Filter by:The recovery of cognitive and psychomotor functions is best performed under anesthesia after desflurane when propofol in that obtaining a Aldrete score> 8/10 output of the allowing SSPI. The principal objective is to compare the cognitive and psychomotor status of patients recovered an Aldrete score> 8/10 according to the anesthetic agent (propofol or desflurane) using three tests (Stroop test, Digit Symbol Substitution task and a test of verbal memory (visual verbal learning test) made SSPI.
Osteopathy is an alternative healthcare that seems effective in relieving the pain of patients. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative osteopathic care in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis. The secondary objectives are to assess pain during the first postoperative month on a VAS and knee function and quality of life at 6 months and 1 year. Our hypothesis is that osteopathy will decrease postoperative pain and increase knee function.
A randomized controlled study is performed to address the question of whether the topical application of a novel fibrin sealant, Evicel (Johnson & Johnson Wound Management, Ethicon, Somerville, NJ) in patient undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) reduce the perioperative blood loss and the need for allogenic blood transfusion compared to a control group. We hypothesize that fibrin sealant decrease the drop in post-operative hemoglobin level after total knee replacement.
Short and long term outcomes of total knee arthroplasty patients surgically exposed with patellar eversion are compared to those patients exposed by laterally retracting the patella. It was hypothesized that there would be no difference.
Total Knee Replacement can be performed under the combination of posterior lumbar plexus block plus sciatic nerve block. The investigators can have the same outcome by performing instead of posterior lumbar plexus block more peripheral nerve blocks. More specifically under the combination of sciatic nerve block plus femoral nerve block plus obturator nerve block.
To investigate the effects of lymphatic drainage massage performed immediately after total knee replacement in relation to reduction of limb circumference, pain reduction and functional improvement.
Major surgery involving the knee is often associated with severe postoperative pain. Postoperative pain control remains a significant contributor to delayed recovery and length of hospital stay. Approaches to minimize postoperative pain after surgery are a matter of major concern due to the need for early mobilization, a crucial factor in good postoperative rehabilitation. Femoral nerve blocks by either continuous infusion or single injection of anesthetics provide an effective method for analgesia while minimizing the need for systemic opioid therapy, reducing the opioid induced side effects, and facilitating early ambulation. Administration of fentanyl has shown to be a highly effective method to control pain after Total Knee Replacement (TKR). The investigators hypothesize that fentanyl infusions will result in greater post-operative strength in the operative knee.
The study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind sham study of TKA patients who receive a standard peri-operative treatment program plus Kneehab XP versus a standard peri-operative treatment program plus a sham device.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of Xarelto in the prophylaxis of VTE in Indian patients undergoing elective TKR/THR
The purpose of this study is to obtain a prospective database which will allow analysis of total knee outcomes.
