Filter by:As a result of the review in the literature, no study was found in which tele-pulmonary rehabilitation was applied after physiotherapist-supervised lung resection via video conferencing. Therefore, in this study, it was planned to investigate the effectiveness of tele-pulmonary rehabilitation in patients diagnosed with lung cancer and undergoing lung resection.
Prolonged air leak is reported in up to 60 to 75% of patients after lung operation in the presence of severe lung emphysema. The effect of the non-powered AEONTM Endostapler as compared to the Echelon FlexTM Powered plus stapler on the volume and duration of air leak and on the time to chest drain removal after lung operation in the presence of severe lung emphysema will be investigated in a randomized, prospective, single-blinded clinical trial.
Evaluation of efficacy and safety from 6hours of 7 cmH2O CPAP after weaning in patients undergoing lung resection, on the prevention of atelectasis / pneumonia and gas exchange improve.
The goal of this research is to optimize the MRI system to obtain ideal lung images using Hyperpolarized (HP) Noble and Inert Fluorinated Gases as contrast agents. Lung coils tuned to the frequencies of these gases will be used. This study will take place at TBRHSC in the Cardiorespiratory Department and in the Research MRI facility.
The effectiveness of tissue sealants to prevent Prolonged Air Leak (PAL) after lung resection procedures remains unproved. The investigators hypothesize that one of the main reasons for that is the heterogeneity of previously studied populations. Since currently the risk of postoperative PAL can be scored with a reasonable accuracy, the aim of this research is to investigate the effect of routine application of a novel tissue sealant in patients selected on the basis of a high risk of PAL estimated before surgery.
A 2 x 2 randomized study testing active versus passive drainage and regulated versus unregulated pleural pressure in patients undergoing anatomic lung resection
Thoracic epidural anesthesia and analgesia for patients undergoing lung resection can reduce the occurrence of AF if it is continued for six postoperative days instead of just three.
Surgical staplers have become standard for ligation, division, resection, anastomosis and closure in many surgical procedures. Staplers are utilized in thoracic surgery routinely for pulmonary parenchymal resection and closure, ligation of vessels and bronchi. In addition, closure of incomplete fissure/s is a frequent need in pulmonary surgery. Although generally safe and efficacious, staplers and staple loads are expensive, and can result in micro air leaks. The LigaSure Vessel Sealing System presents as a potentially faster and less expensive alternative to staplers. The LigaSure Vessel sealing system utilizes a combination of heat generated via bi-polar radiofrequency energy and precise jaw pressure to denature the collagen and elastin in tissue and blood vessels. The newly released Force Triad Generator and the Impact, a 10 mm jaw sealing device (Ligasure system, COVIDIEN Society) may offer improved performance in terms of tissue sticking due to an improved sealing algorithm, and to the jaw configuration of the Impact. The study main objective is to compare the quality of parenchymal pneumostasis after fissure closure achieved with staplers vs that achieved with LigaSure.
The investigators hypothesize that the lung resection would be associated with lower jugular bulb oxygen saturation in patients with severe pulmonary dysfunction than in patients with healthy lung functions.
