Frequency and Severity of Respiratory Acidosis During One-lung Ventilation, a Retrospective Pilot Study to Compare Clinician Settings and Those Proposed by the VentilO Application
One-lung ventilation is a mechanical ventilation method frequently used during several thoracic surgeries. One-lung ventilation requires the use of protective ventilation to limit ventilator-induced injury and reduce postoperative respiratory complications. Protective ventilation during one-lung ventilation is specific since tidal volumes are applied by definition to one lung, and it is …

This will be a prospective, obesity-registry based, single-blind randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Specific inclusion criteria are all patients eligible to undergo a Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) based on the current National Institute of Health (NIH) patient selection guidelines. Patients should be able to give consent, be …
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) and Bipolar Electrocautery (BE) During Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (ALND)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the implementation of existing neurosurgical techniques of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and the replacement of monopolar electrocautery with bipolar electrocautery (BE), during ALND, will improve the early identification of nerves that have been implicated in the cause of neuropathically-mediated post-surgical pain syndrome …
MedlyPeds Feasibility Study
SickKids and UHN have developed MedlyPeds which is a smart phone application designed to remotely monitor patients with heart disease. This is a feasibility study which will enroll up to 30 patients with different types of heart disease to see which patient types may benefit the most from MedlyPeds if …
Evaluating Hemidiaphragmatic Paralysis With Prolonged Neural Blockade From an Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis in patients receiving interscalene brachial plexus nerve block with prolonged neural blockade. English speaking American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1-3 patients ages 18-80 receiving prolonged interscalene nerve block will be randomized into 3 groups: first group receiving a …
Use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Device, Reletex Reliefband, With Current ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) Protocol to Further Decrease Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in the Bariatric Surgical Patient Within the First 24 Hours Postoperatively.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Reletex Reliefband device when used in conjunction with our current treatments will further decrease postoperative nausea and vomiting. The Investigators want to test how well it works, specifically in bariatric surgery patients that are at a higher risk for …
Gastric US in ICU Patient
This is a case series study using gastric ultrasound in critically ill patients to quantify gastric residual volumes to compare the efficacy of different NPO protocols.
Arthroscopic Versus Open Brostrom for Ankle Instability
Background: Ankle sprains are among the most prevalent lesions in primary care. A substantial number of these ligament lesions will develop ankle instability and require a surgical procedure. The Brostrom-Gould technique is the standard surgical approach for this condition, providing excellent results over the years. Thru the last decades, the …
