Point-of-care Measurement of the Antifibrinolytic Activity of Tranexamic Acid in Cardiac Surgery
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a widely used antifibrinolytic agent that can reduce postoperative blood loss and packed red blood cell transfusions during cardiac surgery. Previous (in-vivo) studies have measured TXA plasma concentration and associated clinical effect (e.g. blood loss). Patient blood management guidelines recommend the routine use of TXA in …
Norepinephrine Weaning Guided by the Hypotension Prediction Index in Vasoplegic Shock After Cardiac Surgery
In postoperative cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation, the patient may develop a vasoplegic syndrome, characterized by arterial hypotension (mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 65 mmHg); a decrease in vascular resistance and a cardiac output that may be normal or increased, and increased postoperative mortality/ International recommendations recommend the prescription of …
Liquid Biopsy (ctDNA) Guided Treatment in Localized Pancreatic Cancer: Neoadjuvant CTX vs. Upfront Surgery
This study evaluates the clinical prognostic impact (on DFS and OS) of liquid biopsy guided treatment vs. standard of care (physicians choice) in localized pancreatic cancer (despite because of CA 19-9 levels and computed tomography, upfront surgery is recommended by tumor board). ctDNA positive patients will receive neoadjvuant chemotherapy at …
Early Chest Tube Removal After Surgery for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with blebectomy/wedge resection plus pleurodesis is the standard of care for recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) or, in certain instances, after the first episode. The chest tube from surgery is typically kept to suction until post-operative day (POD) 2 to allow for scarring of the lung …
Comparison of Ultrasound-Guided Injection With Median Nerve Decompression Surgery in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The aim of this study is to compare ultrasound-guided perineural injection of the median nerve with classic minimal incision surgical technique for median nerve decompression in patients diagnosed with mild, moderate, and severe carpal tunnel syndrome.
Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Compared to Local Anesthetic Wound Infiltration in Gynecologic Oncology Surgery
This study is being done to see if preoperative transversus abdominis plane (TAP) analgesia will provide similar postoperative pain control, hospital length of stay, and postoperative outcomes compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic in participants undergoing laparotomy for gynecologic indications.
The N-LVA Study: RCT Comparing LVA vs. Sham Surgery in Cancer-related Lymphedema
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) with sham surgery for patients suffering from unilateral cancer-related lymphedema in either the upper or lower extremity. It aims to answer whether LVA is more effective than sham surgery in terms of …
Pain Injection Versus Epidural Anesthesia for Hip Surgery in Pediatric Patients With Cerebral Palsy
Pain management in pediatric patients presents a difficult challenge. Unlike adults, pediatric patients often cannot communicate their pain management needs clearly. This is especially true in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), who often have concomitant developmental delay, intellectual disability and verbal limitations. Current literature indicates pain as a common experience …
Motivating Increases in Physical Activity for Prevention of Weight Regain After Metabolic Bariatric Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a psychological intervention can increase regular physical activity to help prevent weight regain after metabolic bariatric surgery in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the psychological intervention increase physical activity? Does the psychological intervention prevent weight …
High Dose Dexamethasone to Reduce Postoperative Pain After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery Lobectomy /Segmentectomy
The aim is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a high dose arm (1mg/kg) vs a low dose (8mg in total) of steroid (Dexamethasone) given intravenous (IV) after the induction of anesthesia to "High-pain-responders" in patients undergoing VATS lobectomy/segmentectomy. The hypothesis is that a high dose of Dexamethasone …
