe Nutrition Ecosystem Project (PASTDUe)

PASTDUe
Start date: April 25, 2022
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This is a research study to determine if a particular method of providing nutrition improves the clinical outcomes of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have undergone abdominal surgery and would require nutrition delivered via the bloodstream (called total parenteral nutrition or TPN). The nutrition method we are testing is a structured nutrition delivery plan that involves tube feeding, oral nutrition supplements, and the use of a device (called an indirect calorimeter or IC) to measure calorie needs. This study will also use two devices to measure fat and muscle mass to examine changes during hospitalization. Subjects will be followed throughout hospitalization where nutrition status and fat and muscle mass will be closely monitored. Study activities will begin within 72 hours of a patient's abdominal surgery. TPN (total parenteral nutrition, a method of feeding that bypasses the usual process of eating and digestion) will be started, a non-invasive method of assessing calorie needs (indirect calorimetry (IC)) will be started, a urine sample will be collected to help assist in protein needs, and fat/muscle mass will be measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and an ultrasound. This is a minimal risk study and all products/devices used are non-invasive and FDA-approved. Indirect calorimetry and urine sample collection will be conducted every 3 days during the stay in the Intensive Care Unit - ICU, then every 5 days until hospital discharge. BIA and muscle ultrasound will be conducted every 7 days during ICU stay, then every 14 days until hospital discharge.

NCT ID: NCT05025449 Completed - Abdominal Trauma Clinical Trials

BEFAST (Bubble-Enhanced FAST) for the Evaluation of Solid Organ Injury

BEFAST
Start date: September 30, 2021
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) exam is widely used and accepted as part of advanced trauma life support (ATLS) protocol, but its low sensitivity for identifying solid organ injury in the absence of hemoperitoneum is a significant limitation. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has the potential to significantly enhance the evaluation of the trauma patient with acute intra-abdominal injury through the use of intravascular microbubbles that allow direct visualization of lacerations to solid organs. European studies have demonstrated that ultrasound contrast markedly improves the sensitivity of ultrasound in detecting solid organ injury, when the exam is performed in the radiology suite. The researchers hypothesize that the bubble-enhanced FAST or BEFAST exam will be more sensitive than traditional FAST for identification of solid organ injury in hemodynamically stable blunt abdominal trauma patients when performed by emergency providers.

NCT ID: NCT03952026 Completed - Polytrauma Clinical Trials

Impact of Associated Abdominal Injuries on Clinical and Operative Outcome in Pelvic Injuries

Start date: December 6, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Pelvic fractures are severe injuries which require advanced orthopedic surgical skills to treat. On the other hand, abdominal injuries are severe injuries, which might require quick general surgical treatment. The combination of both injuries is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons, as the abdominal injury might lead to a delayed surgical treatment of the pelvic fracture. Whether an associated abdominal injury influences the quality of care of pelvic fractures, is aim of this registry study.

NCT ID: NCT03815370 Recruiting - Peritonitis Clinical Trials

A Non-Traumatic Binder for Temporary Abdominal Wall Closure

ABRO
Start date: April 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

At the end of most abdominal operations, the fascial layer is closed by stitching edges of the wound together. However, because of logistic and/or technical reasons or the patient's critical condition, the surgeon is forced to leave the abdomen open. The current approach for temporary coverage of abdomen is vacuum assisted techniques (VAT). This technique requires the use of vacuum-assisted drainage to remove blood or watery fluid from a wound or operative site. Although this is the most successful and commonly used procedure, there are some limitations to this method. For example, VAT have little effect on preventing lateral movement of the wound edges. Therefore, VAT it is not the ideal procedure in aiding surgeons to closed the abdomen. The purpose of this study is to compare usual care (vacuum or non-vacuum methods for temporary coverage of the OA) versus usual care plus a novel new abdominal binder device called ABRO™ that may aid in the closure of patients who undergo open abdomen closure procedures.
