Active clinical trials for "Postoperative Complications"

In 2006, our hospital improved and began to use cervical expansive open-door laminoplasty preserving the unilateral ligament with muscle complex.The effect of recent follow-up, postoperative complications and their effects on posterior cervical muscle volume were also studied.However, there are few reports about medium and long-term follow-up.

Open heart surgeries are one of the major and complicated surgeries performed frequently in the world due to the prolongation of life expectancy and developments in medicine. As a result of these operations, not only the heart and vessels, but also all organs and systems depending on the systemic circulation are affected. Some biological inflammation markers have been determinant in determining cardiovascular risk. High neutrophil count was associated with increased mortality, while low lymphocyte count was a strong constant predictor of mortality. In addition, increased serum uric acid (UA) levels have been found to be associated with obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, which is associated with cardiovascular disease risk. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of patients who underwent coronary bypass surgery under elective conditions in Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Medicine between 2008-2020 on in-hospital and 1-year mortality based on preoperative neutrophil / lymphocyte ratios and uric acid values.

There is currently no standardization in the use of the transanal decompressive tube during the postoperative after a colorectal surgery. The available evidence is based on studies with methodological differences. Most of the studies exclude patients with a diverting ileostomy, which are those patients who have a higher risk of anastomotic leak, so the real effect of transanal decompressive tube could have been masked. For this reason we believe that to assess the true effect of rectal decompression, patients with diverting stoma should be included.

The aim of this retrospective before-after-study is to evaluate the potential association of etomidate vs. propofol as an induction agent for major cardiac surgery on infectious post-operative complications. The investigators hypothesize that etomidate increases the rate post-operative infectious complications in cardiosurgical patients.

In this study, the investigators tend to highlight pre and peroperative factors that predict major postoperative complication after a surgery for resection of peritoneal carcinomatosis. Factors associated with major postoperative complications were used to elaborate un predictive nomogram model. A score was assigned for each factor of the nomogram which correspond to the weight of the association of the factor with the occurrence of the major postoperative complication. The nomogram assessed the probability of major postoperative complication after surgery by adding up the scores identified on the "Points" scale for each factor. The total score projected from the "Total points" axis to the "Risk of major postoperative complication" axis, indicated the probability of major postoperative complication occurrence. A cut-off of total score was calculated to identify patients at low or high risk for major postoperative complications. The developed nomogram may be a helpful tool to adapt postoperative monitoring of patients after surgery of peritoneal carcinomatosis resection according to the risk of occurrence of a major postoperative complication.

Pulmonary postoperative complications (PPC) are among the main causes of surgical complications affecting both postoperative morbidity and mortality. Little is known about the effect of intraoperative VQ mismatch on the occurrence of PPC. In this trial the investigators will evaluate if intraoperative VQ mismatch may predict PPC in a population of patients undergoing major surgery.

Short title POWER Audit Methods 60 days national (Spain) audit of postoperative complications following elective gastrointestinal surgery within an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol. Research sites Hospitals undertaking elective lower gastrointestinal surgery. Objective To provide detailed data describing post-operative complications and associated mortality; and length of stay. To provide detailed data describing adherence to ERAS protocol and its association to morbidity. Number of patients Not specified. All eligible patients undergoing surgery during the study month. Inclusion Criteria All adult patients (aged ≥18 years) undergoing lower gastrointestinal elective surgery within an ERAS protocol during the 60 day study period. Statistical analysis Univariate analysis will be used to test factors (patient, surgical, and ERAS related) associated with surgical complications, length of stay (LOS) and in-hospital death. Single and multi-level logistic regression models will be constructed to identify factors independently associated with these outcomes and to adjust for differences in confounding factors. A stepwise approach will be used to enter new terms. A single final analysis is planned at the end of the study. Summary statistics with post hoc Bonferroni corrections will be used to assess possible dose-response dependence in percentage of patients with postoperative complications and LOS. Proposed Start Date A 60 day period between 2017 Proposed End Date Data collection will end by September 2017 Study Duration Six months

The objective of this study will be to estimate the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (DCPO) in patients over 65 years of age, undergoing surgical / anesthetic procedures and in patients who will not undergo surgical / anesthetic. The patients will be taken from the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires.

The aim of this interventional study is to optimize the movements and discipline of surgical staff in order to improve the quality of care, the safety of the patient in the surgery and to prevent the postoperative complications in the broad sense and in particular the infection of the surgical site. The intervention will be carried out using tools of new technologies allowing the monitoring of the movements and the sound level associated with techniques of behavior change inspired by those used in the human and social sciences.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of synbiotic in patients after liver transplantation and assess the effect of these agents on postoperative infections, antibiotic use, length of hospital stay, mortality and nutritional status.
