20 million patients have surgery in the United States every year, with approximately 1 million of those patients requiring life-saving blood transfusion. Presurgical preparation for transfusion is important to allow for safe and timely transfusion during surgery; however, excessive preparation is unfortunately common, costly, and contributes to blood waste. This …
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic efficacy of thoracal paravertebral block (TPVB) and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block (SPSIPB) in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The main questions it aims to answer are: How will the total perioperative opioid consumption of the patients …
The different reconstructive methods (V-Y flap, lotus flap, gracilis muscle flap, TRAM flap) will be compared with the complications that occurred following the surgery, so as to define which reconstructive methods have led to fewer complications and in which categories of patients.
Remimazolam is primarily metabolized via CES1, and other drugs that are commonly metabolized by CES1 are known to have their pharmacokinetics and clinical effects affected by genetic polymorphisms in CES1. The goal of this observational study is to investigate the impact of the CES1 genotype on the pharmacokinetics, safety, and …
Objective: To improve the success rate of the treatment of migrating foreign bodies in the upper aerodigestive tract. Methods: The medical records of inpatients conforming to the diagnosis of migrating foreign bodies between 2020 and 2025 were reviewed. Data regarding age, gender, time from onset to hospitalization, computed tomography (CT) …
The primary objective is to evaluate the difference in outcomes for mail-in vs. in-home disposal methods for leftover prescription opioids after discharge from surgery.
To evaluate whether continuous SpO₂ monitoring during transfer between the operating room and the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) reduces the incidence of desaturations
In this study, the investigators will evaluate the feasibility of the Wellness Program, including patient recruitment, screening and outcome measures, and feasibility of adapting the intervention with older Black surgical patients who endorse clinically significant symptoms of depression and/or anxiety.
This is an unblinded, parallel group randomized controlled trial to evaluate bright green light as an adjunct therapy after surgery at UPMC Shadyside. The primary outcome measure will be pain intensity with secondary outcome measures including opioid requirements, sleep quality, mood, and overall post-operative recovery. Specific aims/hypotheses for this study …
Various options for reconstruction alternatives to LD are described, as are the possible early and late side effects of LD harvesting. Currently, the choice of whether or not to resort to LD harvesting to repair the defect is based on the experience and preference of the specific working group. The …
