Filter by:The utilization of arthroscopic surgery to treat meniscus injuries has continued to increase in recent years, partly due to a younger, more active population, and improved technology and technique. However, pain management in the post-operative period is critical to the ability to perform this procedure as an outpatient surgery. Traditionally, oral narcotic agents have been the preferred analgesic postoperatively in orthopaedic surgery. However, these agents are associated with several side effects, including nausea/vomiting, constipation, and somnolence. In addition, opioid agents have a significant potential for abuse in comparison to non-narcotic analgesics. In light of the rising opioid epidemic and nationwide initiatives to limit narcotic usage, surgeons must explore alternate pain modalities in the acute postoperative period. Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.1 Multiple prior studies have examined the beneficial effect of oral and intravenous (IV) ketorolac as an analgesic in the postoperative period,1-3 including arthroscopic meniscus surgery. However, the beneficial effects of this agent following arthroscopic meniscus surgery have not been extensively described.
The investigators will evaluate the change of the common carotid artery blood flow according to patient's position and penumoperitoneum.
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of serum values of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate to predict postoperative complications in the early postoperative period after open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
The hypothesis is that starting a bowel regimen with Polyethylene Glycol prior to robotic assisted sacrocolpopexy will decrease time to first bowel movement after surgery. The experimental group will take a pre-operative course of polyethylene glycol daily for seven days prior to procedure date. The control group will not be given any intervention preoperatively. All patients will take polyethylene glycol postoperatively.
This study compares 2 different ways of perioperative management in patients of peptic perforation. Experimental arm is the ERAS arm( Enhanced recovery after surgery) and the comparative arm is Conventional arm.
The investigators decided to assess the prognostic value of NLRP3 inflammasome level in early after heart valve replacement surgery and whether it was related to postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Study population included 90 subjects. Neuropsychological tests were administrated one day before surgery and seven days after surgery. Before induction of anesthesia, before the end of the operation, 7 days after the operation, peripheral venous blood was sampled to measure IL-1B, IL-18 and NLRP3 inflammatory protein expression in peripheral blood monocytes. Analyze the data and draw conclusions.
Liver transplantation is the definitive treatment in patients with chronic liver disease. Neurological complications (NC) occur commonly after liver transplantation. The investigators aim to evaluate the incidence, risk factors and predictors of neurological complications in both living donor and deceased donor transplantation done in the hospital. Between January 2011 to December 2016, 253 liver transplant recipients were recruited for this study. The investigators recorded the incidence of neurological complications, their median time of onset, their relationship with etiology of chronic liver disease, and the risk factors for the complications. The investigators also studied the relationship of neurological complications with duration of hospital and ICU stay, and survival. Using multivariate forward regression analysis , the investigators developed a scoring system for prediction of neurological complications in liver transplantation.
In the Postoperative Care Unit surgical patients are monitored closely to ensure safe condition before transfer to the ward. This study will aim to identify patients in risk of complications on the ward using the national postanesthesia care unit (PACU) discharge criteria, a modified Aldretes score. Secondary to identify patients in risk of micro events as detected by continuous monitoring of vital signs on the ward.
In this single-center retrospective study we wanted to investigate mortality and postoperative complications after emergency laparotomy performed in patients aged 80 years or above.
The aim of this study is to test the Korean version of QoR-15 for its validity and clinical acceptability and feasibility.
