Abstract:
There are more than 600,000 emergency general surgery admissions per year in England. These patients comprise about 50 percent of general surgical workload but make up 80-90 percent of all general surgical deaths. In recent years surgical colleges and societies in the UK have warned of significant variability in the quality of care between hospitals but, to date, little formal evaluation of the quality of care in emergency general surgery exists. This thesis uses the Structure/Process/Outcome quality assessment framework, devised by Avedis Donabedian, to examine quality of care in emergency general surgery across all three of these domains. A study of high risk emergency general surgical admissions using the administrative Hospital Episode Statistics dataset demonstrated significant variability in 30-day in-hospital mortality between NHS Trusts. Investigation of NHS Trust structure was performed using data from the Department of Health. There were significant differences in the provision of intensive care beds and in the utilization of computed tomography and ultrasound scanning between low mortality and high mortality NHS Trusts. The process of care was assessed using an explicit checklist for the admission phase of care and using ethnographic field notes for patients’ subsequent hospital stay. Across 5 London hospitals, process reliability during admissions to hospital was poor, with nearly 20% of recommended processes omitted. Failures in the process of care were also common in subsequent ward based care. Failures were considered to be highly preventable and frequently caused harm to patients or delayed their discharge. Overall, this thesis has identified significant variability in the quality of care for emergency general surgical patients in structure, process and outcomes. While the thesis does not evaluate every single aspect of patient care it demonstrates the degree of improvement required in emergency surgical care and provides some recommendations for future quality improvement.

Hauck, Robert. "Virtual surgery and orthopaedic surgery : towards training using haptic technology." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/38530/.

Abstract:
Medical education and practical training in surgery is changing, by shifting from an on the job learning paradigm, which possesses problems such as that it is unpredictable, dependent on clinical needs and that patient safety may be jeopardised, to an evidence-based surgical skills training driven by curricular needs, and acquiring basic surgical skills prior to assisting in the operating theatre and thus reducing operation duration. Towards achieving this goal, virtual reality (VR) simulators are used in minimally invasive surgery for technical skills training at the beginning of the learning curve, but have not yet been adapted for open surgery due to its complexity for simulation. This thesis investigated the potential of using a VR simulator for training in orthopaedic hand surgery, with an emphasis on providing a meaningful, effective and motivating addition to current training methods for surgical procedures. A review of literature, preliminary research projects and currently available surgical systems revealed limited results on whether a VR simulation of orthopaedic hand surgery could be created, fulfilling the needs of medical experts. Therefore, a study investigating the current state of medical education and to understand the expectations on such a simulator was carried out, which resulted in the identification of promising medical scenarios for simulation (such as carpal tunnel release, distal radius fracture treatment or surgical incision) and in requirements for its development. Different software frameworks have been evaluated for their ability for use by analysing five developed demonstrators, with the result that a custom implementation of a six-degrees-of-freedom haptic algorithm was required. By following a human-centred design approach, a VR surgical simulator with inbuilt objective measures of assessment has been developed, allowing applying a plate, drilling holes, measuring their lengths, inserting screws and taking virtual X-rays, supported by haptic feedback for increased realism and teaching aspects not possible by common computer-based simulators, such as feeling the resistance when drilling through the cortical bone. By close collaboration with medical experts and following user interface design principles, a carried out medical evaluation of the simulator showed that the simulator was well-received by the targeted young doctors and medical students, that relevant aspects of the implemented medical scenario are taught and that the users’ performance can be assessed. The findings of this work showed that it is possible to create an interactive VR simulator aimed at early stages to learn basic orthopaedic principles of open surgery using the example of the treatment of distal radius fractures in a meaningful manner. It addresses issues in the current medical education and enables learning educational objectives repeatedly in reusable medical scenarios and in a safe and controlled environment, without the risk of harming patients, and thus contributing to improved quality and patient safety when proceeding to the operating theatre.

