Filter by:The primary objective of this investigation is to evaluate the performance of a self-adhesive absorbent post-operative dressing coated with a soft silicone layer in minimize the risk of the development of blistering in subjects after hip or knee arthroplasty or spinal surgery in comparison to a standard wound dressing The secondary objectives are to evaluate: - the performance of the dressing - the comfort, conformability and the acceptability of the dressing - pain before, during and after dressing removal - the overall cost regarding dressing wear time, time to do dressing change and personal resources needed
Efficacy of a modified obturator nerve block technique by using only a single morphological landmark, a double-blinded randomised pilot study.
The purpose of this study is to determine if one of the new types of dressings (MEPORE PRO and/or MEPILEX BORDER ) will reduce the blister rate compared to the currently used HYPAFIX.
The perioperative administration of n-3 fatty acids has been shown to lead to favorable effects on outcome in patients with severe surgical interventions by lowering the magnitude of inflammatory response and by modulating the immune response. No study with preoperative administration of IV omega 3 fatty acids as a part of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) or monotherapy with it to demonstrate its effects on inflammatory and immune response has been conducted. So, this study has been planned to judge the inflammatory response of preoperative monotherapy with IV omega 3 fatty acids in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery considering the hyper-inflammation associated with this type of surgery in elderly patients.
