NCT ID: NCT06462313 Not yet recruiting - General Anesthesia Clinical Trials

Dobutamine for Management of Surgical Patients With Septic Shock

Start date: June 20, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Septic shock is the last and most severe stage of sepsis and is defined by extremely low blood pressure, despite lots of intravenous fluids. The incidence of septic shock related cardiomyopathy was 10% to 70%. Besides, general anesthesia will inhibit the sympathetic nervous system, reduce myocardial contractility and aggravate cardiac dysfunction. No randomized controlled trials have yet explore the effects of dobutamine on clinical outcomes for patients with septic shock undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.

Clinical Research Plan for the Safety and Accuracy of Ultrasound-guided Radial Artery Puncture Catheterization

Start date: July 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

By observing the anatomical relationship and influencing factors of the radial artery through ultrasound, the optimal puncture location is selected, and puncture catheterization is guided to reduce the number of punctures, reduce complications, and improve safety and accuracy.

NCT ID: NCT05144620 Completed - Surgical Patients Clinical Trials

3D Printing for Pre-Surgical Planning

3D
Start date: December 30, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

3D printing is emerging as a new diagnostic tool for pre-surgical planning. 3D printed models are extremely advantageous to surgeons in their preoperative planning. Handling these physical replicas engages active spatial perception skills, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the presented information in an inherently intuitive manner that cannot be achieved with conventional methods of imaging review that use screen based 2D and volume rendered representations. The investigators are developing a novel technique to create 3D models derived directly from extremely high-resolution medical images that are superior in spatial and contrast resolution to current 3D modelling methods. This produces patient specific models that contain previously unachievable special fidelity and soft tissue differentiation. Investigators hypothesize that the preoperative use of these new diagnostic quality models will reduce surgical time and improve post-surgical outcomes in the near future. This prospective project will optimize the quality of these 3D models to create highly useful pre-surgical models. Investigators will target those subspecialist areas of the multidisciplinary surgical and imaging team where it is believed these models will have the most impact. The proposed prospective study has two major goals: 1) Investigate the use of uncompressed, ultrahigh resolution CT/MR datasets to produce diagnostic 3D models with identical spatial/contrast resolution to the acquired datasets in the target areas of congenital cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgical tumor resection and nephrectomy. 2) Compare the accuracy of this innovative method for 3D printing to radiological images and pathological data when available.

NCT ID: NCT04941820 Completed - Surgical Patients Clinical Trials

The Impact of Clinical Pharmacist in the Identification and Management of Treatment Related Problems in the Surgery Ward

Start date: September 29, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients in the surgery ward are at risk of morbidity and mortality from various types of treatment-related problems (TRPs). The primary aim of this study is to assess the impact of the clinical pharmacist in the identification and management of TRPs in the surgery ward.

NCT ID: NCT04457947 Not yet recruiting - Pregnant Women Clinical Trials

Exploring Aromatherapy Intervention in Acute Care

Aromatherapy
Start date: September 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study aims to explore how the use of inhaled essential oils impacts the experience of a laboring and postoperative surgical patient. It is expected that the aromatherapy intervention will decrease levels of nausea, anxiety, and improve the perception of being cared for in laboring mothers and patients recovering from surgery. By learning more about aromatherapy, the investigators may be able to expand the aromatherapy intervention to more patients in other Massachusetts General Hospital departments. 20 laboring patients will be recruited on admission to the labor and delivery inpatient unit. They will be invited to participate in this study by nurses caring for them. 20 postoperative surgical patients will be recruited on admission to the surgical inpatient unit. They will be invited to participate in this study by nurses caring for them

NCT ID: NCT04155346 Active, not recruiting - Preoperative Care Clinical Trials

Prehab for Surgery

Start date: November 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Surgical prehabilitation is the process of enhancing one's physical function and mental capacity to enable him/or her to withstand the stressor of surgery. Prehabilitation can be achieved via optimizing physical fitness, nutrition, and psychological health. Studies have shown that prehabilitation may prevent complications during and after surgery, reduce hospital length of stay, and improve postoperative recovery. Despite the growing interest in the field of prehabilitation, little is understood about how to implement prehabilitation an integrated clinical service. This study will examine the effect of a prehabilitation program that includes exercise, psychological, and nutritional optimization that emulates clinical integration pathways. Participants of this study will have a choice of participating in facility-based prehabilitation (FBP) or home-based prehabilitation (HBP) depending on their needs/accessibility to the Toronto General Hospital. Participant outcomes will be measured using standardized fitness testing, self-report questionnaires, and medical record reviews at baseline, one week preoperatively, and at 30 and 90 days postoperatively. A comprehensive assessment of feasibility will also be conducted to better understand facilitators and barriers to clinical integration.

NCT ID: NCT04112745 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Hospitalized Patients

The Effect of Magnetic Therapy on Pain Relief in Postoperation Patients

Start date: October 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Using Complementary therapies with conventional treatments to relieve pain can reduce the patient's medical expenses and increase the patient's psychological feeling of self-control of the body. Static magnetic therapy is one of the non-invasive complementary therapies. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of static magnetic therapy on pain relief in hospitalized patients. In this study, a quasi-experimental design with double-blind randomization method was proposed. 220 inpatients in a teaching hospital in central Taiwan were selected as the research subjects, and divided into experimental group and control group of 110. SPSS software package was used for descriptive and inferential statistical analysis in this study. For descriptive statistical analysis, frequency distribution, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were utilized. Inferential statistical analysis was applied with Chi-square test, Pearson's correlation, t-test, ANOVA, and Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE). The P value of significance level was set less than 0.05.

NCT ID: NCT03629431 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Pulmonary Complication

Prophylactic Noninvasive Ventilation in vs Postoperative Standard Care in High Risk Patients According to ARISCAT Score

ANTICIPUSC
Start date: October 20, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Postoperative pulmonary complications are one of the most common complications after surgery. Noninvasive ventilation has been proposed post-operatively to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications. Prophylactic noninvasive ventilation performed systematically in a non-specific population is without interest. The difficulty for the practitioner is to target patients at higher risk of developing a postoperative pulmonary complications in order to guiding them to a post-operative specialized care pathway. The use of the ARISCAT score, validated on a large European prospective cohort, makes it possible to evaluate, preoperatively, the risk of occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complication in the patient. The hypothesis of the present research is that early postoperative preventive treatment with noninvasive ventilation, in patients at risk of postoperative pulmonary complications according to the preoperative evaluation according to the ARISCAT score, could have an interest in reducing these complications with a superior efficiency over standard techniques.
