Filter by:Aim of this prospective observational study is to investigate whether shock index(SI), modified shock index(MSI) and age related shock index(ASI) have any predictive value in predicting post-spinal hypotension which may develop in patients over 65 years of age, who are planned to undergo transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) surgery under spinal anesthesia.
The study is a retrospective cohort study of adult patients undergoing outpatient primary unilateral total knee or total hip replacement surgeries from 2017 to 2019 assessing for difference in anesthetic techniques and outcomes.
Quality of recovery is an important outcome measure in anaesthesia, whilst there are validated tools for this in surgery and regional anesthesia there are no fully validated tools for obstetrics anaesthesia. The aim of this study is to use the Obstetric Quality of Recovery (ObsQoR) score across multiple centres to assess correlation to length of stay and variation for different types of operative and non- operative delivery.
This study will validate the utility of a novel frailty index that uses ICD diagnoses to call frailty severity in a surgical cohort of patients 65 and older
The investigators propose a pilot clinical trial on the use of perioperative pregabalin in order to decrease ureteral stent related symptoms and decrease opioid usage after ureteroscopy with stent placement. Patients undergoing ureteroscopy with stent placement will receive a single dose of 300 mg pregabalin PO in the preoperative area. This work will assess safety and feasibility of studying this regimen at our institution, with the aim of performing a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study in the future.
Cognitive dysfunction is the impairment of the mental process of perception, memory and information processing. The preoperative cognitive state is important, as mild cognitive impairment may be worsened following a cesarean section. Our study will aim to assess the incidence of early cognitive dysfunction after elective and emergent cesarean section under general anesthesia.
Endotracheal tubes (ETT) and laryngeal mask airways (LMA) are devices used to help breathing whilst patients are asleep for surgery. Children may have a more satisfying experience if the rate of of post operative sore throat (POST) and hoarseness (PH) could be reduced. The incidence of POST and PH may be as high as 42% in children undergoing anesthesia. ETTs and LMAs require inflation of a cuff after insertion to obtain a seal to a patient's airway for them to be effective. It is recommended that cuff pressures are checked after insertion and inflation with a pressure checking device but this does not occur in all routine anesthetic practice. Overinflation of these cuffs may cause damage to the airway by exerting pressure on surrounding structures. Studies have shown both children and adults to have increased risk of POST with higher LMA pressure. The number of times it takes to successfully insert a LMA has also been associated with POST as has female gender and older age. Similarly to LMAs, multiple insertion attempts of ETT insertion, female gender and a larger size are more likely to cause POST and PH. Although patients with uncuffed have a higher incidence of POST than those with a cuffed ETT, when using cuffed tubes ETT, POST occurs more often as cuff pressure increases and should therefore be routinely measured. The location of a patient's sore throat may vary. It may be intermittent or constant, or described as difficulty in swallowing, painful swallowing or hoarse voice and may there may be difference locations within the throat. In the current literature there is no one definition of what constitutes a sore throat or how or when it should be measured. The hypothesis is that occurrence and severity of POST could be determined by various factors other than the pressure of the cuff alone. In particular, the pressure of cuff, the duration of anesthesia, the airway manipulations, could all be factors determining the occurrence of postoperative sore throat. Based on the above hypothesis, Investigators planed to perform a prospective cohort study. Aims: to determine the occurrence and severity of post-anaesthesia sore throat in children undergoing surgical procedures with LMA or ETT placement. If clear factors are demonstrated for POST and PH in pediatric population then measures can be taken to reduce them and thereby improve outcome and patient satisfaction.
This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing oxygen delivery by nasal mask with continuous positive airway pressure versus standard care (nasal cannula or standard facemask) during propofol-based sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures to reduce the incidence of hypoxia. The primary outcome will be the rate of oxygen desaturation below 90% for ≥15 seconds.
Hip fracture is a global public health problem. The postoperative mortality and disability rate of hip fracture is high, and early surgery is still the most effective treatment method, but these patients are often associated with concurrent heart and lung and other organ dysfunction, anesthesia and surgery are extremely risky, mainly associated with high incidence of complications in the pulmonary and cardiovascular system, and anesthesia plays a vital role in ensuring that these patients can safely and effectively get through the perioperative period. The research on the relationship between anesthetic methods and hip fracture surgery prognosis mainly focuses on comparison between neuraxial anesthesia (including spinal anesthesia and epidural anesthesia) and general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation until now. In addition to general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and neuraxial anesthesia, ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block has been widely used in hip fracture surgery in recent years, especially for some high-risk patients with cardiopulmonary dysfunction. However, it is not clear whether ultrasound-guided combined lumbar plexus and sacral plexus block with sedative anesthesia can improve the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture, and in this study, we plan to make a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the effects of general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and ultrasound-guided combined lumbar plexus and sacral plexus block with sedative anesthesia on the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture to clarify the clinical value of combined lumbar plexus and sacral plexus block with sedative anesthesia in elderly patients with hip fracture.
In this study we try to review the possible effects when using modern hydroxyethylstarch solutions 6 % versus albumin 5% during living donor renal transplantation.
