Filter by:It reduces pain scores in patients with block and improves the quality of recovery in the postoperative period. In patients who will undergo spinal anesthesia, it will be questioned whether the application of the block before or after surgery makes a difference in the quality of recovery.
This study is a Post Market Clinical Follow up study to fulfil the post market surveillance obligations according to Medical Device Directive and European Medical Device Vigilance System (MEDDEV) 2.12-2. The data collected from this study will serve the purpose of confirming safety and performance of the Avenir Müller Hip Stem.
Introduction Perioperative haemodynamic instability is associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. Macrocirculatory parameters, such as the conventionally obtained mean arterial blood pressure and cardiac output, may be uncoupled from the microcirculation during sepsis and severe blood loss and may not necessarily be optimal resuscitation parameters. The peripheral perfusion index (PPI) is derived from the pulse oximetry signal and reflects perfusion. Reduced peripheral perfusion is associated with morbidity in critically ill patients and in patients following acute surgery. We hypothesize that patients with low intraoperative PPI demonstrate high frequency of postoperative complications and mortality regardless of blood pressure. Methods and analysis We plan to conduct a prospective observational cohort study in patients undergoing acute non-cardiac surgery (November 1st, 2017 to October 31st, 2018) at two University Hospitals. Data will be collected prospectively from patient records including patient demographics, comorbidity and intraoperative hemodynamic values, with PPI as the primary exposure variable, and postoperative complications and mortality within 30 and 90 days as outcome variables. We primarily assess association between PPI and outcome in multivariate regression models. Secondly, the predictive value of PPI for outcome, using area under the receiver operating characteristics curve is assessed. Ethics and dissemination Data will be reported according to The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE). Results will be published in a peer reviewed journal. The study is approved by the regional research ethics committee, storage and management of data has been approved by the Regional Data Protection Agency, and access to medical records is approved by the hospital board of directors at the involved hospitals and departments.
Background: Fracture of the hip is a potentially fatal event in an elderly, frail, highly comorbid patient group suffering from dehydration and hypovolemia, and it carries a risk that equals major trauma in young patients in regard of physiological insult and severity, yet no preoperative resuscitation and transfusion strategy is available. An important goal of hemodynamic monitoring and resuscitation is early detection of insufficient tissue perfusion and oxygenation. The peripheral perfusion index reflects changes in peripheral perfusion and blood volume and a decreased peripheral perfusion index predicts surgical complications and morbidity in acute surgical and septic shock patients. The research group hypothesize that elderly frail patients with a fracture of the hip suffer from hypovolemia and peripheral hypoperfusion of varying degrees and accordingly respond to controlled fluid resuscitation and that the non-invasive peripheral perfusion index will serve as an early predictor of a deteriorated circulation in reflection of stroke volume. Methods: The main objective of this prospective observational study is to assess to what extend patients with fracture of the hip suffer from hypovolemia and respond to a fluid challenge. The secondary objectives are to evaluate correlation between the minimally-invasive measurements of stroke volume and blood volume and the non-invasive measurement of peripheral perfusion index and near-infrared spectroscopy, as well as prevalence of postoperative complications and mortality. Fifty consecutive patients over the age of 65 years, presenting with a hip fracture, treated in a multimodal fast-track regimen, will be included when written informed consent is available. All patients will receive epidural analgesia and preoperative stroke volume-guided hemodynamic optimization. Blood volume measurements are performed and all patients are monitored with peripheral perfusion index and near-infrared spectroscopy. Discussion: This is likely the first study to address clinically applicable hemodynamic monitoring and resuscitation in patients with fracture of the hip where adequate resuscitation is easily missed. The study group aim to evaluate the feasibility of preoperative stroke volume-guided hemodynamic optimization in the context of minimally- and non-invasive monitoring of peripheral perfusion and blood volume measurements.
The aim of this study is to explore the patient experience of acute rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery. We also aim to identify patient perceived barriers to rehabilitation and recovery after hip fracture surgery. More specifically, the objectives of this study are to: 1. describe the rehabilitation experience of patients who underwent hip fracture surgery with respect to the frequency, intensity, type, and timing of rehabilitation and 2. identify patient perceived barriers to rehabilitation and recovery related to the patient, their injury and their health care. The results of this qualitative study will inform a future feasibility cluster randomised controlled trial aimed at optimising acute rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery. The findings will help to strengthen the patient and carergiver centred approach when developing the intervention to optimise rehabilitation and potentially improve outcomes after hip fracture surgery.
