NCT ID: NCT01726231 Completed - Clinical trials for Other Surgical Procedures

Evaluation of Abdominal Wall Lifting During Laparoscopic Direct Trocar Insertion

Start date: November 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

In laparoscopy, over %50 of the all complications occur during establishment of the pneumoperitoneum. Lifting of the anterior abdominal wall is aimed to increase the distance between the abdominal wall and the intrabdominal structures. Elevation of the anterior abdominal wall is recommended for the access to peritoneal cavity in literatures however the benefit exactly has not proved. This study aimed to determine the distance from anterior abdominal wall to intraperitoneal structures during lifting of the abdominal wall, to represent this distance -on the average- generate the safe range whether or not and compare with this distance and patient's age, BMI and parity.

NCT ID: NCT01643616 Completed - Clinical trials for Other Surgical Procedures

Ultrasound Guided Distal Sciatic Nerve Block - a Comparison With Nerve Stimulator Technique

Start date: November 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

For distal sciatic nerve block this prospective, randomised comparison with ultrasound guided distal subepineural block tested the hypothesis, that intraepineural injection of local anesthetic using nerve stimulation technique is common and associated with high success rate.

NCT ID: NCT01580176 Completed - Clinical trials for Other Surgical Procedures

Continuous GlucoseMonitor for Measurement of Blood Glucose Level

ContAssGlu
Start date: March 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will be the first study in which the new central venous microdialysis-based continuous glucose monitoring system (Continuous GlucoseMonitor) is used to investigate the performance of this Continuous GlucoseMonitor, as the measurements will be compared with a point of care reference (RAPIDLab® 1265 blood gas analyser). Further important points are also much less blood samplings / blood loss for the patient and personnel costs.

NCT ID: NCT01491165 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Other Surgical Procedures

Safety and Efficacy of Stem Cell Transplantation for Treatment of Liver Cirrhosis

Start date: December 2011
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Mainstream of current treatment of liver cirrhosis is liver transplantation, but there are high cost, risk and immune rejection and other issues. Umbilical cord mesenchyma stem cell with self-and directed differentiation capacity can effectively rescue experimental liver failure and contribute to liver regeneration, which suggests the feasibility of stem cell transplantation therapy. In this study, the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchyma stem cell transplantation through interventional procedures in patients liver cirrhosis will be evaluated.

NCT ID: NCT01433029 Completed - Clinical trials for Other Surgical Procedures

Objective Assessment of Technical Skills in Cardiothoracic Surgery

Start date: September 1, 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The goal of this research study is to develop a method of rating videos of CAB procedures that will produce a reliable assessment of a cardiothoracic surgical trainee's technical proficiency. In addition, researchers also want to learn if using a video manual to train raters can help improve rater reliability.

NCT ID: NCT01309360 Completed - Clinical trials for Other Surgical Procedures

Ultrasound-guided Axillary Plexus Block - Dose Reduction of Prilocaine

Start date: September 2009
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Clinical aim: Does reducing the dose of local anesthetic in ultrasound-guided axillary plexus anesthesia have any effect on the success rate and additional parameters of block quality? Methodology: In this prospective cohort study three groups of 40 outpatients each were administered dosages of 1% prilocaine of either 40mL, 30mL or 20mL for axillary plexus anesthesia. Met-Hb was measured prior to administration of the block and then hourly until the Met-Hb concentration fell. Parameters of block quality and any adverse effects were recorded. The level of significance was defined with α ≤ 0.05.
