Spinal Anesthesia For Enhanced Recovery After Liver Surgery
This project proposes to compare epidural versus spinal anesthesia in patients having liver resection surgery. The investigators hypothesize that spinal anesthesia will result in improved blood pressure control postoperatively and reduce the amount of intravenous fluids required after surgery. Spinal anesthesia is expected to provide the same pain control benefits …
Point-of-care Gastric Ultrasound for Fracture Surgery
Although there are fasting guidelines offered by the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) for managing preoperative patient assessment, some patients may need to be more cautious about the risk of aspiration. Since ultrasound has been a part of perioperative anesthesiology practice, it is simple to assess gastric content preoperatively with …
Assessment of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery and Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit
The objective of this study is to investigate the incidence of death and early postoperative complications, identify potential risk factors, and examine the demographic characteristics of patients and epidemiology of cardiovascular procedures. Our hypothesis is that gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of patients who undergo cardiac surgery …
Exercise and Cognitive (Brain) Function in Breast Cancer Patients Getting Chemotherapy After Breast Surgery
This study will primarily identify longitudinal associations between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and cognitive function pre- (baseline) to post-chemotherapy (~3 months). This will be a prospective study of 50 BCS. We hypothesize that breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy who have higher levels of CRF at baseline will have significantly improved measures …
Delirium and Neuropsychological Recovery Among Emergency General Surgery Survivors
This study will evaluate the usefulness of the Urgent and Emergency Surgery (UES) Delirium Recovery Model. It is hypothesized that the cognitive, physical and psychological recovery of older UES delirium survivors will be improved through the use of the DANE Recovery Model. Participants can expect to be on the study …
IV Acetaminophen After Cardiac Surgery - PILOT
Double blind double dummy of Intravenous Acetaminophen and oral acetaminophen placebo versus IV placebo versus oral acetaminophen in patients following cardiac surgery. The primary endpoint is development of Delirium during the post-operative stay.
Home to Stay Mobile App for Colorectal Surgery
Background: Colorectal surgery includes surgery for colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and other benign diseases such as diverticulitis. In Canada, approximately 21,000 colorectal surgeries are performed each year. Patients undergoing colorectal surgery face high rates of unplanned hospital visits including readmission to hospital and Emergency Room (ER) visits. These unplanned …
Chronic Subdural Hematoma Treatment With Embolization Versus Surgery Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to test in moderately symptomatic chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) patients if middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) can be used as an alternative to conventional open surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Compared to open conventional surgery, does MMAE reduce the …
Prolonged Chest Tube Treatment to Reduce Rates of Atrial Fibrillation Following Cardiac Surgery
Evacuation of pericardial blood by posterior pericardiotomy or use of a posterior pericardial chest tube lowers postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) rates after cardiac surgery by 45-68%. Although it cannot be generalized due to trial undersizing, posterior pericardial chest tube treatment may be a superior alternative to pericardiotomy, given its low …
Prehabilitation to Improve Heart Rate Variability (PRIME)
Cancer patients require chronic management and care. For those individuals living with cancer, a comprehensive approach that acknowledges the interdisciplinary nature of their condition can help guide appropriate care strategies and support their overall well-being. Approximately 45% of patients diagnosed with cancer undergo surgery to remove their tumor. Despite the …
