PENGUIN is a pragmatic multi-center trial investigating the effects of pre-operative mouthwash and perioperative oxygen on the incidences of pneumonia and surgical site infection (SSI) following major abdominal surgery. Patients will be recruited from low and middle income countries and randomly assigned to a trial treatment arms: a) pre-operative chlorhexidine …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of perioperative aspirin continuation on clinical outcomes in patients with a history of coronary stent implantation who are scheduled for abdominal surgery.
Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is a multimodal technique that eliminates intraoperative opioids by combining dexmedetomidine, ketamine, lidocaine, NSAIDs, and regional analgesia. Growing evidence suggests OFA reduces postoperative opioid consumption, opioid-related adverse effects, and may have favorable oncological implications in cancer surgery. This randomized controlled trial compares OFA with opioid-based anesthesia (remifentanil) …
The current practice to avoid incisional hernia, one of the most frequent complications following abdominal surgery, is to minimize core muscle activity in the postoperative phase. However, there is no evidence to support the association of core muscle activity and increased incidence of incisional hernia. On the contrary, it is …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the clinical and cost effectiveness of intrathecal morphine (ITM) in addition to usual care as a postoperative pain relief strategy following major laparoscopic abdominal surgery compared with current usual care. The main questions it aims to answer are: An enhanced analgesic …
The daily changing of postoperative dressings is a widespread practice, often continuing until the 5th-7th day after surgery. In theory, dressings aim to reduce the risk of superficial surgical site infections (SSIs). However, several studies have suggested that early removal of the dressing does not significantly impact the rate of …
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of a new care strategy, including earlier and more intensive mobilization and individually adapted breathing exercises, regarding length of stay, recovery, complications and which factors predict interventions early in the postoperative course after various abdominal surgical procedures.
A postoperative pulmonary complication (PPC) is the most common serious complication after Abdominal surgery under GA which lead to longer hospital stays and have deleterious outcomes on lung volumes, mucociliary clearance, accumulation of mucus, saliva and cough reflex. Chest physiotherapy for airway clearance which includes postural drainage, chest percussion, vibrations, …
The aim of the planned study is the development of surgical assistance functions on the basis of clinical routine data and the evaluation of the technical feasibility of an intraoperative demonstration and visualization of such assistance functions in visceral surgery. Furthermore, this trial aims to provide preliminary data on the …
Recent research suggests a significant link between gut microbiota and anastomotic leakage (AL) in colorectal surgery. Patients who develop AL have a higher abundance of bacteria from the Lachnospiraceae family and lower microbial diversity. Considering the bibliographic data, our main interest is to analyze the microbial population of patients in …
