Filter by:This is a randomized controlled trial evaluation effect of postoperative rehabilitation after surgery for lumbar disc herniation. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of unsupervised home exercises compared to supervised physical rehabilitation. Secondary aims of this study are to determine if there is a difference in cost-effectiveness in patients undergoing supervised physical rehabilitation in patients after surgery for lumbar disc herniation compared to unsupervised home exercises.
This project will investigate whether reduction in ambient light and elimination of noise on induction of anesthesia alters anxiety (modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale or mYPAS) or compliance (induction compliance checklist or ICC scoring), alters recovery following emergence using pain scores, analgesic requirements, and emergence delirium (post anesthesia emergence delirium or PAED), or post-discharge behavior at 1, 7 and 14 days (modified post hospitalization behaviour questionnaire or PHBQ) in patients who receive anxiolytic premedication. In addition, the investigators will assess the cumulative level of nose exposure that patients experience during the perioperative period.
The possibility of exploring the lungs by lung ultrasound, a non-invasive tool, is becoming increasingly popular for anesthesiologists. Recently, Lichtenstein has described the FALLS protocol (Fluid Administration Limited by Lung Sonography) which uses the potential of pulmonary ultrasound to evaluate early pulmonary overload due to fluid administration at a subclinical stage. Indeed, fluid administration can generate a sub-clinical interstitial syndrome that can be detected by passing from a profile A to a profile B in lung ultrasound. The transition from a profile A to a profile B therefore corresponds to the transition from a state of preload dependent to a state of preload independence. However, this tool has not been studied in the operating room. The main objective of this study will be to study the correlation between pulmonary ultrasound and SV variation measured by esophageal Doppler during fluid administration in patients with haemodynamic optimisation in the operating room during digestive, urological, gynecological and orthopedic surgeries. The main expected result is the following: good correlation between the absence of increased SV in the esophageal Doppler and the appearance of a B-profile lung ultrasound fluid administration in the operating room.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients are able to participate in a so called prehabilitation program (prior to the beginning of cancer treatment) which includes (1) a supervised and home-based exercise program plus one educational session or (2) just home-based exercise plus one educational session or (3) just one educational session. Breast cancer surgery may have potential for several side effects, including functional (e.g. flexibility in the affected arm, lymphedema [swelling that generally occurs in the arms or legs that occurs as a result of the removal of or damage to lymph nodes as a part of cancer treatment], shoulder pain) and psychosocial (e.g. reduced quality of life, increased fatigue) aspects. Evidence shows that exercise is considered to be an effective treatment approach in breast cancer patients during and after treatment with regard to the above mentioned side-effects. Also, prehabilitative exercise in colon and lung cancer patients was shown as feasible and effective. However, no experience exits with regard to prehabilitation exercise in breast cancer patients.
Preoperative nutritional state is closely related to perioperative morbidity and complications. This study aims to determine the effect of a protein-rich meal service in the preoperative setting compared to usual care.
This study evaluates the effect of music and its influence on anesthetic requirements during total knee replacement surgery. Half of the participants will receive noise-cancelling headphones in the operating room, and the other half of participants will receive noise-cancelling headphones with music playing.
Post-operative pain following lumbar spine fusion is frequently difficult to manage and can lead to increased doses of opiate pain medications to control pain. In this study, the use of subcutaneous local anesthesia will be studied to determine its efficacy at reducing post-operative pain following spinal fusion surgery.
The objective is to measure the adjusted association between preoperative anemia and total hospital costs. We hypothesize that patients with anemia before surgery will have higher hospitalization costs than people without anemia.
Demonstrate the ability of the RQ, measured indirectly from the anesthesia ventilator, to predict the occurrence of anaerobic metabolism in patients operated of major non-cardiac surgical operation in the operating room
Prospective collection of health related personal data and biological material (tissue biopsy) in patients undergoing mastectomy.
