Introduction: Iron deficiency, with or without anaemia, is common during the peri-operative period. It has been hypothesised that pre-operative iron deficiency is associated with an increased incidence of postoperative infection. We designed the CARIPO prospective observational study to assess the incidence of postoperative infection in patients with and without iron deficiency undergoing a variety of major surgeries.

Moreover, the QoR-15's associations with long-term outcomes remain underexplored. This study aimed to confirm the validity and reliability of the QoR-15 following emergency surgery and assess its association with three-month postoperative quality of life.

- Trained ICU nurses can perform oesophageal pressure measurements, which help in evaluating lung and chest wall mechanics and spotting patient-ventilator asynchronies.
- An educational study was conducted to assess the nurses' ability to perform these measurements after a short training program.
- All 11 nurses who completed the program succeeded in their practical evaluations, indicating that the training is effective and feasible for accurate measurement.
Background: Robust evidence to inform best transfusion management after major oncologic surgery, where postoperative recovery might impact treatment regimens for cancer, is lacking. We conducted a study to validate the feasibility of a larger trial comparing liberal versus restrictive red blood cells (RBC) transfusion strategies after major oncologic surgery.
Study Design And Methods: This was a two-center, randomized, controlled, study of patients admitted to the intensive care unit after major oncologic surgery.
Study Objective: The QoR-15 scale is a validated tool to assess the quality of postoperative recovery (QoR). Our objective was to assess the association between the early QoR-15 values and the occurrence of one-month postoperative complications.
Design: We used the data from a prospective single-centre cohort study conducted in the Angers University Hospital from July 2019 to February 2020 that validated the French version of the QoR-15 (FQoR-15).
