Filter by:This is a randomized control trial comparing the effects of subconjunctival triamcinolone administration during surgery to topical prednisolone drops on the development of post-operative inflammation and macular edema in manual small incision cataract surgery.
Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is an interfascial blockade during thoracic anesthesia, first described by Forero in 2016, and is highlighted by technically feasibility and less complication rate. The patient is placed as decubitus position. The anesthesiologists use echo to identify the ipsilateral transverse process at T5 level, and insert the needle to 2-3 cm lateral to the spinous process until contact the transverse process. Then the injected local anesthetic will penetrate via erector spinae muscle to paravertebral space to affect and relieve pain.
Despite modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of acute bowel obstruction (ABO), postoperative mortality ranges from 5 to 32%, and complications occur up 23% of cases. One of the formidable infectious and inflammatory complications of ABO is sepsis. The main component of the development of sepsis in ABO is bacterial translocation (BT). BT is the migration of intestinal bacteria or their products through the intestinal mucosa into the mesenteric lymph nodes and further into normally sterile tissues and organs. Today there are several methods for detecting BT: 1. direct method - the detection of 16s rRNA (ribosomal ribonucleic acid) in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN); 2. indirect method - the detection of serum lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and presepsin (Soluble CD14 subtype or sCD14-ST). The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic and prognostic significance of bacterial translocation as a predictor of the complications development in patients with malignant and benign acute bowel obstruction by assessing the relationship of biomarkers in the systemic circulation (LBP, sCD14-ST) with the detection of microorganism genes (16s rRNA) in mesenteric lymph nodes.
Lung-protective ventilation (LPV) during general anesthesia can trigger the development of early postoperative pulmonary complication (PPC) and ventilator associated lung injury. One of the proven components of the LPV is low tidal volume (TV). Data on the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) parameters adjustment in laparoscopic surgery, as well as the effects on the respiratory biomechanics, lung tissue and respiratory muscles damage are limited and not clear. The objective of the study is to evaluate the ability of the esophageal pressure (Pes) based controlled personalized PEEP adjustment, to improve the biomechanics of the respiratory system and oxygenation due to laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The purpose and objectives of this study is to investigate whether reducing the existing arm restrictions on patients who receive Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED) will result in an improved patient experience post operatively and reduce complication rates. There are multiple and varied arm restriction instructions given to patients receiving CIED's with limited universally accepted protocols or advice on restrictions for patients following surgery. Restrictions such as arm immobilization, showering and weight lifting, in addition to contradictory advice between various hospitals and physicians, can negatively affect patient quality of life and increase patient anxiety with no current evidence for benefit. A cluster cross over randomized trial has been designed to test the comparative effectiveness of lenient vs strict arm restrictions for all patients receiving implantable devices. Instructions within both arms of this study are considered within reasonable practice in Canada. All arm restriction instructions and parameters will be embedded within EPIC, nurses will teach the restriction in addition they will be provide to the patients via printed EPIC discharge summaries. Further links will be embedded in the After Visit Summary (AFS) printouts and my Chart for patients in EPIC. These instructions will be changed every 7 months, as per the crossover design of the trial. Additionally, both arms will utilize interactive voice recognition (IVR) to provide patients with further reminders and instruction on arm restrictions. All patients are given standard of care instructions for follow up and complication assessment through our device clinic and 24/7 on call nursing program.
The aim of the trial is to compare the routes of administration of indocyanine green (ICG) during laparoscopic cholocystectomy.
We hypothesize that high intensity respiratory muscle training will improve ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2 slope) and will be associated with decreased PPC, decreased mortality and better quality of life in lung resection candidates. Accordingly, the aim of this study will be to compare rest and exercise ventilation and gas exchange parameters as well as postoperative complications, quality of life and mortality in patients who undergo high intensity respiratory muscle training compared to patients who receive the usual standard of care.
Opioid-Free Anesthesia (OFA) is an anesthesia protocol that does not use morphine, and is increasingly used routinely. Indeed, this protocol would theoretically allow a better post-operative analgesic control, a lower incidence of post-operative complications (e.g. post-operative nausea and vomiting). In the end, it would also allow a better overall post-operative recovery and a decrease in the incidence of chronic post-operative pain. Nevertheless, the literature is poor on this issue and no randomized controlled study has evaluated the effect of the use of this type of anesthesia protocol on postoperative recovery.
The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the incidence, intensity and duration of postoperative pain following the removal of root canal obturation materials canals using rotary (ProTaper Universal or Hyflex EDM) or reciprocating file (Reciproc Blue or WaveOne Gold) systems. The null hypothesis tested was that there is no difference in postoperative pain following the retreatment procedure between the four systems used.
Variety of physical therapy treatments have been used after open abdominal surgery to improve cardiopulmonary and physical function as well as to reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. This study intends to determine the effect of early physical therapy interventions on post-operative recovery profile, post-operative ileus and incisional pain following abdominal hysterectomy.
