Filter by:Background: In foreign countries, mobile x-ray already is being used where transfer to the radiology department at the hospital may be an obstacle. Using mobile x-ray, the x-ray examination is performed in the patients own home with transportable equipment that reminds of the transportable x-ray equipment that is being used in the intensive care units. At The Department of Radiology (DOR), Aarhus University Hospital there is an ongoing project mobile x-ray for patients living in nursing homes in Aarhus. The project will be evaluated inspired by the Triple Aim Approach in three sub studies. Overall aim: The overall aim is to conclude if mobile x-ray improves healthcare for fragile patients. Hypotheses: - Patients examined with mobile x-ray have fewer number of hospital admissions compared with patients examined with x-ray at DOR. - Patients examined with mobile x-ray are more satisfied with their examination compared with patients examined with x-ray at DOR. Sub study 1 - Population health Aim: The primary aim is to study if mobile x-ray improves the health of the defined population measured in hospital admission. Also to study challenges conducting a RCT. The outcome measures: The primary outcome is hospital admissions. Sub study 2 - Experience of care Aim: The aim is to study the satisfaction with mobile x-ray compared the satisfaction to x-ray at DOR. Methods: Observations, interview and questionnaires.
The goal of this study is to establish whether an opioid-sparing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program in ambulatory anorectal surgery can be safely introduced at a single tertiary referral center without an increase in postoperative pain or negative impact on the patient experience. A single-center, single-blinded randomized control trial is proposed, where patients will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either usual care, which includes extended opioids (control group) or the enhanced recovery group (experimental), which includes preemptive pain control, targeted education, and multimodal opioid-sparing pain management during the intraoperative and postoperative periods. The expected outcome is that the enhanced recovery program will significantly reduce opioid utilization with comparable pain scores and patient satisfaction after anorectal surgery.
The primary purpose of this study is to objectively assess if interactive multimedia tutorials (online videos) enhances patients' comprehensive understanding of assisted reproductive technology (ART) adding EngagedMD, an online library of interactive videos, compared to the traditional process of consent and one-on-one teaching using a 15 question evaluation. The secondary outcome will be to qualitatively assess patients' overall experience of the teaching process comparing the addition of the EngagedMD content to solely traditional teaching for infertility treatment.
This study is to compare 2 groups in nulliparous women undergoing cervical ripening for induction of labor. The study hypothesis is that outpatient cervical preparation with a foley catheter can reduce the induction of labor (IOL) time interval from admission to delivery by 50%. A 30 ml transcervical foley catheter is a safe mode of cervical preparation in the outpatient setting, as concluded in Diederen et al, Sciscinoe et al, and Kelly et al. Findings from studies on nulliparous, term, singleton vertex (NTSV) showed patients can be applied to a wide variety of maternity unit sizes as discussed by Main et al. No previous study has evaluated the effectiveness of outpatient cervical preparation in the NTSV population by PUBMED search. Further, no previous study has assessed patient satisfaction cervical preparation in the outpatient setting and no previous study has evaluated whether outpatient cervical preparation has an impact on the length of stay and cost of hospitalization. This study will explore these important questions with the goal of improving current practices in labor induction to be more patient-centered, pragmatic, and cost-effective.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women at worldwide. Even a minor breast surgery can cause significant postoperative pain (PP) (1). PP could be converted into chronic pain in 25-40% of cases. Inadequate PP control is associated with increased morbidity, delay in wound healing, prolonged hospital stay, increased opioid use, increased side effects and high cost of care. For these reasons, regional anesthetic techniques are recommended for effective PP management. Some of recent studies suggest that ultrasound-guided pectoral I (PI), pectoral II (PII) and serratus plan block (SPB) may be an alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia and paravertebral block applications because of the ease of administration, low side effect profile and adequate analgesia in breast surgery.

A study examining the benefits of music therapy on patients, families, and unit staff on acute neurologic or inpatient rehabilitation units.
Patient satisfaction and safety with propofol based sedation with or without fentanyl for gastrointestinal endoscopy
A randomized controlled trial that will evaluate whether telephone two-week postoperative follow up visits are an acceptable and safe alternative to traditional face-to-face-clinic two-week postoperative visits.
The purpose of the study is to determine if providing coffee to patients who self-identify as coffee drinkers postoperatively will decrease the length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).
This study compares patient satisfaction after labor and delivery with access to either the default educational materials available, or to a table computer set to display an educational website, thepainlesspush.com.
