Dexamethasone for the treatment of established postoperative nausea and vomiting: A: randomised dose finding trial
BACKGROUND Dexamethasone is widely used for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) but little is known about its efficacy for the treatment of established PONV. OBJECTIVE To test the antiemetic efficacy of intravenous dexamethasone for the treatment of established PONV in adults undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia and to determine whether there is dose-responsiveness. DESIGN The DexPonv trial is a multicentre, placebo-controlled, randomised, double-blind, dose-finding study. Inclusion of patients was between September 2012 and November 2017. Follow-up for PONV symptoms was for...

Time to source control and outcome in community-acquired intra-abdominal infections: The multicentre observational PERICOM study
CONCLUSION This multicentre observational study revealed that the time to surgical source control, patient severity and generalized peritonitis were identified as independent risk factors for increased hospital LOS and mortality in community-acquired IAI. Organisational strategies to reduce the time to surgical management of intra-abdominal infections should be further evaluated. STUDY REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov on 1 April 2018, NCT03544203.

Contemporary use of antimicrobial prophylaxis for surgical patients: An observational cohort study
CONCLUSION Antimicrobial prophylaxis was administered for almost all the surgical procedures under investigation. However, this was not always compliant with guidelines. Further research is required to determine whether the amount of prophylactic antimicrobials could be safely and effectively reduced without increasing the incidence of SSI.

Effects of dexmedetomidine, propofol, sevoflurane and S-ketamine on the human metabolome: A randomised trial using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
CONCLUSION A 1-h exposure to moderate doses of routinely used anaesthetics led to significant and characteristic alterations in the metabolic profile. Dexmedetomidine-induced alterations mirror a2-adrenoceptor agonism. Propofol emulsion altered the lipid profile. The inertness of sevoflurane might prove useful in vulnerable patients. S-ketamine induced amino acid alterations might be linked to its suggested antidepressive properties.

Neurodevelopmetal effects of maternal blood pressure management with noradrenaline during general anaesthesia for nonobstetric surgery in the pregnant rabbit model
CONCLUSION During general anaesthesia for nonobstetric surgery in rabbits, treatment of anaesthesia-induced hypotension using noradrenaline did not affect neuron densities but was associated with impaired foetal outcomes according to several secondary outcome parameters. Further studies are needed to investigate any clinical relevance and to determine the target blood pressure in pregnant women during general anaesthesia.KEY POINTSIn pregnant women, anaesthesia-induced hypotension is commonly treated using phenylephrine or noradrenaline, with the rationale to maintain uterine perfusion pressure and thereby uterine bloo...

The analgesic efficacy of intravenous dexamethasone for post-caesarean pain: A systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis
BACKGROUND Analgesic efficacy of intravenous dexamethasone has not been well defined after caesarean delivery. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of peri-operative dexamethasone administration on postoperative pain after caesarean delivery. OBJECTIVES We investigated the impact of perioperative intravenous dexamethasone on postoperative pain after caesarean delivery. The two primary outcomes of interest were early (4 to 6 h) resting pain scores and time to first rescue analgesia. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). ...

No pain management for labour: individual and organisational determinants: A secondary analysis of the 2016 French National Perinatal Survey
BACKGROUND Disparities in access to pain management have been identified in several care settings, such as emergency departments and intensive care units, but with regard to labour analgesia, it remains poorly explored. OBJECTIVES To determine the proportion of women without pain management during labour and its individual and organisational determinants. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a nationwide cross-sectional population-based study, the 2016 French National Perinatal Survey. SETTINGS All maternity units in France. PARTICIPANTS Ten thousand and eleven women who attempted vaginal delivery w...
