Filter by:The changes that occur during pregnancy can lead to symptoms and complaints for women. Vaginal delivery has several benefits for both the mother and baby; however, during labor, some injuries may occur, such as lacerations and episiotomies. It is known that the postpartum period is when the body is involuting to its pre-pregnancy state. The perineal pain caused by these injuries during childbirth is a determining factor for recovery, and it may affect not only the physical but also the psychological well-being of women. Therefore, it is necessary to employ techniques that can alleviate pain and edema in the immediate postpartum period, directly influencing recovery. Objective: To compare the use of photobiomodulation with cryotherapy in the immediate postpartum period of 2 hours in parturients who suffered 1st and 2nd-degree lacerations and/or episiotomies. Methods: A randomized clinical trial will be conducted to compare two interventions. Data collection will be through a questionnaire and scales for the evaluation of pain and edema, with women who experienced vaginal delivery and those who suffered 1st and 2nd-degree lacerations or episiotomies. Expected results: Reduction of pain, edema, and inflammatory processes with non-pharmacological techniques, leading to greater comfort and better postpartum recovery.
The purpose of this study is to generate safety and performance data for 3M™ Topical Tissue Adhesive. Enrolled subjects with qualifying trauma lacerations or surgical incisions will be randomized to receive 3M™ Topical Tissue Adhesive or Histoacryl® Blue Topical Skin Adhesive with follow-up visits at 10 days and 30 days after application of tissue adhesive.
It is unknown if bystanders equipped with point-of-care (POC) instruction are as effective as bystanders with in-person training for bleeding control. Therefore, POC instructional interventions were developed during this study in response to the scalability challenges associated with in-person training to measure the comparative effectiveness and skill retention of POC instructions vs in-person training using a randomized clinical trial design.
In this non-interventional study, Optilene® suture will be evaluated for skin closure in adult patients.
Assessment of performance of Silkam® suture material for skin closure. A prospective, single center, single arm, observational study in daily practice.
This is a post - market study with a wound dressing, a CE-marked medical device available on the european market. The device will be used in routine clinical practice, i.e. within its intended purpose and without any additional invasive or stressing examinations for the patients. Up to 36 adult patients with wounds suitable to be treated with the medical device and meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled at two participating German sites. During 5 on-site visits within 28 days routine weekly dressing changes the Health Care Professional will examine the wound and will perform required wound care and dressing changes. Pictures of the wound with and without dressing will be taken at each visit and used for automatic analysis. The subjects will be asked to rate their general wound pain and the pain perceived during dressing changes. A wound-related quality of life questionnaire will be presented to the subjects twice and the subject and HCP will rate their safisfaction with the product.
This study will gather information on the use of microMend® to repair lacerations in children and compare the efficacy of microMend® to sutures for laceration repair. microMend® has previously been shown to be less painful and easier to use than sutures, which are the current standard of care for primary wound closures. Results of this research will inform how the treatment of laceration repairs in the pediatric patient population.
Lacerations are a common reason for presentation to the Emergency Department and children needing laceration repair with sutures are experiencing pain and anxiety. Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive experience using sight, sound, and position sense. Using VR may enhance distraction during the painful procedure and may reduce attention to pain. This study will randomize children (6 - 16 years old) to receive Virtual Reality or standard of care in addition to pharmacoanalgesia during a laceration repair procedure. Investigators will measure pain, anxiety, satisfaction, amount of analgesia and the length of procedure and compare between the two groups.
The purpose of this project is to compare in situ simulation with standard lab simulation. To do this, 30 pre-clinical medical students will be randomized into the lab or ER and taught how to suture a simple laceration. To do this, a synthesized 'skin' will be placed over a volunteer's arm and will have an incision of a predetermined length.
There are several methods of closing a skin cut: stitches, skin glue, and medical tape. Stitches have been used for a long time to close skin cuts. Skin glue (invented in the 1970s) and medical tape (invented in the 1960s) are two newer methods to close skin cuts. The purpose of this study is to find out which method (stitches, skin glue, or medical tape) of closing skin cuts results in the least amount of scarring. Other things the investigators will be looking at are which method is the cheapest, which causes the least pain, which requires the least amount of sedation, and which method patients and parents like the best.
