However, sometimes elective institution of peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass is needed for safe sternotomy, albeit with a long cardio-pulmonary bypass time.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess whether parasternal block with multihole catheters inserted before surgical incision enables to alleviate postoperative analgesia and opioid reduction in cardiac surgery patients with sternotomy.
Methods: Twenty-six adult patients scheduled for cardiac surgery with sternotomy aged between 18 and 84 olds were included in this prospective, monocentric, open, single-group trial. Two parasternal multihole catheters were inserted on each side of the sternum before the surgical skin incision for cardiac surgery and 10 mL of ropivacaine 7.

Introduction: It is hypothesized that systemically administered antibiotics penetrate wound sites more effectively during negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). However, there is a lack of clinical data from patients who receive NPWT for deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) after open-heart surgery. Here, we evaluated vancomycin penetration into exudate in this patient group.

Importance: This diagnostic study describes the merger of domain knowledge (Kramer principle of dermal advancement of icterus) with current machine learning (ML) techniques to create a novel tool for screening of neonatal jaundice (NNJ), which affects 60% of term and 80% of preterm infants.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a smartphone-based ML app to predict bilirubin (SpB) levels in multiethnic neonates using skin color analysis.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This diagnostic study was conducted between June 2022 and June 2024 at a tertiary hospital and 4 primary-care clinics in Singapore with a consecutive sample of neonates born at 35 or more weeks' gestation and within 21 days of birth.
