Arthroscopic Versus Open Brostrom for Ankle Instability
Background: Ankle sprains are among the most prevalent lesions in primary care. A substantial number of these ligament lesions will develop ankle instability and require a surgical procedure. The Brostrom-Gould technique is the standard surgical approach for this condition, providing excellent results over the years. Thru the last decades, the …
Pediatric Anesthesia Consent - Visual Aids
Informed consent in pediatric anesthesia is obtained from the caregiver by the anesthesiologist prior to surgery. Studies demonstrate that caregivers often do not fully understand or recall the information (risks and benefits) discussed with them during the consent process. The use of visual aids (pictographs etc.) in the consent process …
Voice Outcome of Glottoplasty, Cricothyroid Approximation, Thyroplasty, and Chondrolaryngoplasty
The purpose of this study is to measure the short- and long-term voice outcome and outcome predictors of glottoplasty, cricothyroid approximation, thyroplasty, and chondrolaryngoplasty using a prospective non-randomized controlled trial and a multidimensional voice assessment protocol. Secondly, a laryngeal magnetic resonance imaging protocol will be developed to measure pre- and …
Nutritional Therapy Enriched With Omega-3 in Patients With Lung Resection
The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of enriched formula with omega-3 in the 30-day incidence infection and inflammatory response following lung resection surgery in lung cancer patients.
Intravenous vs Oral Acetaminophen in Postoperative Hip Fracture Adult Patients
The INTACT-HIP trial study will evaluate feasibility of conducting a randomized, double-blinded controlled trial comparing postoperative treatment with intravenous (IV) acetaminophen versus oral acetaminophen, in older adults undergoing hip fracture surgery. The results of this feasibility trial will be used to inform designing a larger, multi-center, randomized controlled trial to …
Multisensory and Cognitive Interventions in the ICU: Effects on Health and Recovery
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of sensory and cognitive stimulation on physiological, psychological, and functional recovery in adult patients after cardiac surgery who are treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does sensory and/or cognitive stimulation …
Induced Membrane Properties in Children and Adults
Bone reconstruction in critical sized defect (CSD) remains a real challenge in orthopedic surgery in children and adults. The Masquelet technique is an innovative therapeutic technique, which offers a bone reconstruction in two steps, by the formation of an induced membrane (IM) around a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) spacer placed into the …
Low Versus Standard Pressure Pneumoperitoneum on Shoulder Tip Pain
This proposed study is a single-center, double blind, parallel group RCT comparing the use of low (10 mm Hg) versus standard pressure (15 mm Hg) pneumoperitoneum at the time of benign gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. Patients will be randomized to the control group (standard pressure) or the intervention group (low pressure) …
Effect of Fasting on Patient Outcomes After Wide-Awake, Local Anesthesia-only, No Tourniquet (WALANT) Procedures
The purpose of this study is to determine whether eating solid food prior to undergoing a wide awake local-only no tourniquet (WALANT) procedure reduces anxiety in patients or has any effect on outcomes. Patients will be split randomly into two groups and told whether to eat or fast before their …
