Splanchnic hypoperfusion, with pathogenic implications for multiple organ failure, can occur during septic shock. We report four patients with septic shock in whom regional hepatosplenic splanchnic perfusion was monitored through suprahepatic vein catheterization and gastric tonometry. Suprahepatic lactate and oxygen saturation showed splanchnic hypoperfusion in all patients. These parameters improved only in the patient that survived. Gastric tonometry was more inconsistent. We conclude that suprahepatic vein catheterization could have a role in the management of septic shock.

Evaluation of external and radiological landmark methods for optimizing ultrasound-guided right internal jugular venous catheterization depth in cardiac surgery.
Sci Rep

Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, 50200, Thailand.
The formula-based estimation of the right internal jugular venous (IJV) catheterization depth can be inaccurate when using ultrasound guidance. External landmark-based and radiological landmark-based methods have been proposed as alternatives to estimate the insertion depth. This study aimed to evaluate these methods using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)-guided insertion depth as the reference.

Cardiology, Lower Bucks Hospital, Bristol, USA.
Inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies are rare congenital pathologies related to variations of agenesis, hypoplasia, or atresia, predisposing patients to thromboembolic events secondary to an alteration in venous drainage with resultant stasis. This is a case report of a 27-year-old male without significant medical history presenting for a fall after playing recreational basketball with associated pain and swelling in his left lower extremity. After his symptoms progressively worsened, he came to the emergency room for an evaluation where an ultrasound (US) of the extremity showed extensive deep vein thromboses (DVT).

Objective: To provide evidence for further reducing the incidence of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) according to investigation of the prevention and control of CLABSI in intensive care unit (ICU) in Shandong Province.
Methods: The questionnaire was developed by experts from Shandong Critical Care Medical Quality Control Center, combining domestic and foreign guidelines, consensus and research. A convenient sampling method was used to recruit survey subjects online from October 11 to 31, 2023 in the province to investigate the management status of central venous catheter (CVC) in ICU units of secondary and above hospitals.
The risk factors and prediction model for postoperative pneumonia after craniotomy.

Nursing Department, Chengfei Hospital, Chengdu, China.
Background: Craniotomy is highly susceptible to postoperative pneumonia, which significantly impacts the outcomes of patients undergoing such procedures. Our study aims to examine the risk factors associated with postoperative pneumonia and establish a predictive model with a nomogram to assess this risk.
Methods: We conducted a matched 1:1 case-control study involving 831 adult patients undergoing craniotomy at our hospital.
Identification of Neonatal Factors Predicting Pre-Discharge Mortality in Extremely Preterm or Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants: A Historical Cohort Study.

Department of Pediatrics, The Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou 510630, China.
Background/objectives: This study identified early neonatal factors predicting pre-discharge mortality among extremely preterm infants (EPIs) or extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWIs) in China, where data are scarce.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 211 (92 deaths) neonates born <28 weeks of gestation or with a birth weight <1000 g, admitted to University Affiliated Hospitals from 2013 to 2024 in Guangzhou, China. Data on 26 neonatal factors before the first 24 h of life and pre-discharge mortality were collected.
