NCT ID: NCT06224985 Completed - Tumor Clinical Trials

Computational Anatomy in Surgery for Childhood Tumours and Malformations

IMAG2
Start date: April 16, 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study is part of the launch of a multidisciplinary project called IMAG2, for image-guided minimally invasive surgery. It involves collaboration between the radiology and surgery teams at Necker Hospital and the Image Processing and Interpretation (TII) team at the LTCI at Télécom ParisTech. To make a decision, surgeons need access to a 3D model reflecting the anatomy of the specific patient and its pathological variations. Patient-specific 3D reconstruction provides a significant improvement, leading to a precise assessment of the malformation or tumour and its relationship with surrounding organs, nerves and vessels. It allows the surgeon to simulate a pre-operative procedure, which is a definite advantage in terms of safe, effective and curative surgery, particularly in oncology. MRI has been chosen as the basic imaging technique because of its non-irradiating nature and the current lack of 3D MRI reconstruction technology. The study aims to provide an aid to diagnosis and surgical planning by developing dedicated methods and algorithms for segmenting not only the tumour but also the main anatomical components surrounding the tumour from 3D MRI imaging data. The imaging will be performed on a 3 Tesla MRI. The data will be that required for diagnosis and surgical planning, acquired on a routine clinical basis with an expected benefit for patients.

NCT ID: NCT05894187 Recruiting - Paediatric Surgery Clinical Trials

The Impact of an Animated Video on Preoperative Anxiety in Children Undergoing Elective Otoplasty

Start date: June 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled superiority trial to evaluate the effect of viewing an informative animated video a day prior to surgery on preoperative anxiety in pediatric patients scheduled for elective otoplasty. The primary outcome will be modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) score at the time of general anesthesia induction compared between families that were assigned to view the animated video the day before and those that were not. The participants for this study will be children undergoing elective otoplasty at the IWK Health Centre. Those participants randomized to the intervention group will receive a link to a short survey gauging parent anxiety levels. The survey will be followed by a link to an informative animated video which the participants and their families will watch. The control group will be participants assigned not to receive the email link to the informative animated video.

NCT ID: NCT05681871 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Iron Deficiency Anemia

South African Paediatric Surgical Outcomes Study 2

SAPSOS2
Start date: February 9, 2023
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Preoperative anaemia has been shown to be associated with worse outcomes after surgery in both adults and children. Limited research has been done on how common preoperative iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) is in children and how best to treat it. Oral iron is a relatively cost-effective treatment for IDA. This study aims to show whether giving children with IDA oral iron for 6-12 weeks before their surgery significantly improves their haemoglobin.

NCT ID: NCT05061407 Completed - Surgery Clinical Trials

An African, Multi-centre Evaluation of Patient Care and Clinical Outcomes for Paediatric Patients Undergoing Surgery

ASOS-Paeds
Start date: January 15, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Access to safe surgery is a basic human right. This is highlighted by the work of the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery. There is a large burden of surgical disease in the paediatric surgical population with a large unmet need. In Africa, children comprise a significant proportion of the population with approximately 50% of the population being ≤19 years old. Limited data from Africa suggests the risk factors for, incidence and outcomes associated with paediatric surgical complications differ from HICs. The African Surgical Outcomes Study (ASOS) has described surgical outcomes in adult patients in Africa. There is a need to determine the burden of the complications in paediatric surgical patients in Africa, and the risk factors for and the type of complications experienced. Once this study is completed, the investigators will be able to target appropriate interventions to improve surgical outcomes for children in Africa. The investigators have the capacity to do this important work, through the African Perioperative Research Group (APORG) group.

NCT ID: NCT04564248 Not yet recruiting - Paediatric Surgery Clinical Trials

Setting up a Website in Paediatric Surgery at the Rouen University Hospital for Parents and Children to Better Understand the Postoperative Prescription of Painkillers.

DOLIPAR
Start date: May 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Although outpatient surgery is increasing in France, particularly in paediatrics, compliance with analgesics prescriptions and pain management on return home remain poorly controlled parameters, although they are essential for optimal care. This is due, among other things, to parents' lack of knowledge and fears about the medicines prescribed to them. The paediatric anaesthesia unit of the Rouen University Hospital has set up a website for families to improve understanding of and compliance with the prescription of painkillers and thus improve the management of postoperative pain.
