Filter by:This is a randomized clinical trial investigating the utility of apneic oxygenation via high flow nasal cannulae during airway management for infants general anaesthesia. Three groups will be compared, a control group at 0 L/min, a 0,2L/Kg/min and a 1L/Kg/min group. The primary outcome will be the time (in seconds) between onset of apnea and one of theses end-points : desaturation (SPO2 <95%) or Airway management completed.
Pain is a subjective experience that differs in intensity from one person to another. Appropriate medical care relies on an accurate assessment of the patients' condition. However, when it comes to subjective assessment, accurate assessment is a challenge. The most common tools used to estimate pain intensity depend on patient pain reports on a numerical pain scale (NPS) or a similar scales. Although these tools are widely used, there is a tendency to ignore the fact that the reliability and accuracy of pain reports are strongly influenced not only by the measuring instrument, but also by the person who uses it. A method has recently been developed to assess the accuracy of pain reports, and in a series of studies it has been found that the more accurate a person is in pain reports in response to stimulation,the smaller his placebo effect is .The aim of the study is to investigate whether assessing the accuracy of a person's pain reports can predict who will experience intensified post-operative pain and post-operative analgesic medications intake.The study will include 40 patients undergoing elective head & neck surgery. The study will be conducted prospectively and will include one pre-operative meeting to assess the accuracy of pain reports using the Focused Analgesia Selection Test (FAST). Patients will also complete pain-related psychological questionnaires during the session. In addition, post-operative pain measurements (NPS), and the use of pain relieving drugs (SOS) will be taken until release.
It is time-consuming for spine surgeons or radiologists to conduct manual classifications of spinal CT, which may also be correlated with high inter-observer variance. With the development of computer science, deep learning has emerged as a promising technique to classify images from individual level to pixel level. The main of the study is to automatically identify and classify the lesions, or segment targeted structures on spinal CT with deep learning.
Posterior wall osteotomy would be conducted to manage the old acetabular fracture. The outcome was reviewed to assess the feasibility of the surgical procedure.
Sugammadex is used to reverse the neuromuscular blocking effect of steroid neuromuscular blockers. Its cardiovascular effects and effect on brain cortex, if any, may be associated to the reversal of the neuromuscular block. The aim of the study was to investigate the pure effects of sugammadex in the absence of the agonist.
Cardiac output can be monitored using different invasive devices. Nexfin HD is a new, noninvasive device that uses model flow technology to measure stroke volume and thus computes cardiac output (CO). To evaluate this new device the investigators compared esophageal doppler CO to Nexfin HD CO in patients scheduled for elective abdominal surgery.
1. To investigate whether the auditory stimulation causes changes in hormones levels (cortisol+prolactin) during general anesthesia. 2. To determine if there is a correlation between hormones levels (cortisol+prolactin) and dreams recall. 3. To investigate whether, in patients receiving auditory stimulation, there is a correlation between hormones levels (cortisol+prolactin), serum remifentanil concentration and detection of implicit memory. 4. To investigate the presence of primary auditory cortex activation (temporal lobe) in patients with implicit memory and in those with dreams recall using the EEG-ERP 128 channels GES300 EGI system.
