Read MoreAuthors: Guido Mazzinari, PhD et al Anesthesiology July 2024. Background The influence of high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with recruitment maneuvers on the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications after surgery is still not definitively established. Bayesian analysis can help to gain further insights from the available data and provide a probabilistic framework that is easier […]
Read MoreAuthors: Sean Coeckelenbergh, MD PhD et al Anesthesiology July 2024. Background Fluid therapy during major hepatic resection aims at minimizing fluids during the dissection phase to reduce central venous pressure (CVP), retrograde liver blood flow, and venous bleeding. This strategy, however, may lead to hyperlactatemia. The Acumen™ Assisted Fluid Management system uses novel decision support […]

Sci Transl Med 2024; 16:eadk8222. PMID: 38598612. Surgical site infection affects 1 in 30 procedures and represents the costliest complication of surgery. However, it is elusive whether surgical site infections are caused by exogenous […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kotani T, Naito Y, Sonobe S, et al. Cureus 16(8): e65976. Abstract Deep dissecting hematoma (DDH) is a disease in which minor trauma leads to the formation of an extensive hematoma. If left untreated, this can result in significant skin necrosis. Therefore, early treatment following a precise diagnosis is essential. However, the complexity of […]

Background and objective While transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is crucial in cardiac surgery, the probe insertion can be challenging. This observational study aimed to identify predictive factors associated with difficult TEE probe insertion in adult cardiac surgery patients. Methods A total of 119 adult patients undergoing […]

Read MoreAuthors: Balasubramaniam G, Vichili Mohan S, Ramamurthy B Cureus 16(8): e66106. Abstract Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) presents significant challenges in airway management and postoperative care, especially in infants undergoing cleft palate repair. The most critical task for paediatric anaesthetists is securing the airway. The presence of aero-digestive disorders makes postoperative care equally challenging, which is […]
Read MoreAuthors: Parenteau E W, Block M, Higgins D Cureus 16(8): e66097. Abstract Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication during pregnancy. The most common presenting symptoms of AFE are cardiac arrest, hemodynamic instability, and profound hemorrhage. Here, we present a case of a 28-year-old female with a past medical history of […]

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Risk prediction tools facilitate interventions, but currently used prediction algorithms may underestimate risk in emerging high-risk populations. This study analyzed two established research […]
