Filter by:By means of an investigator-initiated, monocentric, single-blinded, prospective, randomized controlled superiority trial, the effect of virtual reality (VR) therapy on patients undergoing ambulatory hand surgery under ultrasound-guided regional nerve block will be investigated. It is hypothesized that the usage of VR during the placement of the nerve block in ambulatory hand surgery patients provides a significant decrease in pain score during anesthesia compared to without VR glasses. Additionally, an objective stress related parameter (HRV), anxiety, VR experience (immersion and presence), adverse effects and patient satisfaction are evaluated before anesthesia, during anesthesia and surgery or after surgery through validated questionnaires or measurements.
Fascial plane blocks, such as ESP, rely on the spread of local anaesthetic on an interfacial plane, automated boluses may be particularly useful for this group of blocks. However, until recently, ambulatory pumps capable of providing automated boluses in addition to patient-controlled boluses were not widely available. To best of our knowledge, there are no randomised controlled trials comparing continuous infusion versus intermittent bolus strategies for Erector Spinae Plane Block for MITS in terms of patient centred outcomes such as quality of recovery.
To assess the average whole body radiation dose received by the surgeon, the operating team and the patient during hallux valgus surgery, depending on whether the surgery is percutaneous or conventional.
Many prescription opioids following surgery are left unused and are at risk of being misused or diverted. Encouraging proper disposal is important, yet motivating this behavior remains challenging as patients must understand the risks of opioids, the benefits of disposal, and identify opportunities and places to dispose of them safely. Alternative disposal techniques can improve disposal rates but may be lost or forgotten. Applying behavioral economics techniques may lower the barriers and promote disposal. The objective is to test the effect of a specifically timed, mailed, at-home kit on disposal rates following surgery.
The objective of the study is the establishment, optimization and prospective evaluation of a digital predictive platform capable of providing for each lumbar spine operated patient a clinical predictive status: Patient green (success) orange (treatment failure ), red patient (complication) in order to optimize his medical care up to 6 months.
Aim of this study is to implement the intestinal microbiota by perioperative administration of probiotics, oral antibiotics and low volume mechanical preparation in order to reduce the incidence of colorectal anastomotic leaks and dehiscences.
A randomised controlled feasibility study to compare two surgery techniques in the formation of a permanent end colostomy; the trans-peritoneal(TP) technique - currently, the most commonly used technique and the investigational extra-peritoneal(EP) technique, which has been reported in small studies to reduce the risk of parastomal hernia . This feasibility study will primarily aim to determine the feasibility viability of progression to a full multi-centre trial and test study design acceptability for participants. Participants will be asked to consent to be randomised to either the TP or EP procedure during surgery. Following surgery, participants will be followed up to a maximum of 12 months and asked to complete quality of life questionnaires (EQ5D and Colostomy Impact Score). Participant data will also be accessed by research teams at site to collect data on stoma appliance use and complications.
Retrospective observational cohort study including patients with Crohn's Disease undergoing minimally invasive ileocolic resection.
The intraoperative fluid balance during pediatric cardiac surgery is a very sensitive parameter given the low circulating volume and the complexity of anesthetic management but might be deleterious if inadequately managed. The hypothesis is that a highly positive intraoperative fluid balance increases the incidence of adverse events in the short and long term. A retrospective observational study including all consecutive children admitted for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) from 2008 to 2018 in a tertiary children's hospital will be performed. A multivariate analysis will be carried out to study the effect of the fluid balance on the incidence of adverse events.
To compare surgical outcomes of oncologic patients that underwent conventional laparoscopy and percutaneous laparoscopy for cryopreservation of ovarian tissue.
