NCT07451444
Forty patients from both genders, who have undergone colorectal surgeries. Their ages ranged from 25 to 40 years. The participants was selected from El Mataria teaching hospital and randomly distributed into two equal groups. Group A (study group)This group includes 20 patients who performed Tai chi exercises. These exercises started 10 days post-operative, in addition to normal physiotherapy. Group B (control group) includes 20 patients who performed core stability exercises starting 10 days post-operative, in addition to normal physiotherapy exercises.
NCT04826575
We hypothesize that high intensity respiratory muscle training will improve ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2 slope) and will be associated with decreased PPC, decreased mortality and better quality of life in lung resection candidates. Accordingly, the aim of this study will be to compare rest and exercise ventilation and gas exchange parameters as well as postoperative complications, quality of life and mortality in patients who undergo high intensity respiratory muscle training compared to patients who receive the usual standard of care.
NCT06816407
Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication after abdominal surgery, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and delayed passage of flatus and stool. Management remains challenging, with limited pharmacological options available. Prucalopride, a selective serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonist, has shown promise in accelerating gastrointestinal recovery after surgery. However, the optimal timing and dosing for preventing POI remains unclear. Higher doses may provide more potent prokinetic effects in the postoperative setting. his study investigates if higher doses of prucalopride (4 mg) improve bowel function return and hospital stay in elective colorectal surgery patients compared to standard doses and placebo.
NCT04197869
The hypothesis is that starting a bowel regimen with Polyethylene Glycol prior to robotic assisted sacrocolpopexy will decrease time to first bowel movement after surgery. The experimental group will take a pre-operative course of polyethylene glycol daily for seven days prior to procedure date. The control group will not be given any intervention preoperatively. All patients will take polyethylene glycol postoperatively.
NCT06439953
Various spine surgeons perform wound irrigation using saline mixed with vancomycin, relying on mechanical debridement of non-viable tissue, physical disruption of biofilm, and bacteriostatic effect against gram positive flora. When used as a powder, topical application of vancomycin has demonstrated increased risk of symptomatic seroma formation, which is an adverse outcome that often requires bedside or intra-operative aspiration. Broad-spectrum antiseptic agents, such as Irrisept, offer bacteriocidal properties to eliminate hardware inoculation, thereby minimizing the risk of deep space infection, while obviating the risk of seroma development.
NCT04293653
In the ProPEL study the effect of a protocol designed for elderly patients about to undergo emergency abdominal surgery will be investigated. The protocol addresses issues of both frailty and ceiling-of -care decisions.
NCT04503720
Major abdominal surgery is associated with significant complications which may lead to morbidity and mortality. Pain experienced after surgery affects the recovery from surgery. Our study aims to evaluate the current gold standard of PCA morphine infusion against a continuous wound infusion (CLoWI). The use of CLoWI negates the side-effects of opioids, and will be the first randomised controlled trial to compare PCA (Morphine) with CLoWI-LA (Ropivacaine).
NCT04717817
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of pre-operative Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using an IMT Threshold device (Philips), on early postoperative lung function recovery and on the occurrence of post-operative pulmonary complications (PPC) after major cardiothoracic surgery with and without sternotomy. As frailty can affect postoperative outcome, the relation between frailty, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and post-operative outcome is investigated additionally.
NCT04585633
The aim of our study is to prevent unnecessary intensive care unit hospitalizations by developing a scoring system to detect low-risk patients after elective intracranial neurosurgery operation.
NCT06050551
This study aims to figure out how small-bore pigtail catheter or large-bore chest tube for postoperative drainage impact on analgesic efficacy and actually enhance recovery postoperatively.
NCT05710913
This Study aims to develop machine learning models with the ability to predict patients' BMI and complications after Bariatric Surgery (CABS-Score). This Study also aims to develop machine learning models with the ability to predict diabetic (DM II)patients' remission rate after Bariatric Surgery. The service mentioned above will be publicly available as a web-based application
NCT04584827
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of the level of metabolites used in routine on mortality and morbidity in patients who will undergo intracranial surgery with craniotomy.
NCT04797312
Opioid-Free Anesthesia (OFA) is an anesthesia protocol that does not use morphine, and is increasingly used routinely. Indeed, this protocol would theoretically allow a better post-operative analgesic control, a lower incidence of post-operative complications (e.g. post-operative nausea and vomiting). In the end, it would also allow a better overall post-operative recovery and a decrease in the incidence of chronic post-operative pain. Nevertheless, the literature is poor on this issue and no randomized controlled study has evaluated the effect of the use of this type of anesthesia protocol on postoperative recovery.
