POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS

This study is testing if having a structured meeting of different doctors (like surgeons and anesthesiologists) before surgery improves care for high-risk patients. It involves 1200 patients across 14 hospitals to see if this team approach leads to fewer serious complications, be…

This study is testing a new blood measurement called ICIS to see if it can help doctors detect infections earlier in patients recovering from pancreas surgery. Researchers will track 400 patients using routine blood draws to see how well ICIS predicts infections compared to stand…

This study is testing a new computer system designed to predict a patient's risk of complications after major surgery. The system analyzes patient data in real-time and generates a risk score. Researchers are comparing how accurate these computer-generated scores are against the …

This study is testing if a drug called Dalargin can prevent serious organ damage in patients recovering from major abdominal surgery, like stomach or colon operations. About 200 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either Dalargin or a placebo (saltwater) infusion for th…

This study is testing whether a simple, independent bedside exercise plan helps older adults recover faster after surgery. Over 2,000 patients aged 65+ having common surgeries will either follow the exercise plan or receive usual hospital care. The goal is to see if getting patie…

This study is testing whether different types of play can help children feel less anxious and have fewer symptoms like pain after surgery. Researchers are comparing three methods—finger puppet play, virtual reality glasses, and smartphone games—for kids aged 6 to 12 having planne…

This study aimed to find out if a steroid pill (methylprednisolone) could help people feel better after nose surgery (rhinoplasty). It planned to test if the pill reduced pain, nausea, swelling, and bruising in the days after the operation. The trial was withdrawn before any pati…

This study is testing if a protective wrap made from pig tissue can help a shoulder nerve heal better after surgery to remove lymph nodes for head and neck cancer. The goal is to reduce post-surgery shoulder pain, weakness, and difficulty moving the arm. Researchers will measure …

This study aims to develop a computer program (AI) that can predict when a patient will fully recover from the muscle-relaxing drugs used during surgery. It will compare the AI's predictions against those made by experienced anesthesiologists. The goal is to create a tool that he…
