Filter by:Open-heart surgeries such as coronary artery bypass grafting and valve replacements have been used to improve patient outcomes related to cardiac symptoms, prolongation of life, and health-related quality of life. Recovery from cardiac surgery is not entirely determined by physical attributes and medical treatment, but social and psychological factors may also influence the process of postoperative short and long-term recovery. The objective of this study is to find out the Comparative Effects of Buteyko Exercise and Corpse-Pose Technique on Physical Health and Quality of Life in Post-Cardiac Surgery Patients. This study will be a Randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in Faisalabad institute of cardiology after ethical approval. The study will be completed within the duration of 10 months after approval of synopsis. Nonprobability convenience sampling technique will be used. The sample size of 46 patients will be taken: 25 post-cardiac surgery patients in each group with a 10% attrition rate. There will be two groups in this study one will be given with the Buteyko breathing technique and other will be provided with corpse-pose technique. Treatment protocol for both techniques will be 4 weeks with 3 sets per day. A pre assessment at week 1 and a final assessment at week 4 will be made by using SF-36 questionnaire. Data will be analyzed on SPSS-25.
Our study first aims to develope a realistic cadaver model of hemoptysis based on Thiel's embalmed cadavers. Secondly, participants will intubate the hemoptysis cadaver model with (a) the direct laryngoscopy with MacIntosh blade, (b) the videolaryngoscopy with McGrath XBlade and (c) the videolaryngoscopy with McGrath XBlade and a suction advance before the optic of the camera. We hypothesis that, in simulated hemoptysis on the Thiel's embalmed cadaver, the rate of failed intubation at first try will be different depending on the laryngoscope used.
Objectives and rationale: Optimal burn management involves removing all the dead or burned tissue as early as feasible and cover with an autograft called split thickness skin graft (STSG) taken from the patient. This procedure creates a new wound on the patient and sometimes, when the burn covers very large portion of the patient body, there is a lack of healthy skin to use for this purpose. Under those circumstances, donated cadaver skin is used as a temporary coverage until the patient´s own donor site wound has healed enough to be used again. The proposed clinical study aims to determine if treatment with fish skin is an alternative to cadaver skin as a temporary coverage for debrided full-thickness burns prior to STSG in terms of autograft take, time to heal, quality of healing (scarring), pain and adverse effects.
Background: The use of simulation and cadaveric laboratory training are highly beneficial for faculty and advanced trainees, but its usefulness for third-year medical students rotating through OB-GYN or general surgery is unknown. Objective: To determine if a two-day intensive, cost-effective review of procedural skills and anatomy using the simulation laboratory and cadaver-based dissection improves performance of third-year medical students on the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Shelf and USMLE Step 2 board examination and during pre- and post-test demonstrations. Significance: If proven effective, implementation of a short, inexpensive, and comprehensive course highlighting anatomical and procedural skills during the third year of medical school could be implemented. Design Methods: The investigators will conduct a 1:1 randomization of third-year medical students rotating at all Mayo sites (Jacksonville, Rochester, and Scottsdale). The students will either participate in traditional education (N=20) as is currently taking place or traditional education plus cadaver-based/simulation-based learning (N=20). Third-year medical students rotating in OB-GYN or surgery will be eligible to enroll. Anticipated Outcomes: Knowledge-based examination results as well as performance outcomes will be improved and procedural skills and overall satisfaction will be increased.
