NCT ID: NCT05489263 Recruiting - Acute Kidney Injury Clinical Trials

A Predictive Score System for AKI Following Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

Start date: April 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been recognized as a typical post- operative complication among the children undergoing surgical repair of a congenital cardiac defect. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit and a higher utilization of hospital resources. However, how to precisely identify those who have greater hazard to encounter postoperative AKI seems ambiguous.

NCT ID: NCT05477043 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Surgery--Complications

Ureteral Patency After Uterosacral Ligaments Suspension

Start date: April 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Uterosacral ligament suspension (USLS) is a commonly performed procedure used to correct prolapse of the vaginal apex. The procedure consists of approximating the vaginal apex to the uterosacral ligaments with a series of sutures placed bilaterally, and is most often performed from a transvaginal approach. USLS is associated with favorable outcomes and is overall safe. However, given the anatomical proximity of the uterosacral ligaments to the ureters, ureteral injury during suspension suture placement may occur. Ureteral occlusion in this setting occurs as a result of partial or complete ligation, kinking or anatomical distortion by the nearby sutures. As a measure for avoiding these undesired sequelae, cystoscopy is usually performed after suspension suture placement during USLS to ensure visualization of bilateral ureteral flow. Any interruption of ureteral flow is usually addressed by removal of the suspension sutures, ureteral stenting, and, rarely, surgical repair of the ureter if severe injury is sustained. Ultrasound can identify the ureteral jet of urine flowing into the bladder. Previous studies demonstrated ureteral jet asymmetry in case of obstruction, with an absent or weaker monolateral jet.

Clinical Study on the Safety of Double and a Half Layered Esophagojejunal Anastomosis in Curative Gastrectomy

Start date: July 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Surgical resection remain the main means for gastric cancer. With the improvement of surgical techniques and concepts, the incidence of postoperative complications gradually decreased, but esophagojejunostomy complications occur frequently. Studies have showed that the risks of esophagojejunostomy leakage related to old age, obesity, malnutrition, neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the incidence rate was 1%-16.5%. The incidence of anastomotic leakage varies greatly, which suggests that effective preventive measures can reduce the probability of anastomotic leakage. In addition to the patient factors, the technique and experience of the operator are also important to reduce anastomotic leakage. The safety of esophagojejunostomy depends on the integrity of the anastomosis, sufficient blood supply and satisfactory tension. Early tight mucosal anastomosis and the proliferation of mucosal epithelial cells can reduce the stimulation of digestive fluid to the anastomotic wound. However, there are some problems in the operation: 1. When esophagojejunostomy is completed with tubular stapler, it is the contraposition of the plasma muscular layer of the digestive tract; 2. Because of the different diameter of esophagojejunostomy and tissue hypertrophy, the internal mucosa layer of the anastomosis is often torn or the residual tissue is embedded in the anastomosis, which affects the healing of the anastomosis. Double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis was proposed to improve the safety of anastomosis. The procedure is as follows: after the end of esophagojejunostomy, 3/0 barbed suture or absorbable suture was used. First, the anastomotic site was sutured continuously for one circle, with the suture spacing of 3-4 mm and the width of 4-5 mm. Then, the continuous horizontal mattress type seromuscular layer varus suture was used to embed the anastomotic stoma for one circle, and the suture width was 5-8 mm above and below the anastomotic stoma. After the completion of esophagojejunostomy, the full-thickness reinforcement of the anastomosis and the embedding of the seromuscular layer can ensure the complete anastomosis of the mucosal layer of the anastomosis. The embedding of the seromuscular layer can also improve the anti-pressure and anti-tension of the anastomosis, and provide a guarantee for the primary healing of the anastomosis.

NCT ID: NCT05219058 Recruiting - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Reconstruction in Extended MArgin Cancer Surgery

REMACS
Start date: May 17, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Advanced pelvic cancers are uncommon, with treatment being challenging. Around 4000 patients every year need treatment in the UK. Cancers can involve multiple organs and often need radiotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery. Surgery usually requires removal of multiple pelvic organs, including muscles, bone, and skin around the anus (the perineum). This can lead to complications relating to both the empty pelvis syndrome and closure of the perineal defect. Reconstruction is challenging, with frequently occurring complications, reducing speed of recovery and quality of life. This study investigates complication frequency, quality of life and expenses following different reconstruction techniques. The investigators hope to improve patient and doctor decision-making in this area and find the best methods of reconstruction to improve outcomes. REMACS has three work packages: 1. Maintenance of a database of patients undergoing colorectal surgery at Southampton and Salisbury Hospitals, including those undergoing extra-levator abdominoperineal excision and pelvic exenteration. This includes clinical data, imaging, health resource use, and patient reported outcome measures. 2. A collaborative national prospective cohort study investigating morbidity, health resource use, longitudinal quality of life outcomes (EORTC QLQ-C30 and disease-specific modules) and quality adjusted life years. The investigators will also assess financial toxicity using the comprehensive score for financial toxicity. 3. A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews to undertake a more complex evaluation of quality of life and patient experiences in patients that have recovered from their surgeries.

NCT ID: NCT05216107 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Surgery--Complications

Predicting Morbidity and Mortality in Elderly Surgical Patients

Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This proposed multicentre study builds on the findings of our recent validation of USEM and mCriSTAl predictive tools in a single centre at the Complejo Hospitalario de Navarra, whose results were recently published (https://europepmc.org/article/med/33111261). By expanding to a multicentre cohort and comparing to a third instrument, the investigators aim to examine the independent validity and generalizability of three scores and investigate potential for simplification of the prediction with anticipated greater accuracy. The ultimate goal is to determine whether these predictive tool can be used to assist surgical decision-making about older patients with expected poorer prognosis or high risk of death in the short term.

NCT ID: NCT05192837 Recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

Preoperative Smoking Cessation in Patients Undergoing Surgery

PORTICO
Start date: April 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: At present, effectively implementing smoking cessation programs in the health care system constitutes a major challenge. A unique opportunity to initiate smoking cessation focuses on smokers scheduled for surgery. These patients are not only highly motivated to quit smoking but also likely to benefit from a reduction in postoperative complications which may translate into a decrease of costs. Nevertheless, surgical patients are not routinely informed about the benefits of preoperative smoking cessation. Potential reasons for this missed opportunity may be lack of time and training of surgeons and anesthesiologists. The investigators therefore aim to analyse the impact of a preoperative high-intensity smoking cessation intervention on surgical complications up to a 90-day postoperative period in patients of various surgical disciplines. The hypothesis is that preoperative smoking cessation program improves outcomes in smokers undergoing intermediate to high-risk surgery. The primary objective is to compare complications between patients with an institutional multifaceted smoking cessation intervention starting four weeks before surgery compared to patients in the advice only group (control group) within a 90-day postoperative period. The primary endpoint is the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI®) within 90 days of surgery. Secondary outcomes include length of hospital stay, cost of hospital stay, smoking abstinence, reduction in nicotine consumption. Methods: The present study is a single center, randomized trial with two parallel groups of smokers scheduled for surgery comparing surgery alone and surgery with preoperative smoking cessation. The investigators plan to randomize 251 patients. The primary endpoint is the Comprehensive Complication Index up to a 90-day postoperative period. The secondary endpoints include comparison of smoking abstinence, quality of life, mental health, length of stay, costs of care and difference in hospital reimbursement between the two groups. Discussion: The hypothesis is that preoperative smoking cessation program improves outcomes in smokers undergoing surgery.
