Effect of an ultrasound-guided lung recruitment manoeuvre on postoperative atelectasis in children: A randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSION
Ultrasound-guided lung recruitment may be more effective than the conventional procedure in terms of the prevention of intra-operative atelectasis and postoperative desaturation; however, its beneficial effects on postoperative atelectasis remain unclear. An inspiratory airway pressure of more than 30 cmH2O is required for full recruitment of alveoli in healthy children.

Role of TFA-1 adhesive forehead sensors in predicting fluid responsiveness in anaesthetised children: A prospective cohort study
CONCLUSION
The PVI of TFA-1 forehead sensor is a good alternative, but is not superior to the finger sensor and ΔVpeak in evaluating fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated children under general anaesthesia.

Towards integrative neuromonitoring of the surgical newborn: A systematic review
CONCLUSION
Neuromonitoring with the techniques currently used will neither help our understanding of the altered neonatal pathophysiology, nor enable early detection of deviation from the norm. The modalities lack specificity and are not related to clinical (long-term) outcome or prognosis. Accordingly, we were unable to draw up a monitoring guideline.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation following emergency noncardiothoracic surgery: A systematic review
CONCLUSION
In this study, atrial fibrillation occurred frequently, especially following emergency orthopaedic, vascular and neurosurgery. Emergency surgery and age were independent risk factors for developing atrial fibrillation. POAF seems to be related to a higher risk of postoperative complications and mortality, though further studies with long-term follow-up are needed.

The impact of peri-operative intravenous lidocaine on postoperative outcome after elective colorectal surgery: A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
CONCLUSION
This meta-analysis provides some support for the administration of peri-operative IVL infusion in elective colorectal surgery. However, further evidence is necessary to fully elucidate its potential benefits in light of the high levels of study heterogeneity and mixed quality of methodology.

Improvement in pre-operative risk assessment in adults undergoing noncardiac surgery by a process-oriented score: A prospective single-centre study
CONCLUSION
The PRO-score detected warning signs in ‘healthy’ ASA-PS 1 or 2 and in ASA-PS 3 or 4 patients. Furthermore, it influenced the management of these patients, and thus improved the process quality of risk assessment. The physical examination should include the assessment of vital signs.

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.

PATIENTS
Adults scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
INTERVENTION
Sonographic evaluation of the SCV or the axillary vein (SCV-AV) before induction of anaesthesia.

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

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...
