Effect of Discharge Education on Discharge Readiness and Satisfaction

Disc Herniation

Today, the increase in the cost of health services, the development of technology and the shortening of the hospitalization period day by day due to the reasons for preventing complications such as hospital infections have increased the importance of discharge planning. Optimum maintenance of home care of patients who underwent surgery after discharge is possible with an effective discharge education given to the patient and their relatives and the preparation of the patients. In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of the discharge training given to the patients who underwent Lumbar Disc Herniation Surgery with the method of feedback on their readiness for discharge and their satisfaction with the discharge training. Among the patient groups who were given and not trained by the teach-back method; H01. There is no difference between the scores of readiness for discharge. H02. There is no difference between discharge training satisfaction scores. H11: There is a difference between the scores of being ready for discharge. H12: There is a difference between discharge training satisfaction scores.

Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist for Neonates With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias (CDH) are typically repaired surgically in the first few days of a neonate's life. Following surgical repair, infants usually require ventilatory support to ensure adequate oxygenation. Traditionally assist control ventilation (ACV) has been used to support neonates with CDH. Due to delivering a fixed pressure of oxygen, ACV has been associated with barotrauma and long-term lung damage. A more recent approach to ventilation is non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA). NIV-NAVA uses electrical signals of the diaphragm to deliver a proportional pressure of oxygen. Our dual-centre randomised cross-over trial aims to investigate the efficacy of NIV-NAVA compared to ACV for supporting neonates with CDH.

Anterior Gastropexy vs. No Anterior Gastropexy for Paraesophageal Hernia Repair

Paraesophageal HerniaHiatal Hernia Large

This study evaluates the effect of anterior gastropexy (one or more sutures fixing the stomach to the inner abdominal wall) on improving durability of paraesophageal hernia repair. Half of participants will receive anterior gastropexy, while the other half will not. The hypothesis is that anterior gastropexy will help to prevent paraesophageal hernias from recurring.

Primary and Secondary Ventral Hernia Repair Using Long-term Resorbable Versus Non-resorbable Large...

Primary and Secondary Ventral Hernia

Since abdominal wall hernia repair is currently performed with the use of a mesh, side effects associated with the mesh are frequently reported during long term follow-up. These side effects are related to shrinkage of the mesh, adhesions to the bowl, pain, and inflammation of the skin and bowl. To reduce or prevent these effects, a fully resorbing mesh has been developed, which provides sufficient support and strength to allow efficient recovery of the abdominal wall, but also disappear from your body in three years time, so that you no longer have any synthetic material in your body. Previous resorbing meshes also disappeared but over a much shorter period of time, so that the hernia was insufficiently healed, with recurrence as a result. The TIGR™ mesh (the resorbable mesh used in the study) is in principle a synthetic mesh, made of two commonly used polymers, however it will retain 50% of its initial strength after six months. This in theory is enough to provide support of the collagen healing process during the initial wound-healing phase, but also to support the transition of initial collagen to functional collagen. The aim of this study is to compare TIGR™ with large pore mesh used in the repair of the anterior abdominal wall repair (incisional hernia, umbilical hernia, etc..Inguinal hernias are not part of the study). Therefore the patients will be divided into two groups, one group will be treated with a resorbing mesh, the other group will be treated with a permanent mesh. Otherwise there will be no difference in the medication or the surgical techniques used.

Manual Therapy and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Patients With Hiatal Hernia

Gastroesophageal Reflux

Introduction: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is highly prevalent in our society. The association between GERD and hiatal hernia has been shown to be etiologically critical in the onset or worsening of these patients' clinic. Pharmacological treatment with proton pump inhibitors (IBPs) and H2 blockers is commonly prescribed and will be followed for many patients for life. The cost of health care and the effects of prolonged consumption of PPIs are questionable, and other therapeutic alternatives are being considered. Only in exceptional cases and in patients with GERD and certain types of hiatal hernia is surgery the treatment of choice. Physiotherapy at the time proposed respiratory and diaphragmatic training as a therapeutic alternative that would improve the function of anti-reflux barriers. Recently, other studies evaluating the effectiveness of manual techniques on the crural diaphragm or osteopathic maneuvers on the cervical and thoracic region have obtained good results in the improvement of the MRGE clinic. In this context, the clinical trial presented specifically treats those with reflux disease associated with a Type I hiatal hernia with manual therapy. Material and methods: The aim of the clinical study is to evaluate the effects of a clinical intervention protocol on patients with GERD for type I hiatal hernia. The variables are assessed: GERD impact using the GIS MRG Impact Scale, and the EVA format scale for the Reflux Clinic (IEPT) used by the Surgery Service of the Parc Taulí Hospital in Sabadell . The productivity and quality of life of these patients is also assessed using the QOLRAD reflux and dyspepsia patient quality of life questionnaire. The randomized, double-blind clinical trial has a sample of 44 patients, divided into an intervention group treated with the protocol under study, and a control group undergoing treatment that does not affect the hernia. hiatus and reflux. A total of three treatment sessions are performed on each subject. The participants answer the different questionnaires, before the start of the treatment and for each session, one week after the treatment and one month later. In the protocol, maneuvers are performed on the epigastric region, thoracic diaphragm, mediastinum and anterior face of the neck.
