Oral Melatonin as Premedication During MAC for Patients Undergoing Loco-regional Chronic Subdural...
Monitored Anaesthesia CareLoco-regional Chronic Subdural Hematoma Evacuationinvestigators assume that administration of preoperative melatonin will reduce the required dose of propofol in participants undergoing loco-regional chronic subdural hematoma evacuation, it may as well provide better postoperative analgesia and decrease the incidence of delirium.

Embolization of the Middle Meningeal Artery for the Prevention of Chronic Subdural Hematoma Recurrence...
Chronic Subdural Hematomaat Risk of Post-operative Recurrence1 moreStandard of care for the management of symptomatic chronic subdural hematomas (SDHs) is neurosurgical burr-hole evacuation followed by drainage. Post-operative recurrence rates may be as high as 10 to 20 %. In particular, recurrence rate increases with antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy. Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization has been proposed as a novel treatment of chronic SDH. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of MMA embolization in reducing the risk of chronic SDH recurrence at 6 months after burr-hole surgery as compared with standard medical post-operative treatment in patients at high risk of post-operative recurrence.
Decompressive Craniectomy Combined With Hematoma Removal to Treat ICH
Intracranial HemorrhagesDecompressive craniectomy has been reported for the treatment of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. But no prospective randomised controlled trials have yet been undertaken to confirm its effect.The purpose of the study is to determine whether decompressive craniectomy post hematoma removal surgery after intracerebral hemorrhage will reduce the chances of a person dying or surviving with a long term disability.
Hematoma Block for Distal Radius Fracture
Distal Radius FractureThe purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ultrasound guided hematoma block versus traditional "blind" hematoma block for analgesia in distal radius fracture reduction.
Tranexamic Acid in the Treatment of Residual Chronic Subdural Hematoma
Chronic Subdural HematomaChronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common disease after minor head trauma, especially in elderly patients. This medical condition is characterized by blood collection in the subdural space, which can result in severe neurological impairment. Current standard of care is the evacuation of the CSDH by means of different surgical approaches. Although clinical and surgical outcomes are satisfying in most cases, considerable morbidity and mortality as well as recurrence rates of 3-31% are frequently reported. Therefore a non-surgical approach for the treatment of CSDH would be desirable. Tranexamic acid (TXA), an antifibrinolytic drug has been shown to decrease hematoma volume in a small cohort of patients suffering from CSDH. The present study is designed to test the hypothesis that TXA can reduce the volume of CSDH. Volume measurements of residual CSDH after burr-hole surgery will be performed during study course to quantify treatment success. The trial is designed as a randomized controlled pilot study, where half of the patients will be assigned to daily intake of TXA, whereas the other half will receive medical treatment according to current practice without TXA prescription. The primary endpoint of the study is defined as volume change in milliliters (mL) after 4-8 weeks of treatment. Secondary endpoints are hematoma volume change at 8-12 weeks, the rate of patients with resolution of the CSDH after 4-8 weeks and 8-12 weeks days, as well as the rate of reoperation during study course due to hematoma extension and neurological deterioration. Additionally the neurological outcome and the drug compatibility will be estimated as secondary objectives.
VAC Dressings for Colorectal Resections
Surgical Site InfectionWound Complication3 moreSurgical Site Infections (SSIs) and wound complications are common occurrences following colorectal resection surgery. Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (iNPWT) has developing evidence for improving wound complication rates in certain populations. However, there have been no RCTs to date that have looked at iNPWT use after colorectal surgery. We propose a study in which patients are randomized into one of two treatment arms: 1) incisional NPWT, and 2) standard sterile gauze dressings. Patients will be followed for 30 days for diagnosis of infection or wound complication. We will compare primary outcomes in each group using Chi-Squared statistical testing in order to report a Absolute Risk Reduction and Number Needed to Treat
Endoscopic Intraventricular Hematoma Evacuation Surgery Versus EVD for IVH
Intraventricular HemorrhageEndoscopic Intraventricular Evacuation Surgery1 moreIntraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) accounts for about 20% of intracerebral hemorrhage, but its mortality rate is as high as 50%-80%. External ventricular drainage (EVD) can rapidly reduce intracranial pressure, but clinical practice found that drainage catheters are often blocked by blood clots and long-term thrombolytic therapy is likely to cause secondary bleeding. The application of neuroendoscopy in IVH has attracted more and more attention in recent years. Studies have shown that the use of neuroendoscopy for IVH evacuation (with EVD) has advantages over EVD alone. However, the cases of most current research are small and all of them are retrospective studies, which means lacking prospective clinical studies to provide high-quality evidence. Based on this, we intend to conduct a randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical trial to compare the prognosis of patients who undergo endoscopic IVH evacuation surgery versus those who undergo external ventricular drainage for moderate to severe IVH.
Sterotactic Operation Integrating With Thrombolysis in Basal Ganglion Hemorrhage Evacuation
Basal Ganglia HaematomaSpontaneous cerebral hemorrhage is one of the main causes of death and disability all over the world, accounting for 20%-30% of all cerebrovascular diseases. Minimally invasive surgery of cerebral hemorrhage, especially puncture aspiration, can improve early and long-term neurological recovery in patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Until now, no standardized practice for minimally invasive surgery of spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage has been established. Hematoma puncture and drainage based on CT scans without precise localization and personalized approach design, which may lead to poor efficacy and high risk of complications. Our hospital has much experience in treating cerebral hemorrhage with stereotactic puncture and aspiration. So we conduct a prospective multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial to determine the therapeutic effects of puncture aspiration plus thrombolysis treatment for the perioperative and long-term recovery of patients with small to moderate hematoma in deep basal ganglia via computerized precision coordinates and personalized approach design.
