Filter by:The purpose of this project is to verify the relationship between low intensity shock wave treatment (LI-SWT) and increased scores in self-assessment regarding to erectile function (ED) and sexual intercourse, in patients, who has undergone a radical prostatectomy (RP). The data will be obtained from patients using international accepted sexual questionnaires prior to the LI-SWT and 5, 12 and 24 weeks following treatment.
The aim of us is to define the incidence of postoperative complications and recovery time in view of two anesthesia procedures. During the period between 01.01.2016 and 01.01.2017, totally 583 patients were included in the study, who had oral and maxillofacial surgeries. Anesthesia types were determined as total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalation anesthesia (IA). Postoperative complications and recovery period were determined as tachycardia, bradycardia, hypertension, hypotension, recovery time, additional analgesia, nausea-vomiting. Both anesthesia procedures were compared in terms of these postoperative complications and recovery time.
Deep neuromuscular block (NMB) has shown to produce superior surgical conditions during various abdominal and non abdominal surgeries. It is however unknown if the application of deep NMB leads to favourable outcome, such as lower rate of postoperative complications in general and surgical infections in specific and ultimately lower readmission rates. In the leiden university medical center, deep NMB is routinely applied for a variety of procedures, most notably laparoscopic abdominal and retroperitoneal surgery, eye surgery and neuro radiologic intervention surgery, since 2014. This retrospective study intends to investigate whether the application of deep NMB for these procedures affects patient outcome and readmission rates.
Preoperative anxiety is associated with adverse consequences such as emergence delirium, and postoperative behavioral changes. According to previous studies, providing information of anesthetic procedures helps to lessen preoperative anxiety. However, verbal explanation alone provides the limited effect, and the tour program of the operating room prior to surgery may not be possible for a number of hospitals due to organizational and financial reasons. Therefore, the virtual reality (VR) tour of the operating room may be an innovative and novel method to give children information about the preoperative process and to alleviate the preoperative anxiety. In this study, we intend to evaluate the effects of the operating room virtual tour on preoperative anxiety as well as emergence delirium and postoperative behavioral changes, in pediatric patients.
- It has been known that the recent application of a goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) to the intraoperative fluid infusion in patients contributes to decreasing the prevalence of postoperative complications and shortening the length of study in the intensive care unit as well as hospital stay compared with conventional methods. - Laparoscopic surgery is in a trend that its application is being expanded recently, but there has been no report on the application of GDFT to laparoscopic surgery so far. - To this end, this study aims to apply the intraoperative GDFT protocol in patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatobiliary or pancreatic surgery and to find out whether there is any difference in postoperative recovery and incidences of postoperative complications, by comparing with patients applied with the fluid therapy using existing conventional methods
Randomized controlled trial, comparing two groups of 40 patients each scheduled for open major abdominal surgery. The intervention group was ventilated with a protective strategy consisting on a low Tidal volume (Vt) (6ml/kg of predicted body weight (PBW)), positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) = 10 cm H2O and recruitment manoeuvres (RM) after disconnection from the ventilator, the control group had classic ventilation (Vt = 8 ml/kg of PBW, PEEP = 4 cmH2O and no RM).
The necessity of orthopedic implant removal is under intense discussion and even if it is performed as an elective procedure, the risk of complications is present. Aim of the study is to identify parameters responsible for an increased risk of early post-operative complications after elective aseptic orthopedic implant removal.
The purpose of the study is to measure patient- temperature in the perioperative period of patients undergoing plastic surgery in an ambulatory surgical unit. This study will evaluate if active warming with self-warming blanket (Easywarm®) is as effective as active warming with forced-air blanket (BairHugger®). Second the study will evaluate if one or both methods is effective in preventing perioperative hypothermia.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a single preoperative high-dose steroid injection on complications in the immediate postoperative phase after periacetabular osteotomy. Primary outcome is the proportion of patients who have moderate to severe postoperative pain in the post anaesthesia care unit. Secondary outcomes are organspecific complications in the post anaesthesia phase, pain and nausea the first 5 days, wound infection and readmissions the first 30 days after surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the frequency of moderate to severe pain and organspecific complications in the post anaesthesia care unit will be lower among patients receiving high dose dexamethasone. The investigators hypothesize, that there will be no difference in wound infections or readmissions.
The aim of this interventional study is to optimize the movements and discipline of surgical staff in order to improve the quality of care, the safety of the patient in the surgery and to prevent the postoperative complications in the broad sense and in particular the infection of the surgical site. The intervention will be carried out using tools of new technologies allowing the monitoring of the movements and the sound level associated with techniques of behavior change inspired by those used in the human and social sciences.
