Filter by:After thoracic surgical intervention, patients often feel intense pain with respiratory movements reduction making coughing less effective. The air stacking improves peak of expiratory flow (PEF) and cough peak flow (CPF) in neuro myopathies, thus raising the hypothesis that may also be effective in patients undergoing thoracic surgeries. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness, safety and feasibility of air stacking on postoperative PEF and CPF in patients undergoing thoracic surgeries. Methods: Patients undergoing thoracic surgery underwent air stacking on 3th PO. Dyspnea, pain, SpO2, maximum inspirational pressure (MIP), maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), PEF and CPF were evaluated in pre and postoperatory.
Investigators tried to evaluate the efficacy and safety of xylitol nasal irrigation as an adjuvant therapy after FESS, particularly the influence of nasal irrigation on Eustachian tube function.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using PED (Pulmonary Expansion Device) in tracheostomized patients requiring lung reexpansion therapy within a single institution. The main question it aims to answer is: In tracheostomized patients requiring lung reexpansion therapy, does the utilization of PED (Pulmonary Expansion Device) alongside conventional management constitute a safe and effective strategy for improving oxygenation, lung volumes, and reducing postoperative pulmonary complications, as compared to traditional management alone? Researchers will compare lung expansion therapy with PED plus conventional management versus lung expansion therapy through conventional management in tracheostomized patients to assess the safety and efficacy in terms of improvement in oxygenation, lung volumes, and reduction of postoperative pulmonary complications.
This prospective observational research project aims to investigate how vital sign deterioration and complications within the (PACU) relate to early deterioration and complications in the surgical wards 72 hours post-PACU discharge. The participants studied will be high-risk surgical patients who will follow a normal postoperative course from the PACU to the surgical ward. The investigators seek to evaluate the association between deterioration and complications within the PACU with vital signs deterioration and complications in the surgical wards. Second, the investigators will explore how deterioration and complications affect PACU length of stay, morbidity, mortality, rapid response Teams call-outs (RRT) (Early warning score >7), extra medical patient supervision, and unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. The investigators will also examine the nurses' assessment of the patient's risk of deterioration and complications upon discharge from the PACU and admission to the surgical department.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about active void trial pass rates in patients undergoing urogynecologic surgery. The main question it aims to answer is the comparison in pass rate during active void trial between women who are given 30 minutes versus 60 minutes to void following urogynecologic surgery. Patient will be randomized to two arms prior to scheduled surgery. During the active void trial, women will be allotted up to 30 minutes or up to 60 minutes to void depending on respective randomization.
The aim of this prospective study is investigation of efficiency and safety of medical device "Magic Gyno" in accordance with the stated purpose. To assess the condition of the vaginal walls and vulva before and after laser treatment, the following methods will be used: gynecology examination, vaginal health index, clinical blood test, vaginal flora examination, vaginal pH. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) will be used to collect feedback on changes in the participants life quality. Total up to 70 participants with pathology of pelvic organs will be involved in the study. Participants will be divided into two groups: group with genitourinary symptoms and group with vaginal relaxation symptoms, by 35 participants in each. The time intervals between tests will be the same for both groups. The main hypothesis of the study is improvement in condition of the vaginal walls after laser treatment compared with the condition before treatment.
The study will be carried out in Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University İzzet Baysal Training and Research Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic between January 2022 and February 2023. The population of the study will consist of patients who will undergo coronary artery bypass in a planned heart and meet the inclusion criteria. The sample of the study will consist of patients who meet the inclusion criteria, volunteer to participate in the study, and whose written consent has been obtained. To calculate the sample size of the study; NCSS Pass 11.0 program was used. According to the result calculated in this program, it was seen that a total of 60 people, 30 people in each group, should be reached for two groups and 99% power (α: 0.05). With this study, it is aimed to increase the job satisfaction and quality of nurses as well as to increase the satisfaction of the patients in terms of nursing. By presenting the Complementary Care Model to our country for the first time with this study; In this context, it was planned to determine the effects of music therapy, progressive muscle relaxation exercise, aromatherapy and massage on the outcomes (nausea, vomiting, sleep, anxiety, pain, complications and satisfaction) of coronary artery bypass graft patients.
One of the most common nursing care problems after surgery is defecation problems and the risk of constipation. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the squatting position with footstool on the constipation severity and defecation problems in the postoperative period in patients with hernia surgery.
Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a new mode of mechanical ventilation that delivers ventilatory assist in proportion to neural effort. The investigators hope to compare the hemodynamic and pulmonary effect in children after surgical repair of congenital heart disease with right ventricular hypertrophic ventilated with Pressure control ventilation (PCV), Pressure support ventilation (PSV), and NAVA by a crossover study.
To evaluate the value-based effectiveness of the implementation of TMH Extended post anaesthetic care in PACU during COVID-19 pandemics by an institutional matched case-control and quantitative survey study Two ordinary recovery beds were converted to an overnight intensive recovery ("Extended post-anesthetic care in PACU") within the operating theatre complex of Tuen Mun Hospital during COVID-19 pandemics, in an attempt to free the ICU bed and resources from postoperative patients. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and staff perceptions towards the abrupt implementation of TMH extended post-anesthetic care in PACU by mobilization of the existing OT resources to cope with the COVID-19 emergency situations. The value-based analysis would look into the implementation effectiveness in twofold: 1) the clinical efficacy using a case-control audit on clinical outcomes and 2) the staff acceptance by means of the staff attitudes survey. Hopefully, this would provide a multi-perspective evaluation of the implementation strategies and aid planning of new services in the future.
