Filter by:This study will be investigated whether an ultrasound-assisted technique is better than a classical land-mark technique to facilitate spinal anesthesia in the lateral position in morbidly obese pregnant women with BMI ≥ 40 who will undergo elective cesarean section. The primary objective in this study is the rate of successful dural puncture at the first attempt. It was assumed that ultrasound could facilitate neuraxial blockade in grade 3 morbidly obese pregnant women according to the Who classification, whose topographic anatomy is difficult.
The main adverse effect is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with concern on the development of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma in the long term. However, the relationship between SG and GERD is complex. The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate all published data existing in the literature to evaluate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on GERD, esophagitis, BE in order to clarify the long-term clinical sequelae of this procedure. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the guidelines for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyzes (PRISMA). Published studies that contained outcome data for primary sleeve gastrectomy associated with the primary and secondary outcomes listed below were included.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of apneic preoxygenation to conventional preoxygenation on the oxygen desaturation in morbid obese parturient performing elective caesarean section under general anesthesia.
in this study we compare the results of concomitant cholecystectomy with bariatric surgery versus delayed cholecystectomy for management of gallstone in obese patients
This study will be a retrospective study in which we will review patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at Sohag University Hospital in the period from january 2017 to May 2018.Assessment of outcomes as Effects on weight, Effects on co-morbidities and Post operative complications.
Recently, the dural puncture epidural (DPE) technique has emerged as a novel method of labor analgesia. The DPE technique is a modification of the combined spinal epidural (CSE) technique, where a dural perforation is created from a spinal needle but intrathecal medication administration is withheld. The DPE technique has been shown to improve caudal spread of analgesia compared with epidural technique without the side effects observed with the CSE technique.
Concurrent training (CT, characterised by the inclusion of two exercise modalities), is recognised to improve metabolic syndrome (MetS) markers, but little is known about order session effect on interindividual variability. The purpose of the present study was to describe the effects, and the interindividual variability, of 20 weeks of CT in different order at (i.e., high intensity interval training (HIIT) plus resistance training (RT), compared with another group doing RT plus HIIT) in women with severe/morbidly obesity at risk of MetS.
Morbid obesity is the first non-traumatic cause of death in the western population and it is also progressively beginning to affect the developing countries. Bariatric surgery provides better results than pharmacological treatments and lifestyle changes, granting a better control of comorbidities. Duodenal switch (DS) has proben to be the most effective surgical treatment for grade IV morbid obesity and its comorbidities. However, it is not widely used due to its technical complexity and the risk of long-term complications. Single Anastomosis Duodenum-Ileal bypass with Sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) was concieved in 2007 as a one-anastomosis simplification of DS, intended to diminish the surgical time and postoperative risks. Recently, another simplified hypo-absorptive technique has started to be widely used: the one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGBP), also called mini-gastric gypass. It consists of a gastric pouch associated with a gastro-jejunal anastomosis in omega (Billroth II). Despite the potential advantages of these emerging surgical techniques (SADI-S and OAGBP), there is no solid evidence on its efficacy for the treatment of grade IV obesity in comparison with DS. Besides, there is also there is a lack of studies reporting on prospective acid and bile reflux after omega digestive reconstructions, suche as "Billroth II-like" (SADI-S) and "Billroth II" (OAGBP). Bile reflux is potentially premalignant condition. This prospective randomized study aims to compare conventional DS with SADI-S and OAGBP. We include all morbidly obese patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 aged 18 years or more. Exclusion criteria are patients who do not fulfill our preoperative bariatric assessment for surgery and those with contraindications for hypo absorptive or mixed surgery. The main objective of the study is to compare the percentage of excess weight lost at 2 and 5 years after the three different surgical procedures. As a secondary objective, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) will be compared before and 2 years after surgery, based on GERD symptoms test, gastroscopy and a esophageal pH-impedanciometry in selected patients. Other secondary objectives are comparison of short-term complications, metabolic comorbidities, depositional habit, quality of life and metabolic and nutritional deficiencies at two years of surgery.
Anesthetic agents, including opioids can modulate the altered immune function in patients with obesity through mechanisms that involve the expression and release of cytokines. For this reason, anesthetic care in patients with obesity remains controversial. Therefore, the aim of the study was to compare the effect of opioid-containing anesthesia vs opioid-free anesthesia using the Cortínez-Sepúlveda model on serum levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α before and after surgery in obese patients undergoing bypass surgery. Methods: A randomized cross-sectional study of 40 unrelated obese adults was performed in the Anesthesiology and Bariatric Surgery Service at the Civil Hospital of Guadalajara "Dr. Juan I. Menchaca". Before undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, patients were randomly assigned to two anesthesia groups: opiod-containing (n=20) or opioid-free (n=20). The opioid used in the opioid-containing anesthesia group was fentanyl. To characterize the disposition of intravenous propofol for the target-controlled infusion technique in obese patients, the Cortínez-Sepúlveda pharmacokinetic model was used. Body mass was determined to the nearest 0.05kg using a balance scale (Seca 703; Seca, Hamburg, Germany). Blood samples were taken before and immediately after surgery and cytokine serum levels were determined with ELISA kits. Statistical analyses were performed using the IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software package version 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA).
Following laparoscopic bariatric surgery, multimodal analgesia is recommended to avoid the adverse effects of opioids by reducing their use. Although lidocaine, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine have been used as adjuvant analgesics, no studies have evaluated the superiority of their intra- and postoperative infusions as components of multimodal analgesia in bariatric surgery. The present study is aimed to compare lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, and ketamine in multimodal analgesia management following Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery. Postoperative pain scores, the requirement for additional postoperative analgesia, retching, nausea and vomiting, time to mobilization, and hospital length of stay will be evaluated.
