Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and volatile anesthesia regarding their effect on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in lung resection surgery (LRS).
- A retrospective analysis of 784 LRS patients found no significant difference in PPC incidence between the TIVA and volatile anesthesia groups, but TIVA was associated with a shorter hospital stay and lower rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
- Ultimately, while both anesthetic approaches showed similar rates of PPCs and other complications, TIVA demonstrated some benefits in postoperative recovery metrics.
Objective: To investigate the influence of epidural anaesthesia and analgesia (EA) on cancer recurrence and overall survival after surgery for gastric cancer.
Study Design And Setting: A retrospective study which involved patients with stage I-III gastric cancer undergoing curative resection in a medical centre from January 2012 to December 2017 and followed up until December 2019 through electronic medical chart review. Patient demographics, anaesthetic and surgical characteristics and pathologic features were also gathered.
Background: Whether epidural anesthesia and analgesia (EA) improves long-term outcomes after pancreatic cancer surgery remains controversial. We conducted this retrospective cohort study to investigate the influence of EA on cancer recurrence and overall survival after surgery for pancreatic cancer.
Methods: We conducted an electronic medical chart review of patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent curative resection at our hospital from 2008 to 2017 and were followed up until December 2019.
Background: Whether perioperative packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion is associated with inferior long-term outcomes after stomach cancer surgery remains controversial.
Methods: This research used a retrospective cohort study. Patients with stage I~III stomach cancer undergoing tumor resection were collected at a tertiary medical center.