Abstract:
Background: Dedicated emergency general surgery (EGS) services have been established across North America as a means to bring focus and quality to a large, complex and vulnerable surgical population. The emergence of these services represents a great opportunity to understand and improve emergency surgical care. Methods: This research programs applies a health systems structure/process/outcomes framework to the study of EGS services in Canada: 1. OUTCOME: A systematic review of the effects of an EGS service on patient and non-patient related outcomes 2. STRUCTURE: A national cross sectional study of structure and case mix on 14 EGS services 3. PROCESS: Detailed process mapping of a complex EGS condition Results: 1. OUTCOMES: Studies found increased daytime and decreased after-hours operating, improved patient transit from ED to OR to home, and decreased length of stay after implementation of an EGS service. The overall trend was higher more diverse case volumes, which improved resident education. Lower complication rates were noticed in the appendicitis and cholecystitis groups. 2. STRUCTURE: Canadian EGS services demonstrated variability in service organization and access to operating rooms. However, a national cross sectional study of EGS patients revealed that all services see diverse case mix and high complexity, and routinely make complex judgments about operative and non-operative care. 3. PROCESS: The processes of care for small bowel obstruction (SBO) patients from the time of presentation to the time of follow-up were highly elaborate and variable in terms of duration. Data visualization strategies were used to identify substantial variability in terms of time to CT scan and time to OR. Conclusions: The EGS model has been implemented worldwide, and has demonstrated an improvement in timeliness of care, decreased administrative costs, and improved trainee learning. EGS services are well-established in Canada, and poised to identify new opportunities for improved patient care. Process mapping has been successfully integrated into surgical specialties and provides insight into potential areas of performance improvement in EGS.

Abstract:
The delivery of high-quality emergency general surgical care remains a concern for clinicians, healthcare providers and policy makers. Emergency admissions contribute to approximately half of a general surgeon’s workload, however the morbidity and mortality figures seen in this cohort are up-to ten times higher than those seen in elective practice. Despite considerable advances in surgical technology and peri/post-operative protocols over the past twenty years, there appears to be little improvement in outcome following emergency surgical admissions. It is therefore proposed that the delivery of emergency surgical services and hospital structure may significantly contribute to the poor outcomes seen in the acute setting and a greater understanding of the factors that contribute to high-quality care is required. An introduction to the factors that contribute to the delivery of emergency general surgery is presented along with the concepts of examining and identifying quality both in healthcare and other high-risk industries. A systematic review then examines the different models of care seen in the delivery of emergency general surgery across the world along with their effect on outcome and sets the scene for the areas of interest in this thesis. A series of inter-linked, mixed methods studies combining: quantitative analyses of an international dataset, ethnographic observation, a healthcare failure mode effects analysis and audit to identify structural factors that lead to improved outcomes in the delivery of emergency general surgery. The themes of high-quality care, hospital structure, international benchmarking and their association with outcome run throughout these studies in this thesis with outcome data from hospitals in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States being compared. This thesis highlights a series of unit-level quality indicators whose introduction can be associated with high-quality care and be directly translated into clinical practice using quality improvement methodologies to ultimately improve patient care.

Abstract:
The peak incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease is between 15 – 25 years. A significant number of young people whose disease is not controlled by medication undergo surgery. However, the experiences of young adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease have not been well researched. The aim of this two phase exploratory mixed methods sequential study was to investigate the process of transition in young adults aged 18 – 25 years with Inflammatory Bowel Disease who faced the prospect of, or had undergone, surgery. Schlossberg’s Transition Theory (Goodman et al, 2006) was used to identify the important factors that influenced their experience. Phase1 was qualitative and exploratory and obtained narratives from semi structured interviews with 24 young adults. Phase 2 was a survey. In order to establish whether findings from Phase 1 could be generalised a questionnaire developed from the Phase 1 findings was developed and sent to 158 young adults randomly sampled from seven NHS centres in England,. One hundred and twenty people responded (76%). Key findings from Phase 1 were that preoperatively most young people knew that their disease was out of control. Afterwards they perceived that surgery had improved their physical health and positively changed their lives. The key findings from Phase 2 were that 72 (60%) young people had a positive perception of their surgery. Participants also experienced an improvement in physical health and made a good psychological recovery. The majority of participants (n=106, 84%) received appropriate support and used positive coping strategies such as acceptance and positive reframing. Fear, worry, uncertainty, negative experiences of surgery and body image concerns hindered the process of transition. The specialist Inflammatory Bowel Disease or stoma nurse had a key role in facilitating a positive transition. The study findings will enable health care practitioners to provide appropriate information, care and support for young adult patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease facing surgery.

