Filter by:Shoulder instability is the inability to retain the humeral head in the glenoid fossa. The incidence of instability is 8.2 to 23.9 per 100,000 person-years with an estimated prevalence of 1.7%. The most common shoulder instability with a rate of 98% is anterior dislocation, in which the humeral head is displaced anterior to the glenoid. Conservative and surgical treatments of instability are available. There are many controversial issues related to these methods in the literature. For example; an atrophy and functional loss in the infraspinatus after reimplissage, atrophy and loss of proprioception in the muscles around the shoulder after capsular repair, and loss of proprioception after the laterjet procedure have been reported.Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare different surgical stabilization methods in terms of pain, proprioceptive sensation, functional status and muscle activation in recurrent anterior shoulder instability, which is very common in adults.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of preoperative preparation applied with an interactive robot on children's preoperative anxiety and fear levels. Hypothesis; H1: Pre-operative preparation with an interactive robot has an effect on the anxiety level of children H2: Pre-operative preparation with an interactive robot has an effect on the fear level of children H3: The anxiety levels of children in intervention and control groups are different after the pre-operative preparation H4: The fear levels of children in intervention and control groups are different after the pre-operative preparation
Identification of risk factors that cause a high probability of an unfavorable outcome in the postoperative period is an urgent problem. The creation of national databases (registries) makes it possible to maximally cover a certain patient population by identifying its characteristic risk predictors. As literature data show, existing registries differ in the criteria for inclusion in the study, in the characteristics of the populations studied, and there is often no common view on the classification of postoperative outcomes. Goal of a study is a creation of a Russian national calculator for the risk of postoperative complications and mortality. Two-level observational retrospective-prospective study was planned. Setting: National multicenter study of surgical inpatients. Patients: Adult patients undergoing elective and emergency surgery. Types of interventions: in obstetrics, in gynecology, on the breast, in urology and kidneys, in endocrine surgery, in maxillofacial surgery, in orthopedics and traumatology, on the lower floor of the abdominal cavity, on the liver and biliary tract, on the upper floor of the abdominal cavity cavities, in thoracic surgery, in vascular surgery, in neurosurgery, in cardiac surgery, in other areas (with mandatory specification). The study was organized by the Federation of Anesthesiologists and Reanimatologists of Russia. Primary (30-day mortality, 30-day complications) and secondary (hospital mortality, hospital complications, length of stay in anesthesiology, resuscitation and intensive care departments, length of hospital stay, multiple organ failure (2 or more points on the SOFA scale (Sequential)) Organ Failure Assessment), 90-day mortality, 90-day complications, intensive care after-effects syndrome, readmission, 1-year mortality) outcomes were determined. The required sample size and statistical analysis methods are described. The planned duration of the study is 2024-2028.
PROSAP-A is a perioperative randomized, controlled trial with a 12-month follow-up period after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA), aiming to investigate both acute and long-term postoperative effects of preoperative sleep-promotion. Participants with clinically significant insomnia symptoms will be randomized to a brief, hybrid version of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) or sleep education therapy, administered over a 4-week period, prior to surgery. The primary objectives are to evaluate effects of preoperative sleep-promotion on acute and long-term postoperative pain control. Secondary objectives include evaluation of postoperative sleep, recovery, mental health, cognitive function and alterations in blood biomarkers.
The IMPULS trial is a randomized, triple-blinded, placebo controlled, single center, pilot trial examining the efficacy and safety of preoperative propranolol in patients scheduled for pancreatic cancer surgery. The study is conducted as a type 1 hybrid efficacy-implementation trial of 30 patients. This study is designed to provide pilot data for a future larger perioperative study of propranolol with the aim of improving outcomes for pancreatic cancer surgery. In total, 30 participants will be allocated in a 1:1 ratio with 15 participants enrolled in each trial arm (propranolol vs. placebo). Participants will be allocated to either 40 mg propranolol twice daily or placebo twice daily in 10 days prior to planned surgery. Primary outcomes: Evaluating the efficacy of preoperative propranolol on anxiety and in pro-tumorigenic changes (e.g., in the tumor tissue and in blood samples) in patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, to obtain follow up data (e.g., 90-day mortality, postoperative complications etc. on the patients receiving propranolol versus placebo). Heart rate variability among the participants will also be examined. Secondary: Examining the safety and tolerability of 40 mg preoperative propranolol twice daily in patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic cancer. Tertiary: Evaluating the feasibility and implementation of the trial (using the APEASE framework). This will help identify barriers and enablers to a future larger study. Short-time propranolol treatment is considered safe with a mild and manageable safety-profile. Risk-management, mitigations and guidelines to ensure patient safety is included in the protocol. Since this clinical trial is exploratory in nature, no sample-size calculation is performed.
Investigator-initiated pilot study of single dose oral flecainide versus no flecainide for the early conversion of perioperative atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm after noncardiac surgery.
Prehabilitation describes the process of improving someone's functional capacity before major surgery. Prehabilitation commonly focuses on exercise training, as fitness level is a predictor of surgical outcomes - the fitter you are before surgery, the lower the risk of complications after surgery. Typically, exercise training is done at the hospital, but research shows that patients would prefer to do prehabilitation exercises in their home. The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of an online prehabilitation programme made by PreActiv, which can be accessed at home via a website by patients who are awaiting major surgery. PreActiv's prehabilitation programme is six weeks long, and involves three 35-minute exercise sessions per week, with each session including a warm-up, cardio exercises, muscle strengthening exercises, and breathing exercises. Information from this pilot study on the number of exercise sessions attended (adherence) and the number of patients who complete the study (retention) will be used to decide whether we should progress to a larger study that assesses the effectiveness of PreActiv's prehabilitation.
In this research, we hypothesize that post-operative monitoring implemented with a connected scale after the 1st year (weight nadir period) post obesity surgery (i.e. sleeve and RYGB) would reduce the percentage of patients with excessive weight regain (>10% regain of lost weight) by improving the quality of follow-up and long-term results. To do this, we are carrying out a comparative study on 182 patients, controlled, randomized per patient, ratio 1/1, open, in two parallel arms. Patients will be followed for 12 months and divided into one of the following two groups: - Control group: Standard follow-up - Interventional group: Standard follow-up + weekly weighing with the "Body Comp Pro" connected scale During their follow-up period, patients in the intervention group will have to weigh themselves at least once a week using the "Body Comp Pro" connected scale. The information will be transmitted to the investigation team via a secure platform available 24 hours a day. Alerts will be generated from a weight regain > 5% of the baseline weight, allowing early management of weight regain.
Preoperative three-dimensional (3D) lung reconstructions can reduce intraoperative blood loss, conversion rate, and operation duration. Commercial products predominantly provide these 3D reconstructions, hence the aim of this study was to assess the usability and performance of preoperative 3D lung reconstructions created with open-source software.
The success or failure of a reconstruction is largely related to the vascularization of the operated area. Near infrared fluorescence (also near infrared fluorescence angiography, NIR FA) with ICG administration is an innovative technique to quantify tissue perfusion. Based on the results obtained in other subspecialties, NIR fluorescence appears to be a promising way to quantify tissue perfusion in reconstructive surgery. Fluorescence research has previously been used in the context of microsurgery and breast reconstructions using implants, but structural objective determinations are lacking. Our study is successful if we are able to determine a cut off value for the absolute or relative perfusion parameters.
