Filter by:The body composition of individuals undergoing tonsillectomy is assessed through bioimpedance-based measurements conducted immediately before the surgery, as well as on the 7th and 21st days during the postoperative period.
The goal of this treatment study is to determine if doing lateral pharyngoplasty with tonsillectomy is better for children than doing tonsillectomy alone. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do children experience less pain after surgery when lateral pharyngoplasty is performed with tonsillectomy compared to tonsillectomy alone? - Do children eat/drink better when lateral pharyngoplasty is performed with tonsillectomy compared to tonsillectomy alone? - Is there a lower risk of bleeding after tonsillectomy when lateral pharyngoplasty is performed? Researchers will compare children undergoing tonsillectomy and lateral pharyngoplasty with children undergoing tonsillectomy alone to see if the participants experience less pain, better oral intake, and less bleeding complications after surgery. Parents of participants will be asked to record pain scores and pain medications given, approximate amounts of daily oral intake, and any complications after surgery.
Tonsillectomy is commonly described as one of the most painful procedures that an adult can undergo. This study's aim is to evaluate if pre-operative oral hydration has an impact in reducing post-operative pain, nausea and vomiting, and opioid medication use after adult tonsillectomies. Participants will be randomized to a low, medium and high fluid intake groups and will record fluid intake on the day before surgery. After surgery, participants will record their pain and nausea at timepoints up to 7 days post-operative. Medication use will be recorded up to the first post-operative follow-up visit with their physician.
The investigators are studying the use of a new medical device developed at Nationwide Children's. This technology has been licensed and produced by Zotarix LLC, a medical device company. It is designed to aid in retraction and provide protection of the lips during surgery. The investigators are not recording any of your identifiable personal health information except for the surgery date. This device, called the LabraGuard is a sterile, soft medical grade silicone, and no alternative device with these exact protective properties exists, and the investigators are trying to learn more about how it performs in different age children.
