Filter by:Because autonomic neuropathy affects the constriction of thermoregulatory blood vessels, it is more difficult for diabetic patients to maintain their own body temperature in cold environments than normal people, and therefore it is more difficult for diabetic patients to maintain a relatively constant body temperature regardless of the temperature of the environment than normal people. So are diabetic patients under general anesthesia more susceptible to intraoperative hypothermia? How does heart rate variability change in diabetic patients under general anesthesia? If diabetic patients are more susceptible to intraoperative hypothermia under general anesthesia, is this related to their cardiac autonomic dysfunction?
The expanded use of SGLT2 inhibitors motivates us to assess the role of SGLT2 inhibitors in perioperative period on patients who will undergo cardiac surgery in Assiut University.
Stroke is the most common cause of disability in elderly people (over 65years of age) and the third most common cause of death in the world . The World Health Organization estimates that one in six people globally will suffer from stroke in their lifetime. Perioperative stroke is the most unwanted complication for patients, as well as for surgeons and anesthesiologists . The reported risk of perioperative stroke varies with the type of surgery. Its incidence is generally not high (approximate 0.1-1.9%) in non-cardiac, non-neurologic, and non-major surgery However, it may occur in up to 10% of patients undergoing high-risk cardiac or brain surgery . Patients with perioperative stroke are less likely to have a good functional outcome and have an eight-fold higher mortality compared with those without perioperative stroke
The goal of this randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) compared to standard point-of-care (POC) blood glucose measurements in surgical patients with diabetes in patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can the use of the CGM device Dexcom G7 with real-time alerts on dysglycaemia increase the time in range for glucose levels as compared with standard monitoring with point-of-care blood glucose in surgical patients with diabetes? Participants will be asked to wear a CGM device (Dexcom G7, Dexcom Inc.) during their stay in the hospital. For patients in the intervention group, deviations of glucose levels will provide the nursing staff with alerts. All patients will receive standard care of their diabetes. The CGM device will be worn for up to 10 days or until discharge.
Perioperative myocardial injury/infarction (PMI) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are common causes of morbidity and mortality in patients at increased cardiovascular risk undergoing non-cardiac surgery. However, research in recent years has yielded limited preventive and therapeutic measures for PMI/MACE. Recent studies in patients with chronic and acute coronary artery disease have shown that colchicine administration can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. These encouraging results in non-surgical patients ask for a similar investigation in patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. The aim of the proposed study is to investigate the effects of perioperative colchicine administration on the incidence of PMI/MACE.
Complications after surgery are common and a burden for patients and health services. Therefore it is important that clinicians improve surgical outcomes. Mitochondria are the part of the body's cells that manage energy. Research has already shown that how our body's mitochondria behave can predict who survives in intensive care patients. The investigators think this could also predict who is more likely to develop complications after surgery. Therefore a study has been designed to find out if changes in mitochondria are related to postoperative complications. This will help doctors improve how they prepare patients for surgery and potentially how they manage their treatment, and result in improving outcomes for patients after surgery. This study will recruit patients scheduled for major abdominal surgery as part of their treatment. The investigators will take samples of breath, blood and muscle to measure changes in mitochondria from the day before surgery to 7 days postoperatively. The muscle samples will only be taken when the patient is asleep having their operation. These samples will be used to analyse mitochondria. This study will be in two phases. Phase 1 is a pilot of up to 10 patients focussed on feasibility. Following this there will be an interim data analysis. The results may allow further optimisation to reduce the patient burden, eg reduction in sampling frequency, or avoiding need for muscle biopsy. The second phase will be a full cohort study of up to 40 patients, focussed on association of mitochondrial markers with clinical outcomes, such as postoperative complications, oxygen levels, pain, confusion and length of intensive care stay. The results of this study could improve how doctors select and prepare patients for surgery. It may also affect how doctors manage their treatment during and after operations. This could result in reducing complications and illness burden for patients after surgery.
To assess mortality and morbidity associated to anesthesia interventions
The goal of this double-blind, randomized controlled trial is to test the effect of short-term and high-dose vitamin D therapy in patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
This is a registry-based study of elective vascular surgical patients undergoing intermediate or high-risk vascular surgical interventions at Groote Schuur hospital, a tertiary academic center, over a 12 month period.
The Post discharge after surgery Virtual Care with Remote Automated Monitoring technology (PVC-RAM)-2 Trial is a multicentre, parallel group, superiority, randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of virtual care with remote automated monitoring (RAM) technology compared to standard care on acute-hospital care during the 30-day follow up after randomization, in adults who have undergone semi-urgent (e.g., oncology), urgent (e.g., hip fracture), or emergency (e.g., ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm) surgery. Secondary outcomes at 30 days after randomization include 1) hospital re-admission; 2) emergency department visit; 3) medication error detection; 4) medication error correction; and 5) surgical site infection. Additional secondary outcomes are pain of any severity, and moderate-to-severe pain assessed at 7, 15, and 30 days. We will also assess optimal management of long-term health by evaluating among patients with atherosclerotic disease whether patients are taking classes of efficacious medications at 30 days.
