Filter by:Although tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgeries, a review of literature reveals no articles dealing with the study of intraoperative blood loss in tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy according to the use of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants. The primary aim of our trial will be to compare blood loss in the operating theatre and postoperatively in two groups of children having adenotonsillectomy. The trial numbers will be randomised in blocks.
This is a double-blind, randomized phase 3 multicenter placebo-controlled study in at least 16 evaluable male participants diagnosed with MCT8 deficiency. Male participants, from 4 years of age (at randomization) and having demonstrated stable maintenance treatment with tiratricol, will be randomized to receive placebo or tiratricol for 30 days or until reaching rescue criterion (serum total triiodothyronine [T3] > upper limit of normal [ULN] of the participant's normal range, for a sample collected during the 30-day Randomized Treatment Period). The research hypothesis to be tested is that, for participants in the placebo group, removal of tiratricol will lead to an increase of serum total T3 concentration, measured by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), above the ULN and requirement of rescue treatment with tiratricol, compared to those who continue to receive tiratricol.
The researchers are investigating if the Self-Supporting Nasopharyngeal Airway (ssNPA) device can be used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in children with Hypotonic Upper Airway Obstruction (HUAO).
The primary aim of the work is to compare the efficacy of Sugammadex and neostigmine in reversing rocuronium-induced muscle relaxation to reach complete recovery of neuromuscular block (TOF ratio≥ 0.9) in preterm neonates. The secondary aim is to evaluate the safety of using Sugammadex in preterm neonates and to detect any complications that may occur in this age group.
This study will be held to assess the effect of minimal dose muscle relaxant on postoperative pulmonary function. The time to extubation in minutes will be the primary outcome as a clinical indicator of the return of muscle power. The extubation time will be defined as the time from injecting the muscle relaxant reversing agent given when regain the train of four (TOF) ratio to 0.9 till removal of endotracheal tube. Intraoperative surgical conditions will be assessed in the form of surgeon satisfaction and the need for more muscle relaxant boluses. Postoperative complications as desaturation (peripheral oxygen saturation (Spo2) less than 90%), the need for re-intubation or ventilation support will be recorded. Patient lung will be assessed using ultrasound-based lung aeration score. Also, the diaphragmatic and intercostal muscle function will be assessed in the early postoperative period. Immediate postoperative pulmonary function tests will be evaluated using simple spirometer. Patients will be followed up for 28 days for detection of pulmonary complications.
Interventional study involving the human at risk and minimal constraint (RIPH2), randomized single-blind comparing the impact of osteopathic treatment on the axial tone of the hypotonic infant versus simulation
The purpose of this study is to analyze patterns in individuals with hnRNP (and other) genetic variants, including their neurological comorbidities, other medical problems and any treatment. The investigators will maintain an ongoing database of medical data that is otherwise being collected for routine medical care. The investigators will also collect data prospectively in the form of questionnaires, neuropsychological assessments, motor assessments, and electroencephalography to examine the landscape of deleterious variants in these genes.
When a surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia, the Airways are often secured With an endotracheal tube. Some patients experience sore throat thereafter. Studies have shown a reduction of these side effects when by use of muscle relaxants or a lidocain spray prior to the intubation. At Ostfold Hospital Trust, the investigators use one of the two methods or nothing. These methods will be studied systematically. Heart rate and blood pressure rise during the intubation procedure. The investigators will also study the differences between the groups.
provide evidence for prevention or reduction muscle pain.
This Germany-wide, multi-center, epidemiologic study is designed to evaluate the incidence of post-operative/anesthesia effects of muscle relaxants (i.e. post-operative residual curarization: PORC) and their effect on patient outcome. Aside from biometric data, type of operation, use of muscle relaxants and neuromuscular monitoring, all patients will be clinically evaluated after their operation in the post-anesthesia care unit. To look at long-term effects, patients will be followed-up 28 days after their operation/anesthesia regarding post-operative/anesthesia morbidity and mortality.
