This is a multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study. Consecutive patients, operated in six University Hospitals in Sweden will be recruited following major surgical procedure. The length of patient recruitment period will be 12 weeks. The length of follow up will be 360 days . The objectives are to determine the postoperative morbidity (during the hospital stay), the survival (0-360 days), to identify risk factors for adverse outcomes and to identify risk factors that may potentially be influenced by any intervention in the future. Amendments: 1. The follow-up of mortality is extended to 3 years of the cohort 2. The mortality of the background population at 30 and 90 Days will be analyzed 3. Validation of the Surgical Outcome Risk Tool in the study cohort and in the background population are planned
There is no ideal "cookbook recipe" for fluid prescription that would fit every surgical patient. In this study, the investigators working hypothesis is that the adoption of an integrative algorithm for perioperative fluid and haemodynamic management would improve clinical outcome and reduce hospital resource utilization in noncardiac surgical procedures (major-to-intermediate level of stress. Two intraoperative fluid strategies will be compared: "Restrictive" vs. "goal-directed therapy (GDT)". In the GDT group, haemodynamic information will be obtained by a flow monitoring device coupled with standard heart rate and blood pressure monitoring.
The Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) is a more comprehensive measure of obesity-related diseases and predictor of mortality than BMI or waist circumference. The aim of this study is to determine whether the EOSS is also important in predicting post - operative outcome and 30-day mortality after metabolic surgery.
Patients undergoing total laryngectomy are at high risk for 30-day unplanned readmission. Many of these readmissions are related to stomal care, and it is thought that the readmissions could be prevented with better patient and caregiver education. The investigators are studying the effect of a comprehensive perioperative education program on 30-day unplanned readmission for patients undergoing total laryngectomy. The comprehensive perioperative education program will include the following additional interventions: -Preoperative visit with the speech pathologist for explanation of laryngectomy physiology, stomal education, and alaryngeal voice rehabilitation. Participants will be expected to undergo this intervention and to attend it with their "laryngectomy coach" (a family member or friend to accompany the patient through the education process), but failure to meet with the speech pathologist will not exclude a patient from the study. - Preoperative education class with a designated ENT laryngectomy nurse for patient and caregiver. The hands-on class introduces the patient and laryngectomy coach to the basics of stomal care. Participants and their "laryngectomy coach" will be expected to attend the preoperative education class - Printed laryngectomy journey guide given to patients at time of study enrollment for patient/caregiver. This journey guide details the preoperative, in-hospital, and post-discharge course and is provided as a reference throughout their journey. - Formalized, nursing administered practical evaluation of minimal competency of laryngectomy care for patient and caregiver/laryngectomy coach. This study will follow patients prospectively from the time of study commencement and then assess changes in patient knowledge before and after the education intervention. It will also compare rate of stomal complications and readmission rates to institutional historical averages to assess improvement in quality care.
This study is designed to evaluate the surgeon's satisfaction with either deep or moderate neuromuscular blockade during laparoscopic gastrectomy surgery and observe the recovery profiles in the recovery room and the ward.The explorative objective of this study is to evaluate the safety profiles of deep and moderate neuromuscular blockades via observation of postoperative complications.
Hospitalization in pregnancy and childbirth greatly increases the thromboembolic risk of these patients. The application of a protocol for assessing the risk of VTE reduces mortality and morbidity of these phenomena.
The aim of GLUTAMICS II is to evaluate whether intravenous glutamate infusion surgery reduces the risk of postoperative heart failure as measured by plasma NT-proBNP in patients undergoing moderate to high-risk coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Patients accepted for coronary artery bypass surgery of at least two vessel disease or left main stenosis with or without concomitant procedure and considered to be at moderate to high surgical risk preoperatively with regard to postoperative heart failure will be studied. The primary endpoint is postoperative increase of NT-proBNP from the day before surgery to the third postoperative day.
Congenital cataract is an important treatable cause of visual handicap in childhood throughout the world. Successful management of childhood cataract is dependent on individualized treatment strategies and rigorous postoperative supervision for adverse complication. In this trial, we aimed to compare the difference of postoperative outcome between surgical timing at age of 3 month and 6 month. Patients enrolled into the study will be followed for two year and will have study visits at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, 12 month, 18month and 24month postoperatively.
The investigators sought to examine the effects of 'old' red blood cells on mortality and morbidity of patients who undergoing revision hip replacement arthroplasty. The investigators hypothesis is that patients have an increased risk of mortality and infection after 'old' red blood cells transfusions compared with those who received 'new' transfusions.
