Filter by:When the literature is examined, it has not been found that the use of massage applications in relation to the functional level of individuals who have undergone abdominal surgery. We think that our study will be the first in this field. Therefore, this study will lay the groundwork for future studies on the subject. In the future, it is aimed to establish a standardized evaluation method to determine the functional levels of individuals who have undergone abdominal surgery and to determine the ideal duration and frequency when a decision is made to apply foot massage in the future with the data obtained as a result of this method. In this study, the effectiveness of foot massage on the functional level of individuals with high post-surgical kinesiophobia will be investigated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a multi-component behavioral intervention given to anesthesiologists and surgeons is associated with decreasing low value preoperative testing orders in patients undergoing low risk surgery. The objectives of this trial are to evaluate a) the overall rate of low-value preoperative test (electrocardiogram and chest X-ray) in patients undergoing low risk surgery, b) to conduct an economic and c) process evaluation of the implementation The investigators will assess these outcomes in a sample of 22 Hospitals in Ontario, Canada.
This is a case series study using gastric ultrasound in critically ill patients to quantify gastric residual volumes to compare the efficacy of different NPO protocols.
Today, surgical applications are used to solve many health problems. In order for the surgical intervention to take place, anesthesia applications are often required. Complications such as sore throat, thirst and nausea and vomiting may occur as a result of trauma, local irritation and inflammation of the airway mucosa during anesthesia and tracheal intubation. These complications are in the postoperative period; It may cause delayed oral fluid intake, prolonged dehydration, oral odour, and increased risk of aspiration, hematoma and wound dehiscence due to retching and vomiting, all of which may lead to delayed discharge and increased cost. Aromatherapy, one of the non-pharmacological applications, is frequently applied in reducing postoperative complications and its effectiveness is stated. In this study, the aromatic solution applied after the surgery; It was planned to examine the effect on sore throat, thirst, nausea-vomiting. In addition, the multimodal synergistic effect of lavender oil and ginger oil used in the aromatic solution to be prepared will be utilized. As a result of this study, the effectiveness of the aromatic solution application to be applied to the patients in the postoperative period and the benefits and benefits of the patient's recovery process will be determined. Thus, effective application can be made for the entire postoperative period. It is thought that this study to be conducted will be a guide for future studies on the patient group.
Nationwide retrospective study, to predict the risk of abdominal reoperation.
In this study, the investigators will evaluate whether the delivered fraction of oxygen (O2) and sevoflurane administered through a a closed circuit and calculated on the basis of the estimations of O2 consumption (VO2) and sevoflurane uptake (SEVOup) through the inspired-expired fraction gradients of both gases once subtracted the physiological dead space (VDphys), adequately fits the real gases consumption. All participants will be ventilated under a tailored open lung approach (tOLA) strategy.
Surgeons are increasingly confronted by patients on long-term low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). However, the perioperative management of these patients undergo non-cardiac surgery has not yet been clear. This single- arm study was to evaluate the safety of continuous use of ASA in the perioperative period in routine minimally thoracic surgery.
Describe the purpose and objective(s) of the study, specific aims, and/or research questions/hypotheses: The purpose of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training with standard care of physical therapy versus the standard care of Physical Therapy alone and its effect on shoulder function and patient outcomes in military cadets recovering from shoulder stabilization surgery. We hypothesize after 6 weeks of BFR training will contribute to 13 (76%) or more participants will achieve scores within one standard deviation of normative values for isometric strength and functional tests at six months following shoulder stabilization surgery. Furthermore, we hypothesize that 14 (82%) or more participants will report improved patientreported outcomes as determined by the minimal clinical difference (MCD) at 12 weeks and six months post-operatively. Objective 1: To evaluate the effectiveness of blood flow restriction (BFR) training on shoulder isometric strength, as measured by a digital handheld dynamotor following shoulder stabilization surgery in military cadets. Objective 2: To evaluate the effectiveness of blood flow restriction (BFR) training on shoulder range of motion, as measured by a digital inclinometer, following shoulder stabilization surgery in military cadets. Objective 3: To evaluate the effectiveness of blood flow restriction (BFR) training on shoulder function as measured by the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST), Seated Shot-Put Test (SSPT), and Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT), following shoulder stabilization surgery in military cadets. Objective 4: To evaluate the effectiveness of BFR training on shoulder pain, measured by a numerical pain rating scale, following shoulder stabilization surgery in military cadets. Objective 5: To evaluate the effectiveness of a BFR training on patient-reported outcomes, measured by Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and the Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) following shoulder stabilization surgery in military cadets. Aim 1:To identify whether BFR with Physical Therapy is more effective at increasing shoulder strength than therapy alone following shoulder stabilization surgery. We hypothesize that the BFR with Physical Therapy group will be more effective at increasing shoulder strength than the Physical Therapy group without BFR following shoulder stabilization surgery. Aim 2:To identify whether BFR with Physical Therapy is more effective at increasing shoulder function than therapy alone following shoulder stabilization surgery. We hypothesize that the BFR with Physical Therapy group will be more effective at increasing shoulder function than the Physical Therapy group without BFR following shoulder stabilization surgery.
This study will examine the improvement in middle ear optical coherence tomography imaging from the topical application of glycerol to the tympanic membrane in normal, opaque and post-operative ears
This is an observational, prospective study of patients undergoing a surgical procedure. Three parallel studies are taking place with collaborators in other countries. This study aims to bring novel insights regarding the benefits of pre-oxygenation combining standard oxygen facemask with high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO), as opposed to standard oxygen facemask alone by assessing end-tidal oxygen (ETO2) levels after intubation.
