Filter by:The PROSPECT study aims to look at the number of problems or side effects which occur after patients have had a procedure completed to remove fluid or air from the space between the lung and the chest wall. Other information will also be collected to see whether anything else affects which patients have problems after the procedure such as bleeding or infection. This study will also investigate whether it is possible to find out which patients are likely to feel a lot better after the procedure. Not all patients feel significantly better but it is not clear why this is. There are a number of different reasons patients may not feel better, for example if the lung is not able to fully re-expand. The study aims to look at whether it is possible to predict these problems before the procedure using ultrasound. If it is possible to find the answers to some of these questions it might be possible to prevent patients undergoing treatments which are not likely to benefit them. The study will use information already collected as part of clinical care, as well as questionnaires from patients receiving care at a variety of centres. The different features of these centres will also be considered in analysis.
The site of arterial access for coronary angiography and intervention has been the focus of research for decades as it is the source of major complications. Transradial access (TRA) reduces complications among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary procedures but is reported with the complication of radial artery occlusion (RAO) that limits the radial artery for future needs. Distal radial access (dTRA) has recently gained global popularity as an alternative access route for vascular procedures. Among the benefits of dTRA are the low risk of entry site bleeding complications, the low rate of radial artery occlusion, and improved patient and operator comfort. This study aims to reveal the feasibility and safety of dTRA and routine TRA procedures in acute coronary syndrome patients. The primary endpoints are forearm radical occlusion rate and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in the two groups, respectively. Investigators will also focus on puncture success in diagnostic and interventional cases, rate of One attempt success, access time, procedure time, crossover rate, contrast dose of patients, fluoroscopy time and dose, and healthcare cost of each group.

Investigators conduct this retrospected analysis to demonstrate the difference of the two procedure of Cannulation.
The investigators hypothesise that there is no increased risk of peri-procedural complications, accompanied by improved patient satisfaction among patients allowed to eat up to the point of coronary angiography/angioplasty compared to patients, kept nil by mouth. Therefore, the investigators aim to change the practice of fasting for all patients before elective catheterization procedures. Consented patients will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to either fasting (standard hospital fasting policy) or non-fasting (allowed to eat and drink freely up to the point of transfer to the Catheter Laboratory). Primary End Point will composite peri-procedural nausea, vomiting, pre-procedural hypotension, pre-procedural hypoglycemia, intra-procedural emergency endotracheal intubation and aspiration pneumonia. This will be calculated as the number of patients experiencing at least one event. Secondary end-points will include patient satisfaction questionnaire and the individual outcomes assessed in the primary end point.
This prospective observational study aims to investigate about the efficacy of spine ultrasound in predicting difficult spinal anesthesia
Researchers are studying the behaviors in teachers of invasive bedside procedures to improve the safety of invasive bedside procedure in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Patients with cirrhosis are frequently hospitalized and often undergo procedures. Knowledge surrounding bleeding risk is sparse and practice patterns vary across centers in regards to bleeding prophylaxis. The goal of this study to is to obtain more knowledge regarding risk factors for procedural related bleeding in patients with cirrhosis and to develop a predictive model to risk stratify patients before undergoing procedures. Through collaboration from centers across the world this study should provide information on prevalence of bleeding and variation in practice patterns for prophylaxis.
Objective: Needle-related procedures (venipuncture, vaccine injections) are the most common source of pain and fear, and generally experienced in childhood for the first time. This study was designed to determine the effects of watching cartoon films on non-VR and VR virtual reality on pain and fear during venipuncture in school-age children and to compare these two methods. Method: This randomized controlled trial study was conducted on 120 school-age children (7 -12 years of age) with pain and fear of venipuncture. The children were randomized according to their arrival in the biochemistry laboratory; the first, second, and third children were assigned VR distraction group with a headset (n=40), non-VR distraction group on a tablet computer screen (n=40) and no distraction group (n=40), respectively. The data collection was carried out using the children identification form, Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale evaluating the pain and Childrens' Fear Scale evaluating the fear. The outcomes reported by the children, parent, and observer.
Background: The AccuVein AV300 device helps in venepuncture and intravenous (IV) cannulation. It uses infrared light that can be absorbed by the blood hemoglobin so that veins location is clearly viewed on the skin's surface. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of the AV300 device over the standard technique in increasing the first-time success rate (SR) for pediatric patients who needed IV cannulation. Methods: This was a prospective cross study of patients aged 0-18 years scheduled for surgery or examination under anesthesia but without having an existing IV access and after providing consent form. Patients were randomized into two groups; cannulation with AV300 or standard insertion performed by experienced pediatric anesthesiologists and residents under training.
