Evaluation of glomerular filtration rate using iohexol plasma clearance in critically ill patients with augmented renal creatinine clearance: A single-centre retrospective study
CONCLUSION
In the present study, we found that in patients with augmented renal creatinine clearance, half of the patients do not have hyperfiltration using iohexol clearance measurements. We observed an important bias between 6 h CrCl and GFRio with large LoA. In critically patients with ARC, 6 h CrCl does not reliably estimate GFR and 6 h CrCl nearly systematically overestimates renal function. Comparison of creatinine-based GFR estimations and GFRio show acceptable bias but wide LoA. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

An analysis of prehospital critical care events and management patterns from 97 539 emergency helicopter medical service missions: A retrospective registry-based study
CONCLUSION
Prehospital exposure is distributed unevenly, and some physicians receive limited exposure to prehospital critical care. This seems to be associated with differences in practice patterns. Rare HEMS patient contacts may be associated with increased mortality. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

Effects of two stepwise lung recruitment strategies on respiratory function and haemodynamics in anaesthetised pigs: A randomised crossover study
BACKGROUND
Lung recruitment manoeuvres and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can improve lung function during general anaesthesia. Different recruitment manoeuvre strategies have been described in large international trials: in the protective ventilation using high vs. low PEEP (PROVHILO) strategy, tidal volume (VT) was increased during volume-controlled ventilation; in the individualised peri-operative open-lung approach vs. standard protective ventilation in abdominal surgery (iPROVE) strategy, PEEP was increased during pressure-controlled ventilation.
OBJECTIVES
To compare the effects of the PROVHILO st...

Hidden sources of fluids, sodium and potassium in stabilised Swedish ICU patients: A multicentre retrospective observational study
CONCLUSION
Maintenance and drug fluids far exceeded resuscitative fluids in ICU patients beyond the resuscitative phase. This excess fluid intake, in conjunction with high urinary output and treatment for fluid offload in almost all patients, suggests that a large volume of the maintenance fluids given was unnecessary.

Agreement between continuous noninvasive finger cuff-derived and invasive arterial blood pressure measurements: Effect of data sampling and data processing
CONCLUSION
Data sampling and data processing substantially impact the results of comparative statistics in method comparison studies of continuous AP monitoring systems. Depending on the method used for data sampling and data processing, the performance of an AP test method may be considered clinically acceptable or unacceptable.

Expert consensus on peri-operative myocardial injury screening in noncardiac surgery: A literature review
Peri-operative myocardial injury, detected by dynamic and elevated cardiac troponin (cTn) concentrations, is a common complication of noncardiac surgery that is strongly associated with 30-day mortality. Although active screening for peri-operative myocardial injury has been suggested in recent guidelines, clinical implementation remains tentative due to a lack of examples on how to tackle such an interdisciplinary project at a local level. Moreover, consensus on which assay and cTn cut-off values should be used has not yet been reached, and guidance on whom to screen is lacking. In this article, we aim to summarise local ...

Pre-operative N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide for prediction of acute kidney injury after noncardiac surgery: A retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with poor outcomes after noncardiac surgery. Whether pre-operative N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) predicts AKI after noncardiac surgery is unclear.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the predictive role of pre-operative NT-proBNP on postoperative AKI.
DESIGN
Retrospective cohort study.
SETTING
Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, China.
PATIENTS
Adult patients who had a serum creatinine and NT-proBNP measurement within 30 pre-operative days and at least one serum creatinine measurement within 7 days after noncardiac su...

The objectives were to assess the frequency of moderate to severe anaemia and its association with length of hospital stay.
DESIGN
Post hoc analysis of the international observational prospective ‘Local ASsessment of VEntilatory management during General Anaesthesia for Surgery’ (LAS VEGAS) study.
PATIENTS AND SETTING
The current analysis included adult patients requiring general anaesthesia for non-cardiac surgery. Preoperative anaemia was defined as a haemoglobin concentration of 11 g dl−1 or lower, thus including moderate and severe anaemia according to World Health Organisation crite...

The synergistic effect of dexmedetomidine on propofol for paediatric deep sedation: A randomised trial
CONCLUSION
The combination of dexmedetomidine and propofol for paediatric procedural sedation achieved a significant reduction in median propofol dose and a slightly shorter median time to discharge from PACU. Large-scale studies may determine whether this reduction decreases the risk of significant adverse events.

Effect of dexmedetomidine on Nociception Level Index-guided remifentanil antinociception: A randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSION
In ASA 1 and 2 patients receiving Nociception Level Index-guided antinociception, dexmedetomidine decreases intra-operative remifentanil requirements. Combined frontal electroencephalogram and Nociception Level Index monitoring can measure dexmedetomidine's hypnotic and opioid-sparing effects during remifentanil-propofol target-controlled infusion anaesthesia.

Assessing the antinociceptive effect of nitrous oxide to tetanic stimulation in anaesthetised patients with new intra-operative nociception monitors: An observational study
CONCLUSION
In anaesthetised patients, our study demonstrated clinically significant antinociceptive properties of N2O. Our results showed that low concentrations of N2O (25%) are as effective as higher concentrations (50%) to achieve a significant antinociceptive effect. These findings may help decrease negative effects of using higher concentrations of N2O, including its side effects and its environmental pollution.

Mode of blood pressure monitoring and morbidity after noncardiac surgery: A prospective multicentre observational cohort study
BACKGROUND
Control of blood pressure remains a key goal of peri-operative care, because hypotension is associated with adverse outcomes after surgery.
OBJECTIVES
We explored whether increased vigilance afforded by intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring may be associated with less morbidity after surgery.
DESIGN
A prospective observational cohort study.
SETTING
Four UK secondary care hospitals.
PATIENTS
A total of 4342 patients ≥45 years who underwent noncardiac surgery.
METHODS
We compared outcome of patients who received peri-operative intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring ...

The effect of moderate intraoperative blood loss and norepinephrine therapy on sublingual microcirculatory perfusion in patients having open radical prostatectomy: An observational study
BACKGROUND
It is not clear whether moderate intraoperative blood loss and norepinephrine used to restore the macrocirculation impair the microcirculation and affect microcirculation/macrocirculation coherence.

Prediction of fluid responsiveness using lung recruitment manoeuvre in paediatric patients receiving lung-protective ventilation: A prospective observational study
BACKGROUND
Pressure-based dynamic variables are poor predictors of fluid responsiveness in children, and their predictability is expected to reduce further during lung-protective ventilation with a low tidal volume.
OBJECTIVE
We hypothesised that lung recruitment manoeuvre (LRM)-induced changes in dynamic variables improve their ability to predict fluid responsiveness in children.
DESIGN
Prospective observational study.
SETTING
Tertiary care children's hospital, single-centre study performed from June 2017 to May 2019.
PATIENTS
We included patients less than 7 years of age undergoing cardiac...

Effect of fluid resuscitation on cerebral integrity: A prospective randomised porcine study of haemorrhagic shock
BACKGROUND
The treatment of haemorrhagic shock is a challenging task. Colloids have been regarded as standard treatment, but their safety and benefit have been the subject of controversial debates. Negative effects, including renal failure and increased mortality, have resulted in restrictions on their administration. The cerebral effects of different infusion regimens are largely unknown.
