Filter by:The main objective of this study is to evaluate the association between the duration of intraoperative cuff overpressure and the development of postoperative sore throat.
The purpose of this study is to plan an effective learning path in minimally invasive thoracic and general surgery with a virtual training simulator for trainees and to assess the improvement of residents' surgical skills by the introduction of this virtual training program.
To compare a polyvinyl chloride tube with a wire-reinforced tube for tracheal intubation through the SaCoVLM video laryngeal mask airway, to observe the success rate of intubation and the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions, and to explore the best type of endotracheal tube through the SaCoVLM video laryngeal mask airway, so as to provide reference for its clinical application.
This is a randomized, controlled, parallel, multicenter trial to compare post-operative complications and long-term results between open and laparoscopic technique in emergency colorectal surgery.
The microcirculation represents the primary site of exchange of oxygen and nutrients for tissues, and the preservation of microcirculatory perfusion is essential for the maintenance of organ function. The microcirculation is extremely dynamic and may vary according to the individual's temperature, systemic blood pressure, the use of medications, during physical and mental activity, age and pathological processes. In this context, the development of portable microscopes for clinical use has made possible the non-invasive visualization of the microcirculation and tissue perfusion in patients undergoing several highly complex procedures in cardiology, including cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) and in critically ill patients in intensive care. CytoCam, for example, is a handheld device that incorporates a darkfield incident light illumination system with a series of high-resolution lenses that project images to a computer dedicated to the system. Dexmedetomidine is a selective agonist of 2-adrenergic receptors in the central nervous system, whose administration results in a reduction in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and a reduction in the systemic release of catecholamines. Its use in the perioperative period has several beneficial effects, such as reducing neuroendocrine and hemodynamic responses due to anesthesia and surgery, through induction of sedation and analgesia, in addition to reducing the consumption of opioids and anesthetics in general. Several recent studies report that the use of dexmedetomidine in the perioperative period reduces the incidence of postoperative complications, reduces the time on mechanical ventilation and attenuates the neuroendocrine response due to surgical trauma and extracorporeal circulation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, the effects of dexmedetomidine on systemic microcirculation function during its use in anesthesia for elective surgical procedures of medium complexity are not yet known. In conclusion, the hypothesis of the present study is that continuous intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine during balanced general anesthesia increases the microvascular perfusion flow rate in the sublingual mucosa, representing an increase in systemic microvascular perfusion.
The investigators have recently shown that pain associated with peripheral venous cannulation can be used to predict the risk of postoperative pain, where patients grading their pain associated with venous cannulation (VCP) above 2.0 VAS units had 3.4 times higher risk of moderate or severe postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 1.7 times higher risk in a mixed group of patients and surgeries. The aim of this study is to investigate whether pain sensitivity measurements using VCP can be used to choose anesthesia treatment protocol with the aim to lower acute postoperative pain in those with high risk. In patients with low risk we aim to lower the amount of opioids given.
The aim of this study is to assess the need and potential benefits of the wide field of view during general and gynecology laparoscopic surgery.
The objective of this study is to determine if an opioid-free general anesthetic (OFA) technique utilizing lidocaine, ketamine, dexmedetomidine and magnesium reduce postoperative opioid consumption and speed return of bowel function in patients undergoing elective, laparoscopic, colorectal surgery compared to traditional opioid-containing general anesthetic techniques. It is hypothesized that this intraoperative OFA regimen will reduce postoperative opioid consumption, and expedite return of bowel function in this population.
This project will study the effect of oxytocin on hemodynamics in patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy, and how to prevent and manage such hemodynamic changes effectively.It provides a reference for the rational use of oxytocin in clinical practice, which can not only effectively contract the uterus and reduce bleeding, but also reduce the influence on hemodynamics.
Laparoscopic surgery can induce hemodynamic pertubations. Pneumoperitoneum, inevitable in laparoscopic surgery, induces increase in intra-abdominal pressure, which can decrease cardiac output. Simultaneously, pneumoperitoneum can stimulate sympathetic system and increase vascular resistance/arterial blood pressure. Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery may show a normal range of blood pressure during pneumoperitoneum even when the patients are in hypovolemia, and desufflation at the end of main surgical procedure can cause an abrupt hypotension revealing hypovolemia. Therefore, appropriate fluid management is essential for preventing desufflation-induced hypotension in laparoscopic surgery. Recently, dynamic variables are used to predict and guide fluid therapy during controlled ventilation. these variables arise from heart-lung interactions during positive ventilation, which influence left ventricular stroke volume. Several dynamic variables are derived from variations in left ventricular stroke volume (stroke volume variation, SVV), for example pulse pressure variation (PPV), and variations in pulse oximetry plethysmography waveform amplitude (PWV), which have all been shown to predict fluid responsiveness in different clinical and experimental settings. However, there are few evidences regarding which type of dynamic variables can predict desufflation-induced hypotension in laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the predictive abilities of three different type of dynamic variables including PPV, SVV, and PWV for desufflation-induced hypotension in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
