Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare recovery quality in esophageal cancer patients receiving two types of pain relief: epidural and paravertebral analgesia, after minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).
- The trial found that while both methods were effective, epidural analgesia provided better quality of recovery in the early postoperative days, though no significant differences were noted on postoperative day 3.
- Ultimately, both analgesia techniques can be used in practice as they showed similar outcomes regarding complications and hospital stays.
Comparison of the Quantra QPlus and ROTEM Goal-Directed Transfusion Protocols in Cardiothoracic Surgery Patients: A Prospective Observational Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the transfusion recommendations of two treatment protocols: Quantra QPlus and ROTEM, specifically in patients undergoing elective cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
- Researchers analyzed 100 samples from patients post-surgery, finding that the transfusion advice from the two protocols showed poor agreement overall and for specific transfusion needs like fibrinogen.
- The results indicate that the Quantra QPlus protocol may recommend unnecessary transfusions in non-bleeding patients, while it occasionally suggests transfusions when ROTEM does not, highlighting the need for adjustments in the Quantra QPlus protocol.
Purpose: Duration and severity of exposure to excess adipose tissue are important risk factors for complications, but are generally not examined in conjunction. We developed a metric considering both factors to examine the relationship between obesity-related complications and parameters of cardiometabolic health in patients undergoing a metabolic bariatric procedure (MBS).
Materials & Methods: Data from patients screened for primary MBS between 2017 and 2021 were analyzed.
Background: Diaries have been used regularly in international settings as an evidence-based and easily applicable intervention following a person-centred approach in the intensive care unit (ICU). In addition, a diary web application known as 'Post-ICU' has been implemented.
Aim: To explore the usability of an innovative digital diary from the perspectives of intensive care patients' relatives.
