During anesthesia, a nurse draped several gas hoses over the ventilator relief valve on the back of the anesthesia machine, causing a malfunction. Unintended positive end-expiratory pressure was administered to the patient. Causes of this mishap, anesthesia machine design, and nonanesthesiologist familiarity with anesthesia machine components and their function, are discussed.

Bias in machine learning applications to address non-communicable diseases at a population-level: a scoping review.
BMC Public Health

Background: Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in population and public health to support epidemiological studies, surveillance, and evaluation. Our objective was to conduct a scoping review to identify studies that use ML in population health, with a focus on its use in non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We also examine potential algorithmic biases in model design, training, and implementation, as well as efforts to mitigate these biases.

Electronic address:
Objective: Varicose vein ablation is generally indicated in patients with active/healed venous ulcers. However, patient selection for intervention in individuals without venous ulcers is less clear. Tools that predict lack of clinical improvement (LCI) following vein ablation may help guide clinical decision-making but remain limited.

December 2024
Department of Neurology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, US.
Background: Delirium is common in hospitalized patients and correlated with increased morbidity and mortality. Despite this, delirium is underdiagnosed, and many institutions do not have sufficient resources to consistently apply effective screening and prevention.
Objective: To develop a machine learning algorithm to identify patients at highest risk of delirium in the hospital each day in an automated fashion based on data available in the electronic medical record, reducing the barrier to large-scale delirium screening.
