Filter by:Previous studies showed that, best lung protective strategies of ventilation parameters are based on driving pressure in damaged lungs. But there are few studies concerning the effects of different positions during different types of surgery on driving pressure with normal lungs.So the investigators decided to compare mechanical ventilation based on driving pressure with conventional mechanical ventilation in patients with lateral decubitus position during total hip replacement surgery. The investigators hypothesised that, there will be better intraoperative hemodynamic and respiratory parameters with better early postoperative results in patients whom mechanical ventilation parameters are adjusted according to driving pressure. In this randomised, controlled, double blind study, 60 patients who will have total hip replacement surgery will be recruited to the study. 30 patients will be ventilated by 8 ml/kg tidal volume and 5 cmH20 PEEP, in conventional lung protective group. And the other 30 patients will be ventilated by 8 ml/kg tidal volume and PEEP level with the lowest driving pressure. The investigators primary goal in this study study is to compare the effects of conventional lung protective ventilation with ventilation based on driving pressure on hemodynamic and respiratory parameters. And secondly, the investigators aim to compare the effects of these two techniques s on early postoperative outcome. The investigators primary result parameters are intra operative fluid consumption, lactate, etC02 and mix venous oxygen saturation levels.The investigators secondary result parameters are postoperative mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and discharge times.
This study is an observational study to test and validate a questionnaire and statistical model used to determine patient preferences regarding treatment for any one of 11 musculoskeletal conditions: hip arthritis, knee arthritis, hip labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), osteochondritis dissecans, Achilles tendon rupture, patellofemoral dislocation, distal radius fracture, and fractures of the hip, ankle, tibia, and proximal humerus. This study aims to understand how multiple treatment variables, including pain, rehabilitation time, cost, and choice of surgical versus non-surgical intervention, impact patients' decision-making processes and ultimate choice of treatment.
Nondisplaced hip fractures may be radiographically occult and require MRI or single photon emission CT bone scintigraphy for accurate diagnosis. Both examinations are expensive and are not readily available in many hospitals. Ultrasound (US) examination is relatively inexpensive and preliminary data had demonstrated its efficacy in detecting occult fractures in other sites. Our objective is to evaluate US examination as a screening tool for occult hip fractures in posttraumatic painful hips in the elderly.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of using WaisFix100i device for Intracapsular Femoral Fracture Fixation.
