Filter by:This study aims to investigate the difference in postoperative complications according to the modified Frailty Index (mFI) in patients who underwent minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic tumors at the Asan Medical Center's Department of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery from 2005 to 2019. It also seeks to confirm the utility of mFI as a predictive factor for postoperative complications in frail patients in the future.
This study evaluates the comparison of the incidence of postoperative home pain after ambulatory surgery with general anesthesia between a group with pre-surgical prescription delivered during anesthesia preoperative clinic and a group with postoperative prescription.
This study compare the "Serratus block plane" (SPB) and the local infiltration of the tissue in the prevention of acute and chronic pain after breast cancer surgery.
The iPROVE-O2 trial aims at comparing the efficacy of high and conventional FiO2 within a perioperative individualized ventilatory strategy to reduce the overall incidence of SSI.
Different anesthetic techniques have been proposed for carrying out Inguinal hernia repair, including local anesthesia, regional and general. There are no recent data on the application of a validated questionnaire to assess which anesthetic technique, local infiltration under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia, would provide better quality of recovery in the opinion of the patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. The aim of the study is to perform a randomized clinical trial comparing the quality of recovery (QoR-40) after local infiltration under general anesthesia via laryngeal mask (LMA) or spinal anesthesia for unilateral inguinal hernia repair. METHODS - Seventy patients aged 18 to 65 years old, who were scheduled to undergo unilateral inguinal hernia repair at Santa Lucinda Hospital will be enrolled in the study. The anesthesia will be performed according to the following sequence: L Group - intravenous (I.V.) propofol and alfentanyl, followed by LMA positioning. The anesthesia will be maintained by propofol. For local anesthesia, approximately 50 ml of 0.5% ropivacaine will be infiltrated along the line of incision in the subcutaneous plane, followed by peripheral nerve block technique (e.g., ilioinguinal-hypogastric nerve block) and local wound infiltration at the fascial level. S Group - spinal puncture followed by intrathecal 15 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine injection and sedation with propofol by continuous infusion. Pain will be assessed every 15 minutes at Post-anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) using a 0-10 numeric pain rating scale and I.V. morphine will be administered to maintain the pain score below 4. The QoR-40 will be administered by a blind investigator 24 hours after surgery.
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) refers to the patients in the central nervous system complications after general anesthesia and clinical manifestations of mental disorder, anxiety, personality changes, impaired memory, personality, social skills and cognitive function after surgery for this decline is called postoperative cognitive dysfunction.Due to the lack of effective clinical treatments, how to prevent and solve the postoperative cognitive dysfunction has become a difficulty and a focus of research in the field of anesthesia.Methylprednisolone is a new type of cortical hormone, because of its strong anti-inflammatory effect, less adverse reactions, is widely used in clinical anesthesia.Electric acupuncture as a kind of traditional treatments, after years of clinical application and achieved good curative effect in practice.In this paper by comparing brain oxygen saturation, blood biochemical indexes, Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MOCA) on cognitive function in patients with grade indexes, such as observation of methylprednisolone combined electric acupuncture treatment of elderly patients with general anesthesia early after the operation, the influence of cognitive function. Through comparing the operation of cerebral oxygen saturation, blood biochemical indexes, Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MOCA) on cognitive function in patients with grade indexes, such as observation of methylprednisolone combined electric acupuncture treatment of elderly patients with general anesthesia early after the operation, the influence of cognitive function.
The investigators hypothesized that AQUACEL® Ag Surgical dressing would have a significant improvement in the efficacy of wound care and wound complications compared with traditional Sofra-Tulle® dressings after minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (MIS-TKA).
Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) is mediated by intermittent brief episodes (5-10 minutes) of short ischemia in a limb (i.e. arm), followed by reperfusion. For this purpose in 3-4 cycles, a tourniquet is insufflated to suprasystolic pressure levels for 5 minutes and deflated for 5 minutes afterwards. The ischemic episodes are known to stimulate platelets and factors platelet dependent factors such as Serotonin and VEGF. These humoral factors have a systemic effect and have the potential to protect target organs (i.e. heart, kidney, liver) remote to the ischemic limb. The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the influence and impact of RIPC on postoperative complications in patients undergoing visceral surgery
Elective colectomy procedures typically require bowel preparation starting 2 days prior to the surgery. Osmotic laxatives such as Colyte® are administered 2 days prior, and Nothing by mouth (NPO) is required 1 day prior to ensure no fecal residue is left in the bowel. Though it may ensure a cleaner and safer surgery, this longer period of starvation increases insulin resistance and may increase post-op complications. However, there is evidence that administration of oral rehydration solution(ORS) prior to surgery reduces insulin resistance. Our purpose is to evaluate the difference of insulin resistance in those who received ORS 1 day prior to surgery and those who did not.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether goal directed fluid management using respiratory variations in the oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO2) waveform has potential to decrease postoperative complications and outcomes.
