Filter by:We are planning to measure hemodynamic parameters (Heart Rate, Mean Arterial Pressure, Stroke Volume Index, Stroke Volume Variation, and Pulse Pressure Variation) and ventilatory parameters at four times (T1, T2,T3, and T4) during spinal operation at prone position. First measurement (T1, First baseline) will be performed in the prone position after performing tracheal intubation and confirming hemodynamic stability (defined as mean arterial pressure <10% for 3 minutes). After the T1 measurement, additional 5 cmH2O PEEP (Positive end-expiratory pressure) will be applied for 30 seconds which will be called as "short term low PEEP challenge (SLPC)". At the end of the SLPC and prior to PEEP lowering, T2 measurement will be performed and recorded. After the T2 measurement, PEEP will be decreased to the initial value (5 cmH2O) and three minutes later, a second baseline (T3) measurement will be performed. Thereafter, 500 ml isotonic saline will be loaded in 10 minutes. T4 measurement will be performed again three minutes after volume loading. All of the measurements will be completed before surgery start and surgical stimulus. Patients exhibiting an increase in stroke volume index more than 15% after fluid loading (between T3 and T4) will be classified as volume responders. Absolute pulse pressure variation change due to SLPC, Absolute Stroke volume variation change due to SLPC, stroke volume index percentage change due to SLPC, and stroke volume index percentage change after fluid loading will be calculated and compared. Our aim is to observe if short term low PEEP challenge has the ability to predict fluid responsiveness better than pulse pressure variation and stroke volume variation for patients operated in prone position.
The research will be conducted between March 2021 and June 2023. All patients scheduled electively for one of four surgeries (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, Submucosal resection, Breast lumpectomy, and median laparotomy) at that period of time at An-Najah National University hospital will be included in the research sample, unless not meeting with the criteria put. Primary objectives are: To evaluate the effectiveness of preemptive analgesia on postoperative pain relief and shorter hospital stay for adults undergoing surgical procedures, according to the type of surgery and the type of drug. To compare the effect of a single oral preemptive dose of Pregabalin versus Oxycodone on postoperative pain relief, in terms of pain intensity as assessed by pain numeric rating scale (NRS)
This study evaluates the influence of individualized lung-protective ventilation strategy(LPVS) on postoperative pulmonary complications(PPCs) through a randomized controlled trial when children undergoing thoracoscopic surgery with one-lung ventilation(OLV).The investigators evaluate the impact of using lung dynamic compliance-guided Positive End-expiratory Pressure(PEEP) versus conventional PEEP on a pressure-controlled ventilation(PCV).The researchers also analyzed perioperative vital signs and respiratory indicators of these LPVS.
To develop a ranked list of up to 20 metrics, which can be used to evaluate the quality of anesthesia, perioperative care, and acute pain management for adult inpatient non-cardiac surgical patients for use in quality improvement and quality assurance, research, and continuing medical education in the Canadian care context.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hemodynamics and adverse event profile in comparison between two treatment arms, one using an admixture of propofol and etomidate at a ratio by volume of 25%/75% (P2E7), and one using an admixture of propofol and etomidate at a ratio by volume of 75%/25% (P7E2), for anesthesia during endoscopic procedures at the Clements University Hospital (CUH) endoscopy lab (Endo).
Cervical plexus blocks are regional methods used in carotid endarterectomy. Cervical plexus blocks consist of three blocks: superficial, intermediate and deep. These three blocks can be used alone or combined. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided intermediate and deed cervical plexus block in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.
This is a prospective survey study of patients 12-21 years undergoing anesthetic care. The primary objective is to determine the incidence of illicit substance use and abuse prior to anesthetic care. The secondary objective is to determine the illicit substances used and their frequency in patients presenting for anesthetic care.
Background: Spinal anesthesia (SA) is preferred over general anesthesia in Cesarean section (CS) due to its better safety profile but SA induced hypotension remains a big challenge for the clinical Anesthetist. Different methods including 15° left lateral table tilt, leftward uterine manual displacement, fluid pre-and co-loading have been used but drop in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) jeopardizing maternal and fetal well-being still occurs. Timely administered Phenylephrine HCL, an α-1 adrenergic agonist, is a recommended remedy. Subjects and methods: Sixty parturients of American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1 and 2, scheduled for elective CS under SA were enrolled in this prospective double-blinded study and randomly divided into two equal groups, P4 and P8. They received intramuscular (IM) Phenylephrine HCL 04 mg and 08 mg respectively before SA. Spinal block up to T6 was achieved with 12.5 mg 0.5% Bupivacaine HCl heavy. The incidence and intensity of hypotension, rescue doses of Phenylephrine HCL and any adverse event, were recorded. Data collected was analyzed using Epi lnfo ™ version 7.2.
To evaluate the feasibility of a pragmatic, large scale, comparative effectiveness, randomized evaluation of patient experience of intravenous propofol versus inhaled volatile anesthesia.
The overall objective of this study is to describe the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients with a positive and negative AIR-test result. Second, the investigators wish to describe the incidence of a positive AIR-test and its association with the development of PPC. In addition, the investigators aim to describe whether mechanical ventilation strategy differs between patients with a positive and negative AIR-test.
