Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine whether the fasting duration required for patients after consuming oral jelly is comparable to that after consuming water, prior to elective surgery. International guidelines for perioperative fasting recommend abstaining from clear fluids for 2 hours to minimize the risk of regurgitation and aspiration pneumonia. However, there are no specific recommendations regarding the perioperative management of jelly consumption. Current understanding emphasizes the benefits of minimizing preoperative fasting time, including preventing dehydration and metabolic complications like ketoacidosis, as well as potentially enhancing patient satisfaction. Oral jelly consumption may offer advantages by improving preoperative hydration and providing some nutritional support prior to procedures. This crossover study will involve 25 adult volunteers. In the first phase, participants will be randomly assigned to either oral intake of water or jelly, followed by the opposite intervention in the second phase. Gastric content and volume will be assessed using gastric ultrasound.
This study evaluates potential of music therapy treatment to support breathing, speech, swallow and cough of persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Music therapy is the clinical use of music and its elements to enhance human health and wellbeing. Application of music therapy principles in neurorehabilitation allow to treat cognitive, sensory, and motor dysfunctions.
