How traditional and digital analytics interventions can enhance lung-protective ventilation strategies during general anaesthesia: A two-year quality improvement project analysis.

Purpose: This quality improvement project evaluated interventions implemented to enhance individual adherence to a lung-protective ventilation strategy and its triad: low tidal volume, PEEP ≥ 5, recruitment manoeuvres.

Methods: For two years, nine anaesthesia workstations were connected to an automated cloud-based analytics software tool, which automatically recorded ventilation parameters as soon as a new patient case was opened. Four quality improvement periods were determined over the first year: baseline, intervention, no intervention, intervention + digital.

Multimodal oral analgesia strategy after ambulatory arthroscopic shoulder surgery: case series using adaptive therapeutic approaches by sequential analysis.

Background: Pain control and quality of recovery (QoR) at home remains a challenge after ambulatory shoulder arthroscopy. This study aims to assess the QoR and pain relief using a sequential implementation strategy for rescue analgesic drugs.

Methods: After institutional review board approval, patients (>18 years, American Society of Anesthesiology [ASA] score 1-3 stable) scheduled for ambulatory surgery under general anesthesia with a single-shot interscalene nerve block were enrolled.
