This study will be conducted to determine the advantages and limitations of sonography compared with chest radiography, in the detection of post procedure iatrogenic pneumothorax in patients underwent to Pectus Excavatum (PE) with Nuss repair.
Breathing movements, called chest wall motion, are very complex. The investigators are studying how movement of the abdomen, ribs and diaphragm contribute to breathing and how this differs with different diseases in the chest. Breathing movements may help with diagnosis, assessment of severity or assessing the impact of treatments for chest conditions. The investigators are following people who have a chest disease, measuring their chest wall motion and comparing it to their diagnosis and and how their treatment works. Chest wall motion can be measured in different ways at rest and whilst exercising. Small stickers on the chest can be used to reflect infra red light or visible squares of light can be shone onto the chest without using stickers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cryoanalgesia provides better pain control for minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair (the Nuss procedure) than thoracic epidural.
Pectus excavatum (PE), the most common congenital chest wall deformity, requires surgical repair when the degree of deformity is severe. Currently, the Pectus Index (PI) is used to classify PE severity. Calculation of the PI requires cross-sectional imaging of the chest, usually with computed tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), to obtain the necessary measurements. However, CT delivers a high dose of ionizing radiation, which carries cumulative long-term risks of malignancy and MRI can be costly. The purpose of this study is to develop a method whereby accurate chest wall measurements can be obtained to quantify PE severity without the need for cross-sectional imaging.
The physiological assessment in non-operative treatment on chest wall deformities, are still unclear today. These functional benefits outweigh the aesthetic benefits associated with anatomical improvement. The functional benefits, ventilation, hemodynamic and neurologic, have never been evaluated. Assessment of Effects on parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system, global health criterion measured by noninvasive methods. Anatomic evaluation, between the initial and final assessment by objective measures 1) of the chest wall by MRI, and 2) of the heart by echocardiography. Noninvasive physiological assessment at rest and during exercise in respiratory function exploration flows and volumes, cardiac function by flow measurement, and overall metabolic function test effort (VO2max). Subjective assessment of functional gain between the initial and final balance sheet, based on EVA scales, valued by patients, parents and doctors.
The aim of this study was to compare the functional capacity of exercise by six-minute walk test and lung function by spirometry, before and after Nuss procedure in subjects who have undergone the early rehabiliation program with those who were under conventional care. Researchers want to find out if early rehabilitation is a strategy to enhance recovery after Nuss procedure.
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to test the feasibility of clinical hypnotherapy as a perioperative intervention for the reduction of pre-operative anxiety, post-operative pain, and other-related symptoms (nausea, vomiting, spasms, length of stay, self mastery) in children undergoing scoliosis repair or Nuss procedure.
Recovery following major surgical procedures can be influenced by both physical (optimization of cardiopulmonary function, pain control, activity) and psychological factors. Physical activity recommendations for post-operative patients is difficult, in part because little is known about the short- and long-term benefits of exercise and mobility on post-operative pain and return to normal functioning.
this non-randomized prospective study of 2 longitudinal cohorts (surgical treatment group or orthopedic treatment group), will evaluate the hemodynamic repercussions of the correction (surgical and non surgical) of pectus excavatum-type thoracic deformities by measuring the cardiac output difference before and after intervention, measured by transthoracic impedancemetry, during an exercise stress test
