Filter by:The goal of this interventional study is to compare the efficacy (surgical field quality and intra-operative blood loss) or cost of TIVA alone to general inhalational anesthetics with intravenous TXA in patient participants who are undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Is the surgical field quality better when using TIVA alone compared to general inhalational anesthetics with intravenous TXA? - Is one method more financially advantageous to the participant and the institution compared to the other method? Participants will be randomized into one of the two anesthesia cohorts prior to sinus surgery. One group will be given total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) alone and the other will be given intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) followed by general inhalational anesthesia. Researchers will compare the TIVA group to the TXA group to see if one group exhibits a better surgery field viewing quality through a subjective evaluation and measurement of blood loss and also which anesthesia regimen is most cost effective upon conducting a cost analysis.
cephaloceles are rare lesions of the petrous apex, inconsistently listed as meningoceles or arachnoid cysts. They're consistent with a herniation posterolateral of the Meckel cavum within the petrous apex. These lesions may be the cause of a symptomatology varied, or be discovered by chance in subjects who have not been asymptomatic. Currently, there is no evidence in the literature a simple, fast and reproducible radiological marker that allows for the diagnosis of cephaloceles of the petrous apex, in particular the small ones. The purpose of this study is to validate a radiological benchmark simple and reproducible, the trigeminal petrol line, in order to improve the diagnosis of petrous apex cephaloceles
This is a prospective longitudinal study to access postoperative 2-year quality of life in patients who undergo endonasal endoscopic approach surgeries of the skull base.
