12 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to compare: the standard pediatric intubation instrument (Miller blade) used as direct laryngoscopy during tracheal intubation to the VideoMiller device (the standard pediatric blade with a camera attached, giving indirect view of the vocal cords in the screen). This intubation device is used to place the tube in the trachea to keep the patient breathing during the surgery procedure. The anesthesiologist obtains a better view of the vocal cords looking at the screen provided by the VideoMiller.
Establish the range of index values for the SNAP II corresponding to each anesthetic state studied.
The administration of anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen before and after surgery has not been studied extensively. Subjects are being asked to participate in this study because they are scheduled for surgery and because the investigators want to study ways to improve recovery from surgery. Ibuprofen will be given several times before and after surgery. The investigators will ask questions to determine recovery and the investigators will draw blood to determine inflammatory response.
To demonstrate HSK3486 0.4/0.2 mg/kg (0.4 mg/kg intravenous \[IV\] slow injection over 30 \[±5\] seconds for the first dose, an additional 0.2 mg/kg if needed) is non-inferior to propofol 2.0/1.0 mg/kg (2.0 mg/kg IV slow injection over 30 \[±5\] seconds for first dose, an additional 1.0 mg/kg if needed) in success of induction of general anesthesia in adults undergoing elective surgery.
Determine whether the application of povidone-iodine ophthalmic solution onto the ocular surface causes a change in respiration in children undergoing strabismus surgery with general anesthesia. Hypothesis: The application of povidone-iodine ophthalmic solution to the ocular surface causes a change in respiration in children during general anesthesia prior to strabismus surgery.
This project will investigate whether reduction in ambient light and elimination of noise on induction of anesthesia alters anxiety (modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale or mYPAS) or compliance (induction compliance checklist or ICC scoring), alters recovery following emergence using pain scores, analgesic requirements, and emergence delirium (post anesthesia emergence delirium or PAED), or post-discharge behavior at 1, 7 and 14 days (modified post hospitalization behaviour questionnaire or PHBQ) in patients who receive anxiolytic premedication. In addition, the investigators will assess the cumulative level of nose exposure that patients experience during the perioperative period.
The use of deep sedation may improve the quality of recovery of patients undergoing minor gynecologic procedures. These patients may also have shorter hospital stays and potentially lower healthcare costs. Additionally, the use of deep sedation for second trimester pregnancy termination may be associated with less bleeding, a smaller decrease in perioperative hemoglobin and better quality of recovery.
When it is safe to administer general anesthesia to the patient with cocaine positive urine drug screen has never been clearly determined. The study doctors would like to determine the effect of cocaine on blood pressure, heart rate and rhythm during surgery. After surgery, the subjects will be observed in regards to mental status and any changes in heart rate and rhythm.
The purpose of this project is to determine if there is a difference between paravertebral block and general anesthesia in terms of time to discharge from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit and pain level in patients undergoing outpatient breast cancer surgery.
In the PATHFINDER 2 trial, the study investigators will test the intraoperative EEG-guided multimodal general anesthesia (MMGA) management strategy in combination with a postoperative protocolized analgesic approach to: 1. reduce the incidence of perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction in cardiac surgical patients 2. ensure hemodynamic stability and decrease use of vasopressors in the operating rooms 3. reduce pain and opioid consumption postoperatively
This pilot project will address the gaps in knowledge regarding the effect of anesthetic technique on the risk of delirium through an adequately-powered trial employing standardized regimens for treatment and outcome assessment to test the hypothesis that use of spinal versus general anesthesia decreases the risk of delirium after hip fracture surgery.
Asses the effect of the use of Patient State Index (PSI) monitoring on difference in emergence profiles in the elderly (age \>65 yrs) population to develop a cost-benefit profile. Assess differences in Quality of Life using the QoR-40 (a validated 40-item questionnaire on quality of recovery from anesthesia) between the two treatment groups.
