Filter by:This is a randomized, prospective, double-blinded (patient and outcome-assessor) trial. Our goal is to assess efficacy of Bridge Therapy (versus sham bridge therapy) to prevent emergence agitation following general anesthesia. Primary Objective: Activation of Bridge Therapy from the time of the pre incision "time out" until 24 hours after admission to the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit) is associated with reduced frequency and intensity of emergence agitation. Secondary Objective: Bridge Therapy activation will also result in a lower incidence of rescue pharmacologic treatment of agitation. Tertiary Objective: Activation of Bridge Therapy during a stable anesthetic state is associated with a reduced Patient State Index as measured on Sedline
The Sleep Optimization for Brain Health Outcomes in Older Surgical Patients (SLEEP-BOOST) is a pilot randomized, controlled, singled-blinded (participant) trial in major orthopedic joint surgery patients that will build on a previously clinically tested cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) mobile application paired with a wearable device (wrist actigraphy).
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority study of patients undergoing tonsil surgeries at Boston Children's Hospital Waltham. The overall aim is to evaluate the efficacy of an opioid anesthetic plan (morphine, ketorolac, and acetaminophen versus an opioid sparing anesthetic plan (dexmedetomidine, ketorolac and acetaminophen) for perioperative analgesia and recovery time in patients undergoing tonsillectomies and tonsillotomies at Boston Children's Hospital Waltham. Secondary measures include rescue opioids administered in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), re-operation secondary to bleeding, emergence delirium, post-operative nausea and vomiting, intraoperative hemodynamics, intraoperative vasopressor administration, and length of procedure.
Oxygen therapy is the most common treatment modality for patients with hypoxemia, but target values for normoxemia are not clearly defined. Therefore, iatrogenic hyperoxemia is a very common situation. Even though there are many side effects reported related to hyperoxemia and hyperoxemia is shown to be related to worse outcome than expected; clinicians still observe hyperoxemia frequently. Oxygen reserve index (ORi™) (Masimo Corp., Irvine, USA) can guide clinicians in detection of hyperoxia. ORi is a parameter which can evaluate partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) rating from 0 to 1. There are growing evidences in ORi that it might be helpful to reduce hyperoxia in general anesthesia. Continuous ORi monitoring can be used for detecting and preventing hyperoxia. The ability to perform FiO2 titration with ORi may be an appropriate monitoring management to prevent the harmful effects of hyperoxia.In this study, in patients who underwent major abdominal surgery; It was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of ORi-guided FiO2 titration in preventing hyperoxia.
The aim of this study is to compare the impact of common (standard of care) language vs positive language used by clinicians during inhalational induction of anesthesia on anxiety and negative behaviors in children. This is a prospective randomized parallel group trial. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to the common/standard language group or the positive language group.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Propofol versus Dexmedetomidine in children undergoing squint surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: • Which drug is more effective in preventing the appearance of Emergence Agitation in children after sevoflurane anesthesia in squint surgery, propofol or dexmedetomidine? Emergence agitation (EA) is a period of restlessness, agitation, inconsolable crying, disorientation, delusions, and hallucinations with impaired cognition and memory that commonly occurs in children undergoing ophthalmic surgery especially after Short acting volatile agents such as sevoflurane.
• Primary outcome: Measure The incidence of EA in children undergoing to hypospadias repair under general anesthesia is considered using Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scales. • Secondary outcome: - Therefore, we designed a prospective, randomized, double-blind, single center study to investigate whether nalbuphine and/or magnesium sulphate can prevent EA after hypospadias repair in children under general anesthesia. In addition, the characteristics of anesthesia recovery and the incidence of adverse effects will also be evaluated in this study. Post-operative extubating time, interaction time, open eye time and emergence time. incidence of post-operative vomiting (PONV), laryngospasm, breath-holding, coughing, oxygen desaturation, and cardiac arrhythmias. - Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consola Bility (FLACC) scale is used to determine post-operative pain score - Parental satisfaction scores
The goal of this clinical trial (Balanced-2 study) is to compare light to deep general anesthesia using widely available brain monitors, to see if 'light' anesthesia could reduce rates of delirium, cognitive decline, and disability in older adults undergoing major surgery. Delirium is the most common serious surgical complication, occurring in an estimated one in four older adults undergoing major surgery. Delirium causes significant distress to patients and family, and is associated with prolonged hospital stay, physical disability, progression to dementia-like illnesses, and discharge to long-term care. Between 10 - 30% of adults aged 70 years and above have surgery every year, and preserving brain health and wellbeing is an important priority during this time. Older adults (aged ≥65 years, or Indigenous, Pasific patients aged ≥55 years) undergoing major surgery with general anesthesia (excluding heart and brain surgery) and able to provide consent will be able to participate. Participants will be randomized to two groups - a lighter general anesthesia group and a deeper general anesthesia group using processed electroencephalography (a brain monitor that provides information on depth of anesthesia using brain waves). The anesthesiologist will titrate anesthetic drugs according to the brain monitor. Participants will be followed up to determine if they experience delirium after surgery, and longer term impact of delirium such as cognitive and physical decline will also be measured. If found to be effect, this simple, cheap, and widely available treatment could reduce disability, preserve brain health and wellbeing of many older adults undergoing surgery worldwide, and save millions in healthcare dollars.
Intraoperative hypothermia is common in patients having major surgery and the compliance with intraoperative temperature monitoring and management remains poor. Studies suggest that intraoperative hypothermia is an important risk factor of postoperative delirium, which is associated with worse early and long-term outcomes. Furthermore, perioperative hypothermia increases stress responses and provokes immune suppression, which might promote cancer recurrence and metastasis. In a recent trial, targeted temperature management reduced intraoperative hypothermia and emergence delirium. There was also a trend of reduced postoperative delirium, although not statistically significant. This trial is designed to test the hypothesis that intraoperative targeted temperature management may reduce postoperative delirium and improves progression-free survival in older patients recovering from major cancer surgery.
