POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS

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

This study tests whether wrapping a nerve in the neck with a special material (made from pig tissue) can help preserve shoulder movement and reduce disability after surgery for head and neck cancer. About 74 adults who have not had prior neck surgery will be enrolled. The study i…

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 It was designed for adults having their first nose surgery, but the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.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 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 tests a computer system that uses routine hospital data to predict risks of complications after surgery. Researchers will compare the computer's risk scores to those given by doctors for the same patients. The goal is to see if the computer can help improve surgical ri…

This study aims to develop an AI tool that predicts when muscle function fully returns after anesthesia during surgery. Researchers will analyze data from over 240,000 adult patients to create a model that helps doctors time muscle relaxant drugs better. The goal is to reduce com…

This study looks at whether a computer model can predict heart injury in older adults (65+) after major orthopedic surgery. Researchers will use patient health data, blood tests, and frailty scores to train machine learning algorithms. The goal is to help doctors identify high-ri…

This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze data from 10,000 heart surgery patients. The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors identify which patients will benefit from a drug called ulinastatin, which may reduce inflammation and complications after surgery. By bette…

This study aimed to compare two common pain control methods (opioids vs. epidural) during abdominal surgery in patients aged 50-70 with isolated systolic hypertension. The goal was to see which method led to shorter hospital stays and fewer complications. However, the study was w…
