Filter by:Remimazolam is an ultra-short acting benzodiazepine agonist which is used widely for general anesthesia and sedation. Remimazolam has several advantages. Remimazolam is rapidly metabolized by tissue esterase that it does not accumulate even after infusion for long periods of time. The presence of reversal agents (flumazenil) is also advantageous. Also, hemodynamic stability compared to propofol gives clinicians preference to use for geriatric anesthesia. However, the study on the effect of remimazolam compared to propofol on postoperative delirium have not been carried out. The purpose of the study is to compare the incidence of postoperative delirium and recovery profile in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery using either remimazolam or propofol.
Virtual Reality(VR) has had promising applications in science and medicine, including intervention delivery. The use of VR interventions has been studied in a wide range of medical conditions, including anxiety, phobias, obesity, chronic pain, and eating disorders. VR based simulation in pediatrics has grown rapidly in recent years and is expected to continue to grow. VR technology has become increasingly affordable, flexible, and portable, enabling its use in a broad range of environments including the outpatient clinical setting. Additionally, children are believed to have an inclination toward games of "pretend" or alternate realities further indicating the potential of this technology. While immersed in a game, they often become deeply absorbed and able to ignore aversive stimuli. VR is an engaging intervention that may help to detract from pain and anxiety for children undergoing painful procedures. Heart rate has been used as a means to objectively quantify the physiologic response to pain and anxiety. The purpose of the study is to conduct a randomized controlled study that assess the utility of Virtual Reality simulations compared to non immersive visual distraction in pediatric patients undergoing outpatient procedures including cast removal and surgical suture/pins removal. Primary outcomes will include changes in patient heart rate (an age-validated surrogate for pain and anxiety) and patient-reported changes in anxiety and pain. Secondary outcomes will include patient/parent-reported satisfaction.
The aim of this study is to assess the quality of analgesic efficacy and improvement of pulmonary function in patients with fracture ribs receiving either continuous rhomboid intercostal block combined with sub-serratus block or continuous erector spinae plane block by comparing and evaluating the differences between the two techniques.
Regional anesthesia for hip fractures has been shown to decrease rates of delirium in elderly patients with hip fractures as well as improve pain compared to systemic opioids. The Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block has recently received attention as an alternative approach to femoral nerve block and Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB). The investigators seek to evaluate if there is a difference between the PENG and FICB in terms of efficacy of pain control in ED patients presenting with hip fracture. We hypothesize that the PENG block may be superior based on previous research.
Postoperative rehabilitation for tibial plateau fracture generally involves prolonged non-weight bearing time while other protocols use partial weight-bearing and bracing before full weight-bearing is recommended at 9 to 12 weeks following surgical fixation. No study to date has investigated the effect of standardized pragmatic exercise protocol added to immediate weight bearing after tibial plateau fractures surgical fixation on patient's functional outcomes, knee ROM, pain, radiographic boney alignment, gait, and return to work.
Geriatric hip fracture is an important disease that affects the health life of the elderly in China. Geriatric hip fracture is often complicated by a variety of comorbidities due to advanced age. And anemia is a common comorbidity. At present perioperative management of geriatric hip fracture, transfusion is only indicated for moderate and severe anemia, while no special medical intervention for mild anemia in China. More and more studies have found that iron can not only correct anemia, but also improve cardiac function, patients' quality of life and function. This study investigated the effect of perioperative iron supplementation on activity tolerance in elderly patients with hip fracture complicated with iron deficiency anemia. The study was a randomized, parallel controlled clinical study. Due to the requirements of the ethics committee, the unblinded setting was cancelled due to ethical considerations. Research will be grouped according to whether to accept iron supplementation treatment, are divided into 2 groups, respectively, iron treatment group and the traditional method. The method of randomization was stratified block randomization. The experimental group added to the intravenous iron sucrose during perioperative period according to the degree of iron deficiency. If there is still a iron deficiency or anemia at discharge, oral ferrous lactate is added after discharge. The outcomes include 6-minute walk distance, Harris score, EQ-5D score six months after surgery, perioperative blood transfusion rate, and so on in the two groups.
This study is a multi-centre, prospective, clinical observational study to evaluate the CE-marked HBS 2 Resorb Mg screws under routine conditions. The device will be used according to its intended use. The data collected for this study does only include measurements which are standard of care.
This study aims to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing, as well as the relationship between pain catastrophizing and pain level, anxiety and depression, self-efficacy and psychological resilience in patients with traumatic fractures, and to explain the approach and effect relationship between kinesiophobia and these variables.
Postoperative bone infection is a severe complication in the treatment of fractures and is more frequent than in elective joint replacement surgeries. Surgical treatment is based on meticulous debridement of bone and soft tissue, dead space management, soft tissue reconstruction when necessary, and restoration of bony stability in the non-union fracture. In addition, local antibiotic therapy is recommended in certain circumstances. This study aims to evaluate the results of surgical treatment of fracture-related infection in Latin America.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of early, percutaneous, intra-articular saline lavage on the undiluted synovial fluid microenvironment during the acute phase following intra-articular fracture of the human ankle. We hypothesize that early intervention with percutaneous joint lavage in the first 0-48 hours after injury will attenuate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, MMP's and cartilage breakdown products compared to non-lavaged control subjects at the time of surgical fixation.
