SURGICAL PROCEDURE, UNSPECIFIED

This study tests a new, less invasive way to rebuild bone in the upper jaw for dental implants. Instead of a large cut, surgeons access the sinus through a small opening between the tooth roots, lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone graft only where needed. The goal is to re…

This study looks at two methods of delivering pain medicine through a nerve block catheter after surgery: a steady drip or scheduled small doses. Researchers want to see which method controls pain better and reduces the need for extra painkillers. About 240 adults having surgery …

This study compares two ways to give breathing exercises to people with non-small cell lung cancer before and after lung surgery. Half of the 560 participants will use a smartphone app called Fissios along with in-person physiotherapy sessions, while the other half will only atte…

This study looks at whether stopping tube feeding before a procedure helps or harms critically ill patients on breathing machines. About 1,072 participants will be randomly assigned to fast for at least 8 hours or not fast before their procedure. Researchers will track lung compl…

This study watches how a standard dose of dexamethasone, a drug often given during anesthesia, changes blood sugar levels in 100 adults having non-cardiac surgery. Participants wear a continuous glucose monitor for 10 days to track sugar swings more closely than finger-prick test…

This study tests a new monitoring platform that tracks vital signs continuously in the hospital and at home after non-cardiac surgery. About 50 adults in British Columbia will use the device, and researchers will collect feedback from patients and clinicians on usability, safety,…

This study tests a new training program called Better Conversations to help surgeons communicate more clearly with patients. Researchers will compare specialist-led training versus automated training by recording surgical consultations and surveying patients. The goal is to see i…

This study is testing whether different types of surgeries create unique electrical patterns, like a digital fingerprint. Researchers will collect data from 160 adults undergoing specific procedures and see if a computer can correctly identify the surgery type just from the elect…
