6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Prospective, randomized, single-blinded controlled study to compare the airway and respiratory complications of deep and awake tracheal extubations in adults.
The study team will collect data for this study from participants who are having surgery and recovering postoperatively on 2 pre-designated hospital units. The study team will use vital signs data from a portable device that participants wear on their wrists as well as conventional vital signs data that is collected when a health care provider comes into their room and collect this information. A substudy is also being performed with the distribution of surveys to the nursing staff on the floors who are utilizing the ViSi hemodynamic monitors within our institution.
Neuromuscular blocking agents' (NMBA) use during surgery is associated with postoperative respiratory complications and increased risk of readmission to the hospital following ambulatory surgery. Residual neuromuscular block (rNMB) after surgery is difficult to identify. We have recently developed the REsidual neuromuscular block Prediction Score (REPS), that predicts the risk for postoperative rNMB. Our primary objective is now to assess the predictive ability of the REPS for respiratory complications within seven days following general anaesthesia. The secondary objective is to compare the predictive values of REPS and train-of-four (TOF)-ratio below 0.90 for respiratory complications.
The goal of this study was to identify the etiology of events and demographics of patients that experience complications requiring activation of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) during the first 24 h following anesthetic care.
The aim of this study is to increase the detection of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and secondly to increase the sensitivity for detection of respiratory depression (\< 6 breaths per minute) in post operative patients on the general care nursing unit.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the frequency of use of incentive spirometry during the stay in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) increases with visual and auditory electronic reminders, as compared to not having those reminders.