Abstract:
The doctoral dissertation analyses and compares general endotracheal and combined endotracheal epidural anesthesia’s impact on organ systems and describes the systems parameters in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Comparing two perioperative analgesia techniques used in laparoscopic colorectal surgery the hemodynamic and respiratory parameters trends; the impact of anesthesia and postoperative analgesia methods on patients’ tracheal extubation time, intestinal motility recovery rate, duration of hospitalization and inflammatory response have been determined. Laparoscopic colorectal resection, even being a minimally invasive technique for laparoscopic surgery, stimulates the body's response to stress and pro-inflammatory mediator’s secretion. Perioperative pain management may also influence the immune response. The doctoral dissertation analyses the impact of epidural analgesia method on the body stress response, investigating variations of cortisol and interleukin-6 levels. The results showed that analgesia and patient satisfaction using epidural analgesia method for perioperative pain management were better. Tracheal extubation time was significantly shorter. Recovery of intestinal motility using epidural analgesia was significant and much prior than using intravenous analgesia. The use of epidural analgesia in laparoscopic colorectal surgery caused less stress response – less cortisol levels increase. It has not showed the increase in number of complications.
Disertacijoje analizuojama ir lyginama bendrosios endotrachėjinės ir kombinuotos endotrachėjinės epiduralinės anestezijos įtaka atskiroms organų sistemoms ir tas sistemas apibūdinantiems rodikliams laparoskopinių kolorektalinių operacijų metu. Darbe nagrinėjama dviejų perioperacinių skausmo malšinimo būdų įtaka hemodinamikos ir kvėpavimo sistemos parametrų kitimo tendencijoms, pacientų trachėjos ekstubacijos laikui, žarnyno motorikos atsinaujinimo greičiui, hospitalizacijos trukmei bei organizmo uždegiminiam atsakui. Laparoskopinės storosios žarnos rezekcinės operacijos, net ir būdamos minimaliai invazinės dėl laparoskopinės operacijos technikos, sužadina stresinį organizmo atsaką bei uždegimo mediatorių išskyrimą. Perioperacinis skausmo valdymas taip pat gali daryti įtaką imuniniam atsakui. Disertacijoje nagrinėjama epiduralinės analgezijos metodo įtaka organizmo stresiniam atsakui tiriant kortizolio kiekio kitimus ir interleukino-6, kaip vieno pagrindinių uždegimą skatinančių citokinų, koncentracijos kitimą taikant epiduralinę analgezijos metodiką. Gauti rezultatai parodė, kad analgezijai pasitelkiant epiduralinį skausmo malšinimo metodą, perioperacinis pacientų skausmo valdymas ir pasitenkinimas yra geresnis, trachėjos ekstubacijos laikas patikimai trumpesnis, žarnyno peristaltikos atsitaisymas ankstyvesnis, sukeliamas stresinis organizmo atsakas mažesnis (mažesnis kortizolio koncentracijos padidėjimas) ir nenustatyta komplikacijų padaugėjimo.

Abstract:
Background: Emergency General Surgery (EGS) patients have unique physiologic characteristics and are at a high risk of complications compared to elective general surgery patients. We aimed to perform a scoping review of the literature that examines predictors of outcomes in EGS patients. Methodology: A scoping review of published literature from 2004 to May 2015 was conducted in Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane library and PubMed. Keywords were chosen based on the three most common diagnoses in EGS; acute appendicitis, cholecystitis and small bowel obstruction, in addition to emergency general surgery, acute care surgery, outcomes & post-operative complications. Articles meeting inclusion criteria were summarized. Quantitative data regarding study characteristics were analyzed and expressed as descriptive statistics. Qualitative data from included studies were grouped intro predictors based on a framework derived from a grounded theory approach to content analysis. Primary outcomes of interest were post-operative morbidity and mortality. A predictor was included if it was significantly correlated with an outcome based on a minimum of bivariate analysis. Results: A total of 715 articles were identified during the primary search, of those 62 were found to be relevant to the search criteria. Almost all of the studies were retrospective. The median number of patients in these studies was 1000 (IQR 266,20896) with a mean of median/mean age reported of 53.2 years. Average length of follow up was 4.6 years. There were 54 predictors of outcome identified and these were grouped into patient related, process related and structure/system related predictors. The most frequently reported predictor of any adverse outcome was absence of an EGS system, followed by an ASA score of 3 or more. The most frequently reported predictor of post-operative morbidity was absence of EGS system. The most frequently reported predictor of mortality was age ≥ 65, emergency status and ASA ≥ 3. Conclusion: EGS patients are at a higher risk of post-operative adverse outcome as compared to elective surgical patients. System implementation significantly improves outcomes in this patient population. Identifying what predicts adverse outcomes can help in future risk assessment scores, planning future prospective trials and improving performance in emergency general surgery systems.

