-
Nutrition education before arthroscopic knee or shoulder surgery
This study tests whether watching a nutrition education video before arthroscopic knee or shoulder surgery helps patients’ recovery by comparing those who viewed the video to those who did not.
-
Does an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) plan reduce preoperative anxiety and improve 1-year patient-reported outcomes in orthopedic patients?
This study tests whether an ERAS program can lower preoperative anxiety and improve long-term patient-reported outcomes after orthopedic surgery.
-
Using femoral vein size to predict low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia in older adults having orthopedic surgery
This test will see if the width of the right common femoral vein on ultrasound can predict drops in blood pressure after spinal anesthesia in people over 60 having elective lower-limb orthopedic surgery.
-
Preventing low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia with a small dose of ketamine in orthopedic surgery
This trial will test if a single sub‑anesthetic IV dose of ketamine given before spinal anesthesia can prevent low blood pressure in adults having elective orthopedic surgery.
-
Using methadone to prevent pain after orthopedic surgery
This study tests if giving methadone during orthopedic surgery can help manage pain better than sufentanil for patients having hip or knee replacements.
-
Comparing intermittent fasting and carbohydrate drinks before surgery
This study is testing whether intermittent fasting or drinking carbohydrate drinks before surgery helps people with orthopedic issues have better metabolic health.
