Ten years of the Helsinki Declaration on patient safety in anaesthesiology: An expert opinion on peri-operative safety aspects
Patient safety is an activity to mitigate preventable patient harm that may occur during the delivery of medical care. The European Board of Anaesthesiology (EBA)/European Union of Medical Specialists had previously published safety recommendations on minimal monitoring and postanaesthesia care, but with the growing public and professional interest it was decided to produce a much more encompassing document. The EBA and the European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) published a consensus on what needs to be done/achieved for improvement of peri-operative patient safety. During the Euroanaesthesia meeting in Helsinki/Finland...

Goal-directed therapy with bolus albumin 5% is not superior to bolus ringer acetate in maintaining systemic and mesenteric oxygen delivery in major upper abdominal surgery: A randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSION
Bolus human albumin 5% was not superior to bolus ringer acetate in maintaining systemic or mesenteric oxygen delivery in elective major upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery, despite the administration of larger volumes of trial fluid in the ringer acetate group. No significant difference was seen in fluid-related complications or LOS.

Internal carotid artery blood flow is enhanced by elevating blood pressure during combined propofol-remifentanil and thoracic epidural anaesthesia: A randomised cross-over trial
BACKGROUND
Anaesthesia reduces mean arterial pressure (MAP), and to preserve organ perfusion, vasopressors are often used to maintain MAP above 60 mmHg. Cognitive dysfunction is common following major surgery and may relate to intra-operative cerebral hypoperfusion.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether internal carotid artery (ICA) blood flow increases when MAP is kept higher than 60 mmHg using noradrenaline.
DESIGN
A randomised, cross-over trial.
SETTING
Department of Anaesthesia, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark, from December 2017 to April 2018.

Pre-anaesthesia ultrasonography of the subclavian/infraclavicular axillary vein for predicting hypotension after inducing general anaesthesia: A prospective observational study
We examined whether the preoperative diameter and collapsibility index of the SCV or the infraclavicular axillary vein could predict the incidence of hypotension after induction of general anaesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
DESIGN
Prospective, observational study.
SETTING
Tertiary university hospital.
PATIENTS
Adults scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
INTERVENTION
Sonographic evaluation of the SCV or the axillary vein (SCV-AV) before induction of anaesthesia.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
The main outcome was the association between the SCV-AV measurements (diameter an collapsi...

DESIGN
A randomised controlled study.
SETTING
Tertiary hospital, Seongnam, Korea, from January 2018 to January 2019.

The effects of doxapram on time to tracheal extubation and early recovery in young morbidly obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery: A randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND
Bariatric surgery is a well established treatment of the obese. Postoperative respiratory failure and airway obstruction after bariatric surgery can often be attributed to the residual depressant effects of anaesthetics, sedatives and opioids. Peri-operative management of morbidly obese patients is still a concern for operating room professionals.
OBJECTIVE
The evaluation of the effects of doxapram on the outcomes of general anaesthesia following bariatric surgical procedures in the morbidly obese.
DESIGN
A single-blind randomised controlled trial with two parallel arms.
SETTING
A tertiary care teachi...

European Section/Board of Anaesthesiology/European Society of Anaesthesiology consensus statement on competency-based education and training in anaesthesiology
The change from time-based to competency-based medical education has been driven by society's requirement for greater accountability of medical practitioners and those who train them. The European Society of Anaesthesiology and European Section/Board of Anaesthesiology (Anaesthesiology Section of the European Union Medical Specialists) endorse the general principles of competency-based medical education and training (CBMET) outlined by the international competency-based medical education collaborators. A CBMET curriculum is built on unambiguously defined learning objectives, each of which offers a measurable outcome, amena...

Sevoflurane sedation attenuates early cerebral oedema formation through stabilisation of the adherens junction protein beta catenin in a model of subarachnoid haemorrhage: A randomised animal study
CONCLUSION
This experiment demonstrates that low-dose short-term sevoflurane sedation after SAH in vivo did not affect ICP and MAP and at the same time may attenuate early brain oedema formation, potentially by preserving adherens junctions.

The effectiveness of a low-dose esketamine versus an alfentanil adjunct to propofol sedation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: A randomised controlled multicentre trial
BACKGROUND
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is one of the most complex gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. Currently, it is still unclear which sedation regimen best facilitates an ERCP. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist esketamine has anaesthetic, analgesic and sympathomimetic properties and is known to cause less cardiorespiratory depression than other sedatives. It could therefore be an ideal adjunct to propofol for deep sedation.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the effectiveness of esketamine versus alfentanil as an adjunct to propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) for deep sedation duri...

Simulated patient-based teaching of medical students improves pre-anaesthetic assessment: A rater-blinded randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSION
The current single teaching encounter with a trained layperson acting as a simulated patient improved medical student performances in their pre-anaesthetic clinical assessment of surgical patients. This might be a suitable alternative to reduce the teaching burden for busy and costly clinicians. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

Intra-operative norepinephrine administration and cancer-related outcomes following radical cystectomy for bladder cancer: A cohort study
CONCLUSION
Continuous administration of more than 2 μg kg BW−1 h−1 norepinephrine was associated with a slightly increased hazard ratio for tumour recurrence if adjusted for intra-operative variables and year of surgery. This observation could reflect a low potential pro-oncogenic effect of norepinephrine during the intra-operative period.

European Society of Anaesthesiology guidelines on peri-operative use of ultrasound-guided for vascular access (PERSEUS vascular access)
Ultrasound for diagnostic and procedural purposes is becoming a standard in daily clinical practice including anaesthesiology and peri-operative medicine. The project of European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) Task Force for the development of clinical guidelines on the PERioperative uSE of Ultra-Sound (PERSEUS) project has focused on the use of ultrasound in two areas that account for the majority of procedures performed routinely in the operating room: vascular access and regional anaesthesia. Given the extensive literature available in these two areas, this paper will focus on the use of ultrasound-guidance for vascul...
