Regionshospitalet Horsens

At Regionshospitalet Horsens investigators are testing a rapid‑acting chemical to improve outcomes after sudden heart failure, aiming to boost the chance of restoring a normal heartbeat.

• Evaluation of sodium bicarbonate during emergency resuscitation
• Measurement of return of spontaneous circulation rates
• Development of optimized in‑hospital cardiac arrest protocols

The work supports the hospital’s commitment to advancing acute cardiac care and may influence future guidelines for emergency medicine.

Researchers are comparing two minimally invasive approaches for a common hand condition, seeking a treatment that lowers the likelihood of the finger bending again.

• Use of Percutaneous Needle Fasciotomy combined with corticosteroid injection
• Comparison with saline injection as a control
• Assessment of long‑term joint extension and recurrence rates

This trial reflects the department’s focus on improving functional outcomes for patients with Dupuytren Contracture.

While current studies target heart and hand disorders, the orthopedic team also investigates how needle‑based procedures affect fibrotic tissue, a key factor in many skin and connective‑tissue conditions.

• Analysis of fibrotic tissue remodeling after needle intervention
• Exploration of adjunct pharmacologic injections to modulate scar formation
• Integration of minimally invasive techniques with connective‑tissue healing research

These efforts broaden the site’s expertise in treating disorders that involve abnormal tissue growth and repair.
