Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to to evaluate the efficacy of lidocaine sprayed at the laryngeal inlet combined with the endotracheal tube cuff compare with intravenous lidocaine on the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation in patients undergoing elective neurological procedures during general anesthesia with total intravenous technique. The main question it aims to answer is: - Does topical lidocaine sprayed at the laryngeal inlet combined with the endotracheal tube cuff have more effect on stabilizing hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation than intravenous lidocaine, in neurosurgical patients who undergo general anesthesia with total intravenous technique? Participants will be recruited and randomized to receive either lidocaine spray (Group SL) or intravenous lidocaine (group IL) to blunt hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to test the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial that will examine the use of ropivacaine in the spinal anesthesia for patients undergoing elective 1- or 2-level lower spine surgery. This study aims to: - Determine the rates of eligibility, recruitment, consent, and attrition - Determine the acceptability among patients, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses of doing spine surgery under spinal anesthesia - Gather preliminary data on outcomes relevant to a future dose-finding study Participants will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: - General anesthesia with endotracheal tube - Spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine - Spinal anesthesia with ropivacaine
Intracranial infection is one of the common clinical complications after neurosurgery, especially after external cerebrospinal fluid drainage. Postoperative intracranial infection has a very high incidence, and its incidence is about 0.34%-3.1%. Once infection occurs, it will directly affect the length of hospitalization, mortality and disability of postoperative patients. The pathogenic bacteria of postoperative intracranial infections include G-bacteria and G+ bacteria, and fungi. Common G+ bacteria are Staphylococcus aureus. Common G-bacteria are Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bacteria, Escherichia coli and so on. In recent years, studies have reported that postoperative intracranial infections of G-bacteria are gradually increasing. In the previous study of our research group, it was found that Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae accounted for the top two pathogens of postoperative intracranial infections in ICU. In particular, the proportion of carbapenem-resistant G-bacteria has increased, which brings difficulty and challenge to the treatment and seriously affects the prognosis of patients. Different pathogen infections may lead to different prognosis of patients with intracranial infection after neurosurgery. With different pathogens as the starting point, there are few studies comparing the clinical features, risk factors, and prognosis of intracranial infections after neurosurgery. Therefore, it is great significant to explore and understand different pathogenic bacteria, risk factors, drug resistance, treatment options, and prognosis after neurosurgery.
