Filter by:Postoperative agitation is an important complication of general anesthesia, moreover, it has been found with high incidence in ear, nose, throat (ENT) surgeries. We aim to study whether anterior ethmoidal nerve block will be successful in reducing postoperative agitation in those patients. Study population will be randomized into two groups, treatment and control group. Anterior ethmoidal nerve block will be done in treatment group and postoperative agitation compared between these two groups. Agitation score will be scored with Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale (SAS). Ho: Occurrence of post-operative agitation in patients undergoing nasal surgery with nasal pack under general anesthesia is equal in those with ethmoidal nerve block as compared to those without the block. Ha: Occurrence of post-operative agitation in patients undergoing nasal surgery with nasal pack under general anesthesia is not equal in those with ethmoidal nerve block as compared to those without the block.
Within the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) medical space, a relatively small number of patients follow through with elective surgeries to fix ailments like a deviated septum or occluded sinus passage. Patient understanding of their diagnosis and treatment plan is integral to compliance, which ultimately yields improved medical outcomes and better quality of life. Here the investigators report the usage of advanced inkjet 3D printing methods to develop a multimaterial replica of the patient's nasal sinus anatomy, derived from clinical X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) data. The final patient education model was developed over several iterations to optimize material properties, anatomical accuracy and overall display. A two arm, single center, randomized, prospective study was then performed in which 50 ENT surgical candidates (and an associated control group, n = 50) were given an explanation of their anatomy, disease state, and treatment options using the education model as an aid. Each patient was then surveyed for their self-rated understanding of their anatomy, disease, and treatment options.
Research Question: Performing partial turbinectomy associated with rhinoseptoplasty is responsible for an increase in quality of life related to nasal obstruction when compared to no intervention in rhinoseptoplasty inferior turbinate? - Population: patients eligible for functional rhinoseptoplasty and / or aesthetic - Intervention: surgery, turbinectomy of inferior turbinates - Comparison: the absence of intervention in inferior turbinates - Primary endpoint: Quality of life related to nasal obstruction
This study is a prospective, limited-use evaluation of the ENTact™ Septal Stapler for tissue approximation utilizing staples with extended shelf life. The ENTact™ Septal Stapler will be used to approximate the mucoperichondrial flaps in all patients. Each treatment group will be implanted with product that has been aged for a specified amount of time.
