Background: Failure to rescue (FTR) is defined as the inability to prevent death after the development of a complication. FTR is a parameter in evaluating multidisciplinary postoperative complication management. The aim of this study was to evaluate FTR rates after major liver resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) and analyze factors associated with FTR.

These patients may benefit from surgical debulking of liver tumors in combination with chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone. (2) Methods: A retrospective study including patients evaluated for curative intent resection of CRLM was performed.

Methods: In this multicentre retrospective study, all DRAGON 0 centres provided 3-year follow-up data for all patients who had PVE/HVE or PVE, and were included in DRAGON 0 between 2016 and 2019. Kaplan-Meier analysis was undertaken to assess 3-year overall and recurrence/progression-free survival.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated whether volatile sedation with sevoflurane could protect organs in patients with severe COVID-19 lung injury experiencing a cytokine storm, particularly focusing on IL-6 levels.
- Conducted as a pilot trial in Switzerland, 60 patients requiring mechanical ventilation were randomly assigned to receive either sevoflurane or continuous intravenous sedation, with their outcomes analyzed at 28 days.
- Results showed no significant difference in primary outcomes such as mortality or persistent organ dysfunction between the two groups, but the sevoflurane group required fewer vasopressors and had higher reported acute kidney injury rates compared to controls.
