Efficiency of Simulation-Based Learning Using an ABC POCUS Protocol on a High-Fidelity Simulator.

Critically ill patients with rapidly deteriorating clinical status secondary to respiratory and cardio-vascular compromise are at risk for immediate collapse if the underlying pathology is not recognized and treated. Rapid diagnosis is of utmost importance regardless of the setting. Although there are data to support the use of point-of-care ultrasound in critical patients, there is no consensus about the best educational strategy to implement.

Analgesic Modalities in Patients Undergoing Open Pancreatoduodenectomy-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: This systematic review explored the efficacy of different analgesic modalities and the impact on perioperative outcome in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy.

Methods: A systematic literature search was performed on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library Database using the PRISMA framework. The primary outcome was pain scores on postoperative day one (POD1) and postoperative day two (POD2).

Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Residents' Perception of Simulation Training in Four Romanian Centres.

Introduction: Simulation training offers an opportunity to educate anaesthesia and intensive care (AIC) residents safely. At present, it is not yet a mandatory part of residency curriculum.The of the study was to evaluate the residents' perception of the inclusion of simulation-based training in the Romanian AIC residency program.

Total Intravenous Anesthesia-Target Controlled Infusion for colorectal surgery. Remifentanil TCI vs sufentanil TCI.

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to compare the effect of remifentanil and sufentanil administered for total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) using target-controlled infusion (TCI) on intraoperative hemodynamic response, tracheal intubation and extubation times in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.

Methods: Sixty patients undergoing open colorectal surgery for colorectal tumors or inflammatory diseases were randomized prospectively into one of two groups: remifentanil group R (n = 30) received TIVA-TCI with propofol and remifentanil and sufentanil group S (n = 30) received TIVA-TCI with propofol and sufentanil. Changes of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were compared during induction and maintenance of anaesthesia.

The influence of total intravenous anaesthesia and isoflurane anaesthesia on plasma interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 concentrations after colorectal surgery for cancer: a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Although it has been demonstrated that both surgery and anaesthesia induce immune suppression, it remains unclear whether there are differences between anaesthetic techniques in inducing immune suppression in cancer patients.

Objective: The aim of this present study was to compare the effects of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) and isoflurane anaesthesia on plasma concentrations of interleukins IL-6 and IL-10 in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer.

Design: A randomised, controlled, open-label study.
