Filter by:The aim of this observational study is to analyze the short- and long-term outcome after surgical implantation of the Codubix® Ribs prosthesis in a descriptive and non-statistical way.
The thoracic epidural catheterization (TEC) can be both uncomfortable and fearful for patients when done awake with the thought that the procedure may be painful. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of subanesthetic intravenous ketamine administration on pain and anxiety during the TEC procedure.
Objective: The authors hypothesized that combined deep and superficial serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is as effective as erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Design: A prospective randomized controlled study. Participants: Adult patients undergoing elective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Interventions: Preoperative SAPB or ESPB implementation.
This project will be a Randomized clinical trial conducted to compare Short-term effects of thoracic spine manual traction with mobilization and Thoracic manipulation in patients with mid thoracic pain and pseudo visceral symptoms. Sample will be collected through non-probability convenient sampling, following eligibility criteria from Sehat Medical complex, Lahore. Eligibility criteria will be Age group between 20 to 40 years both male and female genders with mid thoracic pain having pseudo visceral symptoms. Referred by physician after exclusion of post-surgical condition from past 6 months Neurological, Pulmonological, Cardiac, Musculoskeletal and Esophageal conditions. Participants will be randomly allocated in two groups via sealed envelope method, baseline assessment will be done, Group A participants will be given baseline treatment along with Thoracic spine manual traction with mobilization, Group B participants will be given baseline treatment along with Thoracic manipulation protocol. Pre and post intervention assessment will be done via, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), Revised Oswestry thoracic pain disability questionnaire (ODI) and Inclinometer to measure ROM of Thoracic spine,3 sessions per week will be given for 4 weeks, data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 29.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of thoracic extension versus thoracic stabilization exercises on pain, stiffness, range of motion, disability and posture in patients with Maigne's thoracic pain.This study will be a randomized clinical trial and 32 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. they will be allocated into 2 groups using non- probability purposive sampling technique. Group A will receive conventional treatment, myofascial release, thoracic spine mobilization with Thoracic Extension exercise program, while Group B will receive conventional treatment, myofascial release, thoracic spine mobilization with Thoracic Stabilization exercise program. Outcome measure: Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Goniometer, Thoracic Stiffness Index, Revised Oswestry Thoracic Pain Disability Questionnaire, standing thoracic X-ray and Flexi curve ruler, will measure pain, thoracic flexion and extension, Cobb's angle, kyphosis index, thoracic stiffness index and disability. Both groups will receive a total of 45 minutes session, thrice a week for 3 weeks. Measurements will be taken at the baseline, at the end of 3rd week and for long-term effects at the end of 6th week. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 21.
A Randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Actilife physiotherapy Rehabilitation center, Horizon Hospital Lahore through a convenient sampling technique on patients who will be allocated using simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with the self-mobilization technique of thoracic spine and Group B will be treated with thoracic stretching exercises at a frequency of 2 sets with 6 repetitions and thrice a week. Outcome measures will be NPRS, Goniometer, and Oswestry disability index for thoracic spine after 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 21.
Thoracic complications directly or indirectly consequence of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) (including either pathologies strictly related to the infection, or iatrogenic effects of therapeutic attempts to treat it) have been described during the pandemic. Many of the above conditions often require a surgical approach but, based on published data reporting high early postoperative morbidity and mortality, many experts initially advised against any referral to surgery in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, the issue is if salvage surgical approach should be always excluded or could be considered when it represents the only remaining effective option. In the absence of solid data and recommendations, this is a demanding challenge for thoracic surgeons. The investigators have coordinated a multicenter study to collect the experience of several worldwide high-volume thoracic surgery departments. Their objective is to investigate efficacy and safety of surgery in COVID-19 patients who developed thoracic complications that required operative management.
The optimal analgesia method in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) remains controversial. 105 patients scheduled to undergo video-assisted thoracic surgery under general anesthesia will be included. Patients will be randomly allocated to receive ultrasound-guided ESP blocks on T4 and T6 levels (Group ESPB, n = 35),PVB (Group PVB, n = 35) after the anesthesia induction and turning the patient in the lateral position or (Group ICNB, n=35) with 30 mL 0.5% bupivacaine +50 µ adrenaline will be injected by the surgeon through the thoracoscope .
The double lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) is the most widely-used device for single lung ventilation in current thoracic anesthesia practice. In recent years, the routine application of the videolaryngoscope for single lumen endotracheal intubation has increased; nevertheless there are few studies of the use of the videolaryngoscope for DLT. The authors wondered whether there were benefits to using the videolaryngoscope for DLT placement in patients with predicted normal airways. Therefore, this study was designed to compare the performances of the GlideScope®, the C-MAC®(D) videolaryngoscope and the Macintosh laryngoscope in DLT intubation.
Chest pain is one of the most difficult problems to solve after thoracic surgery. Its correct control is often quite difficult, which can cause complications due to an ineffective cough and superficial respiratory movements. It could provoke secretion retention, lung atelectasis, and even pneumonia. In addition, insufficient treatment of postoperative pain also causes a slower recovery of mobility, delaying the incorporation to daily life activities. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) is a technique that attempts to establish pain control by applying electrical current through superficial electrodes Is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation effective for the pain rehabilitation approach after thoracic surgery? Are there spirometry changes related to pulmonary function after the application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in postoperative rehabilitation of thoracic surgical patients?
