Filter by:A randomized, controlled, double-blinded clinical trial evaluating the effect of the administration of a Maltodextrin solution on cardiac function in patients presenting for coronary artery bypass grafting surgery with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
The use of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum seems to be able to reduce complications such as postoperative pain. However, the quality of evidence for most studies evaluating this relationship is considered low. The absence of concealment of pneumoperitoneum pressure and the lack of description of neuromuscular blockade characteristics are the main causes of bias. The purpose of this study will be to evaluate by means of a prospective, randomized and double-blinded trial, the quality of recovery (QoR-15) questionnaire of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under moderate neuromuscular blockade, using low pneumoperitoneum pressure or "standard" pressure. Eighty patients submitted to laparoscopic cholecystectomy and randomly distributed in two groups will be included: low pneumoperitoneum pressure (10 mmHg) or "standard" pressure (14 mmHg). The value of abdominal pressure will be kept hidden for all participants, except for the nurse responsible for the operating room. Moderate neuromuscular blockade will be maintained according to Train-of-four count (TOFc) = 3 for all cases.
Recovery from surgery is a complex process, depending on the characteristics of the patient, the anesthesia used, and the time required for surgical management. In the context of emergency surgery, the perioperative period is associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality, which may lead us to suspect an alteration in the quality of recovery. Different scales to measure the quality of post-operative recovery have been developed. The QoR-40 and QoR-15 questionnaires assess recovery after elective surgery.These scoring tools accurately measure postoperative recovery by addressing key domains: pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support and emotional state. Their use is recommended as an endpoint for assessing patient comfort in clinical trials, according to the Standardized Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine (StEP) initiative. In addition, monitoring of the QoR-15 is recommended by the American Society for Enhanced Recovery. A recent French translation of the QoR-15 score has been validated for use in scheduled surgery. All of these scores, regardless of the language in which they are translated, have been developed and validated in patients who have undergone scheduled surgery. Until now, no validated scoring tool has been available to assess recovery after emergency surgery, whether traumatological or not.
