Minimal Sedation During Knee Replacement Surgery
This study will test the use of active noise cancelling headphones with music or a movie during knee replacement surgery. Feedback from the surgical team and from patients regarding the headset system will be gathered to see if using it can reduce the amount of sedation needed during knee replacement …
Intrapleural Ropivacaine Infusion in Cardiac Surgery
For many patients, a primary source of postoperative pain following cardiac surgery is the presence of pleural drains, which the surgeon places at the end of the operation and maintains for 1 to 3 days. One promising method of pain management after cardiac surgery is interpleural analgesia, particularly when traditional …
Conjunctival Transpositional Surgery for Primary Pterygium
This prospective single-arm interventional study evaluates the recurrence rate and functional outcomes following conjunctival transpositional pterygium surgery without bare sclera formation. The technique involves mobilization and transposition of the pterygium tissue while preserving Tenon's layer and avoiding adjunctive therapies.
Oral Surgery Virtual Reality Glasses Study
The goal of this randomized trial is to investigate if using virtual reality (VR) glasses for patients who require non-emergent oral surgery procedures under intravenous (IV) sedation improves their overall experience compared to using standard of care safety glasses. This study has two primary objectives. To evaluate if VR glasses …
Natriuresis-guided Depletion After Cardiac Surgery
Fluid overload (FO) is a common complication after cardiac surgery, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Loop diuretics, especially furosemide, are routinely used to manage FO, but their use is often empirical. Recent data suggest that natriuresis-guided furosemide titration using point-of-care urinary sodium sensors (LAQUAtwin NA-11, Horiba) may improve the …
SPECT/CT Bone Scan Quantification Surgery
The hypothesis of our study is that SPECT/CT bone scan fixation quantified by SUVMAX on a CZT solid state camera preoperatively would identify good responders to lumbar arthrodesis surgery.
Nalbuphine in ARDS Patients After Surgery
Critically ill patients need reasonable and moderate analgesic and sedative treatment to eliminate or reduce pain, anxiety and restlessness, improve patient comfort and cooperation, reduce patients' stress response, protect organ function and optimize prognosis. As a semi-synthetic opioid receptor agonist-antagonist, nalbuphine can bind to μ, κand δ receptors, has partial …
Autofluorescence in Surgery for Primary Hyperparathyroidism
The study aims to test if autofluorescence imaging (AF) is a useful surgical aid during parathyroidectomy (PTX) for primary hyperthyroidism (PHPT).
Chemotherapy Before Surgery and Radiation Therapy or Surgery and Radiation Therapy Alone in Treating Patients With Nasal and Paranasal Sinus Cancer That Can Be Removed by Surgery
This randomized phase II trial studies how well chemotherapy before surgery and radiation therapy works compared to surgery and radiation therapy alone in treating patients with nasal and paranasal sinus cancer that can be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, cisplatin, and carboplatin work in different …
Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy is the most commonly performed bariatric procedures. Robotic surgery seems to add more precision to the surgical interventions. However, robotic bariatric procedures appear to be burdened by longer operative time. Aim of the investigators is to prospectively and randomly submit patients suffering from obesity to robotic or laparoscopic …
