Filter by:This study aimed to know the effectivity of 0.5 mg/kg propofol in the end of anesthesia to reduce the incidence of postanesthetic emergence agitation in pediatric patients under general inhalation anesthesia
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn´s disease or ulcerative colitis, have recurring episodes of abdominal pain, diarrhea and loss of weight. Besides this other clinical symptoms are possible e.g. deficiency syndromes such as iron deficiency. Iron deficiency usually attended by symptoms like hair loss, pale skin, loss of concentration or fatigue. In some cases iron deficiency can lead to neurological manifestations such as restless-legs-syndrome (RLS). Restless legs syndrome is a neurological disorders which is accompanied by substantial urge to move legs or other parts of the body and unpleasant sensations. Aim of this study is to to investigate the prevalence of RLS in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and furthermore evaluate the effect of iron supplementation in patients with iron deficiency and concomitant RLS.
The objective of this study is to administer music therapy to patients in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in order to observe how music affects patient agitation, vital signs, and overall recovery in the unit.
Postoperative agitation is an important complication of general anesthesia, moreover, it has been found with high incidence in ear, nose, throat (ENT) surgeries. We aim to study whether anterior ethmoidal nerve block will be successful in reducing postoperative agitation in those patients. Study population will be randomized into two groups, treatment and control group. Anterior ethmoidal nerve block will be done in treatment group and postoperative agitation compared between these two groups. Agitation score will be scored with Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale (SAS). Ho: Occurrence of post-operative agitation in patients undergoing nasal surgery with nasal pack under general anesthesia is equal in those with ethmoidal nerve block as compared to those without the block. Ha: Occurrence of post-operative agitation in patients undergoing nasal surgery with nasal pack under general anesthesia is not equal in those with ethmoidal nerve block as compared to those without the block.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AVP-786 compared to placebo, for the treatment of agitation in participants with dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
Emergence agitation (EA) is one of the unpleasant symptoms after general anesthesia. The patient can be irritable, uncooperate, cry, moan and combative behaviors. Sometimes the patient may need to be thrashed to prevent physical harm. The mechanism of EA is still unknown. EA is usually self limiting within 45 to 60 minutes after wake up from anesthesia. The incidence of EA is much higher in pediatric group when compared with adult. In some centre the incidence of EA can be up to 67 % depends on anesthesia technique, race, and child's temperament. Kain et al, reported that the patient who had marked EA tended to have post operative maladaptive behaviors. These maladaptive behaviors such as insomnia, eating disturbance, aggressive behavior and even developmental regression can be happen until one year after anesthesia. From the previous study, reported that fast emergence was associated with a high incidence of agitation. This prospective observation study is conducted to determine that emergence time has any effect on EA or not. The authors use process electroencephalogram (entropy) to monitor emergence time which defined as the time which state entropy level over sixty to eighty. Meanwhile, we will evaluate the emergence time by the conventional method which used the time from ceasing anesthesia to the time of eye opening by normal voice stimuli. The primary outcome of this study is the correlation between emergence time (both from Process EEG and clinical presentation) and incidence of emergence agitation. Two secondary outcomes will be measured. Firstly, the correlation between emergence time and postoperative behavioral changes. Secondly, the relationship between entropy monitoring and clinical symptoms.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is defined as the spontaneous movement of the limbs (mainly legs) associated with unpleasant - painful sensation which is relieved by moving the affected limb. It is a common disorder in hemodialysis patients that leads to insomnia, impaired daytime functioning and quality of life. Symptoms of RLS are estimated to affect up to 25% of patients on dialysis when the international RLS diagnostic criteria are applied. Various pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions have been used to treat primary RLS. However, the evidence for use of these interventions in people with End stage renal disease is not well established; and some have serious side effects. Because high oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of RLS, investigators thought of evaluating the efficacy of vitamin C in reducing the severity of RLS symptoms in hemodialysis patients in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two arm parallel trial. To note that only two studies were done worldwide that proved the efficacy of vitamin C in those patients.
The most common syndrome in patients with severe dementia is agitated behavior, which is often characterized by a combination of violent behavior (physical or verbal), restlessness, and inappropriate loudness. The treatment options for this syndrome are limited and lead to severe side effects. In vivo experiments on animals and clinical studies on adults show that cannabinoids could have a beneficial effect on behavioral disorders in general, and in dementia-related disorders in particular. Additionally, medical cannabis patients have reported that cannabis aids in pain relief, increased appetite, and a sense of calm and peace of mind. Elderly patients suffering from dementia that experience this syndrome could also benefit from other quality of life aspects of the cannabis treatment such as reduction in medication consumption, weight gain and improvement of sleep.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate whether dexmedetomidine is effective in treating agitated delirium of non-intubated ICI patients
To compare the effect of two different induction method; mask ventilation and intravenous cannulation on emergence agitation on pediatric adenotonsillectomy
