Filter by:The peripheral perfusion index (PPI) is a non-invasive, feasible measure of peripheral perfusion and, assumed, the overall circulation, which all patients are monitored by. This study is carried out to assess the association between values of PPI, haemoglobin and blood transfusion. Hypothetically, patients with low values of hb are more susceptible to a deteriorating circulation reflected in poorer PPI regardless of blood pressure and that resuscitation with blood products improves PPI measurements. Moreover, that patients with low values of PPI have more surgical complications and higher mortality.
The objective of the study is to handle patients with the need for an acute laparotomy according to a standardised perioperative protocol and to document the measurement as they are performed (i.e. adherence to the protocol) and to measure the outcome with regard to both short- (30 days) and long-term (3 and 12 months) mortality. Several secondary endpoints will be measured, such as: hospital stay, length of stay at an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), readmission to ICU and surgical complications according to the Clavien-Dindo score. These results will then be compared to published rates of mortality from the literature and to similar outcomes for a cohort of all patients operated at NÄL on the same indication the years prior to the project/study.
Assess whether the application of electrical stimulation in patients undergoing subcutaneous colon cancer in a Multimodal Rehabilitation Program (Fast track) decreases the incidence of postoperative ileus, improving the results of morbidity and mortality, hospitalization and health care costs.
A multicenter randomized-controlled trial of daikenchuto (TJ-100), a traditional Japanese herbal medicine (Kampo), to investigate its effect on intestinal dysmotility and for the prevention of postoperative paralytic ileus.
