Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the incidence of bradycardia during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does bradycardia really occurs during pneumoperitoneum/laparoscopic surgery? - If the patient get Glycopyrrolate, Does it really prevent pneumoperitoneum/laparoscopic surgery induced bradycardia?
Patients with difficult-to-treat epilepsy ("refractory epilepsy") are at high risk of sudden death: sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Cardiac arrhythmias are one of the possible causes of SUDEP. When monitoring in the hospital setting, the frequency of cardiac arrhythmias in people with epilepsy is low: 0,4%. However, when a subcutaneous implantable device (Reveal XT) is used to monitor heart rhythm continuously for an extended period of time, the frequency of clinically relevant arrhythmias appeared much higher in two small observational studies (n=19): 6-20%. The aim of this study is to analyze the frequency and underlying mechanism of cardiac arrhythmias in a larger group of 50 people with refractory epilepsy with Reveal XT. In the future, this may help us to identify those epilepsy patients at high risk of cardiac arrhythmias, so that we can timely institute preventive measures (e.g. pacemaker implantation).
The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of the presence or absence of cardiac activity by bedside ultrasound during cardiac arrest. The investigators anticipate based on previous research that patients who suffer a cardiac arrest and have cardiac activity on bedside ultrasound will have a greater chance of surviving to hospital admission. The investigators hypothesis is that the mortality rate in patients in cardiac arrest with no cardiac activity by ultrasound will have a mortality rate of 100%.
