Filter by:1. Interscalene continuous catheter is a very effective way of controlling pain in total shoulder arthroplasty. To ensure proper placement, nerve stimulating catheter is quite often used. 2. Ultrasound can help proper placement of catheter without relying on nerve stimulation. 3. The plan of the study is to compare two techniques head to head to see if they are equally effective or one is better than others.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the cardiovascular changes during early postoperative mobilization of hip arthroplasty patients.
The main purpose of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to compare the concentrations of metal ions in the blood and urine of patients receiving implants that are identical except for the acetabular component: one is a monoblock and all cobalt chrome, and the other is modular with a titanium acetabular shell with a polyethylene insert.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a higher threshold for transfusion with red blood cells improves the postoperative ambulation.
Post-Approval Study (PMA CoA) in Order to Obtain Additional Long Term Safety and Effectiveness Data [PMA P020016]
Ten patients 70 years and older having elective total hip/knee replacement surgery will be recruited to receive a continuous IV infusion of naloxone and oral tramacet for analgesia. Postoperative analgesia, satisfaction, side effects, need for rescure analgesia, and length of stay.
The purpose of this study is to gain additional safety information as well as to determine after the study drug has been given to patients who have undergone total hip replacement surgery, whether the study drug is effective in preventing late deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in legs) or pulmonary embolism (blood clots in lungs).
