Filter by:Cycling has been a proven exercise for decades as a low impact option to strengthen the lower body and improve cardiovascular health. There is also evidence that cycling helps to stimulate the contraction of the muscles in the intestine. Other outcomes frequently examined when considering benefits of ambulation include decreased rates of venous thromboembolic events, pneumonia, and decreased hospital length of stays. Therefore, there is added value to consider alternate mobility modalities.
Aim: Postoperative ileus after cesarean section is a problem that significantly prolongs hospital stay and increases perioperative costs. The ability of postoperative fennel tea consumption to produce bowel movement is unclear and needs to be studied. This study aimed to determine the effect of chewing gum and drinking fennel tea on intestinal motility after cesarean section. Methods: The study was conducted in postnatal care wards between January 2018 and April 2018. Simple randomization was used to assign women to the study arms. Data were collected during Pregnancy Constipation Diagnostic Scale, Data Collection and Follow-up Form were collected.
Although many measurement techniques have been tried for intra-abdominal pressure, the Kron technique is currently the gold standard method. However, the search for other methods continues due to its long application time, the need for more equipment, and impracticality. Consequently, the investigators sought to investigate a quicker and more accessible method suitable for successful intra-abdominal pressure measurement in the emergency department. This study aimed to compare intra-abdominal pressure measurements in patients diagnosed with ileus using a digital manometer and the Kron Technique.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative low-residue diet on postoperative ileus in women undergoing elective cesarean section. It is a surgeon-blind, randomized controlled trial enrolling pregnant women at ≥39 weeks of gestation undergoing elective cesarean section. Patients were preoperatively randomized to receive either low-residue diet (arm A) or free diet (arm B) starting from three days before surgery. The primary outcome was the postoperative ileus at 24 hours after surgery. The secondary outcomes were the postoperative pain (assessed through VAS scale), the quality of the surgical field (scored using a 5-point scale, from poor to excellent), postoperative complications, and the length of hospital stay. Perioperative data were collected and compared between groups.
Post-operative ileus is a temporary stoppage of bowel function following surgery. Indeed it can occur in 20% of cases during post-operative follow-up of bowel surgery. The absence of resumption of transit can lead to the implementation of specific treatments such as the placement of a nasogastric tube and drug treatments. To date, the definition of this event is not accepted by everyone and is not based on reproducible evaluation criteria. The main objective of this study is to evaluate a score used to date to define postoperative ileus, the IFEED score, and to compare it to the length of postoperative stay.
The aim of the study is to determine if the usage of sugammadex would reduce the time to return of bowel function when compared to standard of care (neostigmine/glycopyrrolate) when used for neuromuscular blockade reversal in patients with open abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare approaches to enterostomy reversal by hand-sewn end-to-end anastomosis versus side-to-side anastomosis (sub-divided into hand-sewn side-to-side anastomosis and stapled side-to-side anastomosis). The main question it aims to answer is: • If either of the approaches are better than the other with respect to success rates, efficacy, post-operative complications and overall morbidity. Participants admitted for stoma reversal will be divided into two groups: 1. EE: Conventional Hand-sewn end-to-end anastomosis, and 2. SS: Side-to-side anastomosis, which will be further divided into 2 sub-groups: 1. HSSA: Hand-sewn side-to-side anastomosis 2. SSSA: Stapled side-to-side anastomosis Researchers will compare the EE group to SS group overall, and a second comparison will be made between EE, HSSA and SSSA groups, to see: 1. Rates of major post-operative complications 2. Rates of short-term complications (within 30 days of surgery) 3. Rates of re-operation 4. Post-operative length of stay in the hospital
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of gastrointestinal stimulation with a pacemaker on the length of postoperative bowel paralysis in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery due to metastasizing colorectal cancer, appendiceal cancer or pseudomyxoma peritonei. The main question it aims to answer is if the length of postoperative ileus is reduced when the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated with a pacemaker. All participants will undergo cytoreductive surgery +/- heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (the standard treatment for colorectal cancer, appendiceal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis or pseudomyxoma peritonei). After surgery, but before the abdomen is closed a pace lead will be attached to the stomach, exteriorized trough the abdominal wall and connected to an external pacemaker. The pacemaker is either turned on (experimental group) or turned off (control group). Furthermore, the patients are asked to ingest a SmartPill capsule two hours prior to surgery. This will transmit information on gastrointestinal transit times and motility. After surgery, patients will be asked to fill out a diary on bowel movements once a day.
The purpose of the study is to determine if the myoelectrical measurements made by the G-Tech Wireless Patch System correlate with clinical markers of postoperative recovery such as passage of flatus/bowel movement, oral tolerance of diet and discharge readiness. Subsequently the data will be studied to establish which information in the signals is important in determining when to feed patients and possibly discharge them..
A delay in the return of bowel function is a common occurrence after abdominal surgeries.1 The goal of this study was to test the effect of the combined use of chewing a gum and administering metoclopramide intravenously on the duration of this natural delay in the return of bowel function after abdominal surgeries. Patients were grouped into four: the first group received both gum and metoclopramide; the second group received only gum; the third group received only metoclopramide, while the fourth group (the control group) received sterile water for injection. The groups were compared for the time taken for bowel function to return and the duration of hospital stay.
