After a pilot study regarding opioid use for patient after THR, the sample size for either treatment or control arm is calculated to be 35 patients per group to achieve adequate power to detect such a difference.
Sealed opaque envelopes with allocation inside is prepared forehand and is subsequently
Study subjects:
We conducted a prospective comparative study to investigate 50 patients receiving an ERAS pathway incorporated with pre-operative physical therapy and education for MIS-THA and 25 patients receiving conventional MIS-THA. We included the patients with advanced osteonecrosis of femoral
Patients will be divided into two groups. Control group (Group C, n: 35) and Acupuncture group (Group A, n: 35). Inclusion criteria: willing to participate in the study, being in the 18-65 age range, a saphenous vein diameter greater than 5.5 mm and a small saphenous vein diameter of less than 4 mm
PPH occurs in approximately 1-5% of deliveries in the United States and accounts for 20-25% of maternal deaths worldwide. PPH is difficult to predict, but classically, risk factors for PPH- uterine atony, abruption, retained tissue, lacerations, infection, obesity, preeclampsia, magnesium
This will be a double-blind, 3-arm, randomized controlled trial with a treatment 1: treatment 2: control allocation ratio of 1:1:1. Primary outcomes of interest are opioid requirements and pain scores over initial 72 hours of the postoperative period. Opioid requirements will be assessed by
Mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) is increasingly recognized as a cause of mesenteric ischemia. it must be distinguished from arterial and non occlusive types of ischemia, it accounts for 5% to 15% of all cases of mesenteric ischemia. Patients may have evocative signs,such as abdominal pain that is
Spinal anesthesia has many advantages such as reducing the metabolic stress response to surgery, reduction in blood loss, decrease in the incidence of venous thromboembolism, reduction in pulmonary compromise (particularly in patients with advanced pulmonary disease),return of bowel function
Research design This study is a double blind randomized clinical trial to determine differences in wave amplitude P50 and N95 on pattern ERG examination, visual field defects (LP) with Humphrey HFA (Humphrey Field Analyzer) II-i 750, 24-2 threshold and ganglion cell thickness with OCT CirrusTM
Cesarean delivery is the most common surgery performed in the United States. Despite this fact, there is a paucity of literature looking into the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for patients undergoing this type of surgery. ERAS protocols have shown to improve recovery from
Anemia and transfusion are independent predictors of morbidity and mortality in the cardiac surgical patient population. Even so, active preoperative anemia management is not currently the standard of care at our institution. Cost associated with erythrocyte transfusions at University of Texas
SpecificAims Cesarean section (C/S) is usually performed under spinal anesthesia with preservative free morphine added for pain relief, but currently the investigators have a severe shortage of this formulation of morphine. Hydromorphone is a narcotic which has been used in spinals for acute
Cesarean section (CS) delivery is one of the most frequent surgical procedures to be performed worldwide and rates of CS delivery are increasing. In the late 80's, the rate of caesarean deliveries was 10-13 % in most of the big hospitals in Israel, and today it reaches up to 20-25% of all
Steroids have been used to reduce inflammation and tissue damage in a variety of conditions, have potent immunomodulatory effects, and are a mainstay in the treatment of acute allograft rejection. Dexamethasone has been shown to be a safe and effective anti-emetic therapy for patients undergoing
