Filter by:The objective of this research is to compare the effect of irrigation during impacted mandibular third molar surgery, with normal saline of 25 ± 2 ° C and 37 ± 1 ° C for control and experimental sides, respectively.
Preoperative anemia is associated with an important increase in transfusions of red blood cells (RBC) compared to a non-anemic patient in cardiac and non cardiac surgery. Furthermore transfusion is also an independent factor of morbi-mortality with notably an increase in the infectious risk, immunological, an increase of the risk of cardiac decompensation, respiratory decompensation Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) or Transfusion Associated Cardiac Overload (TACO), and an increase in mortality of 16%. Management of perioperative transfusion is therefore a public health issue. Since 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been promoting a systematic approach to implement blood management programs for the patient to optimize the use of resources and promote quality and safety of care. Improving the relevance of transfusion in cardiac surgery could be achieved by optimizing the management of patients around 2 axis: A:non-drug intervention : Review of Practices to Improve the Management of Perioperative RBC Transfusion B:drug intervention : Systematic correction of pre- and postoperative iron, vitamin deficiencies and anemia The aim of this program is to improve the relevance of transfusion in cardiac surgery and to limit the morbidity and mortality induced by transfusion. This program is part of a global project of pre, per and postoperative management of the patient undergoing cardiac surgery programmed under extracorporeal circulation (ECC). It requires a multidisciplinary approach between cardiologists, anesthesiologists and intensivists, perfusionists, cardiac surgeons and paramedical teams to optimize the management of the patient.
Purpose: The study aimed to determine whether intravenous administration of tanexamic acid (TXA) before shoulder arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery can improve arthroscopy visual clarity. Methods: This is a prospective, double-blinded, randomized and placebo-controlled study. From May 2016 to April 2018, patients requiring arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the TXA group that received 1000mg tranexamic acid intravenously 10 minutes before surgery or the placebo group that received the same volume of plain saline. Patients with pre-existing liver/renal disease, coagulopathy, or concurrent use of anti-coagulation medications were excluded. The visual clarity was rated by a numeric rating scale from grade 1(poor) to grade 3(clear) every 15 minutes throughout the surgery. Secondary outcomes included estimated perioperative blood loss, operative time, degree of shoulder swelling, postoperative subjective pain score, inpatient duration and associated comorbidities were recorded. Both parametric and nonparametric methods were used for statistical analysis.
This trial is a phase III multicentre blinded randomised controlled clinical non-inferiority trial of cryopreserved platelets vs. conventional liquid-stored platelets for the management of surgical bleeding. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and cost effectiveness of cryopreserved platelets, compared to conventional liquid-stored platelets, for the management of surgical bleeding. This trial will recruit cardiac surgical patients deemed to be at high risk of surgical bleeding and who may potentially require transfusion of platelets. It is estimated to require 808 high-risk cardiac surgical patients to be recruited, to obtain 202 patients who receive transfused study platelets for surgical bleeding.
Tonsillectomy is one of the commonest procedures performed in otolaryngology and one of its major complications is post-tonsillectomy bleeding. The goal of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Surgicel without bipolar cautery in achieving primary hemostasis in tonsillectomy. The patient that were enrolled in this retrospective study were patients who underwent tonsillectomy and achieved hemostasis either by Surgicel (group A) or bipolar cautery (group B). Our results showed that there was no statistical significant difference between the two techniques in terms of post-operative bleeding events.
The aim is to conduct a double-dummy multi-centre randomized controlled clinical trial of application of topical dose of tranexamic acid (TxA) versus the usual intravenous TxA in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the saline-coupled bipolar sealer compared to the unipolar electrocautery provides superior hemostasis in patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty. This will be a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, non-inferiority study in patients scheduled for a primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with Dr. Eugene Krauss or Dr. Ayal Segal. The restriction of this study to two surgeons will limit variations in the outcomes being measured due to differences in surgical technique.
transfusion-related decisions in the perioperative setting are often complex due to acute variations in the hemoglobin levels, which typically experience a progressive decrease within days. This process, commonly referred to as "hemoglobin drop" or "hemoglobin drift", has been observed to be highly variable among patients and reliant on several variables, such as the volemic status, fluid balance and blood loss. Although it has been investigated and some predictors have been identified, postoperative hemoglobin drop remains unpredictable and is not fully clarified. In consequence, hemoglobin levels' variations are frequently misunderstood, hindering the decision to transfuse.
The objective is to measure the adjusted association between preoperative anemia and total hospital costs. We hypothesize that patients with anemia before surgery will have higher hospitalization costs than people without anemia.
Comparative study on efficacy of haemostatic therapy guided either by standard laboratory coagulation parameters or point-of-care testing in patients undergoing vascular surgical procedures. We investigate the amount of perioperative bleeding and the number of blood product used. Inclusion criteria Patients scheduled for elective and acute open aorta surgery or undergoing acute aorta surgery with minimally invasive techniques and were provided treatment in the operating theatre and/or ICU attached to perioperative care, they must be at least 18 years of age and written informed consent was obtained from the patient or his/her legal representative. Randomisation technique Patients will be randomly assigned to each of two treatment groups using sealed envelopes. In group 1 (G1) haemostasis strategy guided by conventional coagulation tests, while in group 2 (G2) transfusion algorithms guided by point-of-care (POC) tests will be carried out. Sampling techniques and measurements For assessment of monitored parameters shall be used arterial or venous blood depending on the catheter placed preoperatively. In case of the above mentioned vascular surgical procedures, all patients will receive arterial cannula routinely, and, depending on the extension of procedure, as appropriate, a central venous catheter will be inserted as well. Sampling in the patient groups shall be performed as follows: - pre- and postoperative evaluation of standard laboratory parameters in all patients - evaluation of standard laboratory parameters and arterial Astrup test during and after surgery in group 1, if the blood loss volume reaches 1,5 ml/kg/minute during 20 minutes - in case of elective surgery: thromboelastometry and arterial Astrup test during and after surgery in group 2 if the blood loss volume reaches 1,5 ml/kg/minute during 20 minutes - in case of acute surgery: thromboelastometry and arterial Astrup test before, during and after surgery in group 2 - in case of positive anamnesis, preoperative platelet aggregation test in both groups Besides the above samplings, routine lab tests (blood gas, blood count, sodium (Na), potassium (K), parameters of renal and liver function, clotting and inflammation, lactic acid, blood sugar) will be performed every day as usual during intensive therapy.
