Automated feedback modestly improves perioperative treatment adherence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Study Objective: Extensive evidence demonstrates that medical record modernization and a vast amount of available data have not overcome the gap between recommended and delivered care. This study aimed to evaluate the use of clinical decision support (CDS) in conjunction with feedback (post-hoc reporting) to improve PONV medication administration compliance and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) outcomes.

Design: Single center, prospective observational study between January 1, 2015, and June 30, 2017.

ACGME Case Log Reminder Does Not Improve Resident Accuracy in Logging Cases.

To assess competency of residents prior to graduation, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) maintains a case log system, where residents self-report cases they perform. This mechanism results in underreporting of resident involvement in patient care. To determine if an intraoperative case log reminder would increase the frequency of ACGME case logging amongst anesthesiology residents.

Outcomes of sinonasal mucosal melanomas with endoscopic and open resection: a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of Sinonasal Mucosal Melanomas (SNMM) treated with endoscopic and open resection.

Methods: A retrospective case review of 20 patients with SNMM treated surgically at UCSF. Kaplan-Meier analyses were calculated to determine outcome differences in endoscopic vs.

Risk factors for cerebrospinal leak after endoscopic skull base reconstruction with nasoseptal flap.

Objective: The use of expanded endonasal surgery (EES) in the treatment of skull base neoplasms has increased significantly in recent years. Since 2006, the nasoseptal flap (NSF) has become the workhorse for the closure of skull base defects involving the anterior and central skull base. We hypothesized that defect site impacts the rate of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak following EES.
