Non-Invasive Monitoring during Caesarean Delivery: Prevalence of Hypotension and Impact on the Newborn.

Background: The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of perioperative hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section using non-invasive continuous hemodynamic monitoring and its correlation with neonatal well-being.

Methods: We included 145 patients. Spinal anesthesia was performed with a combination of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.

Proactive Management of Intraoperative Hypotension Reduces Biomarkers of Organ Injury and Oxidative Stress during Elective Non-Cardiac Surgery: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Intraoperative hypotension is associated with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Methods: We randomly assigned patients undergoing major general surgery to early warning system (EWS) and hemodynamic algorithm (intervention group, = 20) or standard care ( = 20). The primary outcome was the difference in hypotension (defined as mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg) and as secondary outcome surrogate markers of organ injury and oxidative stress.

Prevalence of burnout among intensive care physicians: a systematic review.

Objective: We performed a systematic review to summarize the knowledge regarding the prevalence of burnout among intensive care unit physicians.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the MEDLINE and PubMed® databases (last update 04.02.

Perioperative Goal-Directed Therapy during Kidney Transplantation: An Impact Evaluation on the Major Postoperative Complications.

Background: Kidney transplantation is considered the first-choice therapy in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Despite recent improvements in terms of outcomes and graft survival in recipients, postoperative complications still concern the health-care providers involved in the management of those patients. Particularly challenging are cardiovascular complications.

Epilepsy in Children: From Diagnosis to Treatment with Focus on Emergency.

Seizures are defined as a transient occurrence of signs and symptoms due to the abnormal, excessive, or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain characterized by abrupt and involuntary skeletal muscle activity. An early diagnosis, treatment, and specific medical support must be performed to prevent Status Epilepticus (SE). Seizure onset, especially in the child population, is related to specific risk factors like positive family history, fever, infections, neurological comorbidity, premature birth, mother's alcohol abuse, and smoking in pregnancy.
