the purpose of the study is to investigate whether a combined anesthetic targets bundle, known as the NeuroFirst strategy, focused on neurological protection, can reduce the incidence of silent brain infarction (SBI) and perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Additionally, the trial will assess the safety of …
The perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is evidence-based in orthopedic surgery. While its duration ranges from a single dose to three doses throughout the world, the choice of the prophylactic agents is undisputed. Worldwide, the surgeons use 1st or 2nd-generation cephalosporins (or vancomycin in some cases). However, there are particular clinical situation …
This trial is being completed to compare two commonly used options to treat pain after surgery. Participants that undergo gallbladder removal, hernia repair, and breast lump removal will be eligible to enroll. Eligible participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 groups of medications (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) plus acetaminophen …
The purpose of this observational, multi-center prospective, post-market registry is to confirm real-world device safety and performance, to ensure the continued acceptability of identified risks, and detect emerging risks.
The indication of antibiotic prophylaxis in burn patients remains highly controversial and hasn't reached a consensus. The objective of antibiotic prophylaxis would be to reduce the risk of post-operative local and systemic infections. Burn surgery is associated with a high risk of bacteremia and postoperative infections and sepsis. However, antibiotic …
Frailty among patients undergoing surgery is strongly associated with an elevated risk of adverse perioperative outcomes, heightened incidence of postoperative complications, increased mortality rates, and prolonged hospital length of stay. Our focus centers on investigating the frailty index in the context of complications experienced by patients undergoing oncologic gynecology surgery. …
This study aims to identify genetic causes of adverse events after cardiac surgery, such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, renal dysfunction and heart failure. Patients undergoing heart surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Texas Heart Institute are eligible to participate.
In this prospective study the investigators aim to identify preoperative predictors of improvement of metabolic health and weight loss after bariatric surgery focusing on inflammation, insulin sensitivity (in a subgroup of patients), glucoregulatory determinants, psychological traits, feeding behavior characteristics and cardiorespiratory fitness
The study is enrolling adults who are scheduled for either inpatient or outpatient elective surgical procedures at The University of Chicago. At pre-operative visits, patients will be consented and a blood sample will be obtained for preemptive genotyping across a panel of actionable germline variants predicting drug response or toxicity …
Avoiding Risks of Thrombosis and bleeding in Surgery (ARTS) trial is a pragmatic, international, multicenter, randomized controlled open label trial comparing a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) - oral factor Xa inhibitor apixaban - to no anticoagulant among 5,436 patients undergoing abdominal or pelvic surgery at sufficiently similar (and not high) …
