Neuroprotective effects of intraoperative dexmedetomidine versus saline infusion combined with goal-directed haemodynamic therapy for patients undergoing cranial surgery: A randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS Dexmedetomidine infusion combined with GDHT may mitigate neuroinflammation without undesirable haemodynamic effects during cranial surgery and therefore be neuroprotective. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT02878707 (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

Assessment of the left ventricular outflow tract during cardiac anaesthesia with biplane transoesophageal echocardiography: An observational study
BACKGROUND Assessment of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) area is a key component of quantification of aortic stenosis and stroke volume. Current international guidelines recommend measurement of the LVOT diameter with two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography and assume a circle. This may lead to erroneous measures of aortic valve area and adversely affect peri-operative decision making. Multiplane orthogonal (biplane) and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography imaging may allow more accurate calculation of LVOT, aortic valve area and stroke volume. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the shape and area of the LVOT with co...

Comparison between capnodynamic and thermodilution method for cardiac output monitoring during major abdominal surgery: An observational study
CONCLUSION COEPBF provides continuous noninvasive CO estimation with acceptable performance, which improved after lung recruitment and PEEP adjustment, although not interchangeable with COTPTD. This method may become a tool for continuous intra-operative CO monitoring during general anaesthesia in the future. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03444545.

Evaluation of antihyperalgesic and analgesic effects of 35% nitrous oxide when combined with remifentanil: A randomised phase 1 trial in volunteers
BACKGROUND Remifentanil is an effective drug in peri-operative pain therapy, but it can also induce and aggravate hyperalgesia. Supplemental administration of N2O may help to reduce remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of 35 and 50% N2O on hyperalgesia and pain after remifentanil infusion. DESIGN Single site, phase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised crossover study. SETTING University Hospital, Germany from January 2012 to April 2012. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-one healthy male volunteers. INTERVENTIONS Transcutaneous electrical stimulation induced...

Ultrasound assessment of gastric volumes of thick fluids: Validating a prediction model
BACKGROUND Enteral nutrition is essential in the treatment of critically ill patients. Current methods to monitor enteral nutrition such as aspiration of residual volume may be inaccurate. Gastric ultrasonography estimates total gastric fluid volume using the Perlas model, but this model is validated for clear fluids only, and its accuracy for measuring thick fluids is unknown. OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the Perlas model for gastric volume estimation of enteral nutrition, a thick fluid product. DESIGN A single-centre, single blinded, randomised controlled study. SETTING ...

Intra-operative nociceptive responses and postoperative major complications after gastrointestinal surgery under general anaesthesia: A prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Surgical procedures stimulate nociception and induce physiological responses according to the balance between nociception and antinociception. The severity of surgical stimuli is associated with major postoperative complications. Although an intra-operative quantitative index representing surgical invasiveness would be useful for anaesthetic management to predict and prevent major complications, no such index is available. OBJECTIVES To identify associations between major complications after gastrointestinal surgery and intra-operative quantitative values from intra-operative nociception monitoring. ...
