Respiratory Exercise Diary in Major Abdominal Surgery
Postoperative pulmonary complications are common and lead to increased morbidity and mortality in patients. These complications are observed especially after major surgical interventions. Breathing exercises performed with or without the use of a device are extremely important in preventing postoperative pulmonary complications. Breathing exercises that increase total lung capacity by …
Music Interventions During Wide-Awake Hand Surgery
The purpose of this study is to examine if patients have a lower anxiety level during wide awake hand surgery while listening to their choice of music vs standardized relaxation music. Patients who are planning to undergo wide awake (local anesthetic only hand surgery) and agree to participate will be …
Acupuncture and Integrative Care in Gynecological Surgery
Patients undergoing surgical procedures for gynecological cancer are frequently challenged by intense anxiety prior to surgery, reflecting the accompanying uncertainty regarding the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of their illness.The purpose of the proposed study is to explore the impact of complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) treatments (including acupuncture) on anxiety, …
ESP Block in MIS Lumbar Spine Surgery
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial of patients undergoing minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. This study will randomize patients into one of two groups: erector spinae plane (ESP) block and no ESP block.
Propofol vs Sevo for Paediatric Tumor Surgery
Background Retrospective studies and meta-analyses have shown a reduction in 5-year survival following inhalational based compared to propofol based total intravenous (TIVA) anaesthesia for cancer surgery. To date there have been no prospective trials published which evaluate the effect of anaesthetic technique on circulating tumour cells (CTC), oxidative stress, and …
Pharmacological and Behavioral Treatment After Bariatric Surgery
This study will compare the effectiveness of behavioral and pharmacologic treatment, alone and combined, for improvements in weight loss, cardiovascular risk factors, and psychosocial functioning following metabolic and bariatric surgery.
Preoperative Smoking Cessation in Patients Undergoing Surgery
Background: At present, effectively implementing smoking cessation programs in the health care system constitutes a major challenge. A unique opportunity to initiate smoking cessation focuses on smokers scheduled for surgery. These patients are not only highly motivated to quit smoking but also likely to benefit from a reduction in postoperative …
Hyperinflation Respiratory Therapies in Cardiac Surgery Patients
The purpose of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to evaluate three different types of hyperinflation respiratory therapies, Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing (IPPB), Intermittent positive end expiratory pressure (EzPAP), Metaneb. Investigators will examine which hyperinflation therapy provides better lung expansion and may improve lung recovery after surgery.
Predicting Cerebrovascular Adverse Events Post Cardiac Surgery
The aims of this study are: i) to assess cerebral autoregulation and autonomic control within the different phases of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass; ii) to compare cerebral autoregulation measures derived via cerebral blood flow velocity estimated by transcranial Doppler device with simpler measurements derived from near infrared spectroscopy; iii) …
Trigger Point Injections in Anterior Cervical Surgery
To achieve appropriate exposure for an anterior neck surgery (for example an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion or ACDF), patients are positioned supine with their neck extended. Due to being in this position, patients frequently complain of posterior neck stiffness and pain postoperatively in addition to the anterior incisional pain. …
