Filter by:This is a prospective, non-randomized, non-blinded comparative study to evaluate the accuracy of pulse oximetry compared to co-oximetry in dark-skinned (Black) compared to lighter-skinned (White) children undergoing anesthesia, using standard FDA performance statistics as measured by mean bias and accuracy root mean squared to evaluate device performance.
This is a prospective study to evaluate the feasibility of obtaining a pulse oximetry ready from the oropharynx with a standard oximeter probe that has been attached to an oral airway or a tongue blade. The study will compare the values from the peripheral pulse oximeter on a finger, toe, foot or hand with the that from the oropharyngeal oximeter. The study will also compare the saturation from an arterial blood gas (ABG) collected as standard of care with that obtained from the oropharyngeal oximeter.
This study is a randomized-controlled trial study comparing the association between several degree of head elevation and conventional position during pre-oxygenation to desaturation time in patients undergo endotracheal intubation with general anesthesia
Assessment of Intubation conditions following administration of neuromuscular blocking agents; BX1000 (investigational) or rocuronium (active control).
There is no study in the literature showing the effects of Zn on wound healing after free gingival graft (FGG) operation. The aim of this randomized clinical study was to compare the early healing results of the palatal wound after FGG harvesting by sterile hemostatic agent suturing or the use of surgical stent from thermoplastic Zn-containing granules which was prepared chairside.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of coronavirus infection in patients with early-stage lung cancer. The main question it aims to answer is whether the interval of surgery and COVID-19 infection will affect the surgery and prognosis of the patients.
In the WEsleep study, the investigators will perform a cluster randomized controlled trial. 3 surgical and 3 medical departments will be randomized to implement low-cost and simple interventions aimed at improving sleep in admitted patients. Another 3 surgical and 3 medical departments will be randomized to function as control groups. Subjective sleep quality and sleep-wake timing will be assessed in adult medical and surgical patients admitted into one of 12 participating wards, using questionnaires and a sleep diary. In addition, in a subset of participants, objective sleep measures will be assessed in with an EEG headband and a sleep mat.
We did an multi-centre, observational cohort study in patients who had surgery in 2023. We included participants who underwent surgery after the COVID-19 to lift the lockdown in China. Patients meeting the same criteria were eligible who had been treated during the same calendar period of 2019 through 2021. The primary outcomes were the post-operative in-hospital complications. We hypothesized that the post-operative in-hospital complications during the COVID-19 to lift the lockdown period in China were different to complications for the same kind of patients during the same calendar period of the previous years.
89 patients with distal sigmoid and rectal cancer were referred in our observation and underwent MS-CTA between June 2020 and March 2022. We classified the distribution of LCA and confirmed whether there exists AMCA (accessory middle colic artery). Then we planned blood flow path based on the classification of LCA branches before operation. High ligation was applied in regular radical surgery. During operation, we carefully protect the bifurcation of ascending and descending LCA. Then we compared the planned blood flow path with the actual postoperative blood flow path to verify the mechanism we proposed previously.
The study will only involve identification of the listed allergies from the electronic medical record and investigation into the symptoms that prompted this allergy listing. The purpose is to evaluate demographics and prevalence of allergies in patients presenting for surgery, evaluate the medical decision making process behind allergy identification, and determine its potential impact on perioperative care. The participants will be asked to complete a survey in REDCap using an iPad during the visit.
