Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of eDialogue versus standard communication pathways on patient-initiated telephone contacts to the hospital following discharge. Secondary aims are to explore the effect on other patient-initiated contacts after hospital discharge (mail, video, SMS, personal attendance) and, if digital team-based communication can positively affect patients experience of continuity of care.
Surgical site infections in orthopaedic surgery are a major problem. Decolonization has been suggested to reduce infection rates. The study was designed as a prospective, controlled, randomized, single-blinded trial to assess the influence of a decolonization procedure in S. aureus and non - S. aureus carriers. In this trial the 2 - year outcome in the subpopulation of prosthetic elective orthopaedic surgery will be evaluated.
The objective is therefore to create a risk score for ADEs in an orthopedic and traumatological surgery department. The study is an prospective, observational, cohort trial. A first step will consist of: (i) a collection of PIs carried out in an orthopedic and traumatological surgery department for 1 month, (ii) a score of the clinical impact of Pharmacist Interventions using the Clinical, Econnomic and organisationnal scale by method of consensus and (iii) a statistical analysis. Statistical analysis consists of (i) logistic regression modeling, (ii) performance measurement by discrimination and calibration, and internal validation by resampling. In a second step, external validation using a new sample will be performed.
The main objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of continuous nerve blocks with single injection in terms of perioperative patient satisfaction after scheduled orthopedic ambulatory surgery. Subgroup analyses will be performed, a priori, according to patients Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and type of surgery. Secondary objectives comprise the assessment of pain, readmission rates, patient mobilization, quality of sleep and heart rate collected by an activity tracker. Scales about quality of recovery will be performed on day 1, about quality of life on day 45 and presence of neuropathic pain will be screened at 3 months. An economic study will also be conducted, including work resumption at 3 months. This is a multicentric prospective study. Three hundred patients will be randomized in two parallel groups: continuous nerve blocks delivered thru remote-controlled electronic pump versus single local anesthetics injection. The primary endpoint is the EVAN-G patient satisfaction scale, scored at day 2. Secondary endpoints will include assessment of pain, opiates consumption, sensitivity and motricity scores, rate of catheter falls at home, hospital readmission, patient mobilization, sleep and heart rate as assessed by an activity tracker, PCS before the surgery and Quality of Recovery (QoR-40) scale at day 1, Short-Form 36 (SF36) at day 45 and Neuropathic Pain assessment (DN4) at day 90.
The purposes of this study are to determine if use of the Postoperative Care at Home (PoCAH) tailored self-management program delivered via mobile technology (a mobile app) after discharge to home will result in: 1) fewer and/or less intense patient symptoms (pain, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, sore throat, constipation, sleep dysfunction); 2) enhanced patient satisfaction, perceived self-efficacy, and quality of life; 3) lower healthcare resource use (patient to healthcare provider calls; unscheduled patient appointments with healthcare providers; and hospital readmission and emergency department use). A secondary objective is to assess how easy the mobile app was to use after orthopaedic ambulatory surgery.
The main objective of this study is to improve our knowledge on the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacogenetic relationships of morphine administered to relief severe postoperative pain. The analysis will encompass the efficacy (acute during titration and subacute during the first 24 hours) and adverse effects of morphine. Our purpose is also to better characterize the age- and sex-related differences which probably markedly differ between the two periods (acute vs sub acute).
