The effect of an intraoperative patient-specific, surgery-specific haemodynamic algorithm in improving textbook outcomes for hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery: a multicentre retrospective study.

Background: The concept of a "textbook outcome" is emerging as a metric for ideal surgical outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the impact of an advanced haemodynamic monitoring (AHDM) algorithm on achieving a textbook outcome in patients undergoing hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery.

Methods: This retrospective, multicentre observational study was conducted across private and public teaching sectors in Victoria, Australia.

Association of perioperative transfusion of fresh frozen plasma and outcomes after cardiac surgery.

Background: Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion is used to manage coagulopathy and bleeding in cardiac surgery patients despite uncertainty about its safety and effectiveness.

Methods: We performed a propensity score matched analysis of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons National Cardiac Surgery Database including patients from 39 centres from 2005 to 2018. We investigated the association of perioperative FFP transfusion with mortality and other clinical outcomes.

Platelet versus fresh frozen plasma transfusion for coagulopathy in cardiac surgery patients.

Background: Platelets (PLTS) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) are often transfused in cardiac surgery patients for perioperative bleeding. Their relative effectiveness is unknown.

Methods: We conducted an entropy-weighted retrospective cohort study using the Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons National Cardiac Surgery Database.

Fresh frozen plasma transfusion after cardiac surgery.

Introduction: Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion in the intensive care unit (ICU) is commonly used to treat coagulopathy and bleeding in cardiac surgery, despite suggestion that it may increase the risk of morbidity and mortality through mechanisms such as fluid overload and infection.

Methods: We retrospectively studied consecutive adults undergoing cardiac surgery from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III and IV databases. We applied propensity score matching to investigate the independent association of within-ICU FFP transfusion with mortality and other key clinical outcomes.

The impact of intraoperative and postoperative fluid balance on complications for transthoracic esophagectomy: a retrospective analysis.

Objective: Transthoracic esophagectomy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is imperative to optimize perioperative management and minimize complications. In this retrospective analysis, we evaluated the association between fluid balance and esophagectomy complications at a tertiary hospital in Melbourne, Australia, with a particular focus on respiratory morbidity and anastomotic leaks.

Platelet Transfusion in Cardiac Surgery: An Entropy-Balanced, Weighted, Multicenter Analysis.

Background: Platelet transfusion is common in cardiac surgery, but some studies have suggested an association with harm. Accordingly, we investigated the association of perioperative platelet transfusion with morbidity and mortality.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the Australian Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons National Cardiac Surgery Database.

Association of Perioperative Cryoprecipitate Transfusion and Mortality After Cardiac Surgery.

Background: Cryoprecipitate is often transfused in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, its safety and effectiveness remain uncertain.

Methods: This study was a propensity score-matched analysis of data from the Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons National Cardiac Surgery Database.

Platelet Transfusion After Cardiac Surgery.

Objectives: To investigate the independent association of platelet transfusion with hospital mortality and key relevant clinical outcomes in cardiac surgery.

Design: A single-center, propensity score-matched, retrospective, cohort study.

Setting: At an American tertiary teaching hospital data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III and IV databases from 2001 to 2019.

Cryoprecipitate Transfusion After Cardiac Surgery.

Objectives: The association of cryoprecipitate transfusion with patient outcomes after cardiac surgery is unclear. We aimed to investigate the predictors of, and outcomes associated with, postoperative cryoprecipitate transfusion in cardiac surgery patients.

Methods: We used the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III and IV databases.
