Purpose: Arrhythmias after an esophagectomy (most commonly atrial fibrillation) are a significant contributing factor to patient morbidity. However, the significance of an intraoperative arrhythmia is not completely understood. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the occurrence and risk factors for developing intraoperative arrhythmias in patients undergoing an esophagectomy.
Materials And Methods: We reviewed the records of 427 patients who underwent a transthoracic esophagectomy between 2001 and 2005. Variables such as age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, cardiac disease, preoperative pulmonary function test (PFT) results, cancer level, combined radiochemotherapy, intrathoracic cavity adhesions and anastomosis site, hemoglobin, central venous pressure (CVP), fluid balance, serum potassium level, dose of vasopressors, temperature, and combined general and epidural anesthesia were analyzed as risk factors for the occurrence of an arrhythmia. We defined this arrhythmia as one not originating from the sinus node.
Results: The incidence of intraoperative arrhythmia in this subset of patients was 17.1%, with a 37.2% reoccurrence rate during the first three postoperative days. Univariate and multivariate analysis revealed the presence of heart disease, poor PFTs, cervical anastomosis, elevated CVP, and higher ephedrine doses to be independent predictors of the development of an intraoperative arrhythmia.
Conclusion: The incidence of intraoperative arrhythmia during esophagectomy was 17.1% with a 37.2% of reoccurrence rate.

Objective: To investigate the predictive value of a Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) for postoperative major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs) in elderly patients undergoing major abdominal surgery and to develop a nomogram risk prediction model.
Methods: A total of 427 elderly patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent major abdominal surgery at our hospital between June 2023 and March 2024 were selected for the study, and 416 patients were ultimately included. The preoperative SPPB score was measured, and the patients were divided into two groups: a high SPPB group (≥ 10) and a low SPPB group (< 10).
Concurrent assessment of time-to-isolation and temperature at 30 s as an innovative metric for predicting the persistence of pulmonary vein isolation using second-generation cryoballoons.

Background: We attempted to establish correlations between intraoperative variables such as time-to-isolation (TTI) and temperature (T) at the 30-second mark, and the sustained efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation.
Methods: One hundred patients underwent repeat procedures subsequent to their index ablation. Five time intervals were delineated based on TTI metrics of 30, 35, 40, 45, and 60 s during the initial procedure.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and kidney transplant (KTx) recipients presents challenges in stroke risk management. This study aimed to compare hospitalization rates for ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular events in ESKD and KTx patients with and without AF.
Methods: Using the National Inpatient Sample (2005-2019), retrospective analysis was conducted on hospitalizations for ESKD and KTx patients with and without AF.
Risk factors for intraoperative hypothermia in patients receiving lung transplants.

Operating Room, The First Affiliated Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Intraoperative hypothermia (IOH) has a high incidence in lung transplantation, which is considered to be an important factor affecting perioperative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is crucial to prevent IOH during lung transplantation. This study aimed to identify risk factors for IOH in patients receiving lung transplants, and to develop a risk model for predicting IOH.
