Filter by:The aim of the clinical study is: 1. to examine the association between postoperative endothelial function, indirectly measured by reactive hyperemia index, and major adverse cardiovascular events including myocardial injury and cardiac death within 30, 90 and 365 days of acute abdominal surgery. 2. to examine the association between postoperative endothelial function, indirectly measured by reactive hyperemia index, and non-cardiovascular complications including non-cardiac death within 30, 90 and 365 days of acute abdominal surgery. 3. to examine the importance of the postoperative blood glucose level and the pulmonary function for postoperative complications and death within 30, 90 and 365 days of acute abdominal surgery. 4. to examine the association between postoperative endothelial function, pulmonary function and blood glucose level 5. the qualitative part of the study will examine the postoperative subjective symptoms including acute and chronic pain, quality of recovery and functional status, depressive thoughts and post-traumatic stress disorder.
A prospective randomized clinical trial of all the patients undergoing Roux - en-Y gastric bypass will be performed. Patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups: those patients receiving a preoperative balanced energy high-protein formula (group 1) and those receiving preoperative Immunonutrition (group 2). Changes between groups in acute inflamatory markers, pain, postoperative septic complications and lenght of stay, among others will be investigated.
Whereas there are several validated systems for reporting postoperative complications, there are only a few and not prospectively validated systems for reporting intraoperative complications. The investigators developed a definition and CLASSification for Intraoperative Complications CLASSIC within a Delphi study involving international interdisciplinary experts. As both surgery and anaesthesia may be involved in complications in the perioperative period, all patient-related intraoperative complications occurring between skin incision and closure are considered in this reporting system. CLASSIC was updated to ClassIntra® v1·0, by encompassing five severity grades to align with the validated Clavien-Dindo Classification for grading postoperative complications. The aim of this international multicentre observational cohort study is to assess the validity and practicability of this newly derived and updated classification system ClassIntra® in patient undergoing an in-hospital surgical procedure. Providing an easy applicable and internationally validated classification system is a contribution to improve quality of health care and patient safety.
The objective of this trial is to determine whether an opioid-free general anesthetic (OFA) technique utilizing ketamine, dexmedetomidine, lidocaine, and gabapentin can help reduce postoperative respiratory depression in the post-anesthesia care unit and ward in children with sleep-disordered breathing undergoing tonsillectomy when compared with traditional opioid-containing techniques. It is expected that this OFA regimen will have a measurable reduction on postoperative respiratory depression in children with sleep-disordered breathing.
the investigators aim is to investigate and explore the effect 10 mg morphine added to local anesthetics in serratus anterior plane block for post mastectomy pain management after modified radical mastectomy in patients with breast cancer with assessment of its serum level if it will be absorbed systemically or not?
Impact of Local Anesthesia on Postbronchoscopy Fever: a Randomised Controlled Study
Surgery has risk of morbidity and mortality. Risk factors include: patient factors; surgical factors; and anesthetic factors. The risk is much higher in emergency cases. The study of relevant risk factors can lead to improvement in patient management and reduction in mortality.
Postoperative ileus (POI) refers to the period of gut dysmotility that occurs after abdominal surgery. Patients with POI are unable to eat, suffer ongoing nausea and vomiting, are unable to open their bowels and have a prolonged hospital stay. Research at ADHB shows that 25% of patients will have a prolonged POI after elective bowel resection, which makes it the most common major complication after colorectal surgery. Clinicians currently lack a definitive medication to prevent or treat POI, which means POI causes patients ongoing morbidity and places a significant drain on healthcare resources. Serotonin plays an important role in gut motility. Evidence suggests that serotonin agonists, such as prucalopride, increase gut transit and may have anti-inflammatory properties. The hypothesis of this study is that Prucalopride given pre-operatively and continued post-operatively in patients having an elective bowel resection will improve gut function recovery after surgery and reduce POI. The investigators' proposed study is a double-blinded randomised controlled trial of prucalopride compared to an identical placebo tablet, in patients having an elective bowel resection at Auckland City Hospital. Patients will receive a single tablet of Prucalopride or placebo 2-3 hours preoperatively and then daily after operation for a maximum of 6 days. The primary endpoint will be return to bowel function defined by the time to tolerate a solid diet and pass stool. In addition, the investigators plan to assess postoperative gastric emptying rates using the safe and non-invasive carbon breath test method. This will allow the investigators to determine the effects of prucalopride on the stomach, and support its role as a gastric prokinetic.
Endometritis, an infection of the uterus in the postpartum period, has been shown to complicate the postoperative course of a cesarean delivery in 6% to 27% of cases. Vaginal cleansing prior to cesarean delivery has been shown to minimize the presence of micro-organisms and risk of infection. Although povidone-iodine is the most commonly used anti-septic for surgical preparation of the vagina, it is not an ideal agent due to it's diminished efficacy in acidic vaginal pH and in the presence of blood. Chlorhexidine gluconate, on the other hand, has demonstrated superior disinfectant properties in several clinical trials, as compared to povidone iodine. In this randomized, comparator controlled, study the investigators will be comparing chlorhexidine gluconate vs povidone iodine for intrapartum vaginal preparation in women undergoing non-emergent cesarean delivery.
Elderly patients have high mortality and postoperative complications rate after surgery, especially postoperative cardiac complications. A meta-analysis revealed haemodynamic intraoperative events significantly increased the risk of postoperative cardiac complications.To limit the risk, optimize the intraoperative management of circulation is essential. Anesthetic drug may effect on the haemodynamic intraoperative, reduction of postoperative complications should aimed at choosing the optimal anesthetic drug with minimal effect on haemodynamic.So this study is to explore the comparative efficacy and safety of anesthetic drug (etomidate or propofol) in elderly patients
