Filter by:Postsurgical pain is now known to be one of the most common and difficult-to-treat complications of surgery. severe postoperative pain can significantly impair patients' quality of life, social functioning and contribute to excessive health care expenditures. It is worth noting that acute postoperative pain may play a vital role in central sensitization and up-regulation of pain receptors, even factors implicated in the development of CPSP. According to previous studies, the incidence of postoperative pain among patients undergoing spinal surgery was nearly 80%. At the same time, perioperative pain management of patients undergoing spinal surgery has not been clearly. For the past few years, pregabalin and esketamine are becoming important roles in perioperative pain management, lots of studies have shown that these two analgesics might relieve postoperative pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute analgesic effects of esketamine and pregabalin in combination after spinal cord neoplasms resection, so as to find a better way to help the patients undergoing spinal surgery keep away from the acute perioperative pain.
This prospective observational study investigated the validity and reliability of a new postoperative track assessment tool. We hypothesized, first, that this tool estimates the indication and benefit of a management in an intermediate care unit (IMC). Second, we hypothesized that a) health care providers of IMC or postoperative anaesthesia care unit (PACU) have similar estimations using this tool and b) that this estimation is accurately established in the first 2 hours.
Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the leading causes of patient morbidity after laparoscopic bariatric surgeries. A wide variety of complications related to PONV has been described, such as prolonged length of stay (LOS) in hospital, unnecessary readmissions, delay in oral intake, and bad experience for patients. Although several antiemetic regimens have been tried so far in different studies, the incidence of PONV is not significantly lowered, and it seems that it is impossible to totally eliminate it. On the other hand, the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has greatly reduced the incidence of PONV and LOS. Therefore, a combination of ERAS and multiple antiemetic regimens is currently used to reduce the incidence of PONV. Nevertheless, the optimal regimen has not been found yet, and many trials are conducting to find out the best antiemetic regimen. In this randomized clinical trial, we compare four different combined and single regimens alongside the implementation of ERAS to show which regimen is more effective.
Flap reconstruction is utilised increasingly for repair of skin and soft tissue defects following pelvic exenteration. Many methods have been proposed but the outcomes associated with each remain largely unknown and the choice dependant on surgeon preference and patient/ disease characteristics. This review sought to assess the preferred methods for perineal reconstruction following pelvic exenteration by retrospectively assessing the outcomes associated with each at an international, multi-centre level.
Preoperative fasting is considered to be refraining from taking meals for at least 6 hours and clear fluids for at least 2 hours before anesthesia. On the one hand, it is a procedure that reduces the risk of aspiration of chyme and the occurrence of Mendelson's syndrome, and on the other hand, it is one of the causes of water and carbohydrate disturbances in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Most of them experience some degree of dehydration in the preoperative period. It is associated with a worse prognosis. Due to the negative impact of fasting on homeostasis, as well as significant changes in heart rate in participants in the previous study, we decided to measure the hemodynamic parameters during fasting. The development of impedance cardiography techniques enables the measurement of these parameters by a non-invasive method. After obtaining the participant's written consent to participate in the study, the first measurement of body weight, blood pressure using a non-invasive method and hemodynamic parameters using a non-invasive impedance cardiography method using the Niccomo ™ device (Medizinische Messtechnik GmbH) will be performed in the evening. The subject will then be asked to refrain from food for at least 10 hours and fluid for 6 hours before the next measurement. The next morning, another measurement will be made and the participant will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: subjects in the first group will be asked to refrain from eating and drinking for another 2 hours, while subjects in the second group per os will receive 400 milliliters of PreOp® (Nutricia ™ preparation intended for preoperative dietary management in surgical patients, containing carbohydrates and electrolytes). After another two hours, the third measurement of the tested parameters will be performed. The obtained results will be subjected to statistical analysis consisting in comparing the values of hemodynamic parameters between the studied groups at appropriate measurement points.
Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) with hemodynamic monitoring may not be of benefit to all elective patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, particularly those managed in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols (ERAS) setting.
Preoperative fasting is defined as refraining from food for at least 6 hours and clear fluids for at least 2 hours prior to anaesthesia. On the one hand, it is a procedure that reduces the risk of aspiration of food content and the occurrence of Mendelson's syndrome, and on the other hand, it was considered to be the cause of disturbances in water management in patients undergoing general anaesthesia. However, reports from recent years have found that moderate preoperative fasting does not influence the risk of hypovolemia in anesthetized patients. It is also known that in fasting people the total body water is reduced. Thus, it can be assumed that there are mechanisms causing the movement of extravascular water into the lumen of blood vessels. For several years, the Body Composition Monitor (BCM) device for non-invasive measurement of the volume of individual water compartments of the human body has been available on the market. It allows to determine the volume of total body water, intracellular body water and extracellular body water. It is mainly used during dialysis, but it can also be used in other circumstances that require the determination of the body's hydration status. The principle of this method is based on non-invasive bioimpedance measurement with the use of 4 electrodes placed on two extremities. The aim of the study is to determine whether there is a fluid shift between the intracellular and extracellular compartments in people undergoing preoperative fasting. Examination of this issue would allow for the development of hypothesis regarding the optimal perioperative fluid therapy. If there was a shift of fluid from the intracellular space, it seems more rational to supplement fluid deficiencies resulting from starvation with a 5% glucose solution. If, on the other hand, no fluid shift from the intracellular space was detected, which would suggest shifts within the extracellular space, it would be advisable to hydrate the patient with crystalloid solutions.
The aim of the study was to assess whether administration of gabapentin and methylprednisolone as "pre-emptive analgesia" in a group of patients above 65 years of age would be effective in complex pain management therapy following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). For the study investigators will qualify one hundred seventy, above 65 years old patients. The participants will be double-blind randomized into two groups: the study and controls The study group will receive as "pre-emptive" analgesia a single dose of 300 mg oral gabapentin and 125 mg intravenous methylprednisolone, while the others placebo. Perioperatively, all the patients will receive opioid and nonopioid analgesic agents calculated for 1 kg of body weight. Investigators will measure the levels of inflammatory markers (leukocytosis, C-reactive protein - CRP), pain intensity level at rest (numerical rating scale - NRS), the life parameters and all complications.
Total mesorectal excision has greatly reduced the local recurrence rate of rectal cancer after colorectal surgery. Transanal total mesorectal excision(TaTME) is potentially a suitable option for patients with middle and low rectal cancer. Robotic systems are expected to develop the advantages of TaTME to overcome the limitations of laparoscopic surgery. This study aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of robotic assisted transanal total mesorectal excision in patients with rectal cancer.
The applicant and research team partners have over the last years developed the WARD project (Wireless Assessment of Respiratory and circulatory Distress), using wireless continuous monitoring of vital signs in high-risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. An important perioperative indicator not currently included in the WARD project is continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), which may not only predict and identify hypo- and hyperglycemia, but also utilize the information from variations in blood glucose in combination with other changes in vital signs to predict surgical complications in all patients. The current study involves the inclusion of 80 patients, scheduled for major abdominal, orthopedic or vascular surgery, to be monitored with CGM in addition to the currently measured vital signs. The project is a prospective, observational, clinical study, describing and analyzing variations in perioperative blood glucose levels and vital signs, and the relation to adverse clinical outcomes. Patients scheduled for elective surgery will preferentially be recruited at the preoperative assessment at a maximum of 30 days before surgery. CGM and monitoring of the remaining vital sign modalities will commence on the day of surgery. Patients admitted for acute surgery will be recruited preoperatively and CGM as well monitoring of the remaining vital sign modalities will commence as soon as possible. The patients will be monitored with CGM for up to 10 days and with the remaining modalities for up to 5 days or for all modalities until discharge or withdrawal of consent.
