Active clinical trials for "Intraoperative Complications"

This randomized clinical trial studies epidural anesthesia within an enhanced recovery pathway (ERP) in reducing pain in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. An epidural analgesia (pain relief) is a small tube placed in the lower back that numbs the nerves and stops the feeling of pain. It stays in place for several days after surgery and may be helpful for pain control in patients with gynecologic cancer after surgery. ERP is a set of specific steps used before, during, and after surgery by health care providers to care for patients after surgery. ERPs include patient education, not using laxatives before surgery, increasing activity after surgery, and scheduled use of medications for pain and nausea. Giving epidural anesthesia as part of an ERP may improve pain control in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery.

The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of depth of neuromuscular block (NMB) on global and regional (dependent versus nondependent) respiratory mechanics during laparoscopic surgery. Furthermore, we will investigate if the level of NMB influences intraoperative hemodynamic and cerebral oxygenation.

This study aims to compare the volume management methods performed by using conventional method and PVI monitoring in intraoperative fluid treatment during bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and total hysterectomy operation.

Surgery induced sterile inflammation leaves behind a biomolecular footprint measurable by various pro-inflammatory markers e.g. IL-6, CD(Cluster of differentiation)19B, HsCRP(High-sensitivity CRP) etc. Music is a non-pharmacological means in attenuating this inflammatory pathway thereby improving Health related quality of life measurable by improved postoperative convalescence. Correct timing of music application is a lacuna in the knowledge. This research aims at evaluating the effect of preoperative music on sterile inflammation induced by index Laparoscopic Surgery (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy) and its proposed beneficial effects on patient reported outcomes. A total of 50 patients divided into 2 groups (test and control) will be evaluated in this triple blind randomized controlled study aiming at evaluating the biomolecular signatures of sterile inflammatory response and its correlation with improved postoperative convalescence. All the patients will be followed up for a period of 1 month postoperatively to assess for overall improvement in health related quality of life. Collected data will be analysed using updated SPSS software and a p value of less than 0.05 will be taken as statistically significant in support of the measured indices.

This prospective nonrandomized multicenter phase I study, will evaluate the feasibility of performing uterine transposition before chemoradiation for rectal cancer and uterine reimplantation after the treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Transversus Abdominis Plane Block on hemodynamic variables, anaesthetic and analgesic requirement, and quality of recovery in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy

For successful intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), adequate reversal of neuromuscular blocking agent is a prerequisite in thyroid surgery with . The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of neostigmine just after tracheal intubation on the IONM in thyroid surgery.

To gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of intraoperative hypocapnia, in particular the associations of intraoperative hypocapnia with patient demographics, ventilator characteristics, and perioperative complications we will perform an individual patient-level meta-analysis of two recent randomized clinical trials of intraoperative ventilation, the 'PROtective Ventilation using High versus LOw PEEP trial' (PROVHILO), and the 'Protective intraoperative ventilation with higher versus lower levels of positive end-expiratory pressure in obese patients trial' (PROBESE).

The purpose of this study is to see if the surgical safety checklist is associated with a reduction in perioperative complications for children undergoing surgery in Ontario, Canada.

Perioperative complications, especially intraoperative adverse events (iAEs), carry significant potential for long-term sequelae in a patient's postoperative course. Without consistent and homogenous reporting, these events represent a substantial gap in contemporary surgical literature and clinical practice. By definition, an iAE is any unplanned incident related to a surgical intervention occurring between skin incision and skin closure. Despite the availability of multiple intraoperative classification systems, the reporting of intraoperative adverse events remains exceedingly rare. Further, while most studies report postoperative adverse events, only a fraction of surgical publications report intraoperative complications as outcomes of interest. Many reasons could be related to this dearth in iAE reporting, ranging from a lack of clear iAE definitions to a fear of litigation. Broadly speaking, iAEs are negative outcomes, which, on the whole, epitomize a paradoxically well-documented bias in the literature. The investigators performed an umbrella review and meta-analysis of prior systematic reviews of complication reporting in a number of key urologic surgical domains. The investigators have since worked with academic surgeons to produce a set of iAE reporting guidelines known as the Intraoperative Complication Assessment and Reporting with Universal Standards (ICARUS) Guidelines. These reporting criteria were developed using the reporting guidelines using the framework outlined by the EQUATOR Network (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research; www.equator-network.org/). As part of a prospective effort to evaluate the utility of these new guidelines, the investigators are performing a study of surgeons, anesthesiologists,s and nurses perceptions regarding iAE reporting and the global applicability of the new iAE reporting guidelines. In part one of this study, a series of survey questions will be used to better elucidate surgeon perceptions underlying the contemporary deficit in iAE reporting. In part two of this study, a set of assessments to representatives within various surgical specialties to assess the global applicability of the newly developed iAE reporting guidelines.
