There are about 1320 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Saudi Arabia. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The authors developed a formula for predicting the accurate depth of DLT insertion into the appropriate bronchus based on height as follows [The predicted insertion depth of left DLT (cm) equals 0.249 × (BH)0.916] [R]. That pilot study showed comparable correlations between five formulae [Brodsky et al, Bahk and Oh R, Takita et al, Chow et al, Lin]. However, that formula developed has not been validated yet. We hypothesized that previously published formula would predict the accurate depth of left-sided DLT insertion. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of this formula to estimate the optimum insertion depth of the DLT using a flexible bronchoscope and decrease the incidence of DLT displacement into the appropriate bronchus, the need for bronchoscopic adjustment, and complications including soreness of throat and mucosal injury.
The primary objective is to test the efficacy and safety of the accuracy of continuous intravenous infusion of norepinephrine during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the prevention of hyperlactatemia after cardiac surgery. "Efficacy" would be tested with measurement of the postoperative changes in lactic acid level over time from the baseline value before induction of general anesthesia. "safety" would be tested with observing the post-cardiotomy need for inotropic and vasopressor support, the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), changes in cardiac troponin level (CnTnI), and signs of ischemic splanchnic injury.
A randomized control trial studying the effect of prophylactic antibiotics to reduce surgical site infections following cardiac surgery in adults using 1st generation cephalosporin (Cefazolin) or 2nd generation cephalosporin (Cefuroxime).
The aim of the present study is comparing the effectiveness of different treatment regimens for investigating the therapeutic potential for each one in management of Vaso-occlusive pain in pediatric sickle cell disease. In addition, investigators apply the Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) as a form of economic analysis that compares the relative costs and outcomes (effects) for different treatment regimens on vaso-occlusive painful crisis.
The aim of the present study is evaluating the strength of combination therapy of hydroxy urea, omega 3, nigella sativa and honey on antioxidant-oxidant status (OXIDATIVE STRESS) in response to reactive oxygen species production (LIPID PEROXIDATION) and their effect on iron intoxication (IRON CHELATION) in pediatric major thalassemia.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is widely employed nowadays. Multimodal analgesia approach is implemented within the enhanced recovery protocol in our facility to improve participants' recovery. Due to side effects of narcotics, the may adversely affect the quality of recovery, the investigators intended to test the efficacy of opioids free anaesthesia on the quality of recovery and postoperative narcotic use.
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the the effect of Thera Togs soft orthotic undergarment on modulation of the spinal geometry and mobility in sagittal plan in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of FES on stimulation of the anterior tibial group by using the WalkAide foot drop stimulator on improving walking and balance abilities in children with hemiplegic CP.
To assess endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty in comparison to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy before and 3 months after the procedure in terms of multiple nutrition-related factors, quality of life, weight and other related parameters.
Purpose: The aim of the study is to determine the combined effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and activities in virtual reality on the functional recovery of the upper extremity function of the children with hemiparesis. Subjects: Forty children with infantile stroke with age group between (6-12 years) will be divided into two groups, the experimental group will receive tDCS plus VR while the control group will receive sham tDCS plus VR. All the children will receive tDCS for 30minutes with 1.5 mA intensity over the dominant motor cortex. Both groups will be treated for three times a week for 6 weeks. Instrumentation: The the Fugl-Meyer assessment, motricity index, and Modified Barthel index will be used to assess the dependent variables after the intervention.
