Filter by:The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. Movements are carried out in most of the activities we participate in, such as work, sports, household tasks, shopping and leisure activities. Shoulder diseases affect 21% of the western population and is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in orthopedics and rehabilitation consultations. Shoulder pain is in a large majority of cases related to the slope of the acromion and rotator cuff pathology, which would include the slope of the acromion syndrome. The degree of involvement can range from bursitis, tendinitis, to tendinous ruptures. Initial treatment is usually conservative and may consist of anti-inflammatory medication and rehabilitation. When the pain is not relieved, surgery is usually recommended. Surgery for rotator cuff tears is increasingly performed minimally invasive, using arthroscopy. Hospital admission days are currently being reduced, so many of the scheduled shoulder surgeries are performed via the Outpatient Surgery Unit. Often, users are not seen again by the surgeon until a week after the intervention. The affected person must empower themselves and participate actively and progressively in their recovery process. This process begins right after the surgical intervention. Therefore, it is very important that the person has all the necessary information about the surgical procedure that has been performed. Patient education is crucial to reduce anxiety and optimize surgical outcomes.
Intercostal cryoanalgesia is a technique that allows extensive and prolonged analgesia of the hemithorax. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of intercostal cryoanalgesia as an adjunct to a single-injection paravertebral block for the prevention of chronic thoracic pain after VATS lung resection surgery.
The aim of the study is to examine the effects of distraction methods such as watching cartoons and ball squeezing on the level of pain and physiological parameters in the postoperative period in children aged 6-12 years who have outpatient surgery. The research is a randomized controlled trial. The sample number was determined as 40 children (total 120) in each group. Information Form, Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form, Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be used to collect research data. In the initiative group, two attempts will be implemented, namely watching cartoons and squeezing the ball. Interventions will be implemented for a total of 15 minutes. Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form and Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be filled in before the interventions are applied, 10 minutes during the intervention and 5 minutes after the intervention is completed. In the control group, the 10th and 20th minute physiological parameters and the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be evaluated after the child comes to the service after the operation and is prepared for the postoperative period (taking vital signs, putting on clothes, controlling bleeding, telling the feeding time, etc.). In the analysis of study data; chi-square test for descriptive statistics, chi-square test for repeated measurements, single factor analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman will be used. In the study, values at the p<0.05 level were considered statistically significant.
This study aims to find out the role of plasma I-FABP level, SOFA score, fluid balance, and vasopressor dose in predicting gastrointestinal dysfunction in high-risk postoperative patients treated in ICU
The field of surgery continues to benefit from innovative solutions, changing surgical methods and techniques. Evaluation in terms of efficacy and Quality-Safety is an essential topic that directly affects the introduction of innovations. It is essential to carry out a robust evaluation strategy for surgical innovations, even if these are often opposed to drug innovations. The aim of this study is to investigate the anthropological, socio-cultural and psychological differences of surgeons that influence the evaluation of surgical innovations.
The primary objective is to demonstrate superiority of neoadjuvant systemic therapy followed by repeat local treatment as compared to upfront repeat local treatment in patients with at least one locally treatable recurrent CRLM in the absence of extrahepatic disease.
The study seeks to compare the efficacy of conventional direct laryngoscopy using a Macintosh blade with the McGrath videolaryngoscope for rapid sequence endotracheal intubation.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled study to test the effect of multimedia supported patient education reinforced with the "teach back" method in the preoperative period on postoperative mobilization in women who underwent gynecological oncology surgery.
The study aims at comparing two different approaches for soft tissue augmentation at implants lacking keratinized and adherent mucosa width: the free gingival graft (FGG) vs the Buccal Strip Graft in combination with a xenogeneic collagen matrix (BSG + CM)
Regional anaesthetic techniques, or nerve blocks, are commonly used to provide postoperative pain relief for patients undergoing surgery. At present in University Hospital Galway, it is standard practice for patients undergoing bariatric sleeve gastrectomy surgery to receive a regional anaesthetic technique to improve their postoperative pain. There are a number of different regional anaesthetic options available for this surgery, but as yet, published evidence regarding which specific approach confers most benefit for patients is lacking. This study aims to compare two regional anaesthetic techniques - erector spinae plane blockade versus serratus anterior plane blockade plus subcostal transversus abdominus plane blockade - and assess if one approach provides a superior quality of recovery postoperatively for sleeve gastrectomy patients over the other.
