We have reviewed our experience from January 2001 through January 2003 in 33 video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy and segmentectomy (VATS) in patients with cT1N0M0 lung cancer to look at intraoperative bleeding from pulmonary vessels. Intraoperative bleeding occurred in 15 cases, 45.5% of 33 VATS procedures, and 2 cases, 6.1% of VATS procedures converted to an open procedure. Intraoperative bleeding occurred more frequently in VATS segmentectomy than VATS lobectomy. Most of bleeding from pulmonary arteries and veins can be controlled by compression, and they can be controlled thoracoscopically by tie or suture through the utility thoracotomy. But, significant bleeding from pulmonary arteries, which can not be controlled with a mounted swab, it should be converted to an open procedure.

Aim: While manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is commonly employed for early first-trimester abortions, its effectiveness in treating hydatidiform mole is still unclear. This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MVA in comparison to dilation and curettage (D&C) for managing hydatidiform mole.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of medical records for 198 patients with hydatidiform mole treated at Nagoya University Hospital between 2004 and 2023.
Reducing postoperative blood product usage and costs in cardiothoracic surgery: the implementation of a multispecialty perioperative care model incorporating a haemostasis checklist.

Intensive Care Unit, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.
Transfusion of blood products following cardiothoracic surgery represents a significant proportion of national blood product usage, has significant cost implications and is associated with increased 30-day mortality. Following identification of an increase in blood product use, we implemented a healthcare improvement initiative using a perioperative care model and establishment of a new multispecialty cardiothoracic surgery taskforce to further define and tackle the problem. The initiative incorporated a bundle of preoperative identification of high-risk patients, an intraoperative haemostasis checklist, a programme of unit education focussing on bleeding postbypass and use of thromboelastography and introduction of postoperative protocols for identification and escalation of bleeding.
