Personality in anaesthesiologists, a systematic review of the literature
CONCLUSION Those personality traits that predict performance, stress or mental health in anaesthesiologists, also predict performance, stress or mental health in other high demand/high stakes environments (both medical and nonmedical). The ideal anaesthesiologist would be lower on Neuroticism, higher on Extraversion and higher on Conscientiousness. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

Burnout in anaesthesiology residents: A systematic review of its prevalence and stressors
CONCLUSION Burnout is common amongst anaesthesiology residents. Standardised tools and diagnostic criteria are needed to distinguish methodological heterogeneity from true heterogeneity in study populations. Interventions have been proposed to improve management strategies to minimise burnout anaesthesiology residents. PROSPERO REFERENCE CRD42019140472. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

Efficacy and safety of aprotinin in paediatric cardiac surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that aprotinin is effective and well tolerated in paediatric cardiac surgery. Given the large heterogeneity of the results and the risk of selection bias in observational studies, large randomised controlled trials are warranted. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

The value of bioactive adrenomedullin and dipeptidyl peptidase 3 to predict short-term unfavourable outcomes after cardiac surgery: A prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a key regulator of endothelial barrier function and vascular tone. Dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3) is a protease involved in the degradation of several cardiovascular mediators. Increased levels of bioactive ADM (bio-ADM) and circulating DPP3 (cDPP3) were found to predict short-term outcome in cardiogenic shock patients. OBJECTIVES To investigate the unknown temporal profiles of bio-ADM and cDPP3 and their association with short-term outcome following cardiac surgery. DESIGN Prospective observational study of 203 adult cardiac surgery patients admitted to the intensive car...

Effects of methylene blue on microcirculatory alterations following cardiac surgery: A prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Methylene blue is used as rescue therapy to treat catecholamine-refractory vasoplegic syndrome after cardiac surgery. However, its microcirculatory effects remain poorly documented. OBJECTIVE We aimed to study microcirculatory abnormalities in refractory vasoplegic syndrome following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and assess the effects of methylene blue. DESIGN A prospective open-label cohort study. SETTING 20-Bed ICU of a tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS 25 Adult patients receiving 1.5 mg kg−1 of methylene blue intravenously for refractory vasoplegic syndrome ...

Impact of conventional vs. goal-directed fluid therapy on urethral tissue perfusion in patients undergoing liver surgery: A pilot randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND Although fluid administration is a key strategy to optimise haemodynamic status and tissue perfusion, optimal fluid administration during liver surgery remains controversial. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that a goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) strategy, when compared with a conventional fluid strategy, would better optimise systemic blood flow and lead to improved urethral tissue perfusion (a new variable to assess peripheral blood flow), without increasing blood loss. DESIGN Single-centre prospective randomised controlled superiority study. SETTING Erasme Hospital. PATIENTS ...

Intra-operative hypertension and myocardial injury and/or mortality and acute kidney injury after noncardiac surgery: A retrospective cohort analysis
CONCLUSIONS There was no clinically meaningful relationship between intra-operative systolic pressure and the composite of myocardial injury and mortality, or acute kidney injury, over the range from 120 and 200 mmHg. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

Age, minimum alveolar concentration and choice of depth of sedation monitor: examining the paradox of age when using the Narcotrend monitor: A secondary analysis of an observational study
BACKGROUND With an ageing global population, it is important to individualise titration of anaesthetics according to age and by measuring their effect on the brain. A recent study reported that during general surgery, the given concentration of volatile anaesthetics, expressed as a fraction of the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC fraction), decreases by around only 3% per age-decade, which is less than the 6% expected from age-adjusted MAC. Paradoxically, despite the excessive dosing, Bispectral index (BIS) values also increased. OBJECTIVE We planned to investigate the paradox of age when using the Narcotrend...
