Progression of chronic kidney disease after non-cardiac surgery: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Chronic-kidney-disease (CKD) is prevalent among adults undergoing noncardiac surgery, with surgery-related factors potentially worsening CKD or triggering acute kidney injury (AKI). We hypothesized that CKD patients experience more kidney function decline within one to two years post-surgery than those without CKD, particularly if they develop AKI.

Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study, including noncardiac surgery patients with documented creatinine preoperative and between 1 and 2 years after surgery.

Impact of complications on survival outcomes in different temporary mechanical circulatory support techniques: A large retrospective cohort study of cardiac surgical and nonsurgical patients.

Background: Temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) has become a standard treatment in cardiogenic shock but is associated with high complication rates. This study analyzes common complications associated with modern tMCS devices and their impact on mortality depending on the tMCS approach.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis of patients with all-cause cardiogenic shock treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal life support, microaxial flow pump, and a combination of both (ECMELLA).

Preventing, identifying and managing myocardial injury after non cardiac surgery - a narrative review.

Purpose Of Review: There is mounting and convincing evidence that patients with postoperative troponin elevation, with or without any clinical symptoms, are at higher risk for both, short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) is a relatively newly described syndrome, and the pathogenesis is not fully understood yet. MINS is now an established syndrome and multiple guidelines address potential etiologies, triggers, as well as preventive and management strategies.

Perioperative Hypotension in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients with Dialysis Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease who require maintenance dialysis suffer excess morbidity and mortality for reasons that are not clearly elucidated. There are few targets for intervention to improve their outcomes. The authors hypothesized that perioperative hypotension is more common in patients receiving dialysis.

Learning tracheal intubation with a hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy blade: sub-analysis of a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: The number of tracheal intubation attempts required to reach proficiency in videolaryngoscopy with hyperangulated blades is unknown. Understanding this training requirement might guide training for clinicians who perform laryngoscopy. We therefore performed a planned sub-analysis of a randomised controlled trial comparing tracheal intubation success with videolaryngoscopy vs.
