Filter by:SaCo videolaryngeal mask airway is a novel third generation supraglottic device allowing for continuous observation of entrance to larynx via inserted in special channel videoscope connected with cable with external monitor. In obese patients airway management can be difficult so use of new devices that improve safety and potentially efficacy of airway management is indicated. In prospective observational study the SaCo VLM will be evaluated in terms of maintaining airway patency and effectiveness of intubation through it's lumen in morbidly obese scheduled for elective general surgery under general anesthesia.
The goal of this Randomized Clinical trial is to to investigate if the use of Air Pressure Release Ventilation in morbidly obese patients undergoing open heart surgery will improve post operative pulmonary outcomes 60 Patients will be randomized into two groups according to the mode of ventilation used into: Group A: airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) group (30 Patients) Group B: Standard (control) group (30 Patients) Post-operatively, Patients will be ventilated with conventional Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) volume control mode
The aim of this study is to compare the possible efficacy of ondansetron and gabapentin on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patient with morbid obesity who will undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
The present randomized clinical trial aims to prove the safety and efficacy of an interactive mobile application (Care4Today®) to obtain sufficient weight loss and empower patients with morbid obesity before being submitted to a gastric by-pass.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two different daily doses of tetrahydrocannabivarin impregnated mouth strips in healthy non-diabetic obese adults. The main questions to answer are: - Is the low dose treatment superior to placebo for losing weight, abdominal girth, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels? - Is the low dose treatment superior to placebo for losing weight, abdominal girth, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels? - Is one dose better than the other dose? Participants will take either the low dose, high dose or placebo dose daily for ninety days and have physical measurements and blood tests obtained at the beginning and the end of the study.
Morbid obesity, is known to be associated with a high risk of VTE and, unfortunately, fixed doses of anticoagulant regimens may not provide optimal VTE prophylaxis in these patients especially after surgery.
To investigate if laparoscopic Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block using plain bupivacaine is equivalent to using liposomal bupivacaine in patients undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery. The study will see if the plain bupivacaine group will be equivalent in terms of length of stay, Morphine Milligram Equivalents, Pain scores and patient satisfaction, but cost less.
Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is increasing in its prevalence and is the most prevalent cutaneous manifestation in individuals with obesity. Insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia is the main pathophysiological mechanism of obesity-related AN. However, the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on insulin secretion pattern in Chinese morbidly obese patients with AN is unknown. In these study, the investigators aimed to explore the insulin secretion patterns in Chinese morbidly obese patients with Acanthosis nigricans (AN) and their alterations after LSG.
This study aims to evaluate the possible efficacy of baclofen on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patient with morbid obesity who will undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
A quasi-experimental study developed in sedentary morbidly obese men and women (age 43.6±11.3 y; body mass index [BMI] ≥40 kg/m2) were assigned to a CT group of ET plus RT (ET+RT; n=19; BMI 47.8±16.7) or RT plus ET order group (RT+ET; n=17; BMI 43.0±8.0). Subjects of both groups received eight exercise sessions over four weeks. Systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), mean arterial pressure [MAP], heart rate at rest [HR], and pulse pressure [PP] measurements before and after 10 minutes postexercise. Secondary outcomes were other anthropometric, body composition, metabolic, and physical condition parameters. Using the ∆SBP reduction, and quartile categorization (Q) in 'high' (Rs: quartile 4), 'moderate' (MRs: quartile 3), 'low' (LRs: quartile 2), and 'nonresponders' (NRs: quartile 1) were reported.
