Filter by:Treatment of disorders such as gastrointestinal tract (GI) perforation, ischemia and obstruction often require acute high-risk abdominal surgery, which is associated with a high risk of complications such as myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) and mortality. The majority of patients with MINS will not experience any symptoms, and thus MINS remains undetected without routine troponin measurements. The investigators hypothesized that implementing surveillance with troponin I as a standard care might be useful as risk stratification, and that increased surveillance, examinations, and subsequent individually based medical interventions, might improve the outcomes for patients with MINS.
Background: Despite the capability of emergency surgery to reduce the mortality of severe spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (SSICH) patients, the effect and safety of surgical treatment for severe spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (SSICH) patients receiving long-term oral antiplatelet treatment (LOAPT) remains unclear. In consideration of this, the cohort study is aimed at figuring out the effect and safety of emergency surgery for SSICH patients on LOAPT. Methods: As a multicenter and prospective cohort study, it will be conducted across 7 representative clinical centers. Starting in September 2019, the observation is scheduled to be completed by December 2022, with a total of 450 SSIC H patients recruited. The information on clinical, radiological, and laboratory practices will be recorded objectively. All of the patients will be monitored until death or 6 months after the occurrence of primary hemorrhage. Results: In this study, two comparative cohorts and an observational cohort will be set up. The primary outcome is the effect of emergency surgery, which is subject to assessment using the total mortality and comparison in the survival rate of SSICH patients on LOAPT between surgical treatment and conservative treatment. The second outcome is the safety of surgery, with the postoperative hemorrhagic complication which is compared between the operated SSICH patients on and not on LOAPT. Based on the observation of the characteristics and outcome of SSICH patients on LOAPT, the ischemic events after discontinuing LOAPT will be further addressed, and the coagulation function assessment system for operated SSICH patients on LOAPT will be established. Conclusions: In this study, we will investigate the effect and safety of emergency surgery for SSICH patients on LOAPT, which will provide an evidence for management in the future.
This study defines a standardized protocol inspired to the ERAS philosophy for the peri-operative treatment of patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery. Primary endpoint is the feasibility of the application of the standardized protocol; secondary endpoint is the safety
Emergency general surgical care during the COVID-19 pandemic presents a unique set of considerations and challenges. Patients presenting with acute surgical conditions and concomitant COVID-19 infection have higher risk of mortality and morbidity. The investigators present their experience with COVID-19 positive patients presenting with acute surgical conditions and reviewed the implementation of a protocolized pathway to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 infection.
Background: The importance of cecal pathologies lie in the fact that being the first part of large intestine, any disease involving the cecum affects overall functioning of the large bowel. Primary cecal pathologies presenting as acute abdomen have not been described in any previous study in terms of presentation, management and outcome. Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify the reported causes of primary cecal pathologies presenting as acute abdomen and the various causes presenting in Indian setting, to discuss morbidity and mortality associated with cecal pathologies and to critically analyse the various management modalities employed in emergency setting.
The aims of the study is to assess whether the intravenous infusion of 3 mg/kg erythromycin has a significant gastrokinetic effect leading to empty the stomach in less than 90 minutes in non-fasting patients undergoing emergency trauma surgery.
