Filter by:Previous studies have indicated a high incidence of sleep disturbances and anxiety symptoms in individuals with colorectal cancers prior to undergoing surgery, leading to worsened postoperative pain, slower recovery, and higher risk of chronic pain. The enhancement of sleep quality is intricately linked to reducing stress. Preoperative drugs that combine hypnosis and anti-anxiety have not been studied in colorectal cancer patients. Midazolam oral solution is safe and effective for short-term hypnotic and anti-anxiety effects in clinical preoperative settings. In the current randomized controlled clinical trial, 280 patients experiencing sleep disturbance or anxiety prior to colorectal cancer surgery will receive midazolam solution to assess its potential efficacy in reducing postoperative pain, expediting recovery, and decreasing the likelihood of chronic pain. Additionally, the study aims to explore the potential connections between midazolam administration and reductions in stress and inflammation.
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of using gel pillows on the sleep quality and general comfort levels of patients in the preoperative period.The main hypotheses are: H1: 'The sleep quality of patients who use gel pillows in the preoperative period is higher than those who do not use gel pillows' H2: "The general comfort level of the patients who used gel pillows in the preoperative period is higher than those who did not use gel pillows". Participants will be asked to use a gel pillow with a cooling surface the night before the day of surgery. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare patients' control group to see if there is any difference in sleep quality and comfort levels.
Due to sleep deficiency, patients with insomnia syndrome or sub-clinical insomnia syndrome often undergo severe stress while waiting for surgery. Studies have reported that preoperative hypnosis could reduce stress and promote recovery. Midazolam has been recommended to patients who under severe stress for preoperative sedation and anti-anxiety. However, midazolam for preoperative hypnosis monitored with polysomnography (PSG) has not been studied. In this exploratory study, the median effective dose (ED50) and ED95 of Midazolam Oral Solution for preoperative hypnosis in non-elderly adults using the gold standard tool of PSG, will be explored by up-and-down sequential allocation and probit method.
The anesthesia consent form has become a standard before surgery. However, verbal aspects of anesthesia consent and of the value of the preoperative anesthesia discussion has not been addressed. This study will use preoperative discussions and postoperative patient questionnaires to examine the degree of awareness that the patients and the patients families have regarding what general anesthesia is, the responsibilities of the anesthesiologist, and the specifics of what the participants are agreeing to by signing the consent form.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer. Hepatectomy is a curable and effective method. However, the recurrence rate is as high as 50%~70% in 5 years after surgery. Perioperative treatment with immunotherapy combined with target therapy is expected to improve the patient's prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate recurrence-free survival (RFS) of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of hepatocellular carcinoma (CNLC Ib-IIIa). The secondary research purpose is to evaluate the R0 resection rate, the rate of subjects with major pathological response, the rate of subjects with pathological complete response, event-free survival (EFS), overall survival and 12-months recurrence-free survival of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The safety and tolerability is also evaluated.
The home confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has aroused the need to use telematic communication systems to provide remote treatments. More and more research is being done on preoperative respiratory physiotherapy in patients undergoing thoracic surgery with lung cancer. It is a treatment that has great relevance in the prevention of postoperative complications and in the quality of life of the patient. Therefore, this study is proposed to highlight the applicability of a telematic system of preoperative physiotherapy treatment with the FISSIOS application at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCSP).
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of cartoon in reducing pre-operative fear in children aged 4-10 years who came to the operating room. The data of the study were obtained from children between 4-10 years old who came to Mersin University Hospital Operating Room Unit between 1 July and 30 August 2020. The sample size was determined as a total of 116 children, including 58 children for each group. "Observation Form, Children's Fear Scale (CFS), Tablet Computer, Stopwatch" was used for data collection. The data were evaluated using percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square, t test, Anova and Tukey advanced analysis test. Cartoons group; When the children came to the operating room waiting room, the first stopwatch was started as soon as they entered the room to determine the length of stay in the waiting room, and it was turned off while they were entering the operating room with the anesthesiologist. Thus, the total length of stay in the room was determined and recorded. The second stopwatch was started as soon as the child began to cry, and was turned off when the crying stopped. Thus, the crying time of each child was also evaluated. After each parent signed the Informed Consent Form, the Interview and Observation Form was filled. Then the child's heart rate was measured and recorded. The child's fear level was evaluated separately by the child, parent and observer via CFS and recorded in the data collection form. After the initial assessment was completed, the child was asked if he wanted to watch cartoons. "Snow Queen" for girls who want to watch cartoons and "Spider-Man" cartoons for boys started to be watched by tablet. The period of watching cartoons lasted until the child left the waiting room. The heart rate was measured just before the child left the waiting room at the time of surgery. The level of fear was evaluated separately by the child, parent and observer via CFS and recorded in the form. Then, the child was taken to the operating room with the anesthesiologist and observer. Parents are separated from their children in the waiting room. After the child who came to the operating room was taken to the operating table, the pulse rate and the level of fear were evaluated and recorded by the observer via CFS. Control group: All processing steps were carried out similarly to the cartoon group. In this group, the option of playing toys was offered instead of cartoons.
Anxiety is a common phenomenon among patients who are undergoing surgery. It is a condition characterized by stress, nervousness, fear, unpleasant feeling, and higher activity of Autonomic Nervous System. The current studies demonstrated that listening to music, reduces anxiety levels.
preoperative assessment of difficult airways are the subject of debate. Now, measuring the thyromental distance or evaluating the mallampati score, mandible protrusion or body mass index still not 100% specifically say anything. We compare 4 different video laryngoscopes for preoperative assessment of difficult laryngoscopy.
Most patients awaiting surgery show significant anxiety score which can be influenced by the fear of anesthesia or surgery but also by the context of care. These anxious patients will have more postoperative complications and can also develop chronic pain. The Virtual reality AQUA module induces hypnosis and is specially designed to reduce anxiety. The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of a virtual reality session on preoperative anxiety.
