TCI Versus Manual TIVA for Sedation During Prone Kyphoplasty: Effects on Respiration, Recovery, and EEG

This single-center, prospective, observational study compares target-controlled infusion (TCI) versus manually administered total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) for sedation in patients undergoing kyphoplasty in the prone position. The primary endpoints are the incidence of hypoxic episodes (SpO₂ \< 90%) and apneic attacks. Secondary endpoints include anesthesia quality scores, integrated pulmonary index (IPI) values, total propofol consumption, time to eye opening, time to full orientation, Modified Aldrete Scores and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) scores in the recovery unit, and patient and surgeon satisfaction.

A Prospective, Single-center, Observational Clinical Outcomes Study for Vertebral Compression Fractures Treated With the OsteoPearl Biological Allograft Implants

The primary objective of this observational study is to evaluate fracture stability through longitudinal assessment of subject-reported pain following treatment with the OsteoPearl Biological Allograft in men and women aged ≥50 years. The primary research question is: Does treatment with the OsteoPearl Biological Allograft reduce pain in men and women aged ≥50 years undergoing vertebral compression fracture procedures? Participants who are already undergoing kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty as part of standard clinical care for vertebral compression fracture will complete a pain questionnaire over a 30-day follow-up period.
