Active clinical trials for "Postoperative Complications"

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that continuous wireless monitoring on the postsurgical ward will improve patient outcome, measured as disability-free survival at three months after surgery. Further, the investigators hypothesize that this tight control regimen decreases length of hospital stay and treatment costs in patients with complications.

A high percentage of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery will develop a postoperative complication. Our hypothesis is that by observing postoperative patients with continuous wireless monitoring, it is possible to detect the correlation between deviating vital parameters and subsequent postoperative complications. A prospective observational study will take place on general surgical wards with the enrolment of 500 patients in two different hospitals. Physiological parameters will be recorded for 96 hours postoperative. Data is collected preoperative, peroperative and postoperative in up to 6 months for data analyzing.

The aim of us is to define the incidence of postoperative complications and recovery time in view of two anesthesia procedures. During the period between 01.01.2016 and 01.01.2017, totally 583 patients were included in the study, who had oral and maxillofacial surgeries. Anesthesia types were determined as total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalation anesthesia (IA). Postoperative complications and recovery period were determined as tachycardia, bradycardia, hypertension, hypotension, recovery time, additional analgesia, nausea-vomiting. Both anesthesia procedures were compared in terms of these postoperative complications and recovery time.

The necessity of orthopedic implant removal is under intense discussion and even if it is performed as an elective procedure, the risk of complications is present. Aim of the study is to identify parameters responsible for an increased risk of early post-operative complications after elective aseptic orthopedic implant removal.

The investigators will investigate the impact of different biometric parameters (Body mass index, sarcopenia, lean muscle mass, hand-grip strength, gait speed, fat composition) on the postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing liver resections. Major and minor liver resections will be considered as well as open and minimally invasive techniques. Benign and malignant indications will be included. Patients characteristics and perioperative variables will be considered for analysis. Short-term outcomes will be evaluated focusing on 90-days morbidity and mortality and readmission rate.

Cataract surgery is the current standard of management for cataract patients, which is typically succeeded by a postoperative follow-up schedule. Here, the investigators established and validated an artificial intelligence system to achieve automatic management of postoperative patients based on analyses of visual acuity, intraocular pressure and slit-lamp images. The management strategy can also change according to postoperative time.

Observational study in which pulse transit time (PTT) as a method and the device to register this data is compared with arterial blood pressure. The population is composed of pediatric and adult patients in anesthesia or intensive care in need of arterial blood pressure monitoring.

Point-of-care gastric ultrasound will be used to measure stomach contents postoperative in patients who underwent colorectal surgery. Stomach volume and status (empty or full) will be compared retrospectively to the standard clinical criteria for diet advancement to determine if stomach volume via ultrasound is associated with successful diet advancement, nausea/vomiting, nasogastric tube replacement, length of stay, and other clinical outcomes. Clinicians performing clinical care will be blinded to the ultrasound exam results.

The occurrence of post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) can critically impact outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Although diagnosing a PPAP can be challenging, its identification appears crucial as it can trigger additional morbidity. However, due to the early onset in the perioperative period, the actual spectrum of its early phases has not been systematically explored yet. For this reason, the present study will compare some early biochemical evidence of pancreatic stump damage to morphological changes evident at postoperative imaging. The postoperative evaluation of serum and/or urine pancreatic enzymes and the radiologic assessment are included in everyday clinical practice. However, the timing and the clinical relevance of such findings mostly rely on the single-institution experience. This study aims to characterize PPAP by investigating its early radiologic, biochemical, and clinical spectrum of either local or systemic changes associated.

The study aims to investigate changes in lung function and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide after open and minimally invasive abdominal surgery and whether such changes can explain hypoxia after surgery. Inclusion: Patients undergoing surgery for abdominal surgery Exclusion: Dementia or cognitive impairment that makes it impossible to participate in studies. Investigation: The day before surgery and the day after surgery Primary outcome measures: Pulmonary function test with dynamic spirometry (Vital capacity, FEV1) and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide. PaO2, PaCO2 and oxygen saturation (blood gas)
