Filter by:The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare a liberal versus restrictive oxygen supply (fraction of inspired oxygen, FiO2) strategy in patients scheduled for thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation during lung isolation. The primary and secondary outcome parameters are: - oxygenation of the blood after 30 minutes of one-lung ventilation, assessed by PaO2/FiO2 ratio - time to lung collapse after start of one-lung ventilation Participants in the control goup will receive an oxygen content of 100% before lung isolation, which will be subsequently decreased to achieve normoxia or mild hyperoxia (PaO2 of 75-120 mmHg). The intervention group will receive the previous, during two-lung ventilation set, oxygen content and after lung isolation oxygen supply will be increased to secure adequate oxygenation of the blood (PaO2 75-120 mmHg) during one-lung ventilation. The investigators hypothesize, that a higher fraction of inspired oxygen may impede hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction of the collapsed lung and thus decrease overall oxygenation performance during one-lung ventilation. Secondary endpoint will be the time to lung collapse, as a lower fraction of inspired oxygen and thus a higher nitrogen content may impede lung collapse.
Exploring the optimal interval time in patients with the clinical diagnosis of lung cancer or mediastinal tumors indicated for thoracic surgeries after SARS-CoV-2 infection by comparing 30-day mortality and 30-day morbidity.
The aim of the present work was to evaluate if the presence on the operating field of a 3D printed personalized model of the pulmonary anatomy of a patient operated by full thoracoscopy for an anatomical segmentectomy, makes it possible to reduce the mental workload and the fatigue of the surgeon.
The most commonly treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is lobectomy. Different surgical interventions during lobectomy are thought to have different effects on respiratory functions and exercise capacities. The aim of this study was to evaluate respiratory muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, and diaphragmatic thickness in groups that underwent lobectomy with standard thoracotomy, muscle sparing thoracotomy, and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
This study is a quasi-experimental (non-randomized) design study with control and study group patients undergoing open heart surgery. The main purpose of the research to examine the effect of the care bundle application on the quality of recovery and respiratory patterns (respiratory rate, presence of dyspnea, oxygen saturation, etc.) in patients with open heart surgery. The other purpose is examine the compliance rates of nurses in the implementation of the cardiac surgery care bundle on patients. In the study, nurses working in the cardiovascular surgery clinic and surgical intensive care unit in a training and research hospital in southeast Turkey voluntarily applied the care bundle created by the researcher to the patients in the study group. When the data of the study were examined, it was seen that the respiratory patterns and recovery status of the patients who received the care bundle were better. However, it was determined that the compliance rate of the nurses to the care bundle was not at the desired level.
The home confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has aroused the need to use telematic communication systems to provide remote treatments. More and more research is being done on preoperative respiratory physiotherapy in patients undergoing thoracic surgery with lung cancer. It is a treatment that has great relevance in the prevention of postoperative complications and in the quality of life of the patient. Therefore, this study is proposed to highlight the applicability of a telematic system of preoperative physiotherapy treatment with the FISSIOS application at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCSP).
Despite significant advances in perioperative care, major complications continue to be seen in patients undergoing major surgery. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are perioperative care practices designed to reduce perioperative complications, maintain preoperative organ function, and provide early recovery by reducing the psychological and physiological response to major surgery and the intense stress response that develops following surgery. In this context, ERAS protocols have been established for many surgical procedures. One is the thoracic ERAS (ERATS) protocol applied to thoracic surgery, and the evidence for ERATS is increasing; literature data support the application of ERATS. However, there are limited studies on the application of ERAS protocols to thoracic surgery, and more studies are needed to develop ERATS protocols. Postoperative complications may be reduced in patients who are treated with the ERAS protocol, their length of hospital stay (LOS) may be shortened, and patients may regain their initial functions faster. Objectively, a marker indicating whether the ERAS protocol can be implemented effectively has not yet been demonstrated. Reducing postoperative inflammation is thought to reduce LOS. Based on this, the investigators think that the early recovery seen in patients who undergo ERAS is due to the effect of ERAS protocols on the inflammatory process. Therefore, laboratory parameters such as C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte/monocytes ratio (LMR) may differ in patients who have undergone the ERAS protocol compared to patients who have not. These parameters have been evaluated comprehensively in studies as inflammatory parameters. In addition, clinical studies indicate that the C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) can be used as inflammatory and prognostic markers. Also, the investigators hypothesized that inflammatory parameters used in routine clinical follow-up may be effective in evaluating the clinical consequences of ERATS protocols. In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of the ERATS protocol on postoperative inflammatory parameters and investigate whether these parameters have a role in evaluating the effectiveness of the ERATS protocol.
The purpose of the LCCC 2202 is to evaluate the barriers and facilitators to implementing perioperative "ePRO monitoring". This study will inform a future hybrid effectiveness study (LCCC 2141:Improving Thoracic Surgical Care Using Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePROS). Eligible thoracic surgery patients will be enrolled to ePRO monitoring using web-based or telephone surveys. Patients will be asked to self-report symptoms for remote monitoring by their care team. Patients will be approached for a semi-structured interview to understand the barriers and facilitators to ePRO use.
Evaluation of a service OFA (Opioid-free Anesthesia) protocol on post-operative pain of patients operated on by video-thoracoscopic carcinologic surgery by counting them to a group of patients receiving standard general anesthesia with opioid.
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) has become a standard of care in adults, pediatric surgeons have been slower to undertake this approach. There are limitations for working in children. The site of a chest tube becomes the working site for thoracoscopic surgery and the only scar. We propose this study to do a retrospective review comparing the conventional multiport thoracic surgery with the newer single port site.
