Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the utility of fibrinolysis when draining an abdominal abscess as defined by length of stay after drainage.
The objective of this study is to establish the efficacy of tPA when used in pediatric intra-abdominal abscesses immediately after percutaneous drainage, irrespective of the ultrasound appearance or consistency of the drained fluid.
The role of complement system in bridging innate and adaptive immunity has been confirmed in various invasive pathogens. The aim of this study is to investigate the alteration of complement C3 in patients with severe abdominal sepsis and evaluate the role of complement C3 depletion in prognosis of such patients. The relationship between complement C3 depletion and adaptive immunity is studied meanwhile.
Despite performing colonic surgery with strict asepsia measures, minimizing the contact of the colon lumen with the peritoneum, some contamination is nearly impossible to avoid. In stapled anastomosis, the hole opened in the colon is minimum, just the necessary for introducing the parts of the mechanical devices. In handsewn anastomosis, the colonic lumen is more exposed to the peritoneum, despite the colonic occlusion with clamps meanwhile the suture is performed. Hypothesis: After stapled anastomoses, the peritoneal contamination should be lower than after handsewn ones.
According to retrospective studies the conservative management of periappendicular abscess is associated with decreased complication and re-operation rate compared with open appendectomy. Large abscesses require percutaneous drainage. Sometimes percutaneous drainage is not possible because of anatomical position of the abscess and surgical treatment is needed. The purpose of this study is evaluate whether laparoscopic appendectomy is suitable for the first-line treatment in patients with periappendicular abscess. The hypothesis of the study is that laparoscopic management of periappendicular abscess is suitable for the first-line treatment and it does not increase time of hospitalization or complication rate compared with conservative management.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of doripenem compared with meropenem in children hospitalized with complicated intra-abdominal infections.
This study is a local, prospective, open-label, company-sponsored, non interventional, multi-center study. Patients documented must suffer from a cIAI and take at least one dose of Moxifloxacin infusion.The primary objective is to define the types of cIAI infections that require Moxifloxacin i.v. therapy in China.
Despite a substantial decrease in postoperative mortality, morbidity after pancreatic resections is still high, even at high-volume centers. It has been recently suggested that early removal of postoperative drainages is associated to a decreased rate of intra-abdominal complications, with particular regard to pancreatic fistula. Furthermore, our research group demonstrated that measuring amylase value in drainages (AVD) on postoperative day 1 plays a cardinal role in predicting the developement of abdominal complications, including pancreatic fistula. In particular, patients with an AVD lower than 5000 IU/L in postoperative day 1 were considered at low risk of fistula. Therefore, the investigators designed a randomized prospective trial on early (postoperative day 3) versus standard (postoperative day 5) drainages removal after pancreatic resections in patients at low risk of developing pancreatic fistula (AVD < 5000 IU/L in postoperative day 1) to test whether drainages "per se" influence postoperative complication rates and to eventually validate a fast-track policy in pancreatic resections.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of 'high' versus 'low' volume intraoperative fluid administration (Ringer Lactate, RL) on intra- and postoperative parameters, in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery (i.e., gastric bypass), in order to establish evidence-based data for perioperative fluid management in this patient population. Based on their experience as well as several reports in the literature, the investigators hypothesized that a restrictive approach to intraoperative hydration will reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and the recovery time of gastrointestinal (GI) function, and shorten hospital stay.
The objective of this study is to collect the safety and efficacy data of Eraxis IV (anidulafungin) 100 mg according to Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety regulations.
