High-risk patients scheduled for thoracic cancer surgery are increasing and theoretically eligible to perioperative individualized goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT). However, thoracic surgery is challenging for intraoperative stroke volume (SV) and/or cardiac output monitoring because it requires lateral positioning, one-lung ventilation, and open-chest condition. Pulse contour analysis and esophageal Doppler have been proposed with contrasting results, whereas dynamic indices have been shown useless for predicting fluid responsiveness in that specific setting. Besides, more invasive technologies like thermodilution are not routinely used at the bedside by careproviders. Chest bioreactance seems to be a feasible, safe, rustic, easy-to-use, and plug-and-play method to non-invasively and continuously monitor SV and cardiac output in thoracic cancer surgery patients, able to detect significant spontaneous and pharmacologically-induced changes over time. To know if chest bioreactance could be used to conduct perioperative GDFT and impact patients 'outcome remains however to be demonstrated. Indeed, the routine fluid management in patients undergoing thoracic cancer surgery could be responsible of hypovolemia/hypoperfusion and/or hypervolemia/congestion leading to postoperative complications and poor outcomes. The present national prospective multicenter randomized simple blind study aims to demonstrate that an individualized goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) driven by chest bioreactance improves outcomes within 30 days in thoracic cancer surgery patients when compared with a standard of care. As double blind is not possible, an adjudication committee, whose members will be unaware of the procedure assignments, will adjudicate all the clinical outcomes.
To explore the effect of a family-centered, eight-week, progressive sit-to-stand Tai Chi exercise on lung function and mental health in patients after thoracoscopic surgery_
Evaluation of the ability of the Palpator to detect hidden (occult) lung tumours that cannot be visualized or palpated using the traditional methods of visual inspection, grasper palpation, and VATS ultrasound.
Various modalities have been proposed for real-time confirmation of loss of resistance (LOR) for thoracic epidural blocks. With real-time ultrasound (US) guidance, the anesthesiologist attempts to visualize the sonographic advancement of the epidural needle and penetration of the epidural space (as detected by LOR) This observational study is set out to confirm the reliability of real-time ultrasound guidance as an adjunct to LOR for thoracic epidural blocks.
The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of Sintilimab (IBI308) in patients with resectable NSCLC, and to provide new treatment options for neoadjuvant therapy in patients with stage II-IIIA NSCLC
The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of SHR-1210 in combination with the anti-vascular survival target drug apatinib in patients with resectable NSCLC, and to provide new treatment options for neoadjuvant therapy in patients with the period IB-IIIA NSCLC.
This phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the safety and activity of apatinib,a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, in combination with EGFR-TKI in NSCLC with T790M-negative after the failure of EGFR-TKI therapy.
The present single-center prospective exploratory study, conducted at Heidelberg University Hospital, assesses the feasibility of introducing a concept for additional patient care based on a mobile application for patients undergoing radiotherapy. Patients presenting themselves for the irradiation of thoracic or pelvic tumors will be surveyed regarding general performance, treatment-related Quality of Life (QoL) and symptoms and their need to personally consult a physician on a treatment-daily basis by means of a mobile application. The primary endpoint of feasibility will be reached when 80% of the patients have successfully answered 80% of their respective questions scheduled for each treatment day. Furthermore, treatment-related patient satisfaction and diagnosis-related QoL is assessed by PSQ-18 and EORTC questionnaires at the end of radiotherapy and at the first follow-up.
