Article Synopsis
- The study investigates sex-specific differences in patients undergoing Type A Acute Aortic Dissection (TAAAD) repair, revealing that women tend to be older and have poorer pre-operative health compared to men.
- Data was gathered from three cardiac surgery departments over a 16-year period, and statistical methods were used to analyze the influence of gender on surgical outcomes.
- Despite significant differences in patient profiles, the study found no notable difference in long-term survival rates or postoperative complications between male and female patients, although women with high preoperative arterial lactate levels faced higher operative mortality.
Learning curve for real-time ultrasound-guided percutaneous tracheostomy.
Anaesth Crit Care Pain Med
October 2017
Objectives: The objective of this study was to demonstrate and quantify the ultrasound-guided percutaneous tracheostomy (UPDT) learning curve in a single team since the first UPDT.
Study Design And Patients: This was a cohort of all consecutive patients undergoing UPDT in the Amiens teaching hospital surgical intensive care unit between 2010 and 2014.
Methods: The learning process was evaluated according to three aspects: duration of the various steps involved in UPDT, incidence of consecutive complications, and procedure difficulty.
Introduction: The objective of this study was to test whether stroke volume (SV) variations in response to a fixed mini-fluid challenge (ΔSV100) measured by impedance cardiography (ICG) could predict an increase in arterial pressure with volume expansion in spontaneously breathing patients under spinal anaesthesia.
Methods: Thirty-four patients, monitored by ICG who required intravenous fluid to expand their circulating volume during surgery under spinal anaesthesia, were studied. Haemodynamic variables and bioimpedance indices (blood pressure, SV, cardiac output [CO]) were measured before and after fluid challenge with 100mL of crystalloid, and before/after volume expansion.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to create a predictive score for yeast isolation in patients with complicated non-postoperative intra-abdominal infections (CNPIAI) and to evaluate the impact of yeast isolation on outcome.
Methods: All patients with a CNPIAI undergoing emergency surgery over a three-year period were included in the retrospective cohort (RC, n = 290). Patients with a yeast-positive peritoneal fluid culture (YP) were compared with patients with a yeast-negative culture (YN).
Background: The ability to predict fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients under spinal anaesthesia is desirable.
Objective: The objective of this study was to test whether variations in stroke volume (SV) in response to a fixed mini-fluid challenge (ΔSV100) measured by thoracic impedance cardiography (ICG) can predict fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients under spinal anaesthesia.
Design: A prospective observational study.
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) and the incidence of complications in critically ill, obese patients.
Methods: Fifty consecutive patients were included in a prospective study in two surgical and critical care medicine departments. Obesity was defined as a body mass index (BMI) of at least 30 kg/m².
