Objectives: To estimate the use of albumin among adults undergoing thoracic surgery in the United States, compare baseline characteristics, clinical and cost outcomes of recipients versus nonrecipients, and determine albumin's contribution to total hospital costs.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Nationwide sample of US hospitals.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of early dexmedetomidine, a sedative, on blood biomarkers in adults with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) after being admitted to the ICU.
- Researchers analyzed data from the TRACK-TBI study, focusing on adults with specific Glasgow Coma Scale scores who required mechanical ventilation and sedation within the first 48 hours post-injury.
- Findings showed that, out of 352 TBI patients, only 14.2% received early dexmedetomidine, but there were no significant associations found between dexmedetomidine use and the levels of brain injury biomarkers measured on days 3, 5, and 14.
Objectives: To examine trends in the prevalence of multiorgan dysfunction (MODS), utilization of multi-organ support (MOS), and mortality among patients undergoing cardiac surgery with MODS who received MOS in the United States.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: 183 hospitals in the Premier Healthcare Database.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of early ketamine use in COVID-19 patients on mechanical ventilation across 610 hospitals in the U.S. from April 2020 to June 2021.
- About 3.3% of the 42,954 patients analyzed received ketamine within 2 days of intubation, and results suggest a higher hospital mortality rate (52.5% vs. 45.9%) and longer hospital stays for those who received the drug.
- Findings indicate that while early ketamine use is linked to increased costs and prolonged ICU and ventilator days, it did not significantly impact overall hospital length of stay or other critical care measures like vasopressor and renal replacement therapy days.
Background: Perioperative cardiac arrest (PCA) in non-cardiac surgery patients is a rare but potentially catastrophic event with high mortality. Several studies highlighted factors contributing to PCA within the surgical population, but information on its outcomes remains limited. This study sought to identify independent factors associated with 30-day mortality after PCA in adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Background: Perioperative immediate hypersensitivity reaction (POH) is an immediate hypersensitivity reaction during an anesthesiologist monitored procedure. We report data of clinically-suspected POH (csPOH) patients undergoing an allergist-performed unified diagnostic workup algorithm for POH.
Objective: To describe the characteristics of patients with csPOH, POH events, and the POH outcomes of procedures after the unified diagnostic workup algorithm for POH.
Background: Protamine administration post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can potentially cause hemodynamic instability. Histamine released from mast cells is believed to be responsible for hypotension after protamine administration. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of pretreatment with H1 and H2 antihistamines on changes in systemic arterial pressure following protamine administration.
