Purpose: Duration and severity of exposure to excess adipose tissue are important risk factors for complications, but are generally not examined in conjunction. We developed a metric considering both factors to examine the relationship between obesity-related complications and parameters of cardiometabolic health in patients undergoing a metabolic bariatric procedure (MBS).
Materials & Methods: Data from patients screened for primary MBS between 2017 and 2021 were analyzed.
Background: Remote monitoring is increasingly used to support postoperative care. This study aimed to describe the lessons learned from the use of telemonitoring in an outpatient bariatric surgery pathway.
Materials And Methods: Patients were assigned based on their preference to an intervention cohort of same-day discharge after bariatric surgery.
Background: Non-AT-III mediated heparin-resistance during CPB occurs by complex-forming with heparin-binding proteins. Currently, there are no specific recommendations for non-AT-III mediated heparin-resistance.
Case Presentation: We present a fatal case of a 70-yr-old male-patient undergoing cardiac-surgery in which refractory heparin-resistance was observed.
Background: Continuous monitoring of vital parameters after bariatric surgery can detect postoperative bleeding or anastomotic leakage.
Objectives: This report describes the development of a continuous remote early warning score (CREWS). This is an EWS-based notification protocol for deterioration detection in bariatric patients.
