[User behavior during functional testing of the ventilator: analysis of the use of the QUICKcheck and detection of misconnected ventilation tubes].
Anaesthesiologie

Medizinische Fakultät Heidelberg, Klinik für Anästhesiologie, Universität Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 420, Heidelberg, Deutschland.
Background And Research Question: While patient safety during general anesthesia has improved in recent years, incidents still occur in anesthesia, particularly in the area of airway management and ventilation. In addition to a mandatory daily system test before using a ventilator, a QUICK check is recommended by the German Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (DGAI) before connecting a patient; however, misconnections of breathing tubes are still possible and not necessarily detected by the device self-test. The aim of the present study was to analyze user behavior at modern anesthesia workstations regarding the verification and functionality of the QUICK check.

Japan is one of the most developed countries in the world, and perinatal care is safe, with low maternal and neonatal mortality rates. However, as birthrate declines, advanced maternal age and the number of cesarean deliveries increases, efforts must be made to maintain safety in the future. The characteristic of the delivery facilities is "many small clinics," and half of all facilities have fewer than 500 deliveries per year.

Department of Anesthesia, School of Medicine, College of Medicine and Health sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia.
Background: Postoperative headache is a medical condition that has a strong association with future recurrence and chronic headache, higher morbidity and mortality, extended hospital stays, poor quality of life and high financial burden. Despite, having these consequences, there are limited studies in the study area.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence and associated factors of postoperative headache among adult elective surgical patients at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Northwest Ethiopia, April 9 to 20 June 2022.
Improving lung protective mechanical ventilation: the individualised intraoperative open-lung approach.

Despite the maturity and sophistication of anaesthesia workstations, improvements in our understanding of intraoperative mechanical ventilation, and use of less invasive surgical techniques, postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are still a common problem in surgical patients of all ages. PPCs are associated with a higher incidence of perioperative morbidity and mortality, longer hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. PPCs are strongly associated with anaesthesia-induced atelectasis, which predisposes to lung damage when partially collapsed lungs are subjected to mechanical ventilation.

Department of Anesthesiology, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Background: Tranexamic acid is an anti-fibrinolytic agent routinely used during hip and knee joint replacement surgery to minimize bleeding. Chronic kidney disease is a common chronic health problem seen among adults requiring major arthroplasty surgery. Tranexamic acid is renally cleared and may accumulate in chronic kidney disease.
