Numerous perioperative blood conservation strategies have been developed for limiting the use of blood products. Among them, the processing of shed blood and residual cardiopulmonary bypass circuit volume with autotransfusion device is …
Remote Ischemic Preconditioning for Aute Type A Aortic Dissection Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a technique called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) helps protect organs during emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does RIPC reduce the risk of major complications after surgery, such as …
Decolonization to Reduce After-Surgery Events of Surgical Site Infection
The DECREASE SSI Trial (Decolonization to Reduce After-Surgery Events of Surgical Site Infection) is a two-arm multi-center individual placebo-controlled randomized (2,700 participants randomized 1:1) clinical trial to reduce post-discharge surgical site infection following open colon or small bowel surgery by comparing chlorhexidine bathing plus nasal mupirocin in the 30 days …
Intraoperative Blood Pressure Management and Dexamethasone in Lung Cancer Surgery
Surgery is the front-line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but postoperative complications remains high and patients' long-term outcome is still challenging. In addition to surgery, anesthetic management particularly intraoperative blood pressure management and use of dexamethasone may affect patients' early and long-term outcomes after surgery for NSCLC.
