Filter by:Using Ketamine for procedural sedation in adults is often uncomfortable for emergency physicians because of the significant proportion of patients experimenting recovery agitation. The investigators believe that combining propofol to ketamine, the proportion of recovery agitation will be significantly lowered. The objectives of this double-blinded, randomized controlled trial are to compare the proportion of recovery agitation in adults receiving procedural sedation with ketamine-propofol versus ketamine alone, and to compare the proportion of other classical procedural sedation side-effects and parameters such as respiratory depression, hypotension, sedation duration, time of recovery, procedural failures, and levels of satisfaction.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of arthroscopic Bankart repair using MG-1 for dislocation of shoulder
The capitate had a widened distal base. The distal articulation can be used for proximal interphalangeal (PIP) articula reconstruction.
Major interest in our investigation is to find out whether distinct fixation techniques influence catheter dislocation and/ or incidence of local inflammation. A systematic comparison of two different fixation techniques with regard to catheter location, analgetic potential and signs of local inflammation will be conducted. To ensure identical patients groups allocation will be strictly randomized. Furthermore, both patient groups will receive identical pain medication via the peridural catheter in situ. All catheter tips will be screened microbiologically after removal.
The purpose of this study is to 1) evaluate the effectiveness of the Plastizote abduction brace compared to the Pavlik harness in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and 2) compare parent/caregiver satisfaction between the Plastizote abduction brace and the Pavlik harness. The investigators hope to learn which brace treatment is best for a definable population so the appropriate brace can be chosen initially avoiding the time, expense, and frustration of a failed technique.
Neck injuries are a common problem among blunt trauma victims with more than 8,000,000 cases being seen annually in U.S. and Canadian EDs. While the majority of these cases represent soft tissue injuries, 30,000 patients suffer cervical spine fractures or dislocations and approximately 10,000 suffer spinal cord injury. There are no readily available national Canadian data on ED visits such as those provided by the U.S. National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. The prevalence of potential neck injury can, however, be reasonably estimated for Canadian EDs. Extrapolation, on a population basis, from reliable U.S. figures suggests that 1.3 million potential neck injury patients are seen annually in Canada. Only 0.9% of these patients are found to have cervical spine fractures or dislocations.
Knee immobilization in near extension has been proposed as a nonoperative treatment for primary traumatic patellar dislocation, although there exist no prospective studies regarding the method of immobilization. The objective of this prospective randomized study was to compare the clinical outcome after nonoperative treatment with restricted vs. free range of motion (ROM) for primary traumatic patellar dislocation.
Several surgical techniques are used for the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations. The investigators investigate a new method using arthroscopic repair using the Tightrope fixation device.
Corneal transplant is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced by donated corneal tissue (the graft) in its entirety (penetrating keratoplasty) or in part (lamellar keratoplasty). One type of lamellar keratoplasty is DSAEK (Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty), where only the damaged posterior section of the cornea is replaced. The purpose of this study is to investigate how immediate postoperative positioning of the patient affects the dislocation rate of the corneal graft. Since this is a new surgical method, little scientific documentation has been published in this area.
In this study, the investigators intend to demonstrate that the hook plate may have adverse effects on subacromial structures even with a short period of hardware retention. The investigators also sought to determine if musculoskeletal sonography could be used as a tool to demonstrate shoulder pathology such as subacromial impingement or rotator cuff tear in patients receiving hook plate fixation. The clinical results of patients receiving hook plate fixation, specifically bony union, pain relief, shoulder function and range of motion (ROM), were also evaluated.
