Filter by:This is a multicentre, active-control randomized, prospective, Phase 3 study in adult cardiac surgery patients. Approximately 500 patients will be randomized at approximately 12 hospitals.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of compliance with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program on patient reported outcomes (PROs), surgery-specific outcomes and stress response after pancreatic surgery. This prospective observational study will include all consecutive patients undergoing pancreatic surgery over a period of three years (2022 - 2025) at two sites, namely University General Hospital of Larissa and IASO Thessalias, in Greece. Patients will be prospectively enrolled after written informed consent. Data will be collected on patient characteristics, surgical and anaesthetic techniques, complications, and length of stay. Quality of life questionnaires will be administered to patients preoperatively, on the fith postoperative day, first follow-up after discharge, one month and six months after the operation. The stress response will be assessed by measuring the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR and PLR) preoperatively, and on the first five postoperative days. Data will be collected on pancreatic surgery-specific complications such as delayed gastric emptying (DGE), post-pancreatectomy haemorrhage (PPH) and postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) formation. Anonymised data will be uploaded by the principal investigator on a protected excel spreadsheet for analysis.
The study is a prospective, randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled trial that aims to investigate the hypothesis that early administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) following diagnosis of hip fracture will lower pre and postoperative blood loss and transfusion rates. Patients who present to the hospital with a hip fracture will be recruited and randomized into two treatment arms. The treatment group will receive 1950mg of oral TXA (three tablets, 650 mg each) and the control group will be given three tablets of oral placebo while in the Emergency Department. Patients will then be admitted to the Orthopaedic Trauma service and treated surgically with cephalomedullary nail, hemiarthroplasty, sliding hip screw, percutaneous screws, or total hip arthroplasty.
To evaluate the effect of intravenous tranexamic acid plus intramyometrial desmopressin administration on perioperative blood loss and blood transfusion need in laparoscopic myomectomy operation.
The investigators are suggtesting that lower goals of systolic blood pressure after intravenous thrombolysis may reduce the risk of hemorrhagic complications and improve functional outcomes after acute ischemic stroke.
Pars-plana vitrectomy (PPV) is the cornerstone of surgical treatment for eyes with complicated proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Anti-VEGF intravitreal injection before PPV has shown a good effect on surgical outcomes. However, many patients present with co-morbidities that contraindicate the usage of anti-VEGF in the pre-operative period. Thus, cryoapplication, an old therapeutic tool for proliferative diabetic retinopathy may be a good alternative. The investigators present herein a comparative study between peripheral retinal cryoapplication and anti-VEGF before vitrectomy for complicated proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains to be one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. It has been noted that an increasing number of PPH is attributed to the increased incidence of uterine atony. Myometrial contraction is affected by the choice of anesthetic technique and medications during cesarean delivery (CD). It has been proven that exposure to oxytocin during labor results in a decrease in myometrial contractions. Dexmedetomidine is a drug which has been used in obstetric practice due to its desirable effects such as decreasing pain, reduced elevation in blood pressure and heart rate, sedation, and diminished anesthetic requirement. It has been used as an adjunct during spinal or epidural anesthesia during CD and even during general anesthesia for some obstetric surgeries. The use of dexmedetomidine has been continuously rising due to its favorable effects. Its use as an adjunct in general anesthesia for obstetrical surgeries has been shown to have promising advantages. During this pandemic, dexmedetomidine has been utilized largely as a sedative in critically ill and intubated patients. This does not exclude critically ill pregnant patients who may also need to deliver urgently. Thus, it is important to investigate its effect on uterine contractility on this particular group of patients. The investigators hypothesize that dexmedetomidine causes a dose-dependent increase in contractility of the pregnant human myometrium, both spontaneous and oxytocin-induced.
The purpose of this study is to access the efficacy of the drug tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss during burn excision surgery.
This study will engage patients and families to create a definition of what matters most to them about upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. This information will help to define the outcome of "patient-important GI bleeding" which is a secondary endpoint for the ongoing international randomized trial REVISE (NCT03374800), comparing acid suppression versus no acid suppression in the intensive care unit (ICU). Other outcomes in REVISE are clinically important upper GI bleeding, mortality, pneumonia and Clostridioides difficile infection. Guided by patient and family input, a series of open-ended questions will elicit patient and family views about what matters most about this complication in interviews and focus groups. The investigators will develop the definition of "patient-important GI bleeding" by analyzing interview and focus group transcripts of critically ill survivors and family members of critically ill patients who may or may not have had GI bleeding, and who were not enrolled in the REVISE trial. Patient and family perspectives (anticipated to be different from what clinicians consider to be clinically important GI bleeding), will be used to refine a new trial outcome for research on GI bleeding in the intensive care unit (ICU). Also, study results will help clinicians understand how to better support patients and families; to explain testing and treatment options when GI bleeding occurs in practice in the ICU.
The study will investigate the prevalence of high bleeding risk (HBR) features and will compare the clinical outcomes of HBR and non-HBR patients among those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and receiving cangrelor infusion.
