6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an increase in the frequency of formula change in patients with pyloric sctenosis prior to being correctly diagnosed.
Pyloric stenosis is a condition that develops in infants and that leads to an obstruction of the channel going out of the stomach. This study is being performed to determine if there is an advantage to the laparoscopic approach or the open approach for the surgical correction of the enlarged pylorus.
A prospective study that will assess the effect of laparoscopy on tissue oxygenation in the patients undergoing a laparoscopic pyloromyotomy at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Tissue oxygenation will be assessed non-invasively using near infrared spectroscopy, a device that is commonly used in our operating rooms to assess cerebral and tissue oxygenation.
The purpose of this study is to compare two different ways of placing breathing tubes for surgery. Both ways are used currently to place breathing tubes and are safe and effective. This study seeks to determine if one way is better than the other for infants with pyloric stenosis.
This is a retrospective chart review. The objective of the current study is to determine the analgesic efficacy and side effect profile of intravenous acetaminophen when administered to infants undergoing pyloromyotomy. In addition, recovery characteristics of infants who were administered intravenous acetaminophen will be compared to infants who did not receive intravenous acetaminophen to determine if there were any appreciable differences with regard to postoperative discomfort, PACU time, time to oral feeds and hospital discharge.
The objective of this study is to scientifically evaluate the ability to discharge patients based on feeding schedule comparing ad lib feeds to our current scheduled regimen. The hypothesis is that patients may be able to be discharged sooner with ad lib feeds.
