Factors associated with 30-day mortality after perioperative cardiac arrest in adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery: a seven-year observational study from Siriraj Hospital.

Background: Perioperative cardiac arrest (PCA) in non-cardiac surgery patients is a rare but potentially catastrophic event with high mortality. Several studies highlighted factors contributing to PCA within the surgical population, but information on its outcomes remains limited. This study sought to identify independent factors associated with 30-day mortality after PCA in adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

First anesthesia exposure effects on short-term neurocognitive function among 1- to 36-month-old children: a case-control pilot study.

Background: Multiple human studies have shown no significant long-term results of anesthesia exposure during early childhood compared to the general population; however, reports on short-term neurodevelopmental assessment before and after anesthesia exposure are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term characteristics of neurocognitive function post-anesthesia in noncardiac surgery compared with baseline.

Methods: This prospective case-control pilot study recruited healthy participants in the control group and hospitalized children in the anesthesia group.
