Dexamethasone, Olanzapine, Hemodynamics, and Ventilation in Cardiac Surgery
Open heart surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or aortic valve replacement (AVR) is associated with a significant risk of mortality. This study is a randomized clinical trial with the purpose of investigating four different interventions on the primary endpoint 'days alive and outside of hospital within 90 days'. …
Clinical Trial of Approaches to Prostate Cancer Surgery
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare cancer control and health-related quality of life following pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy versus standard radical prostatectomy. The investigators hypothesize that pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy will have similar cancer control (primary outcome) and sexual function outcomes; and significantly better urinary function, penile …
Veterans Affairs Lung Cancer Surgery Or Stereotactic Radiotherapy
Patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer have been historically treated with surgery whenever they are fit for an operation. However, an alternative treatment known as stereotactic radiotherapy now appears to offer an equally effective alternative. Doctors believe both are good treatments and are therefore conducting this study to …
Surgery Versus Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer
This prospective, open randomized phase III surgical trial seeks to study whether radical prostatectomy (with or without the combination of external radiation) improves prostate-cancer specific survival in comparison with primary radiation treatment and hormonal treatment among patients diagnosed with locally advanced (T3) prostate cancer. Untreated or conservatively treated locally advanced …
Treatment in Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm: Surgery vs Surveillance
The ascending aorta conducts blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The ascending aorta can become enlarged, and the risk of tearing and rupturing becomes higher with larger aorta. When the ascending aorta tears or ruptures, the risk dying is high even if surgery is done as …
Effect of Pre-Surgery Constipation Podcast: A RCT
In this study, the investigators will evaluate the effect of a podcast on constipation on the number of patients with constipation. It is hypothesised that the podcast on constipation, will prevent constipation in the period leading up to and after surgery. This is a randomised controlled trial. The population of …
Bioimpedance Analysis in Perioperative Assessment in Thoracic Surgery
The assessment of surgical and postoperative risks in thoracic surgery is a field of significant interest because the surgical procedure causes substantial changes in the body's homeostasis. The postoperative course is characterized by considerable clinical variability compared to the preoperative classification, which highlights more homogeneous data among various patient groups. …
Transfusion Requirements in Younger Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
TRICS-IV is an international, multi-centre, open-label randomized controlled trial of two commonly used transfusion strategies in moderate to high risk patients who are 65 years of age or younger undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass, using a superiority trial design.
Function Integrity of Neck Anatomy in Thyroid Surgery
Recent trends in the management of patients with low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma who have a nonsuspicious or cytologically benign contralateral nodule call into question the need for routine total thyroidectomy. Although the lobectomy for the unilateral thyroid cancer with contralateral benign nodules is sufficient treatment, some of the patients might …
Efficacy of Prothrombin Complex Concentrate Reducing Perioperative Blood Loss in Cardiac Surgery
This study is a non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial, based on the hypothesis that 4-factor PCC is not inferior to FFP in reducing perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. 816 subjects will be randomly divided into 2 groups (group PCC and group FFP), with 408 cases …
