Filter by:The aim of study is to clarify the role of sugammadex in head and neck surgery patients with a prior history of urinary retention, benign prostatic hypertrophy, or a history of prostate cancer, to prevent postoperative urinary retention. The main question it aims to answer are: - Anticholinergic agent interferes the postoperative urination - Sugammadex does not interfere postoperative urination Sugammadex can be recommended for these patients with high risk in postoperative urinary retention in the future.
Management of postoperative urinary retention often requires the use of indwelling catheters. In a previous study, the investigators determined that patient removal of catheters at home is non-inferior to standard office removal on postoperative day three or four (POD3-4). The purpose of this study is to determine whether patient removal of catheters at home on postoperative day one (POD1) is noninferior to removal on POD 3-4.
The objectives of this study are to determine the efficacy of tamsulosin compared to placebo in reducing post-operative urinary retention and improving other clinical outcomes in people undergoing pulmonary surgery.
Postoperative urinary retention has been defined as the inability to void despite having fluid in the bladder during the postoperative period. Urinary retention after pelvic reconstructive surgery requiring indwelling catheter or self-catheterization usage occurs in approximately 30-60% of patients postoperatively. Our prior retrospective chart review reviewing postoperative urinary retention rates after pelvic reconstructive surgery demonstrated postoperative urinary retention after a sacrospinous vaginal vault suspension to be approximately 78.9%. Many women consider being discharged home with a Foley catheter to be a surgical complication and describe catheter use as the worst aspect of their surgery. Indwelling catheters are the leading cause of hospital-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs), are often a source of embarrassment and inconvenience for patients, and often require additional office visits and healthcare utilization. Tizanidine is a muscle relaxant which can work to alleviate this spasm and, theoretically, prevent postoperative urinary retention. Tizanidine also works as an alpha-adrenergic receptor blocker which can increase smooth muscle relaxation around the urethra specifically and, theoretically, improve urine flow. Postoperative urinary retention is extremely common after pelvic reconstructive surgery involving a sacrospinous vaginal vault suspension and is extremely bothersome to patients. Tizanidine is a low-risk, well tolerated, cost-effective medication. No study to date has evaluated preoperative administration of tizanidine for postoperative urinary retention.
Urinary retention is also a frequent complication after percutaneous coronary intervention applied via the femoral artery. The inability to manage this situation effectively leads to serious complications in the long term, prolonging the length of hospital stay and increasing the cost, as well as impairing the participants's comfort. In the investigators's country, no study has been found in which the effectiveness of an appropriate and effective lying position in performing urinary drainage in the bed in order to ensure urinary emptying and to minimize possible complications in participants undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention has been found. One study states that the modified supine position is an effective intervention on the amount of urine output in participants. In another study, it was determined that different degrees of bed height and position changes would be safe and effective in reducing regional pain and vascular complications (hematoma, bleeding, thrombosis, bruising, etc.). In this context, the aim of the study is to reveal the effect of the modified supine position on providing effective urinary drainage (hourly and 24-hour urine output) and preventing possible complications (urinary retention) in participants undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
The study will be a phase III double-blind randomized clinical trial. Participants will be recruited from the Department of General Surgery of the CHU de Québec - Saint-François-d'Assise and Hôtel-Dieu de Québec. The primary outcomes are the incidence of postoperative urinary retention in men undergoing rectal resection and the efficacy of prophylactic tamsulosin to prevent this type of complication.The secondary outcomes are the length of stay between experimental and placebo groups, the number of urinary catheterizations, the number of urine catheter reinsertions and total duration of urinary catheter being in-situ.
The goal of this single-centre prospective randomized clinical trial is to compare the post-operative use of temporary prostatic stent (Group 1) vs indwelling catheter (Group 2) in patients undergoing cryotherapy for targeted therapy of localized prostate cancer, transurethral water vapor energy ablation (REZUM) or transperineal laser ablation of the prostate with EchoLaser™ system for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) The main questions are: - Difference in quality of life, Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (scored with IPSS, International Prostate Symptom Score), urinary continence symptoms (scored with International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form, ICIQ-UI-SF) and patient satisfaction between indwelling catheter and temporary prostatic stent (Exime®) score with a non-validated questionnaire (Stent/catheter-related urinary symptoms questionnaire) - Difference in side effects and complications between indwelling catheter and temporary prostatic stent (Exime®) A total 120 of patients will be enrolled (Group 1: 60; Group 2: 60) with a 1:1 randomization ratio. The follow-up duration will be 6 months.
The ACCTUATE: Assessment of CymActive™ Catheter Technology for UrinAry reTention and acceptancE study will begin the formal evaluation of a novel catheter design that addresses the specific needs of people living in the community with long term catheterisation. The primary endpoint of the study will be tolerability by measuring AEs, SAEs, AESIs through day 91. VAS scale assessments (1-10) across insertions and interventions by clinicians. The secondary endpoint will be a comparison in the number of re-presentations of patients requiring treatment in primary or secondary care for recurrent CAUTIs in both arms of the study along with comparing both arms to their medical history through routine standard of care.
The study is seeking to understand the needs of patients and healthcare practitioners for an innovation in the way that changes in bladder function are assessed. This information will be used in the design and evaluation of a device, being developed in parallel, that assesses changes to the volume and flow of urine in order to determine changes in bladder function. In order to ensure development is optimal, the principal research objective is therefore to understand the needs of patients and healthcare practitioners (ranging from care home staff and GPs in primary care, to urologists in tertiary referral centres).
The purpose of this study are to determine the efficacy of tamsulosin compared to placebo in reducing post-operative urinary retention and improving other clinical outcomes in people undergoing thoracic surgery.
