The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether the use of next generation rib orthosis belts (such as the RibFx) can improve patient outcomes following traumatic rib fractures within our population, whether it be by improving pain control, decreased respiratory complications, or increased patient
Intravenous access in the emergency department (ED) patient is essential for medication delivery, IV fluid resuscitation, rapid serum laboratory diagnostics, and administration of IV contrast for CT scans. Some patients, such as those with obesity, IV drug abuse, chronic illnesses, or vascular
Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic, relapsing and remitting, inflammatory disorder of the GI tract. The mainstay of medical therapy is comprised of 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators such as mercaptopurine and MTX, and biologics such as infliximab and
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled study comparing post-operative pain scores, morphine sulfate equivalence consumption values, and adverse events in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty with general anesthesia. Group1 will receive a pre-operative, ultrasound guided indwelling
Aim of the work: to evaluate the usefulness of ultrasound-guided percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy PCT in obese patients.
Study objectives:
Primary: determine the duration of the procedure in both groups.
Secondary: determine the incidence of complications in both groups.
Setting of the study:
After written informed consent was obtained from all patients, 50 adult patients were enrolled in the study.
The patients met the following inclusion criteria: (1) body mass index (BMI, weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in metres) > 25 kg/m2; (2) American Society of Anesthesiology
Placement of a peripheral venous catheter (PVC) is the most common invasive procedure in anaesthesia and perhaps even in the field of medicine as a whole. This procedure may be challenging in the obese patient - even for the most experienced healthcare professionals.
In a study, PVC placement was
Peripheral venous cannulation is among the most common procedures performed in clinical settings and is a prerequisite for fluid resuscitation, administration of medications, and diagnostic testing [1,2]. In the United States, approximately 300 million peripheral intravenous catheters (PIV) are
Acute dyspnea (shortness of breath) is a common complaint for patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED). The chest radiograph (CXR) has been the mainstay in evaluating patients with shortness of breath and often provides the timely diagnosis of pneumonia, pneumothorax, pulmonary edema,
The number of obese people around the world has been increasing rapidly. It has been estimated that over 10% of the world's adult population are obese. Obesity is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease, type II diabetes, stroke, osteoarthritis, and certain types of cancer. These
Inability to secure the airway remains the most frequent cause of anesthesia-related mishaps.Difficult airway management continues to be the major challenge in anesthesia as it is responsible for a third of anesthesia-related claims and is the single largest class of closed claim injury suits.
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Recent two-center results (1) support a beneficial effect of combined high-frequency oscillation (HFO), recruitment maneuvers (RMs) and tracheal gas insufflation (TGI) on the survival of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The addition of TGI to
Determination of the insertion technique
The insertion technique (with anatomical landmarks or ultrasound-guided) will be determined by randomization. To that aim, we will use a software available on an intranet server and available from all ICUs involved in the study.
All central venous catheters
