Filter by:The study objective is to determine if intranasal dexmedetomidine is a safe and effective sedative drug during small painful procedures in the pediatric emergency room. Patients of the pediatric emergency room at Oulu university hospital with any medical condition requiring a small painful procedure like i.v. cannulation or lumbar puncture are asked to join the investigator's study if they would seem to benefit from a sedative drug during the procedure. Patients are randomly assigned to treatment group receiving intranasal dexmedetomidine 1µg/kg and to placebo group receiving 4,5% saline solution. The primary outcome is the success of the procedure. Cardiovascular and respiratory effects, the pain experienced by the patient, sedation scores and duration of crying are also monitored.
To compare the EEG power spectra activity during propofol-based anesthesia in the presence or absence of dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing hysteroscopic examination and surgery to determine whether the addition of dexmedetomidine will induce better sleep-like anesthesia status.
Prospective association study to analyse patients' outcome after bariatric surgery. Outcome comprises postoperative pain, analgesia, postoperative side-effects, long-lasting pain, patients' impairment in daily living.
The aim of the preoperative assessment clinic (PAC) is to ensure optimal anaesthesia, reduce the morbidity associated with surgery, to increase the quality and decrease the cost of perioperative care 1. In addition, the PAC is an appropriate time to educate the patient on anaesthesia, perioperative care, and pain treatments, to reduce anxiety, to develop care plans, and to obtain informed consent. Moreover, a strong correlation exists between the time spent at the PAC and patient satisfaction2,3. A high variability of preoperative assessment clinic (PAC) times is a reason for waiting time for patient. A better match between the reserved PAC time and the real consultation time could improved efficiency in consultation theatre. The PAC time depends on various parameters. On average the preoperative assessment of patients with a higher American Society Anesthesiologists' (ASA) class requires more time 4. In other monocentric study, the mean (SD) procedure time was 13 (6) min for the physician. It was significantly longer for patients with a higher ASA class : 10 min for ASA I, 14 min for ASA II, 17 min for ASA III and 21 min for ASA IV patients. In this monocentric study, every patient had a nurse consultation before PAC by the anesthesiologist. The primary endpoint of this study was to assess the time involved in preoperative assessment clinic included the time during patient's health status has to be assessed (this encompasses a medical history and physical examination) and the time during the patient education on anaesthesia, perioperative care and pain treatments, to reduce anxiety, to develop care plans and to obtain informed consent.
In this research study we want to learn more about using non-invasive tools as a way to predict whether or not a child under general anesthesia will require and respond to fluid administration. It is important for an anesthesiologist to know if a child would respond to fluid administration so that they can provide the optimal intervention for low blood pressure and avoid unnecessary treatment.
This study is going to research the hypothesis that to strengthen the comprehensive treatment of perioperative anesthesia is possible to improve the prognosis of patients with hip fracture and reduce mortality. This is a randomized controlled pilot study aimed to elderly patients with hip fracture on one side and needing surgical treatment.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profile of anesthetics and analgesics in children and adolescents.
Cystoscopy is a simple, effective and reliable method in current urological practice. Anesthesia may be required in cystoscopy for therapeutic purpose, however it may not be necessary for diagnostic cystoscopy. General anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, epidural anaesthesia and senile block methods may be performed in therapeutic cystoscopy. Pain is main reason of failed cystoscopy. Sedo-analgesia and LMA are generally used for diagnostic cystoscopies. LMA is mostly placed under general anesthesia with the combination of propofol-fentanyl and volatile anesthetics. There is no need for muscle relaxant administration in LMA placement, as it is necessary for intubation. However if muscle relaxant is not used, side effects like hiccup, straining, cough, undesirable muscle movement, hypoxia and laryngeal spasm may be observed. For the improvement of the patient comfort the use of effective muscle relaxants are described in several studies in literature. This study aimed to reveal the quality of anesthesia, hemodynamics, surgical comfort, extra propofol need and recovery time while low dose of muscle relaxant rocuronium was added to propofol-fentanyl combination for LMA placement.
This study evaluates the correlation between NoL index response to standardized stimulus under general anesthesia and the post-operative pain, assessed by opioid consumption and numerical pain scores after video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS).
So far, only vital signs (mostly, blood pressure and heart rate) helped the anesthesiologist to administer hypnotic agents or analgesics. Many devices have offered pain monitoring for anesthetized patients, the most recent being the PMD200 device and its NoL index. The BIS index is widely used for depth of anesthesia monitoring. The hypothesis of this study is that the intraoperative combination of both the NoL and the BIS indices to guide the delivery of opioids and hypotonics respectively, will improve the quality of recovery as well as the safety after anesthesia in ERAS patients undergoing colonic surgery.
