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 …
Post Operative Cognitive Dysfunction After Breast Surgery
Aim of this trial is to define if Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction, detected analyzing changes between pre-operative and post-operative Neurocognitive Test, and Postoperative Delirium, relate to concentration of effector's site concentration of propofol and remifentanil TCI and to the common intraoperative neuromonitoring values as well as to Pupillometry values (in particular …
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) …
Endotypic Traits and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Surgery
This study will examine factors associated with outcomes after soft palate surgery and medications (acetazolamide, eszopiclone) that may treat other potential causes of obstructive sleep apnea (loop gain, arousal threshold).
Effect of Chitodex Gel in Tympanoplasty Surgery
The general purpose of this study is to compare Chitosan-dextran (Chitodex) gel versus current standard of care, Gelfoam, as a middle ear (ME) and external auditory canal (EAC) packing agent as part of tympanoplasty, ossiculoplasty and mastoidectomy procedures.
Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Surgery for Deep Endometriosis
The objective of this study is to examine whether robot-assisted laparoscopy is superior compared to conventional laparoscopy as regards to patient outcome.
Surgery or Chemoradiotherapy for Cervical Esophageal Cancer
To compare surgery with definitive chemoradiotherapy for patients with resectable cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Opioid-free Anaesthesia in Breast Cancer Surgery
Background Various analgesic modalities are adopted for perioperative analgesia in breast cancer surgeries. Opioid-free and opioid-sparing techniques are gaining popularity due to the lack of opioid-dependent undesirable effects, including respiratory depression, urinary retention, nausea and vomiting, constipation, itching, opioid-induced hyperalgesia, tolerance, addiction, and immune system disorders. The goal of this …
Platelet and Autotransfusion Device in Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgery is a bleeding-risk surgery and frequently requires blood transfusion. Intraoperative autotransfusion devices are used to aspirate, process and retransfuse patients' blood. These devices are effective in recovering red blood cells and limiting the need for transfusion of packed red blood cells. Some devices, such as I-SEP's SAME®, can …
Intratumoral Lidocaine Injection Before Oropharyngeal Cancer Surgery
Based on evidence that the local anesthetic lidocaine may have anticancer effects, this study will assess the safety and efficacy of intratumoral lidocaine injection at the time of direct laryngoscopy prior to TransOral Robotic Surgery (TORS) and neck dissection for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). The primary objective of the …
