Filter by:Variety of physical therapy treatments have been used after open abdominal surgery to improve cardiopulmonary and physical function as well as to reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. This study intends to determine the effect of early physical therapy interventions on post-operative recovery profile, post-operative ileus and incisional pain following abdominal hysterectomy.
Research objectives To compare the efficacy of acupressure with no acupressure to examine time to first flatus in patient post cesarean section ; Acupressure at ST-36 Zusanli (lateral to anterior crest of tibia, in the tibialis anterior muscle) Research hypothesis Patients who received acupressure will have earlier flatus passage
The purpose of this study is to develop an effective telephone mediated follow-up system to reduce the number of unplanned readmissions and emergency department visits after total joint arthroplasty. This will help reduce costs related to unnecessary visits to the hospital as well as catch complications earlier on. The investigators plan to accomplish this by performing a pilot study that will compare the outcomes of using an Interactive Voice Response system through phone call in addition to the standard follow-up protocol. The outcomes of this group will be compared to those receiving the standard of care follow-up protocol.
The aim of our study is to prevent unnecessary intensive care unit hospitalizations by developing a scoring system to detect low-risk patients after elective intracranial neurosurgery operation.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of the level of metabolites used in routine on mortality and morbidity in patients who will undergo intracranial surgery with craniotomy.
The Vienna Preserflo Microshunt Cohort Study is an observational study with a prospective postoperative examination in all glaucoma patients who had received a Preserflo Microshunt (PMS) as standalone procedure or in combination with cataract extraction in the time period between January and November 2019 at the Department of Ophthalmology, Medical University of Vienna. It is estimated that approximately 70 patients will be included of this cohort. The cohort will be invited for a prospective postoperative examination after 12 (±5) months of follow up. This examination shall comprise best corrected visual acuity, visual field test, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, slit lamp examination, fundus examination (optic disc and retina), gonioscopic assessment of PMS position, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) (shunt position, anterior chamber angle assessment, limbus shape analysis), corneal pachymetry, specular microscopy of corneal endothelial cells. Additionally, retrospective information concerning IOP, medication and visual fields of all patients will be collected from the Department of Ophthalmology as well as from the referring ophthalmologists where possible. Additionally, we will perform a comparison between two groups to compare differences in outcome measures.
Observational study to determine the optimal timing for surgery following SARS-CoV-2 infection and assess key global surgery indicators.
a comparative prospective study of postoperative between minimally invasive and open surgery complications for esophageal replacement in children
Major abdominal surgery is associated with significant complications which may lead to morbidity and mortality. Pain experienced after surgery affects the recovery from surgery. Our study aims to evaluate the current gold standard of PCA morphine infusion against a continuous wound infusion (CLoWI). The use of CLoWI negates the side-effects of opioids, and will be the first randomised controlled trial to compare PCA (Morphine) with CLoWI-LA (Ropivacaine).
This study is aimed to only observe the feeding practices after surgery in children undergoing below umbilicus surgery in day care and any impact of length of fasting on vomiting after surgery. If the child meets the criteria for being included in this study, the parents will be provided with informed consent form at the time of arrival at the daycare unit or at the time of arrival in the waiting area of the operating room. If parents agree and sign the consent form, then the child will be included in the study. The length of fasting period after the surgery and any episode of vomiting from after surgery till discharge time to home, will be recorded on a printed form. The nature of this study is only observation and the child will not be subjected to any new technique or medications. Parents will also be contacted on the next day of surgery on the phone number for any further observation about the child's feeding and vomiting and parental satisfaction with the anesthesia given will also be asked.
