The Effect of Intraoperative Fluid Management According to Stroke Volume Variation on Postoperative Bowel Function Recovery in Colorectal Cancer Surgery
J Clin Med. 2021 Apr 25;10(9):1857. doi: 10.3390/jcm10091857.ABSTRACTStroke volume variation (SVV) has been used to predict fluid responsiveness; however, it remains unclear whether goal-directed fluid therapy using SVV contributes to bowel function recovery in abdominal surgery. This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to compare bowel movement recovery in patients undergoing colon resection surgery between groups using traditional or SVV-based methods for intravenous fluid management. We collected data between March 2015 and July 2017. Bowel function recovery was analyzed based on the gas-passing time, sips of ...

Optimizing Acute Pain Management in the Obese Patient: Treatment and Monitoring Considerations
THE CHALLENGES OF PROVIDING SAFE AND EFFECTIVE pain management for patients with obesity are present throughout the perioperative setting. Obesity is associated with chronic medical comorbidities, such as coronary artery disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and type 2 diabetes.1 Other obesity-associated comorbidities include breast, endometrial, ovarian, colorectal, esophageal, kidney, pancreatic, and prostate cancers, chronic back pain, and osteoarthritis.1 The demand for bariatric surgery has risen markedly in recent years with the total number of surgeries performed in the United St...

Multidisciplinary approach and anesthetic management of a surgical cancer patient with methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency: a case report and review of the literature
Conclusions Neoplastic disease and related surgery followed by the administration of chemotherapeutic drugs alter the hemostatic balance in cancer patients. Those suspected of also having a thrombophilic disease require a thorough laboratory diagnostic workup, including a molecular analysis aimed at identifying the genetic mutation responsible for the hyperhomocysteinemia, as indicated. The case described in this report highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach that includes expertise in peri-operative anesthesia, surgery, oncology, and hematology.
