Sarcopenia and Neuromuscular Block in Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the effects of sarcopenia on intraoperative neuromuscular block (NMB) in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery. Adult patients scheduled for elective gastrointestinal cancer surgery will be grouped as sarcopenic or non-sarcopenic based on preoperative abdominal CT scans. Neuromuscular block parameters, including onset time, depth, …
Longitudinal Assessment of Biomarkers After Oesophagogastric Cancer Surgery
Oesophagogastric cancer (cancer of the gullet and stomach) is the fifth most common cancer in England and Wales with 16,000 new cases diagnosed every year. Survival rates are poor with only 15% surviving beyond 5 years. There is also increasing research to understand the cancer biology and factors allowing cancers …
Inflammation and Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Cardiac Surgery
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery, marked by an irregular and rapid heart rate, and associated with increased morbidity, longer hospital stays, and higher costs. Its complex pathophysiology involves atrial remodeling, inflammation, and autonomic dysregulation. Surgical trauma and cardiopulmonary bypass trigger an inflammatory response, releasing …
Colorectal Surgery, a New Robotic Platform (Hugo Ras)
A novel robotic platform -Hugo Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS)- has been introduced with several innovations that may prove advantageous for surgeons such as an open console and four interchangeable modular arms. Our study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and potential impact of this platform in the surgical treatment of …
Modulation of the Inflammatory Response in Bariatric Surgery
This study will evaluate how different anesthesia techniques affect inflammation after bariatric surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive one of three approaches: opioid-free anesthesia, intravenous anesthesia with opioids, or inhalational anesthesia with opioids. The study will measure blood levels of inflammation-related substances (such as IL-6, CRP, cortisol, ESR …
Balance in the Strabismic Patient Undergoing Strabismus Surgery
Strabismus is a clinical condition characterized by the failure of the visual axes of the two eyes to align on the stared object. There are many possible causes of strabismus, but it can be divided into two main groups: concomitant strabismus, which is characterized by an almost equal angle of …
Blood Velocity Variation in Right Renal and Superior Mesenteric Arteries During Cardio-pulmonary Bypass
The cardiopulmonary by-pass technique, used in cardiac surgery to obtain a bloodless operating field and an immobile heart, determines important effects on the blood vessel wall, especially when a continuous and non-continuous blood flow is used. In fact, a reduction in Nitric Oxide (NO) production by the endothelium, an increase …
Lumoptik BRIGHTPOINT Reflectometer Device for Lumbar Epidural Placement
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the BrightPoint Epidural device as the first system to use multispectral reflectometry to find the epidural space in lumbar neuraxial procedures requiring epidural needle. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the device a qualitatively effective secondary confirmation of …
In Situ Exploration of Vascular Function in Vasoplegic Shock Following Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The goal of this observational study is to assess in situ vascular function, glycocalyx and microcirculation in postoperative vasoplegic shock following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The main question is to investigate the relationship between NO-dependent vasomotor reserve and the presence of vasoplegic shock following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. …
Assessing the Burden of Perioperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
Background and Significance: In the United States approximately 220,000 patients undergo cardiac surgery per annum. Among potential complications, the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is estimated at 30 - 60 %, and therefore presents the most common adverse event after cardiac surgery. Multiple complications may be associated with AF: Patients …
