A 27-year-old woman of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease presented with multiple intracranial aneurysms at anterior communicating artery and left middle cerebral artery bifurcation. She was undergoing hemodialysis every alternate day and was waiting for a renal transplantation. Endovascular coiling of both these aneurysms was performed under general endotracheal anesthesia. During the procedure special precaution was taken with regard to intra-procedural fluid management and maintenance of cerebral perfusion pressure. The procedure remained uneventful during which a stable hemodynamics was maintained. In this report, the implication of intraprocedural fluid infusion by the neuroradiologist its possible influence on overall anesthetic management has been described.

Purpose: The use of patient/family-centred written summaries to supplement verbal information may be useful to improve knowledge and reduce anxiety related to patient transfer from the intensive care unit (ICU) to a hospital ward. We aimed to identify essential elements to include in an ICU-specific patient-oriented discharge summary tool (PODS-ICU).
Methods: We conducted a mixed methods study.

Unnecessary preoperative testing poses a risk to patient safety, causes surgical delays, and increases healthcare costs. We describe the effects of implementing a fully EHR-integrated closed-loop clinical decision support system (CDSS) for placing automatic preprocedural test orders at two teaching hospitals in Madrid, Spain. Interrupted time series analysis was performed to evaluate changes in rates of preoperative testing after CDSS implementation, which took place from September 2019 to December 2019.