Full text
Abstract:
Background Tuberculosis remains a prevalent and deadly global disease. Diagnostic delays are partly due to reduced diagnostic performance of tuberculosis tests in HIV-positive people. The use of reliable pointof-care and near-patient diagnostic tests (e.g. urine lipoarabinomannan and point-of-care ultrasound) are increasingly being used and would benefit patients presenting to emergency centres by rapidly diagnosing HIV-associated tuberculosis. Methods Two studies were done: i) A systematic (Cochrane) review was done to determine the diagnostic accuracy of abdominal ultrasound for detecting abdominal tuberculosis or disseminated tuberculosis with abdominal involvement in HIV-positive individuals, and ii) A cross-sectional diagnostic study to derive a multi-parameter clinical decision tree, incorporating clinical information, point-of-care ultrasound features, chest x-ray and urine lateral flow lipoarabinomannan. The cross-sectional study was performed at the emergency centre of Khayelitsha Hospital, a South African district-level hospital in a high HIV-prevalence community, and resulted in three different publications. Consecutive HIV-positive adults presenting with ≥1 WHO tuberculosis symptoms were enrolled over a 16-month period (June 2016 to October 2017). Demographic and clinical information was recorded on a standardized data collection form. Point-of-care ultrasound was performed according to a standardized protocol. Urine lipoarabinomannan assays were done at point-of-care by emergency physicians and repeated in the laboratory. Chest x-rays were reviewed by a single radiologist using a standardized assessment form. The reference standard was a positive tuberculosis culture or Xpert MTB/RIF test on sputum, or appropriate extra-pulmonary samples. We compared diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility of urine lipoarabinomannan between point-ofcare readers and laboratory readers. We determined the diagnostic accuracy of individual point-ofcare ultrasound features, performed an external validation of the focused assessment with sonography for HIV/TB (FASH) protocol, and determined independent point-of-care ultrasound predictors of HIV-associated tuberculosis. We derived the decision tree model from multivariable logistic regression models. Results Abdominal ultrasound had a pooled sensitivity of 63% (95%CI 43-79; 5 studies, 368 participants; very low-certainty evidence) and a pooled specificity of 68% (95%CI 42-87; 5 studies, 511 participants; very low-certainty evidence) for bacteriologically confirmed tuberculosis. We screened 556 patients in the cross-sectional study of whom 414 (74.5%) were enrolled. The prevalence of microbiologically confirmed tuberculosis was 41.5% (n=172). Point-of-care and laboratory-performed urine lipoarabinomannan had similar sensitivity (41.8% vs 42.0%, P=1.0) and specificity (90.5% vs 87.5%, P=0.23). Moderate agreement was found between point-of-care and laboratory testing (k=0.62), but there was strong agreement between point-of-care readers (k=0.95) and between laboratory readers (k=0.94). Sensitivity and specificity of ≥1 individual point-of-care ultrasound feature were 73% (95%CI 65-79) and 54% (95%CI 47-60), and of the FASH protocol 71% (95%CI 64-78) and 57% (95%CI 50-63). Independent point-of-care ultrasound predictors identified were intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy of any size (aDOR 3.7; 95%CI 2.0-6.7), ascites (aDOR 3.0; 95%CI 1.5-5.7), and pericardial effusion of any size (aDOR 1.9; 95%CI 1.2-3.0). Two or more independent point-of-care ultrasound predictors had 33% (95%CI 27–41) sensitivity and 91% (95%CI 86-94) specificity. The best performing model included WHO screening symptoms ≥2, antiretroviral therapy use, urinary lipoarabinomannan, independently predictive point-of-care ultrasound features (ascites, any size pericardial effusion, any size intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy), and chest x-ray (c-statistic 0.82; 95%CI 0.78–0.86). Adding CD4 cell count did not improve the performance of the model. Classification And Regression Tree (CART) analysis positioned urinary lipoarabinomannan as the optimal screening test after WHO symptoms (75% true positive rate, representing 17% of participants). Conclusion An evidence-based algorithm for the rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis in HIV-positive patients presenting to an emergency centre was developed. Urinary lipoarabinomannan can be reliably performed at the point-of-care since there was no diagnostic accuracy advantage in laboratory-performed versus pointof-care–performed tests. The role of ultrasound in diagnosing HIV-associated tuberculosis had limitations. The low sensitivity of ultrasound (63% in the systematic review; 73% in the cross-sectional study) and the moderate discrimination (specificity 91%) of the presence of ≥2 independent point-ofcare ultrasound predictors indicate that point-of-care ultrasound results should be interpreted in combination with other diagnostic information. The derived decision tree can facilitate the immediate initiation of anti-tuberculosis treatment in about a quarter of patients among whom 75% would have a definitive diagnosis of tuberculosis regardless of CD4 cell count. The 30% false negative rate indicates that the algorithm should not be used to exclude tuberculosis. The performance of the decision tree needs to be further evaluated in settings with a different prevalence of HIV-associated tuberculosis.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Blunt and penetrating traumatic thoracic aortic injuries constitute surgical emergencies that are attended with high mortality rates. Most patients do not survive long enough, post injury, to reach a hospital. On-site mortality rates may approach approximately 85%. Two main treatment options for blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAI) are open surgery and thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR). Penetrating thoracic aortic injuries (PTAI) have a higher mortality than blunt trauma, with patients often only reaching the hospital in extremis. Most will require early intervention. Currently TEVAR is rapidly evolving as the standard of care for thoracic aortic injuries (TAI) at many centres, primarily due to the emerging evidence of lower mortality and morbidity trends in comparison to open surgery (1–4). Methods: From December 2006 to December 2016, 34 patients (30 blunt trauma, 4 penetrating trauma) with traumatic aortic injuries (grades I-IV) were treated with thoracic aortic stent-grafts in the Groote Schuur Hospital Vascular Unit, Cape Town. We assessed the technical and clinical outcomes following TEVAR in these patients. Results: The 30- day mortality rate was 5.8%, corresponding to 2 deaths both associated with the index trauma-related fatal strokes. The overall mortality rate was 11.8% (4/34): three deaths were due to major strokes and one death was related to pulmonary complications. Conclusion: TEVAR after TAI is associated with significantly lower procedural and postoperative mortality. The 30 day and overall mortality after TEVAR in our unit is comparable to international standards. Even though there is a paucity of literature on PTAI, TEVAR has low peri-procedural adverse events and is safe in selected patients.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was to compare the efficacy and safety of perioperaive sufentanil and remifentanil use in patients receiving elective surgery under general anesthesia. Condition being studied: Patients receiving elective surgery under general anesthesia, and receving sufentanil or remifentanil during the operation. Information sources: We will search articles in MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, and Google Scholar from their inception up to August, 2022. To obtain more comprehensive search results, we will also search the ClinicalTrials.gov and cris.nih.go.kr for ongoing or incomplete clinical trials. We will also conduct a search of gray literature using OpenSIGLE.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The relevant expert consensus has not pointed out which ventilation device is better during general anesthesia in the pediatric airway management for elective surgery. Condition being studied: We carried out a keyword search using the terms “layngeal mask, LMA, endotracheal tube, tracheal tube, children, pediatric, anesthesia, RCT, randomized controlled trials, randomized, elective surgery.” In general, searches are developed in MEDLINE in Ovid; Embase.com; the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) via the Wiley Interface; Web of Science Core Collection; PubMed restricting to records in the subset “as supplied by publisher” to find references that not yet indexed in MEDLINE; and Google Scholar. When available, these databases were searched using a combination of subject headings (such as MeSH) and filters (such as RCT). We reviewed references of included studies to identify relevant studies. We imposed no language or time restriction. The exact date of the database search is September 1, 2021.We carried out a keyword search using terms “layngeal mask, LMA, endotracheal tube, tracheal tube, children, pediatric, anesthesia, RCT, randomized controlled trials, randomized, elective surgery.”

