Filter by:In Taiwan, the number of patients who underwent abdominal surgery that attributed to gastrointestinal diseases, gynecological diseases, and cancer is increasing. Practically, some of the patients have unsatisfactory response to conventional medical treatment, which result in abnormal gastrointestinal function, prolonged bedtime, and increased hospital stay, as well as an increased risk of infection. Therefore, search for an effective and safe treatment that could be integrated to current medical treatment is of importance in the care of such patients. Being with a long period of clinical experience and evidence-based curative effect, acupuncture could be applied as an adjunctive treatment for the complications of abdominal surgery. Currently, this patient-centered, pragmatic clinical trial compares the efficacy of using conventional medication alone and a combination of electroacupuncture and conventional drugs. The aim of this study is trying to explore acceptable and beneficial strategy to reduce the clinical symptoms, to improve quality of life, and decrease medical expenses.
Phase III, Prospective, Multinational, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Two-arm, Double Blind Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of D-PLEX Administered Concomitantly with the Standard of Care (SoC), Compared to a SoC Treated Control Arm, in Prevention of Post Abdominal Surgery Incisional Infection.
The Physiological Monitoring Device (PMD-200™) system is comprised of a monitor and a designated finger probe containing 4 sensors. The sensors included are Photoplethysmography (PPG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Accelerometer for movement (ACC) and Thermistor for peripheral temperature (TMP). The PMD-200 is intended to be used for assessing the nociception level in anesthetized patients. The purpose of the study is confirmation of a reduction in the dosage of remifentanil allowed by the monitoring of nociception by the NOL which could open the way to a double control of the administration of anesthetic agents: control of the administration of hypnotics by the bispectral index (BIS) and control of the administration of opiate by the NOL.
FALCON is a Pragmatic multi-centre trial testing measures to reduce superficial or deep skin infection following abdominal surgery in low and middle income countries. The trial will recruit patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Recruited participants will be randomly assigned to four arms to receive different combinations of skin preparation and sutures for would closure: A. In this arm surgeon will use 2% alcoholic chlorhexidine for skin cleansing and non-coated suture for wound closure; B. In this arm surgeon will use 2% alcoholic chlorhexidine for skin cleansing and triclosan coated suture for wound closure; C. In this arm surgeon will use for operation 10% aqueous povidone-iodine for skin cleansing and non-coated suture for wound closure; D. In this arm surgeon will use 10% aqueous povidone-iodine for skin cleansing and triclosan-coated suture.
