Filter by:High concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) are common in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study is aimed to investigate effects of vitamin D status and its multiple mega-dosage supplementation on PTH and clinical outcomes in HCC patients before and after hepatectomy. It's a single-center, prospective, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled study for 120 eligible subjects. The subjects will receive consecutively 3-day intervention treatments from 7th day before surgery. 30-day postoperative mortality, postoperative complications, and laboratory data will be evaluated.
The investigators designed a protocol for a Bayesian unplanned posthoc analysis using the pooled dataset from three large randomized clinical trials. The primary endpoint will be a composite of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) within the first seven postoperative days, which reflects the primary endpoint of the original studies. The investigators will carry out a reanalysis of the harmonised database using Bayesian statistics.
Frailty is a clinical condition associated with aging that is characterized by a decline in physiological capacity involving multiple organ systems. Previous research has established a strong correlation between frailty and increased mortality and morbidity risk after surgery. The 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) is a recent tool used to assess frailty. The aim of the present study was to use the mFI-5 to identify frailty and its association with postoperative adverse outcomes, including mortality and morbidity, among patients who underwent urologic procedures.
To assess mortality and morbidity associated to anesthesia interventions
This study aims to find out the role of plasma I-FABP level, SOFA score, fluid balance, and vasopressor dose in predicting gastrointestinal dysfunction in high-risk postoperative patients treated in ICU
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is considered to be a golden standard in preoperative risk assessment and stratification of high risk patients scheduled for major surgery. However, not all of the patients requiring surgery are willing or able to complete this type of testing. Vascular surgery patients are predominantly elderly people, with significant comorbidity and high degree of frailty and often can not undergo CPET. In recent years, new parameters with similar prognostic value as standard CPET parameters were studied. Specifically, the partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) at rest has been shown to have the same prognostic value as ventilatory efficiency. We hypothesized low PETCO2 at rest will be associated with the development of pulmonary and cardiovascular post-operative complications in patients after major vascular surgery. Accordingly, our aim is to compare PETCO2 measured at rest before surgery in patients who develop post-operative complications and in those who do not.
The goal of this stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial is to investigate whether implementation of a best practice program for preoperative optimisation (prehabilitation program) with a focus on screening, assessment, and intervention of 8 potentially (partly) modifiable risk factors in patients with (suspected) pancreatic cancer will improve outcome. The main questions it will aim to answer are: 1. Does a prehabilitation program improve the time to functional recovery after pancreatic surgery? 2. Does a prehabilitation program lead to a reduction in the Comprehensive Complication Index after pancreatic surgery?
Ciprofol is a novel 2,6-disubstituted phenol derivatives and is proved have much higher potency and tighter binding toward ɣ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor while maintaining a fast on-set and recovery time compared to propofol. Except lower incidence of hypotension and respiratory depression, it has no injection pain and infusion syndrome compared with propofol. There is no study to investigate overall postoperative functional recovery in patients receiving total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) using ciprofol yet. However, according to study, early quality of recovery according to QoR-15 score is associated with one-month postoperative complications after elective surgery. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether there is any difference in the quality of postoperative recovery between ciprofol-based and propofol-based TIVA in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. The QoR-15 questionnaire score, pain, nausea/vomiting, and the frequency of complications are evaluated and compared between the two groups.
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.
Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures among general surgery cases. As with many open surgical methods, this repair is also performed laparoscopically. Among these closed methods, the most frequently applied method is laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair (TEP). In general, this surgery is performed under general anesthesia (GA) in many centers. However, in cases where general anesthesia is inconvenient, local or other anesthesia methods are preferred. It has been stated in many studies in the literature that this surgery can be performed with methods other than general anesthesia. In a study of 480 patients, one of which was Sinha et al., it was shown that this surgical procedure was successfully performed under spinal anesthesia (SA). In a prospective randomized study by Dönmez et al., patients who underwent TEP under general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia were compared. It has been reported that TEP repair can be performed safely under SA and that SA is associated with less postoperative pain, better recovery, and better patient satisfaction than GA.2 In a retrospective study by Yıldırım et al. It has been shown that there is significantly less need for analgesics and better patient satisfaction. There are also many meta-analyses made on this subject in the literature. Compared with GA in these, SA was associated with a longer operative time, and postoperative pain and nausea and vomiting were less in SA. However, the risk of urinary retention in SA was significantly increased. It was observed that there was no significant difference in surgical complications such as seroma and wound infection. Despite all these studies, until now, there is no clear consensus on which anesthesia should be used. The aim of the study is to show the effect of both the surgical method and the anesthesia method on the patient during surgery and in the early postoperative period in inguinal hernia
