Cerebrospinal drains are considered a potential intervention to mitigate these risks, although their efficacy and safety are uncertain. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cerebrospinal drains in preventing and managing spinal cord ischemia and injury.

Article Synopsis
  • Micronutrient (MN) alterations in critically ill patients can lead to complications, but improving MN status may help as a supportive therapy.
  • This review, done by a specialized group, focuses on individual important MNs, such as vitamins A, B, C, D, E, as well as minerals like iron and zinc, to guide future research.
  • It emphasizes that high-dose single MN treatments are not advised; instead, patients should receive daily basal needs, with adjustments for higher requirements and treatment for deficiencies, and lists ongoing trials and future research priorities.

Background: Lumbar spine surgery for discectomy or laminectomy is mostly performed under general anesthesia (GA). Here, we explored whether, in a series of 84 patients, better peri-operative outcomes and lower complication rates could be achieved for those undergoing diskectomy/laminectomy under spinal anesthesia (SA) versus GA.

Methods: From 2022 to 2023, 84 patients were randomly assigned to undergo lumbar discectomy/laminectomy for stenosis under SA: 42 patients versus GAGA: 42 patients.
