Efficacy of navigation system-assisted distraction osteogenesis for hemifacial microsomia based on artificial intelligence for 3 to 18  years old: study protocol for a randomized controlled single-blind trial
This study aims to clarify the effect of the EM navigation system in improving the MDO accuracy for hemifacial microsomia patients.MethodsThis study is designed as a single-centered and randomized controlled trial. Altogether, 22 hemifacial microsomia patients are randomly assigned to the experiment and control groups. All patients receive three-dimensional CT scans and preoperative surgical plans. The EM navigation system will be set up for those in the experiment group, and the control group will undergo traditional surgery. The primary outcome is the surgical precision by comparing the osteotomy position of pre- and pos...

Comparison of the effects of esketamine, sufentanil, or lidocaine combined with propofol on tussis reflection during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy: study protocol for a randomised, two centre, three-blind, controlled trial
DiscussionEsketamine can reduce tussis occurrence with good tolerability and relax the bronchus and also provides high clearance rates and low possibility of adverse reactions. We aim to demonstrate that the combination of esketamine with propofol for sedation in patients subjected to upper GI procedure is nevertheless superior to only administration of propofol or a combination of propofol with other anaesthetics, such as opioids or lidocaine.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov.NCT05497492, Registered 09 August 2022.

Effects of individualized positive end-expiratory pressure on intraoperative oxygenation in thoracic surgical patients: study protocol for a prospective randomized controlled trial
This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, single-blind, single-center trial. A total of 112 patients undergoing thoracoscopic pneumonectomy surgery and OLV will be enrolled in the study. They will be randomized into two groups: the static lung compliance guided iPEEP titration group (Cst-iPEEP Group) and the constant 5 cmH2O PEEP group (PEEP 5 Group). The primary outcome will be the oxygenation index at 30 min after OLV and titration. Secondary outcomes are oxygenation index at other operative time points, PPCs, postoperative adverse events, ventilator parameters, vital signs, pH value, inflammatory factors, and ...

Comparison between the mesenteric fixation method (MEFIX) and conventional methods at preventing the occurrence of Petersen ’s hernia: a study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial
This study aims to compare the incidence of bowel obstruction above Clavien–Dindo classification grade III due to Petersen’s hernia between the mesenteric fixation method and the conventional methods after laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy.MethodsThis study was designed as prospective, single-blind, non-inferiority randomized controlled multicenter trial in Korea. Patients with histologically diagnosed gastric cancer of clinical stages I, II, or III who underwent B-II or REY anastomosis after laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy are enrolled in this study.

REtinal Detachment Outcomes Study (REDOS): study protocol for a factorial, randomized controlled trial
DiscussionThis will be the first 2  × 2 factorial RCT examining repair techniques in primary RRD. It will also be the first RCT to compare gas tamponade between the two most common agents. Notably, it will be adequately powered to detect a clinically significant effect size. The use of multimodal imaging will also be a novel asp ect of this study, allowing us to compare head-to-head the impact of adding an SB to the retina’s recovery after RRD repair and of differing gas tamponades. Until now, the treatment of RRD has been largely guided by pragmatic retrospective cohort studies. There is a lack of strong evidence g...

Effects of opioid-free anaesthesia on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (OFA-PONV trial): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
DiscussionThe benefit-risk of OFA for patients after operation is contradictory in previous studies, so further study is required. This trial will focus on the effect of OFA on the incidence of PONV in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. This trial adopts uniformed PONV and perioperative pain management, standardised randomised and blind, clear-cut inclusion and exclusion criteria, and standardised scales to assess the severity of PONV after surgery, the quality of postoperative recovery, and the health status at 6  months. The findings of this study will help to provide references to promote early recovery of pati...
