This study tests whether having family members involved in a child's anesthesia care can lower the chance of emergency delirium—a state of confusion and agitation—after surgery. The trial will include 444 children aged 2 to 6 years having short elective surgeries. Researchers wil…

This study compares two ways to deliver breathing exercises before and after lung cancer surgery: in-person sessions with a physiotherapist versus using a smartphone app (Fissios App) alongside those sessions. The goal is to see if the app helps reduce complications like infectio…

This study compares two common risk assessment tools—the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and the POSSUM score—to see which better predicts complications in gynecologic cancer surgery. Researchers will track 300 adults undergoing elective surgery to measure complications, hospita…

This study looks at 3,000 people with complex congenital heart disease who had or will have heart surgery. Researchers will analyze medical records and follow-up data to find key risk factors for recovery. The goal is to build a national database and quality control system to imp…

This study observes 50 adults having planned surgery to understand why blood pressure drops during anesthesia. Researchers collect detailed heart and blood vessel data, then use machine learning to find patterns. The goal is to create personalized treatment recommendations for lo…

This study compares two operating-room monitors—stroke volume variation (SVV) and the Pleth Variability Index (PVI)—to see which more accurately predicts whether giving fluids will help the heart pump better during laparoscopic major abdominal surgery. About 300 adults having ele…
