The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of perioperative immunonutrition supplement in gynecologic cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - is there any difference in the nutritional outcomes and functional outcomes between intervention and conventional groups? - is there any difference in the post-surgical outcomes between intervention and conventional groups? Participants (intervention) will be provided the immunonutrition supplement before and after operation. Researchers will compare intervention group with conventional group to see if there is any difference in postoperative outcomes.
The general decolonization of the human body surface by industrial antiseptic agents, before elective surgery is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). A specific randomized-controlled trial specifically among high-risk adult orthopedic patients for infection has not been performed. In this single-center, prospective, randomized, and controlled superiority trial, which is planned over a period of two years, we target on an orthopedic patient population with an elevated risk for revision surgery and surgical site infections
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and usability of perioperative fully-automated closed-loop insulin delivery versus standard insulin therapy in patients with diabetes other than type 1 diabetes undergoing elective major abdominal surgery.
The prevalence of diabetes and hyperglycaemia in surgical patients is rising and associated with grater complication rates, length of stay and mortality rates. Suboptimal glucose management in the perioperative setting remains a major barrier to optimal surgical care. While there are guidelines to manage perioperative diabetes care, implementation is challenging and inconsistent, in part due to a stretched workforce, involvement of several disciplines and clinical teams and shortcomings in clinical training and knowledge. Closed-loop glucose control represents an emerging diabetes treatment modality that autonomously adjusts insulin delivery according to continuously measured glucose levels. The use of fully automated closed-loop insulin delivery may represent an easy-to-adopt approach for safe and effective perioperative diabetes management.
Studies have shown that the lifetime risk of developing symptomatic knee osteoarthritis is 40% in men and 47% in women; and the risk can be increased to 60% when the patient's BMI reaches 30 kg/m2. In this population, knee replacement is the most common, effective, and cost-effective method in all treatments with reducing pain, improving joint function and quality of life. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication in the elderly, and its incidence can reach 25-40% in major non-cardiac surgery. As for POCD can prolong hospital stay, increase mortality and morbidity, and increase social and economic burden, it is especially important for the prevention and treatment of POCD. However, The mechanism of POCD is still unclear. Studies suggest that it may involve inflammation and oxidative stress in the central nervous system. But for the elderly, they are in a state of low inflammatory response. At the same time, surgery and tourniquets also can trigger or aggravate inflammatory response. Once the inflammatory factors released into the blood circulation, they can act on the central nervous system in a variety of ways. As a result,elderly patients are more likely to develop POCD. In addition, some studies have shown that pain can also increase cognitive burden. Aspirin, its pharmacodynamic effects includes anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects which may have a certain effect on the prevention of POCD.
Compare effects of intravenous dexmedetomidine and fentanyl in attenuation of intubation response in a patient undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Compare the effects of intravenous dexmedetomidine and fentanyl in sedation, perioperative complications, and recovery in these patients. Dexmedetomidine is comparatively a newer drug in countries like Pakistan. There is no research work available at the national level and scarcity of data at an international level with inconclusive outcomes. Our participation in the form of this research will add to scientific literature and step up ahead at the international level. Fentanyl citrate is a narcotic analgesic interacting predominantly with the opioid μ receptor and exerting its principal pharmacological effect on CNS. Its primary action of therapeutic value is analgesia and sedation. It is extensively used for anesthetic and analgesic most often in operating room and ICU.
A single center prospective before-and-after proof-of-concept study to evaluate a telemedicine center for the PACU.
The number of elderly patients (>80 years) is increasing and a large proportion of these patients will require surgery and anaestheasia within the next decades. During anaesthesia NMBAs are used to facilitate tracheal intubation, from former studies it is reported that elderly patients are more sensitive towards muscle relaxants. It is unknown if there are differences in onset times of NMBAs between younger patients and elderly. The aim of this study is to determine the onset time, duration of action and effect on intubating conditions for rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg in patients aged 18-40 years and in patiens >80 years. The hypothesis of this study is that rocuronium administered in elderly patients (>80 years) has a longer onset time compared to younger patients.
Infections after elective intestinal surgery remain a significant burden for patients and for the health care system. The cost of treating a single surgical site infection is estimated at approximately $27,000. In adult patients, there is good evidence that the combination of oral antibiotics and mechanical bowel preparation is effective at reducing infections after intestinal surgery. In children, the body of evidence is much weaker. In this population, little evidence exists for oral antibiotics reducing infections and no data exists as to the effect of combining antibiotics with mechanical bowel preparation (such as polyethylene glycol (PEG)). The goal of the proposed study is to examine the effects of oral antibiotics with and without the combined use of mechanical bowel preparation on the rate of post-operative infectious complications in children aged 6 months to 18 years. This will be compared to the institution's current standard of care, which is to abstain from any type of mechanical bowel preparations or oral antibiotic administration before intestinal surgery.
