Maltodextrin in the Preoperative Fast for Kids in ERAS
This pilot study tests whether giving maltodextrin before surgery helps reduce anxiety and improve recovery in children aged 3 to 8 undergoing elective day surgery.
-
VR preparation for kids before surgery
A small study tests whether a virtual reality tour of the hospital before surgery helps kids aged 3–12 feel less anxious and more cooperative.
-
Feasibility of high-dose multimodal prehabilitation for women awaiting gynecologic cancer surgery
This study tests whether a high-dose, multimodal prehabilitation program can be delivered before gynecologic cancer surgery and whether patients prefer in-person, remote, or education-only approaches.
-
Pre-surgery conditioning and optimization for hip or knee replacement
This will try a tailored pre-surgery program for adults with higher surgical risk (ASA ≥3) who are waiting at least eight weeks for elective hip or knee replacement to see if it improves recovery and reduces complications.
-
Smartwatch checks for vitals, anxiety, and sleep before disc surgery
This project will test whether Samsung smartwatches can accurately measure blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, anxiety, and sleep in adults preparing for disc herniation surgery.
-
Understanding risks of same-day noncardiac surgery
This study looks at the risks and complications that may happen to adults having same-day noncardiac surgery to help doctors better understand how to keep patients safe and improve their quality of life.
