Optimizing Patient-centred Outcomes Using Opioid Minimization Strategies: The OPUS Anesthesia Pilot Trial
Up to 40% of patients experience suboptimal recovery in the days following major surgery, limiting their return to functional independence. Few preventive interventions exist, but intravenous dexmedetomidine and lidocaine administered during general anesthesia represent simple strategies that may significantly impact recovery and other patient-centred outcomes after surgery. The goal of …
Promoting Sleep to Alleviate Pain - Arthroplasty
PROSAP-A is a perioperative randomized, controlled trial with a 12-month follow-up period after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA), aiming to investigate both acute and long-term postoperative effects of preoperative sleep-promotion. Participants with clinically significant insomnia symptoms will be randomized to a brief, hybrid version of cognitive …
Induction Chemoimmunotherapy Combined With Chemoradiotherapy in Esophageal Cancer
Although unprecedented advances have been made in the field of esophageal cancer in recent decades, the prognosis for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains extremely poor, accounting for 30-40% of overall survival at 5 year. In recent years, multimodal treatments have proven to be an appropriate …
COLLISION RELAPSE Trial
The primary objective is to demonstrate superiority of neoadjuvant systemic therapy followed by repeat local treatment as compared to upfront repeat local treatment in patients with at least one locally treatable recurrent CRLM in the absence of extrahepatic disease.
Survival, Quality of Life and Resectability in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
This study aims to assess overall survival, quality of life and resection rates in locally advanced pancreatic cancer
GLS in Difficult CPB Weaning
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether global longitudinal strain (GLS), measured by echocardiography, can predict difficulty separating from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can preoperative GLS measurement predict difficult separation from CPB? Are GLS …
Low-dose Interleukin-2 After Myocardial Infarction to Investigate Effects on Tissue-resident Regulatory T Cells
The primary goals of this study are to compare the differences in tissue-resident Treg gene signature for activation, proliferation, and suppressive function using single-cell/-nucleus RNA sequencing in patients treated with ld-IL-2 compared to control grouped by individual tissue beds from in and around the heart. Additionally, tissue-resident Tregs will be …
Improving Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise Using Target Heart Rate Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of exercise prescriptions in cardiac rehabilitation eligible older adults (60 years or older) with heart disease. The investigators found in a single site pilot trial (insert NCTxxx) that one exercise prescription was better and are now repeating this study …
Intraoperative Paravertebral Block and Postoperative Complications
This study aims to evaluate the clinical association between intraoperative paravertebral block and the reduction of postoperative complications following thoracic surgery.
Prevention of Edema After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft by Customized Pressure-guided Elastic Bandages
The study aimed to assess the efficacy of customized pressure-guided elastic bandages (CPG-EB) in preventing postoperative edema and complications in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) patients. While compression therapy, like compressive stockings, has benefits in preventing edema, concerns about affordability persist. CPG-EB provides optimal sub-bandage pressure, proven effective in venous …
