Perioperative Kinetics of Reactive Hyperemia Using Noninvasive Digital Thermal Monitoring

Primary Objective: The primary objective of the study is to characterize and measure the impact of major surgery on the kinetics of endothelial function during the perioperative period. Reactive hyperemia, characterized by Digital Thermal Monitoring (DTM), will be utilized to characterize this during the perioperative period in patients undergoing major abdominal or thoracic surgery. This will attempt to characterize the relationship between impaired endothelial functio...

Intraoperative Gamma Probe Localization of the Ureter

This study is being done to find a different way to identify the ureters during an abdominal operation. During some operations, the operating physician must identify where the ureters are to prevent injury to them. Typically, the surgeon calls the urologist to thread a small scope with a camera into the urethra (where the urine comes out) to place a wire into each of the two ureters to locate them. Instead of this procedure, we will inject a small amount of a radioactive...

Continuous Bupivacaine Infusion Following Colonic Surgery

The primary objective is to evaluate the influence of continuous local anesthetic infiltration on tissue oxygenation after surgical procedures requiring abdominal surgery as a major predictor for wound healing.

Prevention of Perioperative Acute Renal Failure

The purpose of this study is to measure the acute renal dysfunction on the first, second, seventh and twentieth days.

Changes of Oxygen Saturation in Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) in Patients During and After High Risk Abdominal Surgery and Relationship to the Outcome

Tissue hypoxia is one of the most important factors leading to the development of multiorgan failure. Patients presenting for emergent major abdominal surgery might suffer from organ hypoperfusion. Thus, early detection of the imbalance between oxygen supply and demand may improve the outcome. The investigators believe that hypoperfusion of the abdominal organs will cause a decrease of the saturation in the hepatic vein and in the IVC.

Study To Check The Analgesic And Anti-Inflammatory Effects Of Atorvastatin In Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery

The study is planned to check the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of Atorvastatin in patients who will be undergoing abdominal surgery under spinal anesthesia. The investigators intend to monitor the analgesic requirements, the rate of wound healing and the inflammatory markers in this trial.

A Controlled Trial of Effectiveness of a Backward Walking Program in Patients Recovering From Abdominal Aorta Surgery

Summary Question: Does backward walking offer additional therapeutic value in patients after aortic aneurysm surgery? Participants: The study of backward walking as an addictive physiotherapy procedure was conducted in the group of 65 patients who underwent abdominal aorta surgery. The patients were randomly divided into three subgroups and three various models of physiotherapy were applied. Control group has only routine physiotherapy since therapeutic group I and II have also...
