NCT ID: NCT06443749 Not yet recruiting - Appendectomy Clinical Trials

Closure of the Appendiceal Stump

Start date: August 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Laparoscopic appendectomy is a well-defined surgical technique. However, concerns remain about whether closure of the appendiceal stump should be done with clips, endoloops, staples, or other techniques. If tying is to be used in the closure of the appendiceal stump, there is no consensus on which technique (intracorporoyal, extracorporoyal, etc.) should be used for ligation. For this reason, there is a need for studies on different binding techniques and instruments currently used. The aim of this study was to compare the use of unilateral intracorporeal knot and polymer endoclip closure during laparoscopic appendectomy.

NCT ID: NCT06395636 Not yet recruiting - Appendicitis Clinical Trials

Early Detection of Infection Using the Fitbit in Pediatric Surgical Patients

i-DETECT
Start date: July 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to analyze Fitbit data to predict infection after surgery for complicated appendicitis and the effect this prediction has on clinician decision making.

TAP Block or Wound Infiltration for Laparoscopic Pediatric Appendectomy: a Pilot Study

Start date: March 30, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Effectiveness of the TAP block compared to wound infiltration in controlling pain after laparoscopic appendectomy in children

Ultrasound Assessment of Gastric Content Before Anesthesia for Appendectomy

EGASTA
Start date: December 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Performing anesthetic induction for appendicectomy has two main risks : first aspiraion of gastric content causing pneumonia. Otherwise, anaphylactic risk to drugs used during anesthetic induction. Indeed, the guidelines recommend an anesthetic induction protocol qualified "full stomach" whatever the patient and the preoperative fasting period are. This protocol provides the use of fast-acting neuromuscular blocking agents (succinylcholine or rocuronium). However, these neuromuscular blocking agents are ten times more at allergic risk than others. Ultrasound assessment of gastric content before rapid sequence induction of anesthesia is a reproducible, non-invasive, inexpensive and quickly achievable bedside technique. Furthermore, the correlations between gastric volume and risk of a full stomach and also between the cross-section antral area (CSA) and the risk of a full stomach have been validated on several patient cohorts. We formulate the hypothesis that the achievement of a gastric ultrasound before anesthetic induction for appendectomy could allow to identify "full stomach" patients who actually justify rapid sequence induction of anesthesia with exposure to fast-acting neuromuscular blocking agents that implies. Primary endpoint is to determine te percentage of patients who have a gastric content before appendectomy. Secondary endpoint is to determine the incidenc of aspiration pneumonia and anaphylactic shock. Another secondary endpoint is to determine the percentage of patient with gastric content with the antral grading system (Perlas method) and to evaluate the concordance between this methode and the cross-section antral area.
