Article Synopsis
- * Conducted across 40 hospitals in France, the trial involved 2,222 patients who were randomly assigned to either keep using RASIs until surgery or stop them 48 hours prior.
- * The results showed no significant difference in all-cause mortality or major complications within 28 days after surgery between the two groups, suggesting that either strategy can be safely applied.
Perennial ryegrass is an important forage crop in dairy farming, either for grazing or haying purposes. To further optimise the forage use, this study focused on understanding forage digestibility in the two most important cuts of perennial ryegrass, the spring cut at heading and the autumn cut. In a highly diverse collection of 592 genotypes, the organic matter digestibility (OMD) and underlying traits such as cell wall digestibility (NDFD) and cell wall components (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) were investigated for 2 years.

Methods: This was a multicenter, randomized, nonblinded parallel-group clinical trial conducted in five hospitals. Adult patients in sinus rhythm having elective orthopedic surgery (knee or hip arthroplasty) under general anesthesia were enrolled.
Background: Whether the respiratory changes of the inferior vena cava diameter during a deep standardized inspiration can reliably predict fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients with cardiac arrhythmia is unknown.
Methods: This prospective two-center study included nonventilated arrhythmic patients with infection-induced acute circulatory failure. Hemodynamic status was assessed at baseline and after a volume expansion of 500 mL 4% gelatin.
Objective: To investigate whether the collapsibility index of the inferior vena cava recorded during a deep standardized inspiration predicts fluid responsiveness in nonintubated patients.
Design: Prospective, nonrandomized study.
Setting: ICUs at a general and a university hospital.
Background: The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as a treatment for severe cardiovascular impairment due to poisoning is unclear. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective cohort analysis to compare survival among critically ill poisoned patients treated with or without ECLS.
Methods: All consecutive patients admitted into 2 university hospitals in northwestern France over the past decade for persistent cardiac arrest or severe shock following poisoning due to drug intoxication were included.
