Filter by:Evaluate the safety and efficacy of an early discharge protocol (23 hours, overnight stay) after scheduled sleeve gastrectomy.
In this study, fiberoptic intubation through Boussignac valve, while ventilation of morbidly obese patients is maintained through the ventilator, will be studied. Researchers suggest that the technique will allow more time for intubation trial rather than conventional techniques of intubation without ventilation. the Primary outcome will be the decrease of desaturation events during intubation. Secondary variables will include; stress response to intubation, the incidence of hypercapnia, hemodynamic response to intubation, successful intubation, the time required to intubation and operator satisfaction.
The main aim of this study is to elucidate the mechanism of the remission of type 2 diabetes in the morbid obese patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Background: Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) at the time of induction increases oxygenation by preventing lung atelectasis. However, PEEP may not prove beneficial in all cases. Factors affecting the action of PEEP have not been elucidated well and remain controversial. Pulmonary vasculature has direct bearing on the action of PEEP as has been proven in previous studies. Thus this study was planned to evaluate the action of PEEP on the basis of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) which is non invasive and easily measured by trans-thoracic echocardiography. Methodology: This Randomized prospective study comprised of 70 morbidly obese patients, ASA grade II or III, aged 20-65 years with BMI > 40kg/m2, scheduled for elective laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Ten patients had to be excluded. Thus a total of 60 patients participated in the study. Thirty patients received no PEEP at the time of induction while other 30 patients were given a PEEP of 10cm of H2O. Serial ABG samples were taken pre operatively, at the time of intubation, 5 min after intubation and 10 min after intubation. Patients were then divided into four groups on the basis of PASP value of ≤ 30 mm Hg with and without PEEP or > 30 mm Hg
The Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi) is a reference that could help clinicians with their assessments of normoxic and hyperoxic states by scaling the measured absorption information between 0.00 and 1.00. An ORi of 0.00 corresponds to partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) values of 100 mmHg and below and an ORi of 1.00 corresponds to PaO2 values of 200 mmHg and above. This is clinical study designed to evaluate the clinical utility of the Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) as an early warning for arterial hemoglobin desaturation during the induction of general anesthesia and tracheal intubation in obese patients undergoing elective surgical procedures.
Clinicians are increasingly dealing with morbid obese patients. In morbid obese patients, difficult sampling and problems encountered with noninvasive blood pressure monitoring makes arterial cannulation an essential skill in many situations like surgeries or trans-radial procedures for coronary or carotid interventions. Radial artery has been preferred over other sites for arterial cannulation due to low incidence of bleeding, better hemostats, more comfort, and immediate ambulation. sm In this study, subcutaneous nitroglycerin will be used to facilitate radial artery cannulation aiming to decrease insertion time, increase success rate and decrease related complications
Background While several articles have reported about the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), to date, just one paper has discussed this issue with regard the Mini/One anastomosis gastric bypass (MGB/OAGB). This is expected to be the first randomized trial exploring and comparing these two interventions. Setting "Federico II" University Hospital, Naples - ITALY. Methods Fifty morbid obese patients are going to be studied. All patients presenting with a normal preoperative LES function will be randomly assigned to undergo LSG (arm 1 - 25 pts) or MGB (arm 2 - 25 pts). Patients undergo clinical assessment for reflux symptoms, and esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGDS) plus high-resolution impedance manometry (HRiM) and 24-hour pH-impedance monitoring (MII-pH) before, two months and 1 year after both LSG or MGB/OAGB. Objective Endpoint 1: Does this surgery affect the LES area function in both arm 1 or arm 2 patients determining a possible increase in gastroesophageal acid or non acid reflux? Endpoint 2: Does one between the two procedures outperform the other one in terms of eventual LES area modifications? Endpoint 3: In the case of a good performance of LSG or MGB/OAGB or both the procedures, is this to be primarily related to surgery per se or to weight loss?
The endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty allows stomach size reduction through an endoluminal suture approach without any incision. It could reduce the complications associated with current surgical techniques while obtaining the target gastric restriction, weight loss, comorbidities and quality of life improvement. The primary objective of this study is to assess weight loss after endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty in patients with morbid obesity.
This study try to identify differences in length of operation, weight loss and complications, between two different bariatric surgical techniques, the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y banded gastric bypass. The study will be conducted in a Spanish public health system hospital. The patients of the trial will have the preoperative studies, hospital treatment during the admission, postoperative treatment and follow up as any other patient included in the hospital bariatric surgery program. The study cases will have placed around the gastric pouch a band of polypropylene mesh, and will be randomly choose between the participants. Patients will be randomized in a 5/3 (study/control) ratio.
Staple-line leak is the most frequent and incapacitating complication after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The aim of this prospective randomized trial is to compare the staple-line leak rate after LSG according to the use of a standard bougie calibre (34, 36 or 38 Fr) or 48-Fr, assuming that a higher diameter is correlated with a lower risk of leak, without lowering long-term weight loss.
