Filter by:US-guided femoral nerve block is used effectively in post-operative pain management in the surgical treatment of the lower extremity. However, the volume and concentration of the local anesthetic drug to be administered remains controversial. In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded study, patients who underwent unilateral primary total knee arthroplasty and successfully performed spinal anesthesia with standard method and dosage, will be selected for US-guided femoral nerve block after the operation. Patients will be divided into three groups with simple randomization. The First group will be determined as the control group (GCont) and only dressing will be applied to the patients. For second group(G125), 0,125% 20 ml local anesthetic and for the third group (G25), 0,25% 10 ml local anesthetic will be administered to the femoral nerve without changing the drug dose (25 mg bupivacaine). Whether there is a difference between post-op analgesia durations, motor block formation, mobilization time and 90° flexion time between the groups will be investigated.
Methods National audit of a 60-day prospective observational cohort in the that the pre-defined postoperative complications at 30 days of follow-up in adult patients electively undergoing hip replacement surgery (HRS) or knee replacement surgery (KRS) with or without a program of Enhanced Recovery (ERAS: Enhanced Recovery after Surgery) with any level of protocol compliance (0-100%) Research Places Spanish Hospitals where these surgical interventions are performed usually Objectives To determine the incidence of Postoperative Complications per patient and procedure, regardless of the degree of adherence to ERAS protocols and its impact on the Hospital Stay and on postoperative complications including 30-day mortality Sample Size For an alpha error of 5% (95% confidence and an accuracy of 3% and estimating a number of patients with complications of 50%, the calculation of sample size yields 3012 patients, although the final sample size may be smaller depending on the proportion of complications detected. Inclusion criteria Patients over 18 undergoing elective HRS or KRS PTC regardless of its affiliation to a ERAS program and the level of compliance with protocol (from 0-100%) Statistical analysis Continuous variables will be described as mean and standard deviation, if it is a normal distribution, or median and interquartile range, if they are not distributed normally. The comparisons of continuous variables are performed by one-way ANOVA or the Mann-Whitney test, depending on proceed A univariate analysis will be carried out to test the factors associated with postoperative complications, hospital stay and death in Hospital. Univariate analyzes and logistic regression models will be constructed Hierarchical multivariate to identify the factors associated in a independent with these results and to adjust the differences in the factors of confusion. The factors will be introduced in the models based on their relationship with the univariate result (p <0.05), the biological plausibility and the low rate of missing data.
For millennia, people have listened to and enjoyed music for entertainment, as a distraction from daily troubles, and as a means to relax and relieve stress. It is no real surprise that the relaxing and stress-relieving effects of music have been shown in patients having surgery. For patients having surgery with spinal anesthesia, music therapy during the operation decreases sedation requirements, anxiety and may improve patient satisfaction. Music therapy during surgery may also lead to a decreased stress response, as evidenced by more stable cortisol levels. Studies done previously have included patients undergoing various surgical procedures, however no studies have been done specifically for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Because total knee arthroplasty is a common procedure usually done under spinal anesthesia at our institution, we would like to study the effects music therapy could have on our patient population.
This study compares the use of sharp dissection with diathermy for the approach to a total knee replacement. Half of the patients will be randomly assigned each intervention.
The objective of this trial is to compare the efficacy of three different nerve blocks as an analgesic option after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), based on muscle strength, mobilization and pain. The Adductor Canal Block has been proposed as an equally effective technique to the Femoral Nerve Block in terms of pain control after a TKA, with the benefit of preserving muscle function. We hypothesize that a block performed at the apex of the femoral triangle would best balance analgesia with quadriceps function.
JointCOACH is a web-based communication platform that enables joint replacement patients to communicate with their care team via computer or smartphone throughout their episode of care, from the time that surgery is scheduled until at least 90 days postoperatively.
The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness and results of orthopedic patients having access to a cell phone App called HealthLoop to utilize during the postoperative time period, compared to patients who have the usual postoperative management. The researchers want to investigate whether there any differences in outcomes and satisfaction in patients and providers.
Total Knee Arthroplasty is becoming an increasingly common operation. An important part of a successful overall patient outcome is regaining functional range of motion after surgery. Wearable devices for fitness have become increasingly common. This study seeks to utilize wearable technology to enhance the post-operative rehabilitation experience by allowing patients and surgeons to monitor patient recovery in real time. The Consensus TracPatch is a wearable device which utilizes an accelerometer, temperature sensor and step count to monitor patient recovery. This tool provides critical, real-time information that may offer a more complete source of data to understand a patient's postoperative clinical and rehabilitation course and guide physician postoperative management. The study hypothesizes that this new technology will improve patient postoperative mobility and patient-physician communication.
In this cohort study, we will investigate short and long term outcomes after knee replacement surgery and identify preoperative and early postoperative factors associated with long term outcome.
This study aims to investigate the effect of Smart Kneebrace use for osteoarthritis patients after total knee arhtroplasty (TKA) on post-operative performance.
