Filter by:The aim of this study was to determine the histopathological results of parotid tumors and postoperative complications after partial superficial or total parotidectomy with facial nerve dissection and superficial musculoaponeurotic system reconstruction.
The aim of the present study is to explore the most efficient surgical approach in total hip replacement in short and long term when concerning strength, functionality and postoperative complications. The objective is to register muscular strength, hip joint functionality/mobilisation and complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed by two minimal invasive/incision surgeries (MIS) versus the traditionally lateral approach. The primary working hypothesis is that due to a minimal dissection and reduced trauma in the muscles, patients will tolerate early hospital discharge better after MIS than after traditional lateral surgery. Patients in the MIS group will also be more active and maintain muscular strength and hip joint functionality/mobilisation better than patients in the lateral group.
Central venous catheterization is commonly applied in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The subclavian vein has lower risk of infection and provides more patients comfort. However central venous catheterization may results in complications such as pneumothorax, hemothorax or arterial puncture. It has been suggested that ultrasound (US) guidance could improve the success rate, reduce the number of needle passes and decrease complications. Two different real-time 2-dimensional US techniques can be employed in the insertion of central venous catheters. The first technique involves real-time US-guided cannulation of subclavian vein using a long axis/in-plane approach. The second one involves real-time US-guided using a short axis/out-off-plane approach. However to date no studies have compared their efficacy and safety. The purpose of this study was to compare the US-guided long-axis versus short-axis approach for the SCV catheterization in adult critical care patients.
The purpose of this study to compare the efficacy of intravenous or intrathecal dexmedetomidine on the incidence of shivering on patients who scheduled spinal anesthesia for elective surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of pulmonary complications in patients undergone major abdominal elective surgery performed under general anesthesia.
Objectives: To evaluate whether the use of single incision un-anchored small mesh implants is feasible, safe and effective for women with moderate pelvic organ prolapse. Design: Patients diagnosed with moderate pelvic organ prolapse were enrolled to undergo a single incision un-anchored mesh operation. Follow-up was 4 to 23 months. The outcome measures for this study were the operative safety and post-operative pain, adverse effects and anatomical as well as functional cure. Setting: The operations were performed under general anesthesia according with the reported surgical techniques at university and private hospitals.
Purpose: According to the proposal of the International Headache Society acute postcraniotomy headache (PCH) is defined as a headache of variable intensity, being most serious at the site of surgical intervention and developing within 7 days after craniotomy. Typically, pain resolves within 3 months after surgery. According to the literature the incidence of acute PCH during the postoperative period is 60% among patients undergoing elective craniotomies. No standardized international guidelines are available on the treatment of PCH to the present day. Treatment methods can be different based on the country and institution where they are used, or even physicians individually can have distinct medication regime, which sometimes happens to be habitual and lacks clinical evidences. The Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the University of Debrecen has been giving 100 mg diclofenac with analgesic purpose, as part of the premedication to neurosurgical patients for several years. It was observed that the postoperative headache following craniotomy was milder comparing to data published in the international literature. A pilot study was carried out with similar settings which found the that incidence of PCH was lower and less analgesics were required without any further unwanted side-effects among patients who received 100 mg diclofenac as part of the premedication. Hypothesis: 100 mg preoperatively given diclofenac significantly reduces the incidence and severity of postcraniotomy headache.
Curative treatment of upper gastrointestinal tract neoplasms is complex and associated with high morbidity and mortality. In general, the patients are already malnourished, and early postoperative enteral nutrition is recommended. However, there is no consensus concerning the best enteral access route in these cases.
In General anesthesia, two main ways of pain control are used intra-operatively, one is opioids, the other is epidural. Many colleges prefer using epidural analgesia because it is potent and more effective , and also the benefits of stress block, less depression of breath. however, the epidural technique often causes more drop of blood pressure, especially in dehydrated patients. The investigators designed the trial to see if the benefit weigh out the potential risk of epidural in isolated hypertensive patients.
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.
