Article Synopsis
- * A total of 152 lesions from 144 patients were analyzed, revealing that ME had a higher diagnostic accuracy (73.0%) compared to EUS (66.4%), especially in high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and carcinoma cases.
- * The use of a miniature EUS probe significantly improved accuracy in determining tumor invasion depth, and findings showed that certain factors, like less circumferential occupation, are important for accuracy in EUS assessments.
Background: The debate on lung-protective ventilation strategies for surgical patients is ongoing. Evidence suggests that the use of low tidal volume V improves clinical outcomes. However, the optimal levels of PEEP and recruitment manoeuvre (RM) strategies incorporated into low V ventilation remain unclear.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Whether goal-directed fluid therapy based on dynamic predictors of fluid responsiveness (GDFTdyn) alone improves clinical outcomes in comparison with standard fluid therapy among patients undergoing surgery remains unclear.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for relevant studies.
Purpose: We aimed to seek risk factors for AMI among adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Materials And Methods: We searched electronic bibliographic databases for studies reporting risk factors for AMI among adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Pooled odds ratios (OR) and standard mean differences (SMD or MD) for risk factors between AMI and control group were estimated.
