Article Synopsis
- Preoperative criteria for ICU admission after major liver surgery are not well-defined, often relying on anesthesiologists' judgment, particularly highlighted during ICU shortages in the COVID-19 pandemic.
- This study retrospectively analyzed outcomes from two periods: one during the pandemic when ICU beds were restricted (November 2020 to May 2021) and one pre-pandemic (November 2018 to October 2020) to evaluate the impact on surgery outcomes.
- Results showed no significant differences in complications, length of hospital stay, or readmission rates between the two periods, indicating that the ICU bed shortage did not adversely affect early outcomes following major liver surgery.
Background: Empathy is a key element of "Patient and Family Centered Care", a clinical approach recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. However, there is a lack of validated tools to evaluate paediatrician empathy. This study aimed to validate the Visual CARE Measure, a patient rated questionnaire measuring physician empathy, in the setting of a Pediatric Emergency Department (ED).
