Filter by:This study uses a single questionnaire to evaluate two separate primary outcomes: 1. To identify association between chronic headache in women who have given birth to children as compared to a control group of women who have raised children but have not given birth to them 2. To identify association between chronic back pain in women who have given birth to children as compared to a control group of women who have raised children but have not given birth to them
A comparison of post-operative opioid use in laparoscopic bariatric surgery patients receiving opioid or opioid-free anesthesia.
The aim of this study is to determine the possible anxiety reducing effects of lavender oil and orange oil on parents with children receiving dental care under sedation during perioperative wait.
The balanced anesthesia process contains three main parts: the control of hypnosis, analgesia, and neuromuscular blockade. For the induction phase, the anesthesiologist performs protocols based on prior planning specific to each patient and usually performs these controls by monitoring the classic vital signs and other clinical signs for the maintenance phase. In a way, this professional is the controller in a control system that acts on the plant (the patient) through the infusion of hypnotic drugs, analgesics and neuromuscular blockers. In addition, the anesthesiologist estimates the state of consciousness, the level of analgesia and the level of neuromuscular blockage through other indirect measures, as well as a state observer. There are different techniques for direct monitoring of these three anesthesia variables (DoA, NMB and NoL), such as BIS and Narcotrend, but all have some disadvantages, especially when the anesthesia process combines different drugs. This work proposes a new way of evaluating DoA, NMB and NoL using data fusion techniques to combine classical clinical signs with advanced EEG monitoring techniques to provide a decision support system for the anesthesiologist.
Pre-anesthesia assessment is an important part of anesthesiologists daily routine. A thorough assessment leads to an impeccable anesthesia plan. In the past, the department of anesthesiologist in NTUH (National Taiwan University Hospital) utilizes paper assessment form. As government policy leans towards digitization, the department of anesthesiologist in NTUH collaborates with the information technology office to develop an electronic pre-anesthesia assessment system called EVAN, which is an iOS based application (App). EVAN includes an anesthesia patient list, patient EMR (electronic medical record) and pre-anesthesia assessment form. EVAN was online since March, 2018. This is an observational research to investigate the user experience and improve the user interface of EVAN. This research subjects include anesthesiologists from NTUH. This research has three parts: user tasks, questionnaires, and a semi-structured interview. First, the research assistant will record how the user use the App to complete the tasks, which includes video recording and App monitoring. After the tasks is completed, the subject will write a questionnaire. Then the principal investigator will give an interview for feedbacks from the users.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of pain on long-term memory and conditioned physiologic responses in the presence and absence of distinct intravenous anesthetics. Functional magnetic resonance imaging will be used to identify the neural correlates of these phenomena The study will occur over 5 visits and involves no long-term follow up.
Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the main causes of patient and family dissatisfaction, which may delay the onset of oral intake and postpone discharge. In pediatric patients, the incidence of PONV is high, and in some studies it can reach values of 70%. Strabismus surgery is considered an independent risk factor for PONV. Palonosetron is a second generation antiemetic drug, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonist, with a long half-life, which allows single dose administration and has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting, and has been used with satisfactory results in the prophylaxis of PONV in adult and pediatric patients. Studies involving palonosetron are still scarce.
During general anesthesia, temperature monitoring is critical especially in pediatrics. Recently developed 3M™ Bair Hugger™ skin temperature which is applied on temporal artery is correlated with core temperature measure by esophageal prove in several studies. Conventional skin temperature over carotid artery is also correlated with core temperature in several studies. The purpose of this study is comparing 2 methods of temperature monitoring in pediatrics. First, conventional core temperature measure by esophageal stethoscope. Second, 3M™ Bair Hugger™ applying on carotid artery.
The hypothesis is that this connected patch could be used in surgical departments to detect early a cardiovascular or respiratory complication and therefore to treat it without delay. However, it has not been validated in a hospital setting; that is the purpose of this project. This step of validating the connected monitoring object is required in different places: post-interventional surveillance room that approaches a conventional hospital room, and operating room where artifacts are numerous. Validation will be done by comparing data from General Electric's conventional monitors, with data from patches.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of combined supraclavicular and interscalene brachial plexus block in brachio-axillary surgeries in chronic renal failure as a sole anesthetic technique in comparison to general anesthesia.
