Filter by:Patients, ages between 18-70 years, who require central venous catheter will be enrolled for the study. Central venous catheter will be inserted using patient's height formula by Seldinger technique. Anterioposterior chest radiography will be used to assess the correct tip position. Catheters that are below the carina more than 1 cm, will be pulled back for repositioning. Catheters that are above the carina more than 1 cm, will be changed by another catheter. The investigators aim to evaluate the formula for correct tip positioning for central venous catheters
This study assesses the performance of radiographers in detecting radiological anomalies of the appendicular skeleton in emergency department. This is a retrospective study comparing the radiographers' diagnostic performance before and after dedicated training, assisted or not by artificial intelligence software. All performances will be evaluated and compared.
Knee osteoarthritis is a common disease that causes pain and loss of function. Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a frequently used surgical method in the treatment of severe knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of TKA on IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β cytokine levels, pain intensity at rest and walking, knee joint valgity angle,malaligment, functional status and knee joint position sense.
In the operating room, the state of anesthesia is monitored during general anesthesia-induced hypnosis through EEG-based neuro-monitoring. Recent studies suggest that variables extracted from per-operative EEG change as brain ages. Furthermore, aging is itself an independant factor associated to an increased sensitivity to General Anesthesia (GA). Among fragility sign, per-operative Burst Suppression (BS) has been associated to a poor postoperative cognitive trajectory. The main goal of this observational clinical study is to extend the traditional use of per-operative EEG to the detection and prediction of various degrees of brain fragility, depending on the depth of anesthesia (DoA).
In surgical patients considered with "high cardiovascular risk", by their field or by the nature of their intervention, it is recommended to use hemodynamic monitoring including a continuous measurement device of arterial pressure and cardiac output (CO). However, targeting mean arterial pressure (MAP) with boluses of selective peripheral vasopressors (without positive inotropic or chronotropic effects) could have deleterious effects on CO. Thus, it seems important to use a combined analysis of MAP and CO to estimate the afterload-related cardiac performance (ACP) The investigators recently proposed a cardiac afterload monitoring, in the descending thoracic aorta, based on a combined analysis of flow velocity signal recorded by trans-oesophageal Doppler and aortic pressure, the Velocity-Pressure Loop (VP Loop). VP Loop, and its derived indicators, especially Global AfterLoad Angle (GALA), could be useful during hemodynamic management for continuous cardiac afterload monitoring. However, in cardiology unit, cardiac afterload is usually measured at the ascending aorta behind the aortic valves. The main objective of this study is to compare VP Loop parameters build in the ascending and descending thoracic aorta according to patient cardiovascular risk factors.
Arterial hypotension during general anesthesia remains a factor of poor outcomes, increases the risk of myocardial infarction, acute kidney injury and 1-year mortality. Furthermore, arterial hypotension may also decrease cerebral perfusion contributing to worsen neurological outcome. It seems necessary to monitor cerebral perfusion during anesthesia and to define individual dynamic targets of blood pressure. The goal of this study is to evaluate cerebral perfusion change in adult patients with or without cardiovascular risk factors during a standardized propofol-remifentanil anesthesia induction. Cerebral perfusion will be evaluated and compared using the simultaneously measure of TCD, NIRS and BIS. Those measures will be also repeated during and after treatment of arterial hypotension episodes in both groups.
During general anaesthesia, intraoperative hypotension (IOH), defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) drop of more than 20%, is frequent with potential deleterious effects for patients. Pulse oximeter is mandatory in the operating room making photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal and parameters such as the relative dicrotic notch height (Dicpleth) or the perfusion index (PI) readily available. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Dicpleth and PI could detect IOH during anaesthesia induction and follow their variations during vasopressor boluses.
