Invasive neuromonitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) is an important element of neurosurgical critical care that is used primarily as an indicator of adequate cerebral perfusion in patients, when clinical observation is not an option. Due to the constraint in size and the critical structures within the posterior fossa, detection of intracranial pressure particularly in the postoperative phase has been deemed desirable in patients with surgery in this region, particularly in those subjected to prolonged procedures and critical care. The posterior fossa is an anatomically constricted compartment with narrow spaces and intracranial hypertension quickly leads to brainstem damage and neurological dysfunction. ICP in the supratentorial space not necessarily correlates with ICP in the infratentorial space. Some authors claim that it would be beneficial to measure ICP in infratentorial space after posterior fossa surgery in some cases. The relationship between the intracranial pressure profiles in the supratentorial and infratentorial compartments remain unclear. After a neurosurgical operation in the posterior fossa there are most likely pressure differences between supra- and infratentorial spaces. It is well known that the pressure within the skull is unevenly distributed, with appreciable ICP gradients. Thus, the investigators intend to apply the intracranial multimodal monitoring in both infratentorial and supratentorial compartments simultaneously. Such coincident measurements most likely will be the most sensitive way to assess focal swelling, ischemia and tissue perfusion, or other relevant complications in the posterior fossa structures. The goal of this study is to test whether direct infratentorial monitoring is a more efficacious method for detecting dynamic changes in the operative compartment and whether it is safe, in view of the critical structures within the region.
The purpose of this implementation science study is to generate evidence that informs the successful uptake and adoption of the Ellavi UBT within Ghana's PPH management programs. The investigators aim to improve the likelihood that the Ellavi UBT will be integrated into the health care system by obtaining critical feedback from stakeholders and health care providers on the barriers and facilitators towards its successful adoption and roll out. The research will be done in three purposively selected facilities near Accra Ghana: Tema General Hospital, Ridge Hospital, and Kasoa Polyclinic. This study uses a nonexperimental design to collect data on implementation (e.g. # staff trained, usability, user confidence, acceptability, feasibility). The study team will train all obstetric healthcare staff (i.e. obstetricians, midwives, medical officers, clinical officers) involved in PPH management at the 3 participating healthcare facilities on the Ellavi UBT. The investigators will gather feedback from the obstetric healthcare workers (post-training and post-PPH) to understand the barriers to and facilitators of use in order to evaluate acceptability and feasibility among facilities providing different levels of care (level 4, level 5 (county), level 6 (tertiary)). This process will help to generate training and facility level recommendations for improved uptake and integration into the local maternal care package. Case report forms and semi-quantitative surveys will be completed by obstetrical care providers to evaluate the primary outcomes of acceptability and feasibility by measuring: context of use, accuracy of use, perceptions of the device, user confidence, acceptability, usability, facilitators of use, barriers to use, use-patterns, and insights into training effectiveness. The secondary outcomes will include financial data to determine the cost of introducing the Ellavi UBT into the Kenyan PPH management protocols and the health system. The study will not involve the storage of biological samples. There is not a direct benefit of the study to the individual participants. All study participants will sign consent forms.
Traumatic brain injury is one of the most common reasons for visits to the Emergency Department. More than 90% of patients who have suffered from head trauma present with a mild traumatic brain injury. Most of these patients do not present any symptom at the time of diagnosis thus delaying the detection. CEREBO®, a non-invasive, portable, rapid, point-of-care intracranial haemorrhage detector can avoid delayed detection by decreasing the time from injury to the initial CT scan. The study aims at assessing the summative usability of the device by determining its ease of use, ease of learning and satisfaction among the medical health professionals. The participants will be trained before the study and will be assessed periodically. Each participant will use the device on at least 10 subjects.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability across the globe. Time from injury to treatment is the most critical factor that determines the patient's recovery. Mild TBI with no apparent symptoms are often left undiagnosed, thus delaying the treatment and hence recovery. CEREBO® is a non-invasive, rapid, near-infrared based, point-of-care device that can detect an intracranial bleed at an early stage.
Post partum haemorrhage is a concerning situation in maternity wards, though it is not the first cause of maternal mortality anymore. It has been already shown that low fibrinogen level is a major predictive factor of massive bleeding after delivery. In this situation, the early knowledge of fibrinogen level could enhance care of women experiencing post partum haemorrhage. In a cohort of women suffering from post partum haemorrhage, this study will evaluate whether assessing fibrinogen level would be faster using the Quantra® system than the standard coagulation test.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Kahoot and telesimulation methods on the knowledge, skills, motivation and clinical performance of nursing students in the management of postpartum hemorrhage and to examine the students' views on these methods. This is a randomized controlled intervention study in which the quantitative research method is used. The study sample consisted of year-2 students (n=177) who took the Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing course in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year at the Faculty of Gulhane Nursing at SBU. The control group consisted of 44 students, and the intervention group was divided into three groups and randomized to include 44 students in each group, with a total of 133 students. All students attended the "Postpartum Hemorrhage and its Management" course, and after the course, Group II received the telesimulation intervention, Group III the Kahoot game intervention and Kahoot game and telesimulation to Group IV. The control group did not receive any intervention.
In this randomized clinical trial, the authors compare two cohorts receiving different endolaser spot amounts with similar laser settings in PDR subjects naïve to PRP undergoing PPV for the indication of VH.
Blood loss quantification during surgery remains unreliable and inaccurate. The purpose of the study is compare several methods of blood loss quantification in real surgical settings and to analyze the effect of blood loss on postoperative complications.
Patients who were using anticoagulant or antiaggregant medications for any reason and underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or open prostatectomy (OP) due to BPH will be compared with those who were not using anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication. The rates of postoperative clot retention, presence of hematuria, reoperation due to hematuria, blood transfusion and re-admissions due to hematuria in the first postoperative month will be compared.
