Filter by:Animal studies suggest general anaesthetics harm the developing brain. It is unclear if these findings are relevant to humans but the issue has become a major concern. Recent data have found that monkeys exposed to anaesthesia as infants grow up to have slower learning than those not exposed. The aim of the TREX pilot study is to determine the feasibility of an alternative anaesthetic regimen for lower abdominal/lower extremity surgery in infants 1-12 months of age.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of outcomes in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) at BCH and to identify preoperative demographic and behavioral data as well as intraoperative and anesthetic predictors of adverse PACU outcomes. The investigators hypothesize quality of PACU outcomes will correlate with preoperative demographic and behavioral characteristics as well as intraoperative and anesthetic procedures/techniques. This study will help the investigators improve post anesthetic care quality and create a higher level of satisfaction for patients, family, and health care providers.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a new cordless ultrasonic dissection system.
International multicenter observational study of a random-sample cohort of patients undergoing any in-hospital surgical procedure under general or regional anaesthesia during a continued 14-day period of recruitment. Primary hypothesis of this study is that the use of muscle relaxants, their reversal agents, or neuromuscular monitoring increases the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. The secondary hypothesis is that the use of muscle relaxants increases in-hospital mortality.
This study evaluates whether using information from a special arterial blood pressure monitor to guide how much fluid is given during surgery changes how long a patient stays in the hospital after the surgery. There is scientific evidence from using similar information from different devices that this technique might allow us to do a better job giving fluids during surgery and that this may be associated with shorter hospital stay after surgery.
The aim of this study is to determine the postoperative course including effects on the quality of life following soft palate surgery with radiofrequency knife (RAUP).
A Phase 2 Randomized Double-Blind Active-Controlled Study in Subjects Exposed to Cardio-pulmonary Bypass During Cardiac Surgery at High Risk of Bleeding
The purpose of this study is to compare the long-term clinical and radiological results of operative and conservative treatment of Tossy type 3 acromio-clavicular dislocation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and identify the optimal dose(s) of ecallantide in reducing blood loss in subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery including the use of cardio pulmonary bypass.
The primary hypothesis tested in this project is that the preoperative behavioral stress response predicts postoperative behavioral and clinical recovery of children undergoing surgery.
