Filter by:Remimazolam is an ultra-short acting benzodiazepine agonist which is used widely for general anesthesia and sedation. Remimazolam has several advantages. Remimazolam is rapidly metabolized by tissue esterase that it does not accumulate even after infusion for long periods of time. The presence of reversal agents (flumazenil) is also advantageous. Also, hemodynamic stability compared to propofol gives clinicians preference to use for geriatric anesthesia. However, the study on the effect of remimazolam compared to propofol on postoperative delirium have not been carried out. The purpose of the study is to compare the incidence of postoperative delirium and recovery profile in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery using either remimazolam or propofol.
This is a multicenter, prospective, Post-market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) Study on the ZNN Bactiguard Antegrade Femoral Nails. The objective of this study is to collect data confirming the safety, performance, and clinical benefit of the study device and instrumentation when used for the temporary internal fixation and stabilization of femoral fractures and osteotomies. This is a CE-marked device already available on the market and the aim of the study is to comply with the post-market surveillance requirements.
In PENG block technique, the local anesthetic agent is injected between the psoas tendon and the pubic ramus to block the sensory branches of the nerves which innervates the hip capsule for providing analgesia without causing muscle weakness. Since the PENG block is a facial plane block, it causes a volume dependent distribution. There are a few case reposts and cadaveric studies on volume dependent effect of analgesia and motor weakness of PENG block. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of the volume-dependent efficacy of PENG block.
It was conducted a prospective study with a series of 45 patients with lateral fragility fractures of the femur treated by three different intramedullary nails. Patients were randomized in Group A (15 patients treated by Affixus Zimmer-Biomet), Group B (15 patients treated by EBA2 - Citieffe) and Group C (15 patients treated by Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation Synthes). One independent observer performed seven biochemical evaluations (hemoglobin serum value) from admission to patient discharge. Surgical time and Blood transfusions number were reported for each partecipant.
It was conducted a prospective study with a series of 50 patients treated by intramedullary nail using Clodronic acid and Vitamin D (study group including 25 patients) and patients with the same fractures treated with Vitamin D alone (control group including 25 patients). One independent observer performed clinical, biochemical and functional evaluations at T0 (1st day post-surgery) and at T1 (12 months later) Biochemical markers (serum calcium level, serum phosphate level, PTH (parathormone), Vitamin D, serum C-terminal telopeptide), VAS (Visual Analogic Scale) and HHS (Harris Hip Score) score, and femur densitometric views were administered at each evaluation.
The purpose of this study is to monitor severe pain for femur fracture after treatment with paracetamol IV or OR.
The pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) is a regional anaesthetic technique that was developed in 2018, primarily for total hip arthroplasties (THA) as a postoperative analgesia modality with motor sparing benefits. The block is thought to provide more complete analgesia to the hip by depositing local anaesthetic within the myofascial plane of the psoas muscle and superior pubic ramus. In this study, the investigators will assess the effect of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block on pain control in patients with proximal femur fracture in the emergency department. The Control group will receive morphine as regular patient control analgesia (PCA) The interventional group will receive PENG block before being attached to regular morphine PCA
Nerve blocks applied with neuraxial anesthesia and ultrasonography are used for many operations today. Neuraxial blocks cause varying degrees of decrease in the blood pressure level of the patients. Peripheral blocks may be preferred to avoid the cardiac effects of the neuraxial anesthesia method.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an intra-operative, post-fixation fracture hematoma block compared to saline control on postoperative pain control in patients with acute femoral shaft fractures. Our primary outcome measure is visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores which are recorded at regular intervals.
Femur fracture is very common in older people. It makes the people bedridden for long time at hospital. The fracture of femur is generally managed by the surgical procedure. Prolonged fasting for surgery makes the patients harassed physically as well as mentally. The long fasting state emphasizes the body more in catabolic state which increases the insulin resistivity. Pre-operative carbohydrate loading before two hours the surgery has been launched in practice to overcome these problems in the world context, however it is not in existence in Nepal. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of pre-operative carbohydrate loading in the case of femur fracture surgery. This study utilize a hospital based randomized control trial study design to assess the effect of carbohydrate loading before two hours the surgery over the completely fasting state. A representative sample size of 66 patients (control group =33 and study group =33) aged 50 years and above having femur fracture planned for surgery will be selected for research. The pre-operative nutritional status will be identified and the post-operative outcomes will be measured by Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and Cumulative Ambulatory Score (CAS). Statistical analysis will be performed using chi square test, independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U test to compare between the outcome of study groups and control groups. The outcome of the study may provide a platform to the anaesthesiologists and surgeons towards the emerging concept of pre-operative carbohydrate loading practice in Orthopedics surgery in Nepal.
