Filter by:HIC1® compound has a presence in the form of a gel, which facilitates its oral intake (direct or diluted with water) and also administration through gastrostomy tubes or nasogastric tubes. All received a dose of 30 grams of gel.
In addition to the traumatic effect of the operation, the effort to immobilize the auxiliary respiratory muscles due to pain causes a decrease in postoperative respiratory function (especially in thoracic and upper abdominal surgeries). In addition, superficial and tachypneic breathing caused by the inability of the patient to take deep breaths with pain leads to closure of small airways and increase in intrapulmonary shunts, resulting in hypoxia. Postoperative pain management is important not only to prevent pain but also to reduce pulmonary complications that may occur due to changes in lung function and to reduce mortality and morbidity by controlling the stress response. Pain after nausea and vomiting is the most common reason for hospitalization after laparoscopic surgery. Although pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has many components including incisional, visceral and reflected, the primary source of pain is incisional pain. A multimodal analgesic approach (NSAII, paracetamol, opioids, local infiltration, facial plane blocks and paravertebral and periparavertebral blocks) is recommended. Regional anesthesia combined with general anesthesia reduces the stress response associated with surgery and reduces the need for opioid use. Subcostal TAP Block; injection of local anesthetic between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles in the upper quadrant of the anterior abdominal wall blocks the anterior cutaneous branches of the thoracoabdominal nerves. External Oblique Fascial Plane Block (EOIB); blocks both the anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the thoracoabdominal nerves. It is performed between the 6th-7th costae. There is a cutaneous sensory block between T6-T9 in the midabdomen and T6-T10 in the anterior axillary line. The conventional method is the administration of intravenous opioids as a method of postoperative analgesia when the routine block cannot be performed due to a contraindication.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate opioid dose effects on the ability of the diaphragm muscle to generate higher force behaviors.
Postoperative pulmonary complications after thoracotomy cause morbidity and mortality. Although the causes of postoperative pulmonary complication are multifactorial, respiratory muscle dysfunction is a contributing factor to the development of postoperative pulmonary complication. This phenomenon has been explained by changes in respiratory muscle mechanics and operative function. Exercise interventions following lung resection have been shown to be associated with benefits on functional capacity, quality of life, shoulder pain, and shoulder function. Following thoracotomy, postoperative pulmonary complications are a significant cause of morbidity and cause significant increase in health care costs, intensive care and hospital stay, and patient discomfort. Conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program applied after thoracotomy reduces hospital stay and incidence of atelectasis. Thoracotomy may also result in long-term limitation of shoulder function and range of motion, reduced muscle strength, chronic pain, and reduced health-related quality of life. Physiotherapy program; It provides some benefits such as reduction of pain, improvement of shoulder function and physical components of quality of life. Based on these findings; It is recommended that physiotherapists provide a postoperative exercise program aimed at reducing shoulder dysfunction and pain, including progressive shoulder and rib cage exercises and a home program after discharge. In recent years, the popularity of Tai Chi, Qigong and yoga, also known as body-mind exercises in the treatment of chronic diseases, has increased.
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a condition characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway (URI) during sleep. Objective: It was designed to compare the effects of aerobic and high-intensity interval training training on exercise capacity, fatigue, cognitive status, physical and disease-specific parameters in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Materials and Methods: It was designed as a randomized controlled experimental model. Patients between the ages of 18-55 who were diagnosed with OSAS by polysomnography by a specialist physician, and those with moderate (AHI: 16-30) and severe (AHI> 30) OSAS will be included. After the patients were selected from the relevant population with the improbable random sampling method, the patients who accepted to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria will be assigned to one of the aerobic exercise group, high-intensity interval training training group or control group with the closed-envelope method. Evaluations will be evaluated for each group before the first session of the exercise program and one day after the last session after they have completed the 8-week exercise program. Evaluation parameters; 6-minute walk test, fatigue severity scale, stroop test, skinfold, tape measure, comprehensive respiratory function test device (MasterScreen™ Body Plethysmography), Turkish version of the functional outcomes of the disease-specific quality of life sleep questionnaire (functional outcomes of sleep questionnaire, FOSQ,tr) The nottingham health profile includes the Epworth sleepiness scale. Conclusion: The effects of aerobic and high-intensity interval training training will be interpreted by comparing the evaluations before and after treatment and between groups.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) and diaphragm shear-wave elastography (SWE) during state-of-the-art respiratory muscle testing including volitional efforts (e.g., maximal inspiratory pressure, maximal expiratory pressure, Valsalva maneuver), as well as maximal phrenic nerve stimulation.
COVID-19 infection is the cause of the current pandemic, responsible for loss of life and disability at a rate unseen before. Among survivors, the infection may cause lasting damage, such as permanent loss of lung function. This study aims to investigate if pulmonary rehabilitation done via supportive devices may reduce or prevent lung function injury. Patients will be chosen among COVID-19 patients who require hospitalization. Patients then will be divided into two groups, those who had used said devices, and compare them to those who had not used them for any reason. After a month, two groups will be evaluated by respiratory function tests, which are expected to provide the results required for a proper comparison. Pulmonary rehabilitation provided by the supportive devices is expected to either lessen or eliminate a loss of pulmonary function over time, compared to the group who did not use them.
Open surgery for esophageal cancer commonly involves large incisions in the chest, associated with a high rate of pulmonary complications (30-50%). Minimally invasive approach through keyhole surgery has been shown to reduce pulmonary infections by 20%. Enhanced recovery programmes are evidence-based protocols, developed to achieve early recovery after surgery with early mobilisation and chest physiotherapy and have been shown to reduce pulmonary complication rates as well. The investigators intend to objectively measure chest wall movement using 3D motion capture system as well as a wearable measurement system to monitor chest wall movement.
