Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in patients undergoing thoracic procedures the lung inflammatory response in on one-lung ventilation and two-lung ventilation strategies The main question to answer is: • Lung inflammation differs when comparing one to two-lung ventilation strategies during the procedure? Participants will be divided in the classic one lung ventilation or two lung ventilation (using pneumothorax with CO2) and different biomarkers of lung inflammation will be measured after procedures.
The goal of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of music prehabilitation on preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing elective oncological colorectal resection. Patients will be asked to listen to music three times a day starting one week before day of surgery. Anxiety levels will be compared with the control group that is not explicitly instructed to listen to music by using validated questionnaires
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of a surgical and a non-surgical treatment method in patients with osteoarthritis in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are the treatments effective? - Is the surgical treatment more effective than the non-surgical treatment? Participants will receive surgical treatment (PIP joint denervation) or non surgical treatment (patient education plus exercise). Researchers will compare the non-surgical and surgical groups to see if pain, patient-reported function, quality of life, movement and grip strength differs between the groups.
Pilot prospective randomized control trial comparing goal-directed therapy algorithm vs routine care in the intensive care unit following cardiac surgery.
This is a prospective, non-blinded, single arm study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the tolerance to preoperative placement of the adhesive sensor for the Tetragraph® Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor in pediatric-sized patients ≤ 12 years of age.
Acute appendicitis is the most common abdominal emergency with more than 15 million cases reported worldwide. Although appendectomy is considered a safe surgical procedure, the incidence of complications is up to 10%. The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has developed guidelines to improve postoperative patient outcomes. The protocol, which consists of more than 20 interventions in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods, shows that early discharge can be possible with multidisciplinary care given to surgical patients without risking patient safety.
The aim of the study is to analyse the quality of information that patients and relatives of different types of cancer receive through social networks on the subject of incontinence after cancer surgery.
Perioperative anesthesiologists can benefit from easily obtainable hemodynamic variables detecting or quantifying the lack of an adequate compensatory capacity of the cardiovascular system in order to optimize patient management and improve patient outcomes. Parameters of the Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM; Vygon, Padua, Italy) of the MostCare system, specifically cardiac cycle efficiency has been proposed as such variables. Yet, their value in anesthesia and especially in hypertensive patients is not studied. The goal of the PRAM-in-HYPO study is to prospectively evaluate the relationship between cardiac reserve and efficiency and cardiovascular risk factors in patients wo will undergo major surgical procedures using the state-of-the-art hemodynamic monitors. Also the investigators aim to build a predictive model to identify patients with decreased cardiac reserve due to hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors, who are susceptible to post-induction hypotension. The investigators seek to include high-risk patients or patients presenting for major surgery, who are monitored with an advanced hemodynamic monitor to adequately evaluate the differences in cardiac reserve and cardiac efficiency.
The main objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to investigate whether a multimodal prehabilitation intervention combining a mixed-nutrient supplement with structured exercise training (MM) or the supplement alone (NUT), against a placebo (CTRL), leads to improvement in functional capacity and postoperative outcomes in surgical patients with lung cancer, at nutritional risk. This will be tested in a single centre RCT of 3 parallel arms, double-blinded for the supplement. Female and male participants (n=168, >=45 y) will be randomized to a 10-week intervention spanning 4 weeks pre-surgery and 6 weeks post-hospital discharge. The primary outcome is functional capacity as measured by the 6-minute walk test. Secondary outcomes include muscle mass, quality and strength, quality of life, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications.
Preoperative anxiety has been studied in different medical disciplines, but it is unknown in minor surgical procedures such as foot nail surgery. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain in foot nail surgery. The validated Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale (APAIS) was used to evaluate preoperative anxiety and the need for information in 155 patients undergoing foot nail surgery. In addition, a questionnaire was used to collect other variables such as age, sex and educational level. The verbal numeric scale was employed to value the postoperative pain after 24 h.
