Comparison of femoral triangle plus iPACK blocks with femoral triangle block alone for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a randomized controlled clinical trial on postoperative pain and knee function.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) can cause severe postoperative pain. However, consensus regarding the most effective regional analgesia is lacking. We hypothesized that, compared with femoral triangle block (FTB) and local infiltration analgesia, adding an iPACK block would decrease postoperative morphine consumption.

Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block combined with local infiltration analgesia is not superior to local infiltration analgesia for the management of postoperative pain after primary elective total hip arthroplasty: A prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind trial.

Background: Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) has been advocated for the pain management after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The analgesic benefits of an added pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block remain questionable.

Methods: This randomized, single-blind trial enrolled patients undergoing elective THA under general anaesthesia and standardized postoperative analgesia.

Changes in Practices After Implementation of a Patient Blood Management Program in French Surgical Departments: The National Multicenter Observational PERIOPES Study.

Background: Patient blood management (PBM) is an evidence-based approach recommended to improve patient outcomes. Change in practices is often challenging. We report here data from French surgical departments before and after a standardized implementation of a PBM program.

Perioperative Risk Assessment of Patients Using the MyRISK Digital Score Completed Before the Preanesthetic Consultation: Prospective Observational Study.

Background: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the potential of digital health solutions to adapt the organization of care in a crisis context.

Objective: Our aim was to describe the relationship between the MyRISK score, derived from self-reported data collected by a chatbot before the preanesthetic consultation, and the occurrence of postoperative complications.

Methods: This was a single-center prospective observational study that included 401 patients.

A High Postoperative Atropinic Burden is Associated with Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients with Hip Fracture: Results of the Prospective, Observational, ATROPAGE Trial.

Background: Postoperative frequently occurs in the elderly after hip fracture surgery and is associated with poor outcomes. Our aim was to identify a correlation between the atropinic burden (AB) due to drugs with clinical antimuscarinic effect and the occurrence of postoperative .

Methods: We carried out a prospective, monocentric, observational study including 67 patients over 65 years of age who underwent hip fracture surgery.

Assessment of lung ultrasound for early detection of respiratory complications in thoracic surgery.

Background And Objectives: To assess lung ultrasound for the diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory complications in thoracic surgery.

Methods: Prospective observational study in a University hospital, single institution. Adult patients scheduled for pulmonary resection surgery excluding pneumonectomy.

Improving Provision of Preanesthetic Information Through Use of the Digital Conversational Agent "MyAnesth": Prospective Observational Trial.

Background: Due to time limitations, the preanesthetic consultation (PAC) is not the best time for patients to integrate information specific to their perioperative care pathway.

Objective: The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital companion on patients' knowledge of anesthesia and their satisfaction after real-life implementation.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, monocentric, comparative study using a before-and-after design.

Is preoperative balloon aortic valvuloplasty of interest for severe aortic stenosis in hip fracture surgery?

Purpose: In elderly patients, the discovery and management of a severe aortic stenosis (AS) prior to emergency non-cardiac surgery is a frequent and controversial issue. The objective of this study was to evaluate preoperative balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) for severe AS in hip fracture surgery.

Methods: We conducted an observational, monocentric, retrospective study from 2011 to 2018.

Control of Spinal Anesthesia-Induced Hypotension in Adults.

Spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension (SAIH) occurs frequently, particularly in the elderly and in patients undergoing caesarean section. SAIH is caused by arterial and venous vasodilatation resulting from the sympathetic block along with a paradoxical activation of cardioinhibitory receptors. Bradycardia after spinal anesthesia (SA) must always be treated as a warning sign of an important hemodynamic compromise.
