SCT holds potential as an alternative to tracheostomy because of ease of performance, fewer complications, and better cosmetic outcomes.
We developed a registry to track patients undergoing endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in an integrated health care system, leveraging an electronic medical record (EMR) to evaluate clinical practices, device performance, surgical complications, and medium-term outcomes.
Note that these common traits extracted from the medical record were selected in advance, prior to the start of the study, because they are documented on most visits due to their relevance to the performance or complications of surgery and/or potential impact on vision.
There are a few reports [12] of clinical experience with polyaxial implants, and early observation confirms good performance and complication rates similar to first-generation fixed-angle plates.
One study comparing the Ella stent with the Polyflex stent observed similar clinical performance and complication rates between the 2 stents as well as a significantly lower reintervention rate for the Ella stent group [ 4].
Real time ultrasound use while performing the block may reduce the complications, performance time, and local anesthetic requirements.
The aim of this study was to evaluate this new emergency cricothyroidotomy set regarding success rate, performance time and complications in comparison with the standard surgical approach performed by inexperienced clinicians.
In this study, we compared a new indicator-guided puncture technique (PCK) with standard surgical technique (ST) regarding success rate, performance time and complications.
Since its market introduction in 2010, TIGR® Matrix has been used in a variety of plastic and general surgical procedures where soft tissue reinforcement is required, and it has shown excellent results and performance with minimal complications [ 12].
In this study, we found that teamwork training was associated with improved team non-technical skills, but that technical performance declined and complications rose marginally compared with the control group.
