Colchicine in Patients at Cardiac Risk Undergoing Major Non-Cardiac Surgery
Perioperative myocardial injury and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are common causes of morbidity and mortality in patients at increased cardiovascular risk undergoing non-cardiac surgery. However, research in recent years has yielded limited preventive and therapeutic measures for myocardial injury/MACE. Recent studies in patients with chronic and acute coronary artery …
Quantitative Versus qUAlitative NeuromoniToring of neUroMuscular Block for Non-cardiothoracic Surgery
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of quantitative block monitoring versus less expensive qualitative monitoring treatment effects on the lowest SpO2/FiO2 ratio in the PACU. The results will be incorporated into an enhanced recovery pathway for surgical patients.
Preoperative Optimisation of Modifiable Risk Factors in Surgery of the Pancreas
The goal of this stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial is to investigate whether implementation of a best practice program for preoperative optimisation (prehabilitation program) with a focus on screening, assessment, and intervention of 8 potentially (partly) modifiable risk factors in patients with (suspected) pancreatic cancer will improve outcome. The main questions …
Evaluation of Colonic Perfusion by Indocyanine Green Angiography During Colorectal Surgery
Despite advancements in technology and improved surgical techniques, the occurrence of anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal surgery remains between 4% and 30%. AL is a feared complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality in colorectal surgery, with its causes being multifaceted. Inadequate blood supply to the intestines is believed to …
Comparing Analgesic Regimen Effectiveness and Safety for Surgery for Kids Trial
This trial is being completed to compare two commonly used options to treat pain after discharge from surgery. Participants that undergo tonsil removal, gallbladder removal, and knee scope will be eligible to enroll. Eligible participants will be randomized to prescription of 1 of 2 groups of medications (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs …
Esketamine for Prevention of Depression After Cytoreductive Surgery in Ovarian Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if intraoperative administration of esketamine would prevent or mitigate postoperative depressive symptoms after cytoreductive surgery in ovarian cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether a single low dose of esketamine administered would reduce the postoperative depressive symptoms three …
Gabapentin And Breast Surgery Decision Architecture Randomization Trial (GABS-DART) Protocol
This study aims to assess whether gabapentin should be a standard component of peri-operative pain control in mastectomy patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Driving Pressure During General Anesthesia for Minimally Invasive Abdominal Surgery (GENERATOR)
The purpose of this international multicenter, patient and outcome-assessor blinded randomized controlled trial is to determine whether the application of an individualized high Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) strategy with recruitment maneuvers, aiming at avoiding an increase in the driving pressure during intraoperative ventilation, protects against the development of postoperative …
Acute Preoperative Pain and Chronic Post-surgical Pain in Emergency Surgery
Studies evaluating postoperative pain as a risk factor for CPSP are almost exclusively carried out in the context of scheduled surgery. As a result, the preoperative pain studied as a risk factor for chronicity is essentially a state of pain that has persisted for several weeks or even several months. …
Nitric Oxide for Reduced Intensive Support in Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Cardiac surgery is a procedure that is commonly performed worldwide. Despite these technological advances, cardiac surgery remains a high-risk surgery. Among post-operative complications, acute kidney injury, respiratory failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke as well as cognitive dysfunction are significant causes of mortality in patients undergoing and following cardiac surgery. Inhaled …
