POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS

This study tests whether wrapping the spinal accessory nerve with a porcine (pig) tissue product during neck dissection for head and neck cancer can prevent shoulder problems. About 74 adults who have not had prior neck surgery will be enrolled. Researchers will measure shoulder …

This study tests if a drug called dalargin can prevent serious organ problems like kidney injury, lung failure, or heart damage after major abdominal surgery. About 200 adults having high-risk surgery will get either dalargin or a placebo for 3 days. The goal is to see if dalargi…

This trial investigates whether the ELIXIR MD photobiomodulation device, which delivers low-level light energy to the skin, can improve patient satisfaction and recovery after facial or body plastic surgery. About 148 adults undergoing elective plastic surgery will receive either…

This study looks at whether fun activities like finger puppets, virtual reality glasses, or smartphone games can lower anxiety and pain in children aged 6 to 12 before and after surgery. About 76 kids having planned surgery will be randomly assigned to one of these play methods. …

This study aimed to see if taking oral steroids after nose surgery (rhinoplasty) could reduce pain, nausea, swelling, and bruising. It was designed for adults having their first nose surgery, but the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled. No results are availa…

This study tests a simple bedside exercise program called BE-FIT for adults aged 65 and older after surgery. The program encourages early movement and self-management to prevent muscle loss and speed up recovery. Researchers will compare mobility, hospital stay length, and compli…

This study looks at whether the P-POSSUM score, a tool used to predict surgical risks, can accurately forecast complications and death after abdominal surgery in patients aged 60 and older. Researchers will also check if adding a frailty assessment improves predictions. The study…

This study aimed to compare two ways of managing pain during abdominal surgery in people aged 50-70 with isolated systolic hypertension. One method uses opioids, the other uses an epidural. The goal was to see which leads to shorter hospital stays and fewer complications. However…

This study is looking at whether an artificial intelligence tool can help doctors decide which heart surgery patients might benefit from a drug called ulinastatin. Ulinastatin is used to reduce inflammation after surgery, but it doesn't work for everyone. Researchers will analyze…

This study uses artificial intelligence to predict when patients will fully recover from muscle relaxants given during surgery. The goal is to help doctors give the right dose at the right time, reducing the risk of breathing problems after surgery. The study will look at data fr…

This study looks at whether a computer model can predict heart injury after major orthopedic surgery in patients 65 and older. Researchers will combine blood tests, frailty scores, and other health data to build a machine learning tool. The goal is to help doctors spot high-risk …

This study looks at whether having a team of doctors and specialists meet before surgery can reduce serious complications for high-risk patients. About 1200 adults who are frail or have significant health issues and need noncardiac surgery will take part. The team discusses each …

This study tests a computer system that uses patient data to predict complications after surgery. Doctors and the computer will each give risk scores for 200 patients, and researchers will compare which is more accurate. The goal is to see if technology can help improve surgical …

This study is testing a new blood test called ICIS to see if it can detect infections earlier in patients recovering from pancreatic surgery. Researchers will track ICIS levels in 400 adults during their hospital stay, using routine blood samples. The goal is to improve early inf…
