Filter by:Painless endoscopy is a popular endoscopic diagnosis and treatment method at present, and propofol combined with fentanyl general intravenous anesthesia has been widely used in painless endoscopic diagnosis and treatment.However, the combined application of the two has an obvious respiratory center inhibition effect, leading to the decrease of blood oxygen saturation in patients, especially obese patients, more prone to blood oxygen plunge, even threatening life.Due to the potential risk of upper airway obstruction in some obese patients, intraoperative hypoventilation may occur during painless colonoscopy due to the influence of sedative and analgesic drugs, thus causing hypoxia in patients. In addition, the anatomical and pathological changes of obese patients themselves make hypoxia tolerance poor and airway establishment difficult, which may endanger the safety of patients.Currently, supracloglottic ventilation devices that have little impact on patients and are easy to accept are often used clinically to complete short daytime operations. The most common is the application of oropharyngeal ventilation to solve upper airway obstruction , however, oropharyngeal ventilation is inconvenient to use in gastroenteroscopy and treatment, while nasopharyngeal ventilation is suitable. However, based on the experience of observers,Although the nasopharyngeal airway can play a good role in the unobtrusived airway, the incidence of nasopharyngeal hemorrhage is high, and the comfort of patients is poor. Therefore, the researchers considered to directly insert the nasopharyngeal airway into the pharyngeal cavity next to the oral pad through the mouth, so as to achieve the effect of unobtrusived airway and increase the local oxygen concentration, and the idea of this experiment came from this.
Interventional radiology is developing. Patient information modalities are also evolving, in particular information videos. The aim of this work is therefore the evaluation of patient information in interventional radiology
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) can reliably restore active forward elevation, abduction, and external rotation, which are often lost in patients with massive rotator cuff tears. However, functional internal rotation (i.e., functional movements of the hand behind the body) is often unsatisfactorily restored and/or lost after RTSA. This study aims to compare the standard surgical approach for RTSA to RTSA with conjoint tendon resection with the targeted metric being postoperative functional internal rotation.
This study aims to investigate pain management and satisfaction following orthognathic surgery, which is a type of surgery that corrects jaw and facial bone issues. This type of surgery can result in significant post-operative pain for participants, and the goal of this study is to find a way to manage this pain in a more effective and safe manner. The study will focus on the use of opioid pain medication and will compare two groups: one group will receive a standardized prescription plan. In contrast, the other group will receive a personalized prescription with a plan to taper the opioid medication. In the end, any unused opioid will be compared at the end of the 7-day post-discharge period between the two groups. This is important because excessive opioid prescription can either be diverted to the community or can be misused leading to opioid use disorders. Data will be collected from pre-surgery appointments, during the surgery and hospital stay, and follow-up appointments. The data collected will include participants' demographics, medical history, type of surgery, and information about the pain medication used. The study hypothesizes that the personalized prescription plan will result in less unused medication and higher satisfaction with pain management compared to the standardized prescription plan. The study will also stratify the participants into single-jaw surgery and double-jaw surgery groups to evaluate if any differences in the outcomes are observed. This study will help to provide guidance for future pain management practices for participants undergoing orthognathic surgery. Furthermore, this study will also benefit society by providing insights into addressing the opioid crisis that is currently affecting many communities across North America.
A pilot non-randomized controlled study examined whether the use of VR technology can serve as an appropriate substitute for sedation in a colonoscopy examination.
The goal of the study is to determine if patient-controlled sedation (PCS) with propofol and alfentanil reduces patient-reported pain perception during implantation of subcutaneous venous port (SVP). The main question it aims to answer: How much pain did you (patient) experience during SVP-implantation Several other questions will be answered regarding: patient´s perception of the procedure, complication rate, procedure data. The study contains two groups which will be compared. Control group: will do SVP implantation under local anaesthesia Study group: will do SVP implantation under local anaesthesia and patient-controlled sedation. The patients are asked to complete a questionnaire postoperatively which contains questions on pain perception and satisfaction.
This is a prospective study-registry on preoperative patient characteristics and postoperative complications in patients having fast-track hip and knee replacement surgery in 8 Danish dedicated arthroplasty departments from all five health regions in Denmark. The registry consists of detailed patient and physician reported preoperative characteristics and including prescribed medication and lab results. Follow-up is based on electronical medical records by dedicated nurses with physician backup and includes Clavien-Dindo and Comprehensive Complication Index scoring. All patients having day-surgery also completes a patient reported questionaire on health-care utilization and return to work by day 30. Finally, a machine-learning algorithm for identification of "high-risk" patients based on he preoperative data is included.
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients may be unsatisfied to entecavir (ETV) therapy due to the inconvenience in drug taking, i.e., fasting for more than 2 hours and/or dose adjustment according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). However, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has been approved to be highly effective and safe in patients with CHB, and is convenient in drug taking, i.e., once daily regardless food taking and renal function.Therefore,TAF can be a good option in CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to assess the improvement on satisfaction (including drug adherence) of TAF switch therapy in CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy. In addition, with expected adherence improvement in TAF switch therapy, the efficacy of TAF switch therapy may be improved, and the efficacy benefits can be evaluated by the changes of some novel biomarkers, such as HBV core-related antigen (HBcrAg). The investigators therefore aim to conduct a prospective cohort study of TAF switch therapy for CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy.
The study team aims to investigate whether implementing virtual reality therapy (VRT) during Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA) procedure will provide better alleviation of procedural pain and augmented satisfaction for patients.
- Objectives: To assess whether the implementation of pre-procedural consultations and the use of explanatory audiovisual tools prior to performing Vascular and Interventional Radiology procedures improve the understanding of interventions by patients, improve satisfaction with the information provided and reduce anxiety experienced by the procedure. - Methods: We will conduct a two-arm randomized clinical trial that will include patients undergoing Vascular and Interventional Radiology procedures. After consent to participation by signing the informed consent, participants will be randomly assigned to the control group (patients to whom the information about the procedure is provided by the requesting physician) and to the experimental group (patients who, in addition to being informed by the requesting physicians, are attended by interventional radiologists in consultation after previously viewing explanatory videos of the interventions). Multi-choice questionnaires will be used to assess understanding and knowledge of the interventions and validated scales to measure satisfaction with the information provided and anxiety experienced. Knowledge and understanding of the intervention, satisfaction with the information transmitted and the method of transmission, as well as anxiety related to the intervention will be compared between the control group and the experimental group. The Student's t-test and the Mann-Whitney test will be used for the comparison of quantitative variables and the chi-square test and Fisher's exact test for the comparison of qualitative variables. Regression analysis will be used to evaluate associations between variables. - Expected results: To demonstrate that the implementation of pre-procedural consultations attended by interventional radiologists and the use of educational audiovisual tools prior to performing Vascular and Interventional Radiology procedures improve the understanding of interventions by patients, their satisfaction with the information provided and reduces the anxiety experienced for the procedure. - Potential impact: It is the first clinical trial that analyzes the usefulness of pre-procedural consultations and audiovisual tools in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, so its results will be very interesting to help standardize clinical practice in Vascular and Interventional Radiology.
