Safety and efficacy of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce ileus after colorectal surgery

2019

Ileus is common after elective colorectal surgery, and is associated with increased adverse events and prolonged hospital stay. The aim was to assess the role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for reducing ileus after surgery.A prospective multicentre cohort study was delivered by an international, student- and trainee-led collaborative group. Adult patients undergoing elective colorectal resection between January and April 2018 were included. The primary outcome was time to gastrointestinal recovery, measured using a composite measure of bowel function and tolerance to oral intake. The impact of NSAIDs was explored using Cox regression analyses, including the results of a c…

Safety of hospital discharge before return of bowel function after elective colorectal surgery

2020

Ileus is common after colorectal surgery and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. Identifying features of normal bowel recovery and the appropriateness for hospital discharge is challenging. This study explored the safety of hospital discharge before the return of bowel function.A prospective, multicentre cohort study was undertaken across an international collaborative network. Adult patients undergoing elective colorectal resection between January and April 2018 were included. The main outcome of interest was readmission to hospital within 30 days of surgery. The impact of discharge timing according to the return of bowel function was explored using multiva…

Signal Quality Monitoring: Correlation mask based on Ratio Test metrics for multipath detection

2009

In any measurement process, the observation is error affected: calibration and careful measuring procedures can reduce the error components but are unable to completely eliminate them. The capability to monitor and to detect any disturbances on the spreading sequences transmitted by the satellites is then of primary importance. Quality Control techniques based on a modified tracking architecture, which provides a certain number of correlator outputs, are analysed in this paper. Such outputs are used to build a metric used to monitor in real-time the reliability of the signal being tracked. In literature, several definitions of metrics can be found. The mainly used metrics are based on the f…