NCT04620850
Research objectives To compare the efficacy of acupressure with no acupressure to examine time to first flatus in patient post cesarean section ; Acupressure at ST-36 Zusanli (lateral to anterior crest of tibia, in the tibialis anterior muscle) Research hypothesis Patients who received acupressure will have earlier flatus passage
NCT04700995
The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the incidence, intensity and duration of postoperative pain following the removal of root canal obturation materials canals using rotary (ProTaper Universal or Hyflex EDM) or reciprocating file (Reciproc Blue or WaveOne Gold) systems. The null hypothesis tested was that there is no difference in postoperative pain following the retreatment procedure between the four systems used.
NCT03186157
Decompressive craniectomy is frequently used to treat increased intracranial pressure or an intracranial mass effect. Trephined Syndrome describes a neurological deterioration, which is attributed to a large craniectomy. The symptomatology is varied but includes headache, aggravation of a hemisyndrome or cognitive disorders, often has an orthostatic component and improves or disappears with cranioplasty. The incidence of Trephined Syndrome has been reported between 7% and 26%. However, it might be underestimated if the course of cognitive functions before and after cranioplasty were insufficiently documented.
NCT04417790
Increased extravascular lung water (EVLW) may increase mortality and morbidity in cardiopulmonary pathology. Many factors can cause increased extravascular lung water and pulmonary edema after cardiac surgery. This includes left ventricular failure, acute mitral regurgitation; systemic inflammatory response post-cardiopulmonary bypass, left to right shunts, transfusion associated acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) and sepsis. The clinical assessment of lung water ranges from auscultation to radiological methods to invasive measurements like dye dilution or thermodilution studies. Lung ultrasonography is the newest modality for noninvasive assessment of extravascular lung water. Lung ultrasound has been validated against auscultation, chest X-rays, CT chest as well as the bedside gold standard, transpulmonary thermodilution in adults. Critically ill children are more susceptible to complications and worsened outcomes from increased EVLW. Lung ultrasound correlates with clinical and radiological endpoints, but has not been validated against invasive objective measures like transpulmonary thermodilution. Evaluation of transpulmonary thermodilution setups in the pediatric population has shown different normal values and cutoffs compared to adults, possibly due to differential rates growth and development. It is aimed to investigate the correlation of Lung ultrasound based indices of extravascular lung water to invasive measures, assess optimum cutoffs to appropriate clinical endpoints and evaluate their sensitivity and specificity.
NCT04479215
This study is aimed to only observe the feeding practices after surgery in children undergoing below umbilicus surgery in day care and any impact of length of fasting on vomiting after surgery. If the child meets the criteria for being included in this study, the parents will be provided with informed consent form at the time of arrival at the daycare unit or at the time of arrival in the waiting area of the operating room. If parents agree and sign the consent form, then the child will be included in the study. The length of fasting period after the surgery and any episode of vomiting from after surgery till discharge time to home, will be recorded on a printed form. The nature of this study is only observation and the child will not be subjected to any new technique or medications. Parents will also be contacted on the next day of surgery on the phone number for any further observation about the child's feeding and vomiting and parental satisfaction with the anesthesia given will also be asked.
NCT04301232
122 ASA I-II patients were enrolled into the study. IV propofol, fentanyl and rocuronium were used for the induction and a total intravenous anesthesia technique for the maintenance of anesthesia. Sugammadex was given for neuromuscular blockade reversal. A multi-modal analgesic regimen was utilized. Primary outcome measures were PACU bypass rates and hospital discharge times. Secondary outcome measure was to compare discharge scoring systems for PACU bypass assessment: modified Aldrete Scoring System (mASS), White's Fast-Tracking Scoring System (WFTSS), and SPEEDS criteria
NCT03323619
Aortic stenosis is a frequent valvulopathy in Europe and North America. It occurs mainly over 65 years (2-7% of the population over 65 years). Treatment of symptomatic stenosis is an indication of aortic valve replacement. For patients with high surgical risk (EuroSCORE II\> 6), TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) is recommended. This type of procedure concerns elderly patients (75-80 years on average in the literature) therefore the anesthesia technique must be optimal. The postoperative complications are, on the one hand, well-described surgical complications (Cardiogenic shock, bleeding, rhythm disorders, renal insufficiency) and, on the other hand, those related to anesthesia which are less well characterized. There is no consensus on best anesthesia technique for TAVI procedure managment. Between teams practices are different. It may consist of general anesthesia (GA) or local anesthesia with sedation (LASed). Elderly anesthesia has specific complications, including acute cerebral disturbances (delirium) usually occurring within 24 to 48 hours postoperatively and up to 7 days. It is recommended to screen delirium for patients admitted in intensive care using the CAM-ICU scale. The aim of the study is to observe the impact of the anesthesia technique (GA versus LASed) on delirium in post-operative aortic valve replacement with TAVI procedure
