Background: Preoperative education may help participants to psychologically prepare themselves for surgery, but the outcomes of such preparation have rarely been assessed in patients requiring postoperative care in the intensive care unit (ICU) as well as in family members.
Objective: To assess the effect of a preoperative multifaceted education intervention on patient and family satisfaction levels in the ICU and measures of perioperative patients' anxiety and depression.
Trial Design: Single-centre, two-armed, parallel, superiority, randomised controlled trial. Healthcare professionals in ICU and outcome assessor were blinded to treatment allocation.
Participants: 100 elective coronary artery bypass grafting±valve surgery patients and their family members.
Interventions: Preoperative education comprising of a video and ICU tour in addition to standard care (treatment), versus standard care (control).
Outcomes: Patient and family satisfaction levels with ICU using validated PS-ICU23 and FS-ICU24 questionnaires (0-100), respectively; change in perioperative anxiety and depression scores between 1 day presurgery and 3 days postsurgery.
Results: Among 100 (50 treatment, 50 control) patients and 98 (49 treatment, 49 control) family members, 94 (48 treatment, 46 control) patients and 94 (47 treatment, 47 control) family members completed the trial. Preoperative education was associated with higher overall patient (mean difference (MD) 6.7, 95% CI 0.2 to 13.2) and family (MD 10.0, 95% CI 3.8 to 16.3) satisfaction scores. There was a weak association between preoperative education and a reduction in patient's anxiety scores over time (MD -1.7, 95% CI -3.5 to 0.0). However, there was no evidence of a treatment effect on patient's depression scores over time (MD -0.6, 95% CI -2.3 to 1.2).
Conclusion: Providing comprehensive preoperative information about ICU to elective cardiac surgical patients improved patient and family satisfaction levels and may decrease patients' anxiety levels.

Enhancing Compliance With Preoperative Fasting Guidelines: A Closed-Loop Quality Improvement Initiative to Optimize Patient Safety and Outcomes.
Cureus
December 2024
Cardiothoracic Surgery, Moscow Regional Research and Clinical Institute, Moscow, RUS.
Introduction Preoperative fasting is essential in surgical care to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration during anesthesia. International guidelines, such as those from the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and the European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA), recommend fasting durations of six hours for solids and two hours for clear liquids. However, adherence to these guidelines often varies in clinical practice, leading to prolonged fasting times that can negatively impact patient outcomes, including dehydration, hypoglycemia, discomfort, and delayed recovery.

Department of Scientific Research and Academic, Cancer Hospital of China Medical University, Liaoning Cancer Hospital and Institute, Shenyang, Liaoning, P. R. China.
Background: This study aims to explore the value of habitat-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics for predicting the origin of brain metastasis (BM).
Purpose: To investigate whether habitat-based radiomics can identify the metastatic tumor type of BM and whether an imaging-based model that integrates the volume of peritumoral edema (VPE) can enhance predictive performance.
Methods: A primary cohort was developed with 384 patients from two centers, which comprises 734 BM lesions.
Robotic esophagectomy with function-preserving radical mediastinal lymphadenectomy for esophageal cancer.
Ann Gastroenterol Surg
January 2025
Radical lymphadenectomy is the critical component of surgery for esophageal cancer. However, lymphadenectomy significantly contributes to postoperative morbidity, particularly in terms of pulmonary complications following esophagectomy. Function-preserving mediastinal lymphadenectomy seeks to balance the procedure's necessary radicality and optimal functional outcomes.

Patient Prefer Adherence
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Zuyderland Medical Center, Heerlen, 6419 PC, The Netherlands.
Purpose: Interest in prehabilitation, the preoperative enhancement of patients' condition, is rising in the surgical field. Challenging factors appear to be patients' motivation to participate in and their compliance with prehabilitation programs. The aim of this qualitative study was to study the real-life experience of prehabilitation by assessing the lived experience and perceptions of participants in a multimodal prehabilitation program and to explore factors that influence participation and compliance during prehabilitation.

Psychiatry, The Redwoods Centre, Shrewsbury, GBR.
Background Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common and debilitating complication in elderly hip fracture patients, associated with significant clinical and functional consequences. Early identification of risk factors, such as cognitive impairment and vitamin D deficiency, is essential to mitigate its impact. However, preoperative screening practices are often inconsistent.
