NCT07208682
Retropubic midurethral slings are a common and effective treatment for stress urine incontinence. The trocar that is attached to the mesh material can hit the bladder which is called a perforation. While there are no known long-term adverse outcomes from trocar-induced bladder perforations, it can prolong operative time and bleeding. At academic institutions, it has been reported that trocar-induced perforations occurs in the range of 14-34% of the time. This study is a randomized controlled trial to see if an intervention can decrease trocar-induced bladder perforation rates. The primary outcome of this study is to measure trocar-induced bladder perforations in subjects undergoing a retropubic midurethral sling. Subjects would be randomized to either receive the hydrodissection in a standardized manner or to not receive it. Secondary outcomes include bothersome urinary symptoms, pain, estimated blood loss during surgery, and voiding trial results
NCT06610461
Anesthesia is crucial during upper GI endoscopy in order to improve the procedural conditions for the interventionist, increase the quality of examination and alleviate patient discomfort. However, sedation during endoscopy carries a serious risk of blood oxygen desaturation. This study aims to investigate the hypothesis if the application of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) during high-risk gastroscopy reduces the risk of blood oxygen levels to drop below a defined threshold. Enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to either the control group, receiving standard care during endoscopy, or the intervention group, receiving HFNO therapy during the procedure. Throughout the intervention, vital parameters will be recorded. Care providers will be asked to answer a questionnaire that specifically evaluates the effect of HFNO on patient safety and the procedure.
