In Brief Study Design. This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded comparison of tranexamic acid (TXA), epsilon aminocaproic (EACA), and placebo used intraoperatively in patients with adult spinal deformity. Objective. The purpose this study was to provide high-quality evidence regarding the comparative efficacies TXA, EACA, reducing blood loss transfusion requirements undergoing posterior fusion surgery. Summary Background Data. Spine deformity surgery usually involves substantial...
Summary: Autologous fat grafting has been widely used in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Harvesting techniques play a key role graft viability outcomes. The authors investigated the effect of harvest pressure on adipocyte survival surviving cells. Abdominal lipoaspiration was performed at high (−760 mmHg) low (−250 three patients. Adipocyte cell were measured. count immediately after 47 percent higher when aspirated compared with pressure. In addition, significantly day 7 low-pressure...
Retrospective cohort study.To assess the rate and causes of unplanned readmissions after surgical treatment common degenerative lumbar pathologies within 90 days.With pay-for performance bundled payment compensation models being implemented; there is a growing emphasis to decrease number surgery. Reports on spine pathology readmission rates are often obtained from national databases that lack clinical detail. Less published results single-center institutions.Hospital administrative database...
<h3>Background</h3> Unplanned hospital readmissions result in significant clinical and financial burdens to patients the healthcare system. Readmission rates causes have been investigated using large administrative databases which certain limitations data reporting coding. The objective of this study was provide a description 90 day post-discharge following surgery for common degenerative cervical spine pathologies at large-volume tertiary hospital. also compared readmission who underwent...
Intraoperative cell salvage systems, or savers, are widely used for the management of blood loss in patients undergoing spine surgery. However, recent studies report conflicting evidence their efficacy. The purpose meta-analysis was to investigate efficacy savers reducing transfusion requirements
Background: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the efficacy of bispectral index (BIS) to reduce intra-operative awareness (IOA) have reported conflicting results. The purpose this meta-analysis is consolidate results from RCTs assess BIS in reducing IOA when compared controls. Secondary outcomes included time extubation, spontaneous and/or verbal eye opening, PACU discharge time, and utilization inhaled anesthetics. Methods: which on one primary secondary were included....
To assess the correlation between perception of learning environment and approach to adopted by anesthesiology residents throughout training in an academic institution United States.This is a cross-sectional study involving forty-one who completed electronic forms Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire approaches, Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure questionnaire environment. Convenience sampling was used with current residents. Learning approaches were analyzed multiple...
In a surgery known for substantial blood loss (often >5 L) and need transfusion, two antifibrinolytics significantly reduced the primary outcomes of intraoperative total compared with placebo in patients aged =50 years. However, <50 years, no significant differences were seenA.
