Acute kidney injury affects more than 30% of patients after cardiac surgery, and is associated with an excess in mortality. There is a clinical continuum between acute kidney injury (transient if <48h, persistent if >48h), the development of acute kidney and chronic renal failure. Each of these entities characterising renal recovery is associated with an increase in long-term morbidity and mortality. Fluid management in patients with acute kidney injury is challenging, as both hypovolaemia and hypervolaemia are detrimental. Venous congestion (reflecting intravascular hypervolaemia), is a well-established haemodynamic factor contributing to acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery. An ultrasound score, based on the venous doppler pattern explored in intra-abdominal organs, has recently been developed and is a better predictor of acute kidney injury than central venous pressure. Whether using the VeXUS score to guide fluid removal in haemodynamically stabilised patients could promote renal recovery after acute kidney injury remains to be investigated. Before designing a large randomised trial to test such a strategy, its feasibility in a pilot randomised trial is assessed.
There have been many studies on the treatment of breast engorgement, there is a lack of research comparing the effectiveness of manual lymph drainage with massage. Therefore, this study will be a randomized controlled trial that aims to compare the effects of manual lymph drainage with massage on breast engorgement, pain, and self efficacy in the postpartum period.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to examine the potential association between intra-abdominal pressure and venous congestion as assessed by abdominal ultrasound, in critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The main question it aims to answer is whether there is association between intra-abdominal pressure and Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score. Participants will be sonographically assessed and their intra-abdominal pressure measured once within the first 3 days of ICU admission.
In this article, women were randomly assigned to the manual lymphatic drainage group, therapeutic ultrasound group, and control group, and the breast pain, swelling hardness, and milk excretion before and after each treatment were measured.
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of octani massage on breastfeeding success and breast engorgement in mothers who gave birth by cesarean section. The research was carried out in the gynecology service of Ağrı Training and Research Hospital between November 2022 and April 2023. The universe of the study consisted of mothers who were hospitalized in the gynecology service of Ağrı Training and Research Hospital between November 2022 and April 2023 and gave birth by cesarean section. The Open Epi calculation tool was used to determine the sample of the study. The sample calculation was made on the average score differences in the Open Epi info program. Accordingly, it was planned to include 106 mothers, 53 of whom were in the control group and 53 in the massage group. Considering the sample loss to be experienced during data collection, a total of 116 mothers, 58 in the control group and 58 in the massage group, were included in the study. Randomization of the groups participating in the study was made as simple randomization using the www.random.org site. Introductory Characteristics Questionnaire, oketany massage follow-up form, breast engorgement assessment scale and LATCH breastfeeding diagnostic measurement tool were used to collect the research data.
Acute respiratory distress (ARD) is a frequent reason for seeking care in emergency medicine and represents an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Among the various etiologies, Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema (C APE) currently represents one of the main causes of ARD, particularly in the elderly, with a prevalence of 43% and an estimated mortality of 21%. According to the recommendations issued in 2021 by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the treatment of cardiogenic APE is currently based on a triptych combining: - Oxygen therapy with an Saturation of Hemoglobin with Oxygen (SpO2) target > 94% and the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV), - A vasodilator administered intravenously (IV), - A loop diuretic by IV route. Although most C APE are today considered to occur in a context of hypervolaemia and are uniformly treated by the administration of diuretics according to the recommendations in force, several works underline the fact that a non-negligible part of these clinical pictures would occur in patients with no water and sodium overload but with "relative" hypervolaemia masking euvolaemia or even hypovolaemia. At present, no additional examination is recommended to determine the patient's volume status. However, it has been shown more recently that some patients who do not have absolute hypervolaemia could develop acute renal complications during treatment for C APE. In addition, systematic treatment with loop diuretics in patients without absolute hypervolaemia could be harmful by inducing post-treatment hypovolaemia. At the present time, there are no data from the literature having been interested in the possible association existing between the state of blood volume of the patient on admission and the occurrence of renal complications in the aftermath of the treatment. initial. The prevalence of renal complications was nevertheless evaluated at 9% in this category of patients. The estimated prevalence of this complication and its particular seriousness, particularly in the case of chronic acute kidney injury, as well as its cost to society, justify carrying out a study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of venous congestion in the acute phase and of its possible association with the occurrence of renal complications in the course of this. Among the various methods for assessing blood volume status, there is a growing literature regarding the use of clinical ultrasound in emergency medicine (ECMU). More recently, an ultrasound score called "VExUS score" (Venous Excess Ultrasound Score) has been developed. This offers the possibility of evaluating and classifying in 4 grades of increasing severity, simply and quickly, the state of venous congestion of patients. This score is based on the presence or absence of venous Doppler ultrasound abnormalities assessed at the level of the inferior vena cava, at the level of the supra-hepatic veins, of the portal and renal venous flow. This score, adapted to the practice of ECMU and making it possible to distinguish patients with or without venous congestion criteria, could provide arguments to guide diuretic treatment by offering personalized care. This evaluation would ultimately make it possible to offer diuretic treatment only in the event of signs suggestive of absolute hypervolaemia and thus avoid the occurrence of complications related to inappropriate therapy.
Portal vein pulsatility index is a marker of venous congestion evaluated by point of care ultrasound. It is associated with acute kidney injury, especially in critically ill patients. It may be considered as a dynamic marker. The investigators hypothesized that portal vein pulsatility index is higher after a fluid challenge only in patient without preload dependence in critically ill patients with cardiovascular insufficiency.
The goal of this prospective, observational clinical cohort study is to study the effect of the preoperative condition of the tooth on the outcome of partial removal of carious tissue in mature teeth in adults. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Do preoperative symptoms affect the outcome? - Does the depth of the carious lesion affect the outcome? One hundred participants will be recruited. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will be asked to give their informed consent to participate in the study. Partial carious tissue removal will be performed regardless of participation in the study because selective carious tissue removal is the standard treatment of choice for a vital tooth with a deep carious lesion according to the Finnish national treatment guidelines. Participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire regarding symptoms 7 days post-treatment. The teeth will then be followed up for 12-24 months. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the success between i) deep and extremely deep carious lesions and ii) initial and mild pulpitis.