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: To investigate the prevalence of postoperative delirium (POD) or postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) between regional and general anesthesia in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Condition being studied: About 1.6 million people suffer hip fractures each year globally1. The risk of hip fracture-related postoperative mortality within 30 days approximately was 8.2% in December 2020, up 1.5% from December 2016. Across the world, the aging population is growing, and a significant number of elderly patients are undergoing various kinds of orthopedic surgeries. Age as an important independent high-risk factor is associated with perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs), which not only increases the rate but also causes a serious economic and social burden. One previous study investigated that between 2012 and 2016, the absolute total number of hip fractures in people aged 55 and older increased by about 4 times due to an aging population12. In addition, Bhushan et al. reported that along with the increasing aging of society, the incidence rate of POCD is 5% to 56% in the elderly over 55 years old after surgery morbidity and mortality but also causes a serious economic and social burden.

Abstract:
Unwanted pregnancy is a serious and stressful problem for women. As stated in this paper, technologies that afford safe and effective abortion are well accepted and provide relief from a great difficulty. Many women fear surgery and will go far to avoid it. There is substantial apprehension about general anesthesia during surgery and also fear that local anesthesia may not prevent pain. This leads to a high demand for a medical abortion alternative. Some women consider that the quick and definitive surgical alternative is easier; some find that swallowing a pill is easier. Privacy is greatly valued. Medical abortion technology seems to meet this need more than surgical abortion, especially if the surgical alternative mandates hospital admission and absence from home. The high values placed on privacy, autonomy, and the wish to be able to be at home combine, in at least some settings, to create a demand for a self-administered home treatment for early abortion. Given a choice between surgery and any of several medical abortion methods, most eligible women appear to prefer the medical method.
