Filter by:General anesthesia is frequently used in daily clinical practice. Elderly patients often require a higher level of care than younger patients during the perioperative period, with higher health care costs. Strategies to optimize anesthesia care to reduce complications and improve outcomes in elderly surgical patients will also be of great value to the individual patients and society.
Medicines with peptide-1 receptor agonist action similar to glucagon (GLP-1) are a modern therapeutic option for obesity and diabetes mellitus. Semaglutide is a representative of this class medication whose mechanism of action can result in the slowing of gastric emptying and reduced gastric motility, a scenario that can increase the risk of pulmonary aspiration in individuals undergoing anesthesia and despite adequate fasting. Given the severity of the occurrence of bronchoaspiration, the action biological analysis of GLP-1 analogues on gastric function and incremental use of these medications, through gastric ultrasound, we will aim to evaluate the gastric contents of volunteers who do not have risk factors for bronchoaspiration, who will not undergo anesthesia, but are with the fasting recommended for this purpose and are using semaglutide, an analogue of GLP-1. Our hypothesis is that the majority of individuals using these medications have a full stomach even during fasting times recommended in the literature. In view of this, for this population we must adapt safety criteria during the anesthetic procedure.

Identification of risk factors that cause a high probability of an unfavorable outcome in the postoperative period is an urgent problem. The creation of national databases (registries) makes it possible to maximally cover a certain patient population by identifying its characteristic risk predictors. As literature data show, existing registries differ in the criteria for inclusion in the study, in the characteristics of the populations studied, and there is often no common view on the classification of postoperative outcomes. Goal of a study is a creation of a Russian national calculator for the risk of postoperative complications and mortality. Two-level observational retrospective-prospective study was planned. Setting: National multicenter study of surgical inpatients. Patients: Adult patients undergoing elective and emergency surgery. Types of interventions: in obstetrics, in gynecology, on the breast, in urology and kidneys, in endocrine surgery, in maxillofacial surgery, in orthopedics and traumatology, on the lower floor of the abdominal cavity, on the liver and biliary tract, on the upper floor of the abdominal cavity cavities, in thoracic surgery, in vascular surgery, in neurosurgery, in cardiac surgery, in other areas (with mandatory specification). The study was organized by the Federation of Anesthesiologists and Reanimatologists of Russia. Primary (30-day mortality, 30-day complications) and secondary (hospital mortality, hospital complications, length of stay in anesthesiology, resuscitation and intensive care departments, length of hospital stay, multiple organ failure (2 or more points on the SOFA scale (Sequential)) Organ Failure Assessment), 90-day mortality, 90-day complications, intensive care after-effects syndrome, readmission, 1-year mortality) outcomes were determined. The required sample size and statistical analysis methods are described. The planned duration of the study is 2024-2028.
Following orthoptopic heart transplantation (OHT), children undergo surveillance cardiac catheterizations to assess for signs of rejection including muscle biopsy as well as pressure measurements to guide post transplant treatment regiments. These procedures are done under general anesthesia which promotes lung tissue collapse (atelectasis). What is not known is the effect of atelectasis on intracardiac pressures which are a critical area of monitoring post-transplant patients for rejection.
The primary objective of this quality improvement intervention is to test the efficacy of excessive fresh gas flow alerting in the electronic medical record for anesthesia providers.
Controlling the amount of fluids given to patients in perioperative setting can significantly influence their outcomes.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether a virtual reality based preparation method can efficiently decrease the proportion of children requiring general anesthesia during MRI examinations. Participants will take part in a virtual reality environment resembling an MRI before their scheduled MRI examination. Researchers will compare these children to usual care and a booklet based preparation method to see if less children need anesthesia for completing the MRI examination.
The objective of this proposal is to conduct a prospective randomized study comparing the utility of sedating patients undergoing transesophageal echocardiographic studies with a novel, recently-FDA-approved sedative agent, remimazolam, versus the sedative used in our current practice at UAB, propofol. This study will investigate whether remimazolam offers any benefit over current care vis-à-vis hemodynamics or efficiency/throughput. This study will be conducted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. All outpatients and inpatients scheduled for elective/non-emergent TEE in the UAB Heart and Vascular Center TEE lab will be considered for enrollment.
Pain management in patients undergoing neurosurgery is a very important issue. The effectiveness of USG-guided scalp blocks for pain management in craniotomy surgery is currently not known. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided scalp block when performed in patients who undergo supratentorial craniotomies.
