Filter by:This is a randomized comparative trial investigating two different catheter management strategies among post-gynecologic surgery patients. Women undergoing any benign gynecologic surgery wherein they are anticipated to stay at least overnight and in whom no prolapse or urinary tract surgery was concurrently performed, will be randomly assigned to either conventional urinary catheter care removal on post-operative day 1 or same day surgery urinary catheter removal. Patient satisfaction and lower urinary tract symptoms including urine culture and antibiotic use will be tracked across both cohorts over the 2 weeks following the index surgery.
In this mixed methods study, the investigators assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a remote health coach intervention to promote healthful lifestyle behaviors among overweight pregnant women. At one northeastern US clinic, the investigators enrolled 30 overweight (pre-pregnancy BMI≥25 kg/m2) pregnant women at a median gestation of 12.5 weeks (IQR: 11-15) into a one arm intervention trial. The investigators connected participants with a health coach to provide behavioral support to help participants adopt or maintain healthy lifestyle goals during pregnancy. Health coaches contacted participants by phone every 2-3 weeks to monitor goals, and sent emails and text messages to check-in between calls. To assess the intervention, participants completed baseline (N=30) and follow-up surveys at the end of the intervention (N=26), as well as follow-up phone interviews (N=18).
The greater efficacy of combination therapy led to the development of fixed combination devices which simultaneously carry both glucocorticosteroid and a LABA (eg stable combinations of fluticasone-salmeterol, budesonide-formoterol). Fixed combinations are easier to use for patients, potentially increasing compliance, and ensure that the LABA always accompanied by glycocorticosteroeides1. From the available combinations of the combination of budesonide-formoterol can be used both in maintenance therapy and for the relief of symptoms due to the rapid onset of action of formoterol compared with salmeterol. Both components of budesonide-formoterol combination when administered on demand contribute to strengthening protection from severe exacerbations in patients receiving combination therapy for maintenance, and enable improvement of asthma control at relatively low doses of ICS.
In this research, the investigators are comparing the new thermoplastic material side by side with the conventional poly methyl methacrylate for fully edentulous patients measuring their satisfaction and microbiological count.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of reducing intra-cesarean section nausea and vomiting with regional anesthesia in subjects who will receive scopolamine patch with acupressure point P6 stimulation versus subjects that receive just scopolamine patch versus subjects that receive just acupressure point P6 stimulation.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of acupressure point P6 stimulation versus intravenous ondansetron plus metoclopramide versus no antiemetic prophylaxis during elective cesarean section under regional anesthesia.
The OPTIONs study is a randomized controlled, non-inferiority study to evaluate postoperative care using outpatient clinic visits versus telephone calls for women undergoing surgery for pelvic floor disorders. The primary outcome is patient satisfaction using the Surgical-Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (S-CAHPS) questionnaire provided by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Secondary outcomes include safety and cost analysis for patients' direct and indirect medical costs. Women who speak and understand either English or Spanish and planning to undergo an elective surgery for a pelvic disorder will be recruited. Baseline demographics, satisfaction, and cost analysis questionnaires will be acquired pre-operatively. Randomization will be assigned at the time of discharge from the hospital. Patients will either have scheduled clinic visits at 1-2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months or telephone calls by a registered nurse at these same intervals. Questionnaires will be completed at 3 months for satisfaction and cost analysis.
To determine whether implementation of Rehab MATRIX will improve patient safety, patient satisfaction and nursing indices.
Training in TEE is based on hands-on training in the operation room which is time consuming and therefore its use and experience is limited among anesthesiologists. Recent studies demonstrate that simulation-based education is also superior to a conventional didactic system and superior to hands-on teaching in the OR in terms of theoretical knowledge in echocardiography. So far there is no study evaluating the study effect in obtaining the 11 basic TEE views as recommended by the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) and the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA) between simulator training and training in the operation room in residents with no prior knowledge of echocardiography. The basic TEE examination focus on the 11 most relevant views. Therefore the investigators want to assess if there is a difference in the study effect in obtaining the 11 basic TEE views and also in theoretical knowledge in 3 groups of residents with no prior knowledge of echocardiography: the simulation group (CAE Vimedix Simulator), the hands-on OR group and the online group (http://pie.med.utoronto.ca/TEE/). prospective randomized single-center study. The investigators want to include 51 anaesthesia residents (17 per group) in their first or second year of training with no prior knowledge of echocardiography in this randomized, Controlled single-centre study. The investigators want to assess the pre- and post training scores of the theoretical multiple choice test and the practical test in all 3 groups. The multiple choice test consists of 50 questions with 1 point per question (max. 50 points) and the practical test is an evaluation of 11 basic perioperative TEE examination on the simulator (CAE Vimedix Simulator). Each view is evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10 according to predetermined criteria including image angle, overall clarity and visualization of 3 major anatomic structures pertinent to each view. Each view can receive a maximum score of 10 and each study a maximum of 109 (ME asc. aortic LAX has only 2 main structures). Further the time to adjust each view and the time to complete the basic TEE Examination will be assessed.
The investigators aim to evaluate a sage-based mouthrinse (Dr. Hauschka Med, Mundspülung Salbei) whether it is less or equal effective in alleviating inflammatory signs of intra-oral mucosa and gingiva than an water/alcohol-based taste adjusted placebo in patients dependent on ADL. Randomization in treatment A (mouthwash with active agent, n=24) or treatment B (placebo mouthwash, n=24) Supervised use of mouthwash A or mouthwash B over 6 weeks 1x/day additional to habitual oral hygiene protocol. The main outcome parameter will be Sulcus Bleeding Index SBI.
