Background: Frailty is a predictor of morbidity and mortality in older patients. This study aimed to investigate the influence of frailty status on likelihood, rate, duration, and severity of intraoperative hypotension (IOH), which can lead to severe organ dysfunction.

Methods: Surgical patients (≥70 yr old) with preoperative frailty assessment were analysed retrospectively.

As an extension of the clinical examination and as a diagnostic and problem-solving tool, ultrasound has become an established technique for clinicians. A prerequisite for high-quality clinical ultrasound practice is adequate student ultrasound training. In light of the considerable heterogeneity of ultrasound curricula in medical studies worldwide, this review presents basic principles of modern medical student ultrasound education and advocates for the establishment of an ultrasound core curriculum embedded both horizontally and vertically in medical studies.

Article Synopsis
  • This study looked at how long patients in the ICU should be helped to get out of bed to improve their recovery.
  • Researchers found that helping patients get up for more than 40 minutes each day helped them feel better when they left the ICU.
  • However, if patients were already moving well, moving them more didn't really help them get better faster.

Background: Frailty is a state of reduced functional capacities in older people that can be reversed through multimodal therapy concepts. The effect of preoperative prehabilitation on frailty has been examined, but the heterogeneity of exercise regimens has prevented conclusive evidence. This scoping review analyses prehabilitation interventions, particularly exercise methods, published in trials for prefrail and frail elderly patients.

Introduction: Early mobilisation within 72 hours of intensive care unit admission counteracts complications caused by critical illness. The effect of different interventions on intensive care unit length of stay and other outcomes is unclear. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of various early mobilisation interventions within 72 hours of admission to the intensive care unit on length of stay and other outcomes.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has required clinical skills training to be transferred to an online format. An interactive synchronous online tutorial with different camera perspectives was developed. In a survey, 79% of the students preferred the first-person perspective, which allowed students to view the abdominal examination through the examiner's eyes.

Background: While early mobilization is commonly implemented in intensive care unit treatment guidelines to improve functional outcome, the characterization of the optimal individual dosage (frequency, level or duration) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that artificial intelligence-based clustering of a large ICU cohort can provide individualized mobilization recommendations that have a positive impact on the likelihood of being discharged home.

Methods: This study is an analysis of a prospective observational database of two interdisciplinary intensive care units in Munich, Germany.
