Predicting postoperative complications with the respiratory exchange ratio after high-risk noncardiac surgery: A prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND
The respiratory exchange ratio (RER), defined as the ratio of CO2 production (VCO2) to O2 consumption (VO2), is reported to be a noninvasive marker of anaerobic metabolism. The intubated, ventilated patient's inspired and expired fractions of O2 and CO2 (FiO2, FeO2, FiCO2 and FeCO2) are monitored in the operating room and can be used to calculate RER.
OBJECTIVE
To investigating the ability of the RER to predict postoperative complications.
DESIGN
An observational, prospective study.
SETTING
Two French university hospitals between March 2017 and September 2018.
PATIENTS
A total of 110 patients under...

Effects of intra-operative positive end-expiratory pressure setting guided by oesophageal pressure measurement on oxygenation and respiratory mechanics during laparoscopic gynaecological surgery: A randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND
The creation of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery can lead to adverse effects on the respiratory system. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) plays an important role in mechanical ventilation during laparoscopic surgery.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate whether PEEP setting guided by oesophageal pressure (Poeso) measurement would affect oxygenation and respiratory mechanics during laparoscopic gynaecological surgery.
DESIGN
A randomised controlled study.
SETTING
A single-centre trial from March 2018 to June 2018.

Development and performance testing of the low-cost, 3D-printed, smartphone-compatible ‘Tansen Videolaryngoscope’ vs. Pentax-AWS videolaryngoscope vs. direct Macintosh laryngoscope: A manikin study
BACKGROUND
While videolaryngoscopes help in the management of difficult airways, they remain too expensive for those with limited resources. We have developed a robust, re-usable, low-cost videolaryngoscope at United Mission Hospital Tansen, Nepal, by combining a smartphone-compatible endoscope capable of capturing still and video images with a three dimensional-printed, channelled, hyperangulated blade. The computer-aided design file for the videolaryngoscope blade was emailed and printed in London before evaluation of its performance on a difficult airway manikin.
OBJECTIVE
To benchmark the intubation performance of...

Genetic variability in postoperative nausea and vomiting: A systematic review
CONCLUSION
There is a genetic susceptibility to the development of PONV. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the CHRM3 rs2165870 and the KCNB2 rs349358 SNP, seem to have a major influence on PONV incidence, at least in Caucasians. Both SNPs were primarily identified in a GWAS and this association may lead to a better understanding of the disease aetiology. Further high-quality studies are needed to reveal more insights in genetic PONV susceptibility, particularly so in non-Caucasian ethnicities. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

Presepsin for pre-operative prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events in coronary heart disease patients undergoing noncardiac surgery: Post hoc analysis of the Leukocytes and Cardiovascular Peri-operative Events-2 (LeukoCAPE-2) Study
CONCLUSION
Increased pre-operative presepsin independently predicted 30-day MACCE in CAD patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery. Complementing cardiovascular risk prediction by inflammatory biomarkers, such as presepsin, offers potential to improve peri-operative care. However, as prediction accuracy of presepsin was only moderate, further validation studies are needed.

U-shaped relationship between pre-operative plasma fibrinogen levels and severe peri-operative bleeding in cardiac surgery
CONCLUSION
We reported a U-shaped relationship between severe peri-operative bleeding and pre-operative fibrinogen levels. While a low-level of fibrinogen appears to be associated with a high risk of bleeding, a high level does not necessarily protect the patient against such a risk and could even be a risk factor for peri-operative bleeding.

Comparison of fresh frozen plasma vs. coagulation factor concentrates for reconstitution of blood: An in vitro study
BACKGROUND
Many trauma centres have adopted the administration of fixed ratios of packed red blood cells (PRBCs), platelet concentrates and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for bleeding patients. However, the haemostatic efficacy of this concept is not well proven.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to characterise the haemostatic profile of different ratios (2 : 1 : 1, 1 : 1 : 1 and 1 : 1 : 2) of PRBCs, platelet concentrates and FFP in comparison with coagulation factor concentrates (fibrinogen and/or prothrombin complex concentrate).

Development and validation of an instrument to measure nursing workload in the postanaesthesia care unit: An observational study
BACKGROUND
There are no instruments specifically developed for the measurement of nursing workload in postanaesthesia care units (PACUs). An objective and valid instrument is essential for planning work flow and staffing in this unique hospital environment that encompasses elements of elective and acute postsurgical care. Previous studies show that increased workload is associated with increased complication rates in ICUs. Thus, workload assessment may be an important tool for improving postsurgical outcomes.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a postanaesthesia workload instrument (PAWI) for m...

Erroneous neuraxial administration of neuromuscular blocking drugs: Clinical and human factors analysis
CONCLUSION
Following the epidural injection of NMBDs the effects are delayed and prolonged. There was no serious morbidity reported following neuraxial administration of the NMBDs used in current practice. Perceptual errors resulting in incorrect syringe choice were the commonest cause. Four measures can be introduced to reduce such errors. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

Pre-induction checklists and discomfort in patients. An observational study
CONCLUSION
Patients experience far less discomfort observing the use of pre-induction checklists than anaesthesia providers expect. Patients value the potential safety benefit significantly higher than anaesthesia providers. These results further support the implementation of peri-operative checklists in the operating room environment.

Prophylactic norepinephrine infusion or leg wrapping for postspinal hypotension in elective caesarean delivery: A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
BACKGROUND
Because of its alpha and beta agonist properties, norepinephrine infusion is currently being studied for the prevention of spinal hypotension during caesarean delivery. Vasopressor infusions are not always possible if there is an unavailability of infusion pumps. Leg wrapping with crepe bandage is an effective technique for prevention of postspinal hypotension and could be useful in resource-poor settings.
