AI Article Synopsis
- * A group of 15 international specialists convened in Amsterdam to create consensus-based guidelines for managing OSA in MBS patients, addressing various topics like preoperative screening, anesthetic care, and postoperative monitoring.
- * Their meeting resulted in 58 recommendations, where the experts largely agreed on key issues such as using polysomnography for OSA diagnosis and the need for careful monitoring of patients post-surgery, emphasizing the importance of minimizing sedative and opioid use.
Article Abstract
Background: The frequency of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is increasing worldwide, with over 500,000 cases performed every year. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is present in 35%-94% of MBS patients. Nevertheless, consensus regarding the perioperative management of OSA in MBS patients is not established.
Objectives: To provide consensus based guidelines utilizing current literature and, when in the absence of supporting clinical data, expert opinion by organizing a consensus meeting of experts from relevant specialties.
Setting: The meeting was held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Methods: A panel of 15 international experts identified 75 questions covering preoperative screening, treatment, postoperative monitoring, anesthetic care and follow-up. Six researchers reviewed the literature systematically. During this meeting, the "Amsterdam Delphi Method" was utilized including controlled acquisition of feedback, aggregation of responses and iteration.
Results: Recommendations or statements were provided for 58 questions. In the judgment of the experts, 17 questions provided no additional useful information and it was agreed to exclude them. With the exception of 3 recommendations (64%, 66%, and 66% respectively), consensus (>70%) was reached for 55 statements and recommendations. Several highlights: polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosing OSA; continuous positive airway pressure is recommended for all patients with moderate and severe OSA; OSA patients should be continuously monitored with pulse oximetry in the early postoperative period; perioperative usage of sedatives and opioids should be minimized.
Conclusion: This first international expert meeting provided 58 statements and recommendations for a clinical consensus guideline regarding the perioperative management of OSA patients undergoing MBS.

Background: Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a widely recognized treatment for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), particularly in cases where traditional methods are ineffective. This paper systematically reviews randomized controlled trials to analyze the efficacy of SCS, as well as Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation in treating CRPS, focusing on its long-term effectiveness.
Methods: This systematic review focused exclusively on randomized controlled trials to assess a primary outcome of improvement in pain symptoms in patients diagnosed with CRPS.

Endovascular repair of aortic injuries secondary to blunt trauma has been widely described. However, literature on endovascular management in penetrating aortic injuries is scarce. The patient in this case report, a victim of penetrating thoracic aortic trauma, presented 5 days after injury with Brown-Sequard syndrome and a contained aortic injury (pseudoaneurysm) and was haemodynamically stable.

Introduction: The relationship between the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines and inflammatory markers in laparoscopic surgery has garnered increasing attention. These recommendations are designed to minimize surgical stress and potentially improve recovery outcomes by modifying perioperative care.
Objective: This scoping review aims to evaluate the impact of ERAS recommendations on inflammatory markers in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries, identifying current research gaps and consolidating findings from existing studies.
