Prediction of Postoperative Deterioration in Cardiac Surgery Patients using Electronic Health Record and Physiologic Waveform Data

Authors: Michael R. Mathis, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology August 2022. Background Postoperative hemodynamic deterioration among cardiac surgical patients can indicate or lead to adverse outcomes. Whereas prediction models for such events using electronic health records or physiologic waveform data are previously described, their combined value remains incompletely defined. The authors hypothesized that models incorporating electronic […]

Tidal Volume and Positive End-Expiratory Pressure and Postoperative Hypoxemia during General Anesthesia

Authors: Alparslan Turan, MD et al  Anesthesiology August 2022. Background Intraoperative mechanical ventilation is a major component of general anesthesia. The extent to which various intraoperative tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEP) on postoperative hypoxia and lung injury remains unclear. We hypothesized that adult patients having orthopedic surgery, ventilation using different tidal volumes and […]
